Chapter 1113
Amelia could not refuse, so she mentioned the address. After half an hour, Alicia drove to Amelia’s stall.
But when she saw Amelia’s concession stand, a trace of surprise appeared on her face.
“D-Did you open this stall? Do you live here?” she asked.
“Yes, it has been years. Aiden is studying in the elementary school nearby. It’s more convenient for me to take care of my child like this,” Amelia replied.
Matilda knew that Alicia was her daughter’s former cellmate. When Amelia was in prison, Alicia had helped her before, so Matilda was very warm toward Alicia.
She poured coffee, cut fruits, and brought a lot of snacks to serve her.
“Ms. Taffron, why don’t you stay for dinner? What do you like to eat? I’ll go to the market and buy it,” said Matilda.
“No need. I’m leaving shortly. It was hard for me to bump into Amelia, so I thought of spending more time with her,” Alicia said. In truth, she disdained such a shabby place.
It was also difficult for Alicia to consume the coffee and snacks prepared by Matilda. In her opinion, they were all cheap stuff.
She had come all the way to find out about the luxury car that Amelia had taken the day before.
When Matilda got busy, Alicia pretended to ask Amelia casually, “By the way, when I left the hospital yesterday, I saw you getting in the car and being picked up by someone. Initially, I wanted to give you a ride. Who came to pick you up?”
“It’s just a driver of someone I know. I’m pregnant and didn’t want to take the bus, so I asked the driver to pick me up once in a while,” Amelia said. Yesterday in the car, she told the driver to tell Warren that she would take a taxi in the future for her prenatal examinations. As such, there was no need for anyone to pick her up.
“Well, who sent the driver to pick you up?” Alicia asked curiously. “The car doesn’t look like it’s from an ordinary family. That person should be

quite rich.”
The day before, she checked online and found that the car she saw cost over 600 thousand dollars!
Amelia hesitated. She did not want to mention Warren, so she could only say vaguely, “Maybe…”
“Is he the father of your baby?” Alicia asked. Looking at Amelia’s expression, she knew that she was right.
Alicia was pretty sure that Amelia, like herself, was the mistress of a wealthy man.
Then again, it seemed that Amelia was worse off than her. Alicia lived in a high-end condominium, and the rich businessman gave her 20,000 dollars in allowance every month.
Amelia, on the other hand, only had a small concession stand.
However, Alicia thought that she was younger and more beautiful than Amelia. Naturally, she was treated better than Amelia. Outwardly, she maintained a smile on her face. “Why don’t we arrange for our partners and us to have a meal together? Maybe they can work together!”
In Alicia’s mind, a man with that sort of car was naturally worth some money. If she could connect the man with her lover, her lover would definitely treat her better.
But Amelia refused, “No, I have nothing to do with that man. Besides, I don’t like to socialize.”
Alicia’s face darkened immediately. “What do you mean you have nothing to do with that man? You are pregnant with his child. Of course, you are in a relationship with him!”
“The baby belongs to me and no one else! I have nothing to do with that man. It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not,” Amelia said.
“You…” Alicia said angrily. “I’m kind enough to buy you a meal, but I can’t believe you just said that. Why? What makes you think you are better just because you were picked up by a car that’s worth over 600 thousand dollars? In the end, what did you get? A tiny concession stand? Don’t pretend to be so virtuous. After all, you just came out of prison!”
Alicia picked up her bag and left. Seeing Alicia leave angrily, Matilda could not help but ask, “What happened? Why did your friend leave like

“Maybe our mindsets are different,” Amelia said.
Since their worldviews were not the same, it would be difficult to be friends. It was better to leave things be. At the very least, they could still have some good impressions of one another!
Alicia drove away. But as she was doing so, she saw another car park not far away.
That car… It was Amelia’s car that she saw the previous day. The back seat window was open. The man sitting in the back seat was looking toward the concession stand.
The man was…
Alicia’s hand trembled, and her car almost crashed to the side.
It was Warren in the car!
Alicia once attended a seminar with Ryan Golding, the rich businessman who was taking care of her. At the seminar, powerful men like Warren was the main character. As for Ryan, he was a nobody.
Ryan once asked for a connection with Warren, but it did not work out for him.
“Could it be that the man Amelia is depending on is Warren? Is Amelia Warren’s lover?”
Thinking of this possibility, Alicia got excited, and her heart beat fiercely! If it was true, then maybe Amelia was not just a former inmate to her but… an opportunity!
Amelia thought Alicia would not come to see her again because she was angry. But the next day, Alicia came with a gift and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Amelia. I was really embarrassed about yesterday. I didn’t mean to say those things. I must have been blinded. I hope you can forgive me seeing that I used to take care of you in prison.”
“No worries,” Amelia said.
“By the way, I heard that you offended a big shot back then. After you were released from prison, did he harass you? Do you need any help? Although I’m not capable enough, I know a lot of people, and they may be able to help,” Alicia said with concern.

In fact, she had checked it out. It was Warren who Amelia had offended back then. Warren testified against her, and Amelia was put in prison. But later, Warren personally revoked the charges for Amelia.
Now, Amelia opened a small concession stand here. Warren sent people to pick her up and also appeared near her shop.
In Alicia’s opinion, the two of them must be having an affair. However, their relationship must be a secret. That was why Amelia refused to talk about it.
