Chapter 1193
“That’s…” Ann hesitated for a moment and smiled. “Okay. Then I’ll call you Amelia. I made some breakfast suitable for pregnant women. Come see if it suits your taste.”
Ann took out breakfast from the kitchen and glanced at Amelia, who seemed to be looking for something on the couch.
“Amelia, what are you looking for? I’ll help you find it,” Ann said.
“I left a book on the couch last night. Did you see it when you came in this morning?” Amelia asked.
“Is it the one with the red cover?” Ann recalled.
“Yes, it’s the one with the red cover.”
“I saw Mr. York reading the book this morning. Did Mr. York take it with him?” Ann said.
Amelia was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Warren to read the book.
After all, it was a romance novel.
Amelia wasn’t sure how to describe her feelings at that moment as she wondered why Warren was reading her romance novel.
Meanwhile, in the office, Frederick looked at the romance novel on Warren’s desk with an indescribable feeling.
From the title of the book, “Love You With the Rest of My Life,” he could tell it was a romance novel.
He was certain that kind of romance novel didn’t seem to be something that Warren would like.
At that moment, the book was half open. Obviously, Warren had read half of it and put it aside with the intention of continuing later.
“I have reviewed the LJ acquisition proposal, and there are quite a few issues. If we proceed with the current plan, the chances of failure are high,” Warren said. “Ask them to come up with a new proposal, not this perfunctory one, or I’ll walk away… What are you looking at?”
“Ah!” Frederick suddenly came to his senses. “Nothing…”
Warren followed Frederick’s gaze and landed at the book. “What? Are interested in this kind of book?”
you
Frederick suddenly flashed an awkward smile on his face. It seemed that it would not be appropriate for him to answer the question with a “yes or no.”
After some thought, he said, “This kind of book… I read them occasionally. It’s good.”
“So, you read this kind of book occasionally?” Warren asked.
“My girlfriend likes reading such books, and I flip through them occasionally. However, most of her reading is done online. She doesn’t have many physical books.”
“Why do women like to read this kind of book?” Warren ran his fingers over the book and asked, “Do they like the romance?”
“I think so. Every time my girlfriend reads this kind of book, she says how amazing the male lead is and how much she envies the female lead in the story,” Frederick remarked.
He couldn’t help but complain. After all, she often compared him to the ‘characters in the novels.
“She envies the female lead in the story, huh?” Warren muttered. Then he wondered, “Does Amelia also envy the female lead in this novel?”
When Frederick left the office, Warren continued to read the novel, page by page.
He was not a person who liked to read such books, but since Amelia read it, he couldn’t help but look through it. So he brought the book to the office.
The male and female leads in the story met unexpectedly and fell in love at first sight. After a few months, they met in an accident. The female lead was identified by the police as a murder suspect, while the male lead tried his best to clear the female lead’s name.
Everyone around him advised the male lead to stop doing that kind of useless work. Some even suggested that a big shot made the female lead a scapegoat to save his daughter.
However, the male lead still firmly believed in the female lead. He said to those who persuaded him, “A few months of feelings can last a lifetime.”
Finally, the male lead collected all the evidence and handed it over to the police. The police arrested the real killer. The female lead was acquitted, but as a result, the male lead provoked the big shot and was knocked into a coma by the villain’s men.
After that, the female lead caught the real killer for the male lead and silently stayed by his side.
As the title said, she loved him for the rest of her life.
Twenty years later, the male lead woke up and saw the female lead, who already had some white hair. He recognized her immediately.
At the end of the story, the female lead pushed the male lead, who was in a wheelchair, back to the maple forest where they had first met.
They looked at each other and smiled. It was enough to have someone who would accompany them wholeheartedly for a lifetime.
When Warren finished reading the novel, he felt that the first half of the plot was very similar to his experience with Amelia.
It was not a coincidental meeting between them before they began to fall in love. The difference was that he had approached her intentionally from the beginning. Later, when she had been framed and arrested by the police, he had become a witness who had testified against her and sent her to prison.
Warren wondered, “If Amelia enjoys this kind of romance novel, did she hope I would protect her when she first went to prison?”
At that thought, Warren couldn’t help but smile.
He thought about the line in the novel, “A few months of feelings can last a lifetime.”
In his case, he had spent ten years of his feelings for Amelia.
He thought a decade of that was enough.
It was enough for him to understand that she would never love him again in her life. In that case, his feelings for her were simply useless. That was why he chose hypnosis, believing it to be the best choice.
At that moment, all he wanted to do was to fulfill an old wish of his. At the same time, he wanted to get bored of Amelia so that he wouldn’t be affected by her again.
“I don’t want to fall in love with a woman who doesn’t love me.”
That was what Warren told himself.
When Warren returned to his condominium that evening, he saw Amelia and Ann in the living room. Ann met Warren and said, “Mr. York, you’re back.”
“You can go back now,” Warren said.
“Okay,” Ann replied. She didn’t stay in the condominium during the night. She stayed in a separate servant’s condominium next door. When Warren was not around, she would come to Amelia’s unit to take care of her.
Ann left, and on the dining table, a hearty meal had already been set.
“Ann has prepared all these,” Amelia said. “Would you like to eat with me?”
“Let’s have dinner together. I haven’t eaten yet,” Warren replied.
