Chapter 1117
At the same time, it acted as a reminder to her. It reminded her to stay determined, not lose her
sense of self in the rtionship, and to learn from her past mistakes to avoid making them again.
Because once she gave in, she might be consigned to eternal damnation!
It was almost evening the next day when Alicia drove to find Amelia.
“Amelia, remember when we decided to grab a bite together? There’s this amazing new restaurant
that serves delicious food. How about we go try it out? I havee all this way just to pick you up.
Please don’t say no,” Alicia said.
Amelia hesitated for a while and then smiled. “Sure. Let’s eat dinner together. Wait a moment.” After
saying that, Amelia informed Matilda and Aiden. Then she grabbed her bag and left the concession
stand to follow Alicia into the car.
Alicia took her to a fancy fondue restaurant. The restaurant targeted wealthy customers and gained
poprity online.
Amelia was impressed by the exquisite decoration inside, which naturally reflected its high price.
As they were about to order their food, a voice suddenly interrupted, saying, “Hey there, it’s Alicia!
What a coincidence! Ryan is here as well. Do you want to say hello to him?”
Amelia nced upward, only to discover a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he spoke to
Alicia, his eyes remained fixed on her with an inquisitive gaze that made her ufortable.
Alicia stood up and said to Amelia, “Amelia, it’s a coincidence that my partner is also here for dinner
today. I’ll go say hello!” Then she left with the middle-aged man and walked towards a nearby
private room.
Alicia returned after some time and said, “Amelia, my partner and his friends are currently dining in
the other private room. They have just ced their food order but haven’t started eating yet. It
would be great if we could join them since more people means more fun!”
Amelia replied, “I don’t know those people, and it’s not a good idea to join them. As you know, I
don’t like being in lively events. Today, I simply want to have a peaceful meal with you”

“Well, that’s not true. It’s just a meal. I told them I’m bringing you to the private room for dinner. If I
say you’re not going now, my partner will be angry, and I will suffer the consequences. I’m not afraid
to tell you the truth. He and I are not married. If he is unhappy with me, he can end our rtionship
anytime. Amelia, I am over 30, and this man is my future.”
Alicia expressed her sorrow with a pitiful tone. She even went so far as to use her previous acts of
kindness in prison to persuade Amelia. Feeling reluctant yet again, Amelia found herself unable to
turn down the invitation. Consequently, she nodded and agreed. “All right, I’lle. But I’m leaving
earlyter. As you know, I am currently pregnant and tend to experience fatigue more readily.”
“Certainly!” Alicia said with a smile.
They came to the private room. Amelia looked around the room and noticed four men in a private
room. There were also seven sets of tes and cutlery on the table. Three sets were not used but
were already on the table.
“If she and Alicia have two, who will use the other set of tes and cutlery?” Amelia wondered.
Inexplicably, Amelia had a bad feeling because the four men were staring at her, making her feel
trapped and ufortable.
Amelia suspected it was a deliberate n rather than a random coincidence today. She calmly sat
down, keeping her thoughts to herself.
“Everyone, this is my friend Amelia Haab.” Alicia also introduced them, saying, “Amelia, this is Ryan
Golding, my partner. The others are Anthony Waskey, Casper Mabins, and Jasper Yustone.”
Ryan smiled at Amelia and said, “Alicia has been talking about you quite a lottely. She mentioned
that you and she have been friends for many years. Since we are all gathered here for this meal
today, why don’t we take this opportunity to get to know each other? I heard you’re expecting a
baby, so I ordered a pregnancy-friendly dessert for you. You should give it a try.”
Without a doubt, a dessert was presented right in front of Amelia.
“Thank you,” Amelia said.
“My pleasure.” Ryan’s smile was deliberately ttering.
“Ms. Haab, congrattions on your pregnancy! Why not invite the father

of your baby to join you for a casual meal? It will make the asion
more enjoyable and also to celebrate the uing arrival of your baby!” Anthony said.
Amelia felt her heart sink as she realized the intentions behind it all. They wanted to meet Warren.
That exined the presence of this untouched te and cutlery!
At that moment, Alicia echoed, “That’s right, Amelia. Why not invite the father of your child to have a
casual meal together?”
Amelia stood up and rejected, “I don’t think so. Alicia, I’m feeling a little unwell. I’m going back first.”
Alicia hastily grabbed Amelia and asked, “Amelia! Are you really leaving without eating? Perhaps
you’re feeling hungry, which could be why you’re not feeling well. Why not indulge in the dessert
first?”
“No, I really want to go back,” Amelia said.
Jasper immediately felt upset and sneered, “Are you truly ufortable? If you are, we will take
you to the hospital right away. If you’re just pretending, it means you don’t respect us and don’t want
to eat with us. Alicia, it looks like your friend is not being respectful.”
Jasper not only possessed thergest business among these individuals but was also known for his
arrogance.
Ryan had been ttering Jaspertely. When Alicia said that Amelia might be pregnant with
Warren’s baby, Ryan quickly told Jasper that Alicia was a friend of Warren’s lover, which interested
Jasper. As a result, they decided to have fondue together today.

But unexpectedly, Amelia did not show respect to Jasper, which
displeased him. He felt that even Warren’s partner had a low opinion of
him.
“You are just Warren’s mistress. Being pregnant doesn’t necessarily mean you’re sessful. Do
you know the status of the York family? You have been in prison before, and being pregnant with
Warren’s child doesn’t mean you can marry into the York family. You should be aware of your
circumstances. If you assist the York family in expanding their business, Warren might still hold you
in high regard. We’re giving you a chance to prove your value. You should know your position!”
Jasper said in an unkind tone.
Amelia replied indifferently, “You don’t need to give me a chance, Mr. Yustone. And I don’t need to
prove my worth either. Does it matter to you if I’ve been in jail or who the father of my child is?”
