Chapter 1414
Amelia said to Aiden, putting her six-month-old daughter on the soft sofa, “Aiden. Play with your sister. Mommy has something to talk about with Daddy alone.”
Aiden took his sister’s toy and played with her.
Amelia looked at Warren and said, “Let’s find another place and talk about it.”
Warren glanced at her, reached out to take Amelia’s hand, and walked toward the study on the second floor.
Amelia wanted to withdraw her hand subconsciously but Warren whispered, “There are servants in this villa. If you don’t want them to think we’re not close, you’d better not move.”
Amelia froze, gritted her teeth, and decided not to withdraw her hand. She followed Warren all the way to the study.
After entering the study and closing the door, Warren quickly loosened his grip and said to Amelia, “Well, what do you want to tell me?”
“I just want to tell you that I will be in the concession stand every day. After Aiden finishes school in the afternoon, I will take him back here. will try my best to take part in any events if you need but you better tel me in advance,” said Amelia.
Warren answered, “Okay, no problem!”
Amelia said, “Besides, I want the servants in the villa to be replaced by part-time helpers. They can help clean up the house when my kids and I are away in the daytime.”
Warren said, “But other people will find it very strange.”
Amelia said, “If there are servants all around here, we need to act like a happy couple and be concentrated all the time. Any slight mistake can be noticed and they will become suspicious.”
Warren stared at Amelia and said, “Didn’t you say that you loved me? You don’t have to stay concentrated on acting if you really love someone. You just need to show your love for me naturally. As for whether I will stay focused, it is my own business.”
Amelia smiled bitterly, “But I doubt if can always show my love for you.

It is too tiring for me.”
Warren’s face darkened slightly He approached Amelia and said, “What? Are you trying to tell me that now you don’t love me anymore?”
It was not that Amelia didn’t love him. It was just that Amelia’s love had been hidden by her somewhere deep in her heart. She didn’t want to uncover it anymore. She was afraid that she would be more hurt if she did so.
Taking a deep breath, Amelia said, “When I signed the divorce
agreement, I had gotten over everything between us. Warren, I am over it. So, for me, to always show my love for you is hard. I am afraid I can’t do it and I will make mistakes.”
When she said that she had gotten over it, Warren felt like his heart was stabbed by something sharp.
Warren thought, “She’s over it! But I am not yet. How ridiculous!”
Warren kept approaching Amelia. “Are you really over it?”
Amelia felt oppressed immediately and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
But every time Amelia took a step back, Warren took a step further un she was pressed against the wall.
Amelia managed to say calmly to Warren, “Yes. I am.”
The next thing Warren did was shocking.
He suddenly pressed his lips against Amelia’s hard. She was stunned. It took her a while to realize what was happening. Then she began to struggle.
Amelia pushed Warren away with all her strength. “Warren, what are you doing?”
Warren said, “Amelia, aren’t you supposed to act like we’re a happy couple? It’s just a kiss. How can you make people believe that we are really in love?”
Amelia said, “I will keep acting in front of other people. But when we’re alone, I don’t think it’s really necessary.” She managed to get over it with great effort. She didn’t want such intimate actions to bring those feelings back to her,

Warren said coldly, staring at Amelia, “Unnecessary?!”
Amelia looked up at Warren. “Isn’t it?”
They stared at each other and there was long silence.
Amelia clamped her dry lips together and changed the subject. “By the way, I can sleep in the same room as Aiden and Zinnia. Zinnia can sleep
in a crib.”
Warren said, “I’ve arranged a room for Aiden. You will sleep in my room and I will ask someone to move the crib into our bedroom later.”
Amelia was stunned. “What?”
Warren said, “Is it a strange thing if a couple in love sleeps in the same room? There are so many servants watching us in this villa.”
Amelia felt suffocated. But Warren’s words made sense. If they lived in separate rooms, it might arouse suspicion.
Amelia said, while walking out of the study, “I’m going to find the kids.”
Warren was left alone in the study.
Warren raised his hand and gently touched his lips. He thought he could still feel the warmth of her lips.
The so-called acting of a happy couple was just an expedient.
