Chapter 675
Even at this moment, Warren panicked all of a sudden.
“Why did you suddenly withdraw the lawsuit, Warren? Don’t you want custody?” Irene went directly to Strico and asked Warren the question as soon as she saw him.
Ever since he stayed in Strico, she had been anxious and felt as if something might happen.
Although Amelia had lowered herself to the extreme now, she still had a child with Warren. Thus, this kind of relationship could not be cut off. Meanwhile, as long as Irene has not become the actual lady of the household of the York family, she would not feel at ease.
“I have reached an agreement with her. In three months, she will give Aiden to me. Moreover, from now on, she won’t show up in front of him again,” Warren said indifferently.
Irene was surprised and immediately said, “Is she… planning a scheme? Why is she suddenly willing to give up custody without any hesitation?” “A scheme…” Warren mused to himself. The image of Amelia sharing loving glances with that man who looked honest suddenly flashed across. his mind. His heart immediately filled with frustration. “Enough! What scheme can she plan? Does she have the right to trick me?” Warren’s voice was full of anger.
Hearing this, Irene knew that Warren was angry. She quickly said gently, “Of course, she doesn’t have the right. In the future, I will be a good mother to Aiden, Warren.”
Warren stared at Irene and recalled the requests Amelia made when she went to see him that night. One of her requests was for him to be careful of Irene.
“What’s the matter?” The way he looked at Irene made her feel confused. “Nothing,” Warren replied.
“Then, why don’t we have our wedding within these three months?” Irene asked. After that, she added, “Anyway, we’ve already prepared almost everything. After the wedding, Aiden will also go back to the York family. It will be a double blessing. Moreover, by that time, it will finally be right and proper for me to help you take care of Aiden.”
Warren was silent. Indeed, it was time for the wedding, which had been

delayed for so long. However, every time he thought of staying with Irene for a lifetime, it always made him feel an inexplicable repulsion toward her.
It was as if he was supposed to spend his life with another person.
He thought, “What was I thinking? Did I think Amelia was the one that I wanted to spend my entire life with? That’s ridiculous!”
Then, Warren suppressed the thought that made him despise himself and said to Irene, “Very well, let’s get married. I’ll ask others to prepare for it. Our families can set the date together later.”
Irene looked overjoyed and was excited. She smiled sweetly at Warren. “I will be a good wife and mother, Warren.”
She thought, ‘As for Amelia? Humph! What right does that woman have to compete with me?
From now on, I’ll be the young mistress of the York family. Meanwhile, Amelia will just be a speck of dirt!
Amelia did not expect that Irene would appear in front of her again.
Irene, dressed in a haute couture outfit from a luxury brand, looked elegant and noble. There was a smile on her delicate face as if she were a winner.
“We’ve met again, Amelia. Speaking of which, I thought you were going to fight against Warren to the end. But the lawsuit hasn’t started yet, and you have already given up custody on your own initiative. What’s the matter? Do you want to gain more benefits by giving up custody?” Irene stood in front of the food cart and looked at Amelia mockingly as if the former was looking at a loser.
Amelia raised her eyes slowly. “Are you here just to tell me this?”
“Of course, that’s not just it. I also want to tell you that Warren and I will get married within these three months. After you give the child back to Warren three months later, I will treat him ‘well”.” Irene deliberately emphasized the word “well,” but one could easily hear the threat in her words.
Amelia narrowed her eyes and stared at her coldly.
Irene said with a smile, “Although you caused me to have a miscarriage back then, after all, that child is also Warren’s child. I am not a vindictive person. Naturally, I will treat the child well and raise him to become a good person.”

Although she said it that way, her gaze was telling a different thing.
Amelia stared at Irene and said slowly, “You and I both know exactly what was going on back then, Irene. You can hurt me because Warren doesn’t care about me at all. But do you think you can hurt Aiden? He is related to Warren by blood. Can Warren tolerate you plotting against Aiden? Do you really think he would be that stupid?”
Irene’s expression stiffened. For a moment, she did not know how to refute Amelia.
“Believe it or not, if Aiden gets hurt because of you one day, who would Warren throw away? Is it you or his own flesh and blood?” Amelia continued.
“You…” Irene gritted her teeth. Then, she added, “Your son is just a disabled person, Amelia. Do you think Warren would care about a disabled son? Even if I can’t give birth to a child, so what? I can find those surrogate mothers to give birth to Warren’s children and then, I’ll raise the children myself. Your disabled son is just a burden to the York family!”
The word “disabled” hurt Amelia’s heart. Back then, if she had not been framed by Irene and sent to prison, she would not have fever there. After that, she could only take cold medicine to reduce the fever, but pregnant women were not supposed to eat that medicine at all.
Nevertheless, at that time, she had no choice but to continue taking the cold medicine. It was because if her fever continued, she might lose her child directly.
She had no choice but to take the medicine. Moreover, those pills were given by her fellow inmates who shared the same cell with her. They were the ones who pitied her.
If she did not have a fever or taken the medicine, Aiden would not have lost his hearing. He would be a healthy child.
“You’re the only one who treasures the disabled son. Do you think Warren would care about him? Warren is competing with you for Aiden now because he doesn’t want a child of his bloodline to be raised by a woman like you. When Warren has another son in the future, your disabled son will be thrown away.”
Irene’s viciousness continued.
Amelia suddenly raised her hand and slapped Irene in the face. “If you dare to say things like this about Aiden again, I will fight you, Irene!”

Amelia stared at her angrily. The former looked like she was willing to risk everything.
Irene covered her cheek in disbelief. “H-How dare you hit me?”
“Why won’t I dare to hit you? You’re lucky that I didn’t chop you off with a knife after you made me into this.” Amelia then added coldly, “Or do you want to feel what it’s like to be chopped off?”
