Those rare warmth made her feel rather nostalgic.
Finally, he finished the kiss and ran his fingers across her wet lips. “That’s the way to do it. Do you understand?”
She came back to her senses and looked confused.
At that moment, there seemed to be something stirring in his chest.
Amelia took a step back in embarrassment, gasping for breath. “You…”
“What? Aren’t you going to continue? Don’t you want to find your friend? Are you giving up?” he asked.
Amelia bit her lips. At that moment, she felt an indescribable sense of fear.
“Why am I so afraid? Even if we were to have sex now, it wouldn’t be our first time. Besides, I still love him! Although he doesn’t love me anymore and has forgotten about the feelings he had for me, I still remember them!” she thought.
Deep down, she didn’t want to have sex with him under such
circumstances, and she didn’t want him to do such a thing when he did not love her at all.
Amelia held her fists tightly and tried to accept the reality.
Warren frowned. Her trembling body seemed to be telling him no. Even when she didn’t struggle or resist, it only made him feel more irritated.
“Amelia, is this the best you can do? You look like you’re being forced. Didn’t you talk and laugh in front of Lucas? Why are you showing me this expression of yours now? Could it be that you would only seduce him and get him to submit to you willingly?” he asked.
Slap!
A loud slap sounded in the room, and Warren’s face was turned to one side.
Amelia looked at her hand in a daze. The next moment, Warren’s five fingers tightly clasped her hands, and his handsome face was full of
anger.

“Great job, Amelia. Fantastic! How dare you slap me in the face because of Lucas! What’s the matter? Is he so important to you? Can’t you take it when people make fun of him?” Warren fumed.
She met his angry eyes and said with trembling red lips, “I didn’t do it for Lucas. I did it for myself. In my life, I have fallen in love with one man and loved him. No one else! You can humiliate me, but you can’t degrade that relationship!”
He stared at her with deep eyes. Her eyes were clear, but he was in a
mess.
Warren suddenly straightened up, hurriedly picked up his coat, and walked out of the hotel room.
It was like as soon as he looked at her again, he would feel defeated.
The hotel room fell silent at once. Amelia smiled bitterly and put on her clothes again.
Her palm was still in pain, as if telling her how hard she slapped him moments earlier.
She couldn’t help smiling bitterly. She thought, “I’ve screwed everything up. I’m afraid Warren won’t agree to my request after this slap!”
She moved and got out of bed, put on her clothes again one by one, and then gently stroked her belly. “Baby, you were scared just now. Don’t worry. Mommy will protect you well and make sure that you are born safely!”
Warren went back to the car in embarrassment, but as soon as he clo his eyes, Amelia’s last words and her clear eyes would appear repeate
in his mind.
At that moment, he actually felt that she loved him deeply.
“God! How could I have such an illusion? How could it be possible? If s really loved me deeply, then at that time, she wouldn’t still choose to separate from me. Even when I told her to stay, she refused mercilessly,” Warren thought and shook his head.
“Amelia, you’re just a woman I once loved,” he murmured as if he wanted to remind himself of something.
In the evening, Amelia received a call from Lucas. “Well… I’m sorry. Did I cause a misunderstanding between you and Mr. York? If so, I can

apologize,” Lucas said.
“It’s okay,” Amelia said.
“Besides, I bought Aiden a gift. When you left, you forgot to take it with you,” Lucas said. “I’m going back the day after tomorrow. How about I come to your hotel and give it to you?”
“Are you going back the day after tomorrow?” Amelia asked.
“Well, I’m almost done here. We just need to talk with the client tomorrow and finish the work,” Lucas said.
“Well… Please help me bring the gift you bought for Aiden back to Strico. When you go to the concession stand, pass it to my mom. Also, I bought some snacks, and I need your help to bring them back to my mom. She hasn’t eaten the snacks in Lofbury for many years,” Amelia uttered.
Although the snacks could be bought online, they were just different in terms of taste.
Back then, Matilda’s favorite pastries were sold in a shop near her home. Amelia went to that shop, and it was still operating, selling the same kinds of pastries.
She originally planned to take some back when she went home by herself, but since Lucas was going back, she would buy some first. She wanted to give some to Lucas and Nadine, and the rest would be brought to her mother.
Hearing that, Lucas replied, “Okay. Then I’ll come to the hotel and pick it up?”
“Okay,” Amelia said..
The next day, Amelia went to the shop to buy pastries. After so many years, the pastry she was looking for could no longer be seen in many places, but it could still be found in that store, and its taste was as good as she remembered it.
Amelia bought some pastries and was about to leave when a car stopped near her. The window in the back seat slowly moved down, and Amelia saw Lydia in the car.
“Ms. Haab, can we talk?” Lydia asked.
Amelia’s body stiffened. After hesitating for a while, she got in the car.

“Are you here to buy pastries, Ms. Haab? The pastries in this pastry shop are all old-fashioned, and young people don’t like them anymore.” Lydia glanced at the pastry bag in Amelia’s hand.
“Mrs. York, what are you going to talk about with me? Just say it,” Amelia said directly.
Lydia ordered the driver to drive and said, “We’ll go for a cup of coffee. We can talk there. After all, talking in the car is not a good idea.”
Amelia didn’t say anything more. She just turned her head and looked at the scene outside the car that kept moving forward.
The car drove to a club. Lydia and Amelia got out of the car and entered a private room in the club.
