Amelia showed herself a wry smile, as Lawrence choked her again.
Amelia closed her eyes wearily, and then opened slowly. She really didn’t have the strength to deal with Lawrence. She even did not want to have a meal now. She just wanted to take Leigh back and have a good sleep on the bed.
“Answer me!” Lawrence’s eyes were scarlet like a flesh-eating beast, as if he would swallow Amelia alive if she could not give him a satisfactory answer.
“Amelia, the bastard is the son of Jimmy or Arthur?”
Lawrence’s hands trembled because of great anger. The popped veins on his hands made him look even more violent and brutal.
Lawrence believed that Leigh was the son of Jimmy before. But tonight he heard Arthur say Leigh was Arthur’s son. Thinking of the similar face of Leigh and Arthur, Lawrence was not sure who the father of Leigh was.
Thinking that Amelia not only hooked up with Jimmy, but also Arthur and even other men four years ago, Lawrence was so angry that he almost wanted to tear Amelia into pieces.
Jimmy? Arthur? Amelia felt it was so ironic and ridiculous for Lawrence to ask such a question. He believed that Leigh was the son of others’ but not his.
How ridiculous it was!
“Mr Dominic, since you don’t even know Leigh, it has nothing to do with you who his father is!”
The indifference of Amelia annoyed Lawrence so much.
He clenched his hands, “Amelia, the bastard looks Arthur. Is he the son of Arthur?”
It really hurt when Amelia was choked by Lawrence for the first time. But she was numb now because of the frequent pain.
Even though she was strangled by him so hard and she could not even make a sound, Amelia did not feel the pain.
Amelia was so tired that she didn’t even bother to move. In fact, she did not know why Leigh looked so much like Arthur. Maybe it was fate or it was just a coincidence.
But Amelia didn’t bother to talk to Lawrence. She just rolled her eyes lazily and said, “Mr Dominic, it’s none of your business!”
“We are divorced, and you have nothing to do with me!”
“Mr Dominic, you always told me not to humiliate myself before, but now I want to say the same words to you!”
“When I love you, you are everything to me; when I don’t love you, you are nothing to me!”
“Lawrence, I don’t love you anymore. So, you are nothing to me now!”
“Amelia, don’t you dare to say it again!”
Amelia opened her mouth not to suffocate herself. She gasped and wore the same self-deprecating expression as before.
At this time, even if she was strangled by Lawrence and was embarrassed, she showed a kind of weary alienation and unbreakable nobility.
“Mr Dominic, I said, you are nothing to me! So, don’t pester me anymore!”
“Let’s say goodbye to each other and lead our own life. Don’t ask for an insult anymore!”
Bang! Lawrence suddenly kicked the door open. Then a man put up his pants trembling and dared not raise his head, and ran downstairs.
Seeing that there was no one in the restroom, Lawrence dragged Amelia into it by force.
