The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1173

She wondered, ‘Why is he here?

And he’s looking through… Is that my phone?’

Amelia was stunned for a moment before she stepped forward to get her phone back.

However, Warren deftly avoided her grab.

“It’s a violation of privacy if you look at someone else’s phone like this,” Amelia said.

Warren looked at the phone and asked, “Why didn’t you delete this photo?”

The photo displayed on the screen was the picture of Warren and Aiden in the ward.

In the photo, Warren was dressed in a hospital gown. Although his face was pale, he smiled gently at

Aiden, who was staring at the saline drip attached to Warren. Worry was evident in the boy’s eyes.

When she had seen this scene in the ward, she couldn’t help but take a photo. After that, it remained

saved on her phone.

Perhaps it was because there were too few scenes that portrayed such warmth between the father and

son, so this photo was particularly precious.

“That’s because I think Aiden’s expression in this is quite good, so… I didn’t delete it.” Amelia found a

random excuse. In truth, she was actually

reluctant to delete it.

Since she broke up with him in the hospital, she had been staring at this photo of him from time to time.



It was not until then that she realized she didn’t have any photos of him at all.

Even if she wanted to see more photos of him, there was none.

“Really?” Warren said, “I thought you would say that it was because you regretted it and found out that

you still had feelings for me, so you were reluctant to delete this photo and would even often stare at it.

After all, if you had said so, it would have impressed me even more and made me

possibly agree to your request, right?”

Amelia was stunned and suddenly felt a mess under his gaze.

“Warren, what exactly do you want to say?” she asked.

He looked at her with complicated emotions shining in his eyes. “Do you regret it now?”

“What?” She was surprised.

“I asked whether you regret everything now-about what you said to me in the hospital that day and how

you stubbornly chose to abandon me. If you hadn’t said those words or done those things at that time,

then I would not have chosen hypnosis to forget this relationship. In that case, I would naturally help

you with whatever you need now. You wouldn’t have needed to beg for it at all.”

As he spoke, he stood up and approached her. “Amelia, do you regret it?”

His questioning made her nervous.



Did she regret it? At that time, it was more accurate to say that she had made that choice because she

thought it was the best option, not because/ of Lydia’s request.

She hadn’t wanted him to give up everything in order to love her. Her only hope was that he could live

well and safely.

“What’s the point of asking these questions now?” she replied.

He smiled coldly. “What if I insist on getting an answer?”

He approached her, every step he took adding more to the pressure she felt.

Amelia stepped back subconsciously until she reached the wall and no longer had any escape.

His hands pressed against the walls on both sides of her body, almost as if he had imprisoned her in

his arms.

He bent down slightly, and his breath puffed on her face. His cold voice sounded in her ear again. “Do

you regret it?”

Her body trembled, and her long eyelashes covered the eyes that had seen too much. After a while,

she raised her eyes and looked at him. “At that time, I just made the best choice for you and me.”

“The best choice?” He looked at her mockingly. “What gives you the right to make that decision for me?

Have you ever asked me? You made a self-righteous decision without even gaining my opinion!”

“I…” She choked on her words.



He raised his finger and stroked her lips. “You know what? If you had said that you regretted it just now,

maybe I really would have agreed to your request and let Alicia go. Unfortunately, you missed the

opportunity.”

She met his eyes and said, “Even if I said that, you wouldn’t have agreed to my request.” Because he

was no longer the man who loved her, he would never agree so easily because of one sentence from

her.

After so many years, she naturally understood how cruel a man like him could be to someone he didn’t

love.

That was without taking into account that she had hurt him.

“So who are you going to ask for help if I don’t? Lucas?” There was a trace of jealousy in his voice that

he didn’t notice.

Amelia looked at Warren in surprise. “Why are you suddenly bringing up

Lucas?”

“Why can’t I mention him? Is he important to you?” he retorted. “Amelia, Amelia, you really are

something, huh? One moment, you’re desper ly pleading with me, and in the next instant, you’re

walking around w Lucas.”

“Lucas has nothing to do with whatever happened between us. I just bumped into him on the street,”

she said anxiously.

“You bumped into him?” His disbelief was evident on his face. “Then y two are really destined to meet

each other, being able to bump into each other in Lofbury. Tell me, what are the odds of two people

from Strico meeting in another city?”



His words had annoyance and exasperation coursing through Amelia. She thought, “It seems he won’t

listen to me no matter how I explain.”

“It really was just a coincidence, Warren. It’s my fault for rejecting you back then, and I’m sorry, okay?

Don’t get mad at Lucas,” she uttered.

However, her explanation simply grated on his nerves, especially considering how anxious she seemed

for Lucas. The frown on his face deepened as he asked, “Why are you so protective of Lucas? Are you

afraid that I will hurt him or vent my anger on him?”

“I just don’t want innocent people to be involved!” she replied.

“Innocent?” He snorted. “So you’re telling me you don’t love Lucas and have no feelings for him?”

She took a deep breath and said, “If you want to talk semantics, then yes, I do have feelings for him,

but it’s the kind between friends. I’ve never loved Lucas!”

“So who do you love?” he demanded in a low voice.

She pursed her lips and looked away from his face.

How was she supposed to say that the man she loved was him?

From the very beginning, he was her first love and the man she had chosen to be “the one.”



Unfortunately, she encountered too many things later on. She thought she didn’t love him anymore and

had completely put him down, but as it turned out, this love had simply remained hidden deep in her

heart.

But now, it seemed to be deepening.
