Chapter 463
“I… I don’t know either,” Irene said awkwardly. She wondered, “Who called just now? And who is Warren going to stop?”
“What should we do? Did… Warren leave because he doesn’t want to marry Irene?” Irene’s mother, Ivy Fletcher, said worriedly.
After all, the Fletcher family originally only had a third-rate small company. It was all because of the support of the York family over the years that they got into the upper-class circle.
Everyone knew the Fletcher family relied on the York family. Many people even secretly compared the Fletcher family to parasites that lived off the York family.
If the marriage between the York family and the Fletcher family failed, the latter would probably return to their original
state.
“How is it possible? The York family has already agreed on the wedding date. There won’t be changes.” Irene’s father, Thomas Fletcher, reproached Ivy softly and said in a low voice, “All right. There are so many guests here today. We have to pretend like nothing happened!”
.Ivy could only force a smile to face the guests around her then.
Irene pursed her red lips tightly and looked toward the exit of the banquet hall, where Warren had long disappeared.
Even though she had called out to Warren so loudly just then, he didn’t look back, as if he had forgotten about her and everything around him at that moment.
“Who can make him leave such an important occasion?” Irene thought, and an intense uneasiness surged in her heart.
Meanwhile, Amelia watched the moving company’s personnel load all the luggage she could not carry with her on the trip into the vehicle and drive off, then turned to look at Matilda and Aiden. “Well, Mom, let’s have a meal first, then we will leave for the train station.”
Aiden opened his beautiful eyes wide and asked, “Mommy, are we not coming back to Strico in the future?”
“In the future…” Amelia was in a daze, and even she didn’t know how long she would have to hide from Warren. “When you are older, we can live wherever you like, Aiden, okay?”
“I like it here because Rosalie is here,” Aiden said.
Amelia smiled. It was probably the luckiest thing for her to have met Rosalie in Strico. If it weren’t for Rosalie, Aiden wouldn’t have gotten the best hearing aid so soon. Unfortunately, she couldn’t help Rosalie, who was hurt by love then.
“Okay, let’s go.” Amelia took Aiden’s hand and left the rental home with Matilda.
After the three of them had a simple meal nearby, they took the subway and arrived at the train station.
It was 2:30 p.m. by then. It was still early, and there was more than an hour until the departure time.
Amelia and Matilda found seats inside the train station and sat down.
Unlike Aiden who looked around curiously, Amelia looked worried at that moment.
“What’s wrong?” Matilda looked at Amelia’s uneasy look and asked.
“I… I don’t know. I just feel like something is going to happen,” Amelia said. At that moment, her heart inexplicably pounded violently.
“We’re leaving Strico soon, What can happen? Besides, Warren is not in Strico either. I read from the news that he is attending a banquet with Irene in Sloummont today. Good things are about to happen between the two families.”
Speaking of that, Matilda became angry again. Compared with Irene, what happened to Amelia was too miserable.
“Mom!” Amelia hurriedly said, “Stop it.” After all, Aiden was right next to her, and she didn’t want him to hear the adults’ issues.
Matilda also seemed to come back to her senses and shut up.
Fortunately, Aiden only focused on looking around at that time.
As time went by, Amelia felt that her uneasiness got more intense. She desperately wanted to take Matilda and Aiden on the high-speed train immediately.
Finally, the check-in for Amelia’s train was announced on the broadcast.
However, Aiden happened to want to go to the restroom at that moment, so Amelia said to Matilda, “Mom, please look after the luggage first. I’ll take Aiden to the restroom.”
“Then you have to hurry up. It’s
me to check in,” Matilda said.
“Okay, I know,” Amelia answered and took Aiden’s hand to the restroom.
She took Aiden to the women’s restroom. After all, Aiden was too young to go to the men’s restroom by himself. Anyway, there were doors in every cubicle in the women’s restroom, and usually, no one would say anything.
After Aiden used the restroom, Amelia picked him up to wash his hands at the sink and then led him out.
“Mommy, are you scared?” Aiden suddenly asked in his childlike voice.
Amelia looked down at Aiden in surprise. “Aiden, why do you think so?”
“It’s because the way you look right now is like how Posy looks when she is afraid of the monster,” Aiden said. “Pip and Posy: The Scary Monster” was the cartoon he had watched recently.
Amelia felt suffocated for a moment. Not only Matilda but also Aiden could see that she was scared. “Am I being so obvious?” she thought.
“But I will protect you!” Aiden said seriously, “Mommy, don’t be afraid.”
Amelia’s eyes turned red, and she couldn’t help but crouch down and hug Aiden.
“Okay, I won’t be afraid,” Amelia murmured. It was the right thing for her to give birth to Aiden.
She would protect Aiden and wouldn’t let him be harmed at all costs.
It wasn’t until she heard the announcement of the check-in reminder on the broadcast that Amelia came to her senses and hurriedly walked out of the restroom with Aiden.
But after a few steps, she suddenly stopped. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her face turned pale.
“How could Warren be here?” she exclaimed inwardly. Fear suddenly enveloped Amelia and urged her to run away immediately.
But her feet seemed frozen, and she couldn’t move even a step.
“Mommy, I’ve met this man. He helped me find my hearing aid last time.” Aiden broke free from Amelia’s hand and trotted to Warren, who was looking at him blankly. “Hello, Mister,” he said politely.
Warren thought that few things could surprise him, but he was surprised repeatedly that day.
Earlier, when he had heard on the phone that there was a child about three to four years old with Amelia, he was so shocked that he forgot everything and rushed out of the banquet hall. When he had come to his senses, he was already driving the car from Sloummont to Strico.
