    Chapter 1045


    After practicing, even the trainer who taught Aiden could not help but admire his tough temperament


    which was rarely seen in other ordinary children.


    At this moment, Warren stood not far away and looked at Aiden practicing. Even though Aiden was


    beaten to the ground consistently, he would soon stand up and continue to persist.


    His eyes, which were simr to Amelia’s, showed a rare kind of strength and determination.


    Warren naturally knew that Aiden wanted to be stronger. Thetter’s feeling of wanting to be


    strong was so intense that it looked as if the child had suffered all the hardships on earth at such a


    young age.


    Then, Warren felt bitter in his heart. If he had not been blinded by hatred and believed Irene, he would


    have a happy and blissful family now.


    After Aiden finished his practice, Warren stepped forward and said, “I’ll take you hometer.”


    “No need. When I came here, I saw a bus nearby. I can take the bus back!” Aiden refused. Then, he


    added, “I’lle here by myself and go back by myself in the future!”


    “Do you have to reject me like this? I’m your father!” Warren said.


    “But I haven’t had a father since I was born!” Aiden responded. After that, he walked directly into the


    dressing room.


    His short sentence seemed to rub salt in Warren’s wounds, which made thetter feel even more in


    pain.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    When Aiden took the bus, Warren asked his subordinate to follow Aiden and escort him home safely.


    “Aiden has arrived home safely, Mr. York, Warren’s subordinate called Warren to inform thetter about


    it.


    “From now on, you will follow him to protect him every time he goes to practice or when hees back


    home,” Warren ordered before putting away his phone. Then, he looked at theputer screen in front


    of him. which showed Lucas’ information on it.


    Not only did it have information about Lucas and Nadine, but also every information about Lucas’ ex-


    wife.


    Warren looked at the information with a grim gaze. Moreover, there was a cold expression on his face.


    On the weekend, Lucas took Nadine to Amelia’s concession stand. As soon as Nadine arrived, she


    stayed by Aiden’s side and insisted that he y with her.


    Thus, Amelia asked Aiden to take Nadine to a small park nearby for a while, and Matilda went there as


    well to apany the two children.


    Meanwhile, Lucas did not follow them. Instead, he stayed at the concession stand and helped Amelia


    repair a shelf in there.


    Originally, Amelia nned to find a handyman to repair it. However, once Lucas knew about it, he said


    that he could fix it and even brought his tools on purpose.


    They carried the shelf that needed to be repaired outside the concession stand. Lucas began to fix it


    with his tools, while Amelia helped him from time to time by passing the tools and water.


    When there was sweat appearing on Lucas’ forehead as he repaired the shelf, Amelia handed him a


    tissue. “Wipe off the sweat.”


    “Thank you.” Lucas took the tissue, wiped his sweat, and then took off his coat.


    Amelia naturally took the coat and said, “I should be the one who thanked you. Otherwise, I’ll have to


    find the handyman myself.”


    “Nowadays, the moment a handyman arrives at a house, he will charge 20 dors just to get there.


    Why do you spend money on that kind of service that is not worth it? If there’s anything that needs to


    be repaired in the future, tell me. If I can repair it, I’ll do it for you. You can also save some money,”


    Lucas said.


    “How can I ept your offer?” Amelia said hurriedly.


    “We have been friends for so many years. Why shouldn’t you ept it?” Then, Lucas added, “Besides,


    Nadine likes Aiden very much. I’m afraid I have to bring her here often in the future.”


    “Nadine is very likable. My family likes her very much as well,” Amelia said. After that, she continued, “If


    you can’t take care of her because you’re busy with your businesster on, you can also let Nadine


    stay here. I’ll help you keep an eye on her. Nadine is very cute. I’ll just think of it as me taking care of


    my own daughter.”


    In the past, she also wanted to have a lovely daughter. However, she would never have one now.


    Hearing this, Lucas looked at Amelia-in a daze.


    Amelia seemed to realize something and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything else. I just


    think that Nadine is very cute. After all, I have no daughter, so… When I look at Nadine, I feel…”


    The more Amelia found herself exining, the more confusing it became. In the end, she could only


    say, “Anyway, I really… wasn’t hinting at anything. Don’t overthink it.”


    Lucas smiled and tried to ease her embarrassment. “I know you just treat me as a friend. I won’t


    overthink it, but it’s already hard for a woman like you to take care of a child. If you need my help, just


    tell me.”


    Lucas smiled frankly. The smileplemented his ordinary-looking face, which made people feel


    comfortable.


    Amelia looked at him. Men like Lucas were really good, and sometimes, she would even think that if


    the person she had fallen in love with was Lucas, she could live a peaceful and heartwarming life.


    At this moment, a car suddenly came and stopped at the entrance of the concession stand. Then, a


    woman got out of the car and rushed toward Amelia. Before everyone could react, she raised her hand


    suddenly and pped Amelia on the cheek.


    Amelia suddenly felt hot on her face.


    “Shame on you! Why do you try to seduce another woman’s man?” The woman shouted and it made


    some neighbors around them to look at her.


    Lucas-hurriedly dropped the tool in his hand and pulled the woman away. “What are you doing? Are


    you crazy?”


    “I asked you out but you told me that you didn’t have time, Lucas. But now it turns out that you came


    here to please this woman?” After that, the woman added with hatred, “What’s the good about this


    temptress? If you want to find another woman, at least find someone younger and more beautiful than


    me!”


    “Shut up, Xaviera! I just don’t want to see you. It has nothing to do with Amelia. She’s my friend. I won’t


    allow you to say things like that about her!” Lucas said angrily.


    “Not allowing me? What’s the matter? You’re already going to find a stepmother for Nadine, but why


    don’t you let me talk bad things about her? Is it because of this woman? That’s the reason why you


    divorced me so easily!” Xaviera Yarnell said aggressively. Then, she added, “I’m telling you, Lucas, if


    you want to get rid of me, just give me your stall in the market. Otherwise, no one is going to have it


    easy!”


    Lucas’ expression suddenly turned grim. “Back then, ording to the divorce agreement, I gave the


    house and most of my savings to you when we were discussing the terms of the divorce. All this while,


    I haven’t even asked you to give me money for child support. Ask yourself who is at fault here,


    Xaviera!”


    A trace of guilt shed across Xaviera’s eyes. Nevertheless, when she watched Lucas defend Amelia,


    she immediately thought she was in the right. “Will you give it to me or not? If not, I will expose the


    scandal between you and this woman. I heard that this woman’s child is attending elementary school


    around here. Let’s see who will be humiliated then.”
