Chapter 589
It was as if he wanted to prove that the woman in front of him had no influence on him.
Amelia only felt bitterness in her mouth. Even though she had already let go of that man and had no more feelings
for him, she still couldn’t stop the bitterness when she heard him say that.
“If… I said that I didn’t push Irene down the stairs and that she did it by herself on purpose, will you… still not
believe it?”
When Amelia said that, her tone was so humble that it sounded almost like begging.
She was begging that man to trust her and not define her as a criminal. She didn’t care about whether or not she
was a criminal herself. After all, the time she spent in prison could not be reversed.
However, she didn’t want her identity as a criminal to bring any harm to Aiden.
Warren seemed to have heard a joke. “Do you want me to believe you? Amelia, don’t you think it’s ridiculous to say
this now? Irene has lost her baby and has even become infertile for life because of you. What right do you have to
raise my son?”
“I haven’t done any of this!” Amelia looked straight at him. “What you see with your eyes may not be true, and
sometimes it can also be fake.”
“So, are you saying that what I saw that day was all fake and that my testimony was also false?” he said coldly.
She pursed her lips tightly. Back then, she had explained to him over and over again, but he didn’t believe her, nor
did he show any pity for her.
And now, if she came to tell him those things again, she would just humiliate herself as he still wouldn’t believe her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrom the beginning, she had been labeled as the enemy’s daughter. He wouldn’t believe in her, anyway.
“I have never harmed anyone, let alone a human life. How could the blame be pinned on me simply because Irene
deliberately fell down the stairs? Warren, I pleaded guilty back then not because of my confession but because of
your testimony!” she said.
Amelia had never hurt anyone but was constantly hurt by others, including Warren, Irene, and the prejudices of the
world.
She thought she had finally survived the toughest time, but now he continued to hurt her.
Warren’s expression suddenly changed as her accusation somehow made him feel a stinging pain.
He put down the coffee cup in his hand, then slowly stood up and walked over to Amelia. “Since you said that you
haven’t committed any crime and that what we see with our eyes may not be true, then if you destroy your eyes
today, I will believe what I’ve seen at that time might not be true.”
Amelia widened her eyes and stared at Warren in disbelief. After a moment, her disbelief turned into self-mockery
and realization.
She thought, “Yeah, what’s the surprise for? Hasn’t he sent me to jail with his own hands back then? So what if he
wants a pair of eyes from me now?”
“Does it mean that… if I destroy my eyes, you will believe I never harmed Irene back then, and then you will stop
fighting for Aiden’s custody with me and let him stay with me?” Amelia asked in a murmur.
Warren only felt that the stinging feeling seemed to have gotten more intense. “Yes, I will believe you and won’t
fight with
for Aiden’s custody, so will you destroy your eyes?” he said sarcastically.
you
He thought, “This woman is just putting on an act in front of me. In that case, I shall see how far she could go!”
Amelia lowered her head and closed her eyes gently. She remembered he had once said that what he loved most
were her.
eyes.
He had said her eyes were vivid and curved like a crescent moon. When she looked at people with a smile, it would
make people happy and brighten up their mood.
He had also said that her eyes were the most captivating ones he had ever seen. When they were intimate, he had
always liked to caress her eyes with his fingers.
Once, she had been proud of her eyes simply because he liked them.
But now, he wanted her to destroy her eyes with her own hands, which was ironic.
Amelia opened her eyes again and looked up at Warren.
At that moment, he stood before her, and the distance between them was very close. She raised her head just like
she used to when they were intimate back then, but now he would no longer hold her waist, and she also wouldn’t
wrap her arms around his neck and act coquettishly.
Amelia quietly stared at the man before her, whom she had loved and hated, and in the end, all her emotions had
returned to calmness. He was indeed good-looking and attractive. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have fallen for him back
then.
Now might be the last time she looked at him with her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt somewhat regretful. She should have taken a few more glances at Aiden when she came out
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom home that evening. Nevertheless, as long as Aiden was still by her side, it would be better than anything.
“I will,” Amelia said softly.
Warren was stunned for a moment. Then, he saw Amelia raise her right hand, straighten her index finger and ring
finger, and thrust them straight toward her own eyes.
In an instant, he seemed to suddenly realize what she meant by those words just now.
At that moment, his heartbeat almost stopped. Almost instinctively, he quickly grabbed her right hand.
Her right hand was held firmly by him. He then even seized her left hand with his other hand lest she use it to
destroy her eyes again.
Amelia’s eyes were still there. At that moment, Warren felt relieved that his reaction was fast and timely enough.
If it had been a second or two later, her fingers would have been thrust into her eyes!
“Are you crazy?” Warren almost roared at Amelia.
Compared with his rage at that moment, her expression looked calm. “I’m only doing what you just said, Mr. York. If
my eyes are destroyed, then you will let Aiden stay with me, right?”
Warren glared at Amelia. Last time, she had stabbed her abdomen with a broken wine glass just because she didn’t
want to give birth to his child. This time, she was even more ruthless and intended to destroy her eyes for the sake
of her child’s custody.
“Then, let me tell you. Even if you destroy your eyes, I will not believe you, let alone give Aiden to you!” Warren
said. fiercely, and his voice sounded angry.
Amelia’s expression was still calm as if she had expected that.
In fact, she just wanted to bet that Warren would really do what he said after her eyes were destroyed.
