Chapter 404
The next moment, the cake in her hand had fallen to the floor.
Not far from the store entrance, a tall figure stepped out of the car and approached her step by step under the moonlight.
With neatly combed hair, he was wearing a well-tailored suit: His cold countenance exuded a sense of abstinence, while his deep and narrow eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts.
When one was stared at by those eyes, one could not help but be scared. It was as if they were stared at by a beast.
And at this moment, those eyes were staring at her!
Amelia felt that the blood vessels in her body seemed to have frozen at once. The atmosphere was so cold that she felt very suffocated!
“Warren! He finally appears in front of me,” she sighed internally…
Perhaps when she escaped from the mall that day, she had vaguely predicted that she might not be able to escape from him this time. He would find her eventually.
Nonetheless, she didn’t expect that he would manage to find her so fast!
It was so fast that she could hardly catch her breath.
“Long time no see.” A cold voice sounded in the night..
Her body couldn’t help trembling. It had been a long time. Indeed, except for the time when she caught a glimpse of his profile in the shopping mall, it had been ages since they last saw each other.
“When was the last time when we really faced each other? Oh, yes. It’s the time when he appeared at the court as a witness. It was at that time when he testified against my so-called crime,” Amelia thought.
He pushed her into the depths of hell with his testimony.
He stated, “Amelia, you should pay for your sins!”
“Atonement? What should I atone for? I was not even guilty of any charges! Anyhow, it didn’t matter how much I tried to prove my innocence. I just have to accept any charges that he imposed on me. If I had really sinned, my biggest sin would be falling in love with him!” Amelia exclaimed inwardly.
Now, Warren, who had sent her to prison, greeted her. Subconsciously, she just wanted to get away from him.
She intended to avoid him and never wanted to see him again!
Amelia abruptly raised her feet and tried to walk past Warren.
She only took two steps and her arm was already grabbed tightly. “I haven’t ordered you to leave yet. Where do you think you’re going?”
Amelia stiffened and turned to meet Warren’s cold eyes. “Mr. York, I don’t think you have the right to decide whether I can leave or not.”
He stared at her. The air around him seemed to be filled with a sense of tension. “You have become eloquent after several years I haven’t seen you. It seems that you’ve enjoyed your time in prison.”
Such an indifferent sentence was like a sharp weapon to Amelia. It stabbed brutally into the depths of her heart.
‘Enjoyed my time? Does he even know how hard it was to be able to have a meal in prison?
Does he know the humiliating things I did to get other inmates’ leftovers when I was pregnant with Aiden? I was so scared that the baby in my stomach would not get enough nutrients if I didn’t eat enough.
Does he know that after I gave birth to Aiden, I was so starved that I couldn’t produce milk at all? I could only feed him with the simplest vegetable soup.
He didn’t know a thing about my suffering!
At that time, while I was struggling with hunger, he was holding his beloved woman, eating delicious food, she screamed internally.
“Can you let go of your hand?” Amelia asked. “I think our conversation ended when we were in the court. I went to the prison as you intended. What else can I do for you, Mr. York?”
Warren squinted his eyes unconsciously. The woman in front of him was not as gentle as she used to be. It was as though she had thorns all over her body, making it difficult for people to get closer.
Moreover, the word “let go” from Amelia sounded even harsher to him.
“Amelia, do you really think that by going to prison for a few years, you’ve cleared all your debts?” Warren asked coldly. His slender fingers pinched her arm harder. “If you really think so, then you are too naive!”
Amelia burst into laughter. “I can’t believe you’re actually talking about my naivety! You’ve completely destroyed/my naivety so long ago!” she mocked him in her heart.
“Warren, I’ve never owed you anything.” She raised her chin and didn’t avoid his eyes this time.
Even if she was insignificant and would lose her dignity again, there was one thing she was sure about. She didn’t owe him anything!
“You don’t owe me anything?” He laughed angrily. “You owe me a life! If it weren’t for you, how could Irene lose the baby?”
However, she laughed even louder and burst into tears!
Didn’t she just go to prison for this? Warren testified that it was she who pushed Irene down the stairs, resulting in the loss of her baby.
She was sentenced to three years and six months in prison for intentional assault.
After three and a half years in prison, he was still saying that she owed him a life!
“So, Mr. York, how many years would you like me to stay in prison? Five years? Ten years? Or 20 years? Or life
