Chapter 1163
“Rosie, do you know I won’t let you leave me again in this life?” he swore inwardly.
The kiss lasted a very long time. When she was panting for breath and wanted to stop, he suddenly went from passive to taking the lead and deepened the kiss.
“Rosie, just like this… keep loving me…” His hoarse voice was filled with yearning.
“I want her to keep loving me… to the end of time… until we grow old, forever and ever…” he thought.
Meanwhile, Amelia waited uneasily for Rosalie’s investigation results. Unfortunately, even after a few days of investigating Alicia’s previous interpersonal relationships and the places she often went to, she still couldn’t find any clues about Riley.
However, Alicia was tight-lipped and refused to reveal anything. After all, she knew this was her only hope of getting out.
“Amelia, I’ll continue the investigation on my side. If you can’t find anything, we’ll think of another way. Don’t worry,” Rosalie reassured.
“Okay, thank you,” Amelia replied and smiled bitterly after finishing the call.
How could she not be in a hurry?
Nevertheless, Rosalie was still helping her at this point. In the end, Amelia couldn’t do anything except wait.
Next to her, Matilda asked, “How’s it going? Did you find anything?”
Amelia shook her head. “It’s hard to find out anything in a short time. Moreover, there’s a lot of inspecting to be done.”
Matilda sighed.
Hesitating for a while, Amelia said as if she had made up her mind, “Mom, I want to go to Lofbury.”
“Lofbury?” Matilda was stunned and thought, “It’s… the city where the York family lived!” At that thought, she exclaimed, “Are… Are you going to find Warren?”
“Yes.” Amelia smiled bitterly. “In this situation, what I can do is to find Warren and ask him to write a memorandum of understanding. Then I hope he can let Alicia go.”
“But if so, isn’t that letting Alicia off too easy?” When Matilda
remembered how that woman hurt her daughter, she could only fume with anger.
“If Riley is suffering now, the earlier I know about her whereabouts, the earlier I can get her out of there, even if it’s only one day. As for Alicia, I couldn’t care less about her,” Amelia explained.
“I just want to save Riley. As for other things, it doesn’t matter!” she thought.
“However, there’s a possibility Alicia is spouting nonsense. Before this, she had never told anyone she knew of Riley’s whereabouts!” Matilda said.
“It’s not impossible, but… I don’t want to think about that possibility. Anyway, Mom, the only thing I can do now is to beg Warren,” Amelia said.
“But… Didn’t you split up with him? Will… Will he agree?” Matilda was worried.
Amelia was silent. On the day she broke it off with Warren, she knew better than anyone how cruel her words were. She thought that there would be nothing between her and Warren, but reality hit her forcefully in the face.
“I don’t know, but no matter what, I have to try, don’t I?” She smiled bitterly and continued, “But if I go to Lofbury, I’m afraid you have to work a little harder managing both the concession stand and taking care of Aiden.”
“I’m fine with it, but you’re pregnant. I am worried about what will happen to you if you go to Lofbury.”
“It’s okay. I’m not even five months pregnant, and I’m not that clumsy at
the moment. Moreover, I’m taking the high-speed train, and they have staff. If there’s anything wrong, the staff will deal with it,” Amelia said.
Matilda sighed and said nothing. She knew that her daughter’s trip to Lofbury was imperative.
After Aiden finished his homework in the evening, Amelia told her son, “Tomorrow, I’m going to Lofbury. You’ll be staying with Grandma for a few days. You’re a big boy now, so you must be good at home and take good care of Grandma. Wait for me to come back, okay?”
Aiden blinked. “Is Mommy going to find Daddy?”
Amelia hesitated before saying, “I have something to ask your daddy. I should be back in a few days.”
“Mommy, are you going to be with Daddy?” the boy suddenly asked in his childlike voice.
Amelia was stunned momentarily and then said, “Your daddy and I will stay like this. Although we’re not together, we love you, and… No matter what happens between us, I always hope he can be safe and healthy.”
Seemingly puzzled, Aiden asked, “Is it because Daddy used to be bad, so Mommy doesn’t want to be with Daddy?”
Amelia patted her son’s head. “When you grow up, you’ll understand. Well, it’s late. After washing up later, go to bed early.”
Aiden mumbled his agreement in a seemingly confused tone. He thought, ‘Do I have to wait until I’m grown up? But how long do I have to wait until I’m grown up?
To be honest, I don’t hate my daddy that much now. My hatred of him had somewhat faded, especially when he saved my mommy this time and the younger brother or sister in my mommy’s belly.
If Daddy can protect Mommy forever, then… I won’t hate him anymore!’
After her son fell asleep, Amelia booked herself a high-speed train ticket to Lofbury and packed her luggage.
The high-speed train ticket was tomorrow at three o’clock in the
afternoon, as there were fewer people during this time.
However, the thought of seeing Warren again made her involuntarily
nervous.
Worriedly, she wondered, “What should I say when I see him again? I had been so cruel to him, but now, I have to beg him for a favor. And what about him? Will he agree or refuse? It’s been ages since I felt this
nervous.”
Just the thought of it made her feel like her heart was about to leap to her throat.
Amelia looked out the window of the high-speed train and saw the scenery zoom past. Initially, she was slightly relaxed but couldn’t help feeling nervous again.
After all, she would arrive in Lofbury a few hours later. But when she saw Warren, what should she say?
How would Warren think of her?
“Don’t think about it. When I get there, I’ll naturally know,” she said to herself in her heart. Ultimately, she would have to take this step.
In the meantime, a pregnant woman taking the high-speed train alone had attracted some attention. Occasionally, some would ask her why she was taking the train and where her family was.
She merely smiled and answered that her family was busy, so she took the ride alone.
At the same time, she would try to ignore the questioning gazes of others.
After all, she had seen so many doubtful gazes directed at her over the years that sometimes she could even ignore them completely.
When the high-speed train arrived at Lofbury after five hours, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening.
