    “Thank you for today. Aiden had a good time.” Amelia could tell that her son was in a good mood that


    day.


    “This is what a father should do. You don’t need to thank me. I owe Aiden too much.” Warren hesitated


    for a moment and continued, “Amelia, what you saw in my office the other day—’


    His voice wasced with some kind of anxiety when he spoke.


    Nheless, before he could finish his words, Amelia interrupted him, “You really don’t have to exin


    it to me!”


    “But aren’t you my wife?” Warren stared at her with fervent eyes. Behind his gaze was a touch of


    imploration. “Even if in the future… we’re doomed to face a divorce, but at least now you’re still my


    wife, Amelia, so shouldn’t you learn a little about it?”


    His words and his look impeded her drive toe up with a retort on the spot.


    “That day, Alicia came to look for me and told me about what it was like when you were in jail. I… I was


    lost in thought for a moment and didn’t notice that she was approaching me. When I came around, you


    had already shown up at the office,” Warren cooed.


    Amelia might not have the slightest desire to listen to him, but persisted in exining everything to her.


    Letting his wife get 1 was thest thing he wished for.


    That made Amelia’s eyshes flutter slightly. Little did she imag oto say those things to Warren that


    day.


    ”Sorry, Amelia… I’m sorry… Warren’s voice got all choked up with so and his eyes turned slightly red. “I


    didn’t know that you suffered so m baback then. I deserve to be punished for making too many


    mistakes!”


    As a man like that, he figured that he must have no right to ask her to be with him.


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    It’It’s all in the past.” Amelia sounded indifferent. “I no longer want to talk babout my history in jail. It’s


    pointless.”


    A hititter simile marrèd Warren’s mien. He thought that Amelia must not vever see the need to nurse


    any grievance toward himself.


    Truth be told, Amelia did not love nor hate him. Maybe by the time they got divorced, she would only


    regard him as a stranger, nothing more.


    Then came Warren’s speech on a solemn note. “Anyway, if you need any help, you can alwayse


    to me at any time. I… I’ll do anything for you.”


    Amelia shook her head in return. “You’ve done more than enough for me!”


    At that juncture, a vehicle drove over and stopped at the door of the shop. That was Lucas.


    The minute Lucas caught sight of Warren, he was also stunned. Immediately afterward, he shed a


    smile and greeted thetter. “Good day, Mr. York.”


    Warren acknowledged that rather briefly.


    Amelia, in turn, received Lucas and served him a drink.


    Lucas took a couple of sips of the drink before moving the goods from the car into the store while


    Amelia kept herself busy inventorying the items.


    The two of them whispered among themselves about the merchandise, which made Warren feel that


    he was an outsider all of a sudden.


    He had always felt out of ce in Amelia’s world. Despite the fact that he had been trying to get close


    to her all those years, the woman turned him away coldly.


    Even so, when she stood side by side with Lucas, she appeared rxed, talking and grinning casually.


    Step by step, Warren exited the concession stand.


    Perhaps he really should not have expected more, and perhaps he o to have epted reality.


    He had no ce at all in thedy’s heart.


    Just as she had mentioned, his exnation was never required.


    Warren returned to his car and revved up the engine. Just like that, he drove away slowly from the


    concession stand.


    Thest thing he saw in the rearview mirror was Amelia smiling at Lucas.


    That smile of hers was, sadly, not shown to him for ages.


    Warren withdrew his gaze, telling himself again deep down that maybe it would be in her best interest if


    he stopped bothering her.


    Afterpleting the inventory of the goods brought over by Lucas, Amelia looked up, only to find no


    trace of Warren at the concession stand.


    Out of the blue, a sort of disappointment surged in her heart that even she could not put a finger on her


    own feelings.


    She wondered if Warren had quietly departed without a word.


    “Eh? Did Mr. York just leave?” Lucas’ surprised voice rang out,


    “Mm. He’s gone,” said Amelia.


    “Did you and Mr. York reconcile and get back together already?” probed Lucas.


    Amelia was surprised, thus denying, “No. We’re just like before. We’re not really an item.”


    Embarrassed, Lucas scratched his own head. “I thought you guys got back together again. Just now


    you looked around searching for him like you were afraid that you’d lose him. I thought you two had


    something for each other…”


    Lucas’ unintentionalment only served to sweep up waves of emotions within Amelia.


    She was not convinced that she was afraid of losing Warren a minu In her book, that was nearly


    impossible.


    Be that as it might, the remnants of dejection inside her seemed to be reminding her of something.


    She began to waver, pondering whether she still had feelings for Warren, or she was actually unaware


    of her feelings for that man.


    At night, Jonathan came out of the bathroom and glimpsed Rosalie reading a book aboutw but being


    in a daze.


    He approached thedy, reaching out and wrapping his arms around her. He put his lips close to her


    and whispered in her ear, “What’s on your mind?”


    She suddenly regainedposure, blushing slightly.


    They had already been married for some time, yet his intimate act out of nowhere could still make her


    heart flutter unwittingly.


    “I was thinking about the things between Amelia and Warren,” muttered Rosalie. “When Amelia and


    Warren showed up today, they really felt like an ordinary family of three. Aiden was all smiles, and


    Amelia also didn’t seem to repulse Warren that much like before.”


    “So?”


    “So, I thought maybe Amelia and Warren would really be in bliss once they got together. I didn’t like


    Warren at first. He did too many wrong things to Ameliast time, after all, but over the years, he has


    been standing by her and never had any fling with any other women. I think he’s truly in love with


    Amelia,” said Rosalie.


    If one were not head over heels for another, they could have stood by their loved one for so many


    years.


    “He must love Amelia far more deeply than most people can ever imagine,” uttered Jonathan. “But the


    thing is, Amelia is frostier than most/ people. Should she be like an average woman, she would’ve long


    forgiven the man.”


    Rosalie replied, “That’s because Amelia had been hurt too deeply before. She acts so ice-cold only


    because she’s heartbroken and has giv hope. So, even if she forgives Warren, she won’t get back to up


    all
