The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1045
After practicing, even the trainer who taught Aiden could not help but admire his tough temperament which was rarely seen in
other ordinary children.
At this moment, Warren stood not far away and looked at Aiden
practicing. Even though Aiden was beaten to the ground consistently, he would soon stand up and continue to persist.
His eyes, which were similar to Amelia’s, showed a rare kind of strength and determination.
Warren naturally knew that Aiden wanted to be stronger. The latter’s feeling of wanting to become strong was so intense that it
looked as if the child had suffered all the hardships on earth at such a young age.
Then, Warren felt bitter in his heart. If he had not been blinded by hatred and believed Irene, he would have a happy and blissful
family
now.
After Aiden finished his practice, Warren stepped forward and said, “I’ll take you home later.”
“No need. When I came here, I saw a bus nearby. I can take the bus back!” Aiden refused. Then, he added, “I’ll come here by
myself and go back by myself in the future!”
“Do you have to reject me like this? I’m your father!” Warren said.
“But I haven’t had a father since I was born!” Aiden responded. After that, he walked directly into the dressing room.
His short sentence seemed to rub salt in Warren’s wounds, which made the latter feel even more in pain.
When Aiden took the bus, Warren asked his subordinate to follow Aiden and escort him home safely.
“Aiden has arrived home safely, Mr. York, Warren’s subordinate called Warren to inform the latter about it.
“From now on, you will follow him to protect him every time he goes to practice or when he comes back home,” Warren ordered
before putting away his phone. Then, he looked at the computer screen in front of him. which showed Lucas’ information on it.

Chapter 1045
Not only did it have information about Lucas and Nadine, but also every information about Lucas’ ex-wife.
Warren looked at the information with a grim gaze. Moreover, there was a cold expression on his face.
On the weekend, Lucas took Nadine to Amelia’s concession stand. As soon as Nadine arrived, she stayed by Aiden’s side and
insisted that he play with her.
Thus, Amelia asked Aiden to take Nadine to a small park nearby for a while, and Matilda went there as well to accompany the
two children.
Meanwhile, Lucas did not follow them. Instead, he stayed at the concession stand and helped Amelia repair a shelf in there.
Originally, Amelia planned to find a handyman to repair it. However, once Lucas knew about it, he said that he could fix it and
even brought his tools on purpose.
They carried the shelf that needed to be repaired outside the concession stand. Lucas began to fix it with his tools, while Amelia
helped him from time to time by passing the tools and water.
When there was sweat appearing on Lucas’ forehead as he repaired the shelf, Amelia handed him a tissue. “Wipe off the sweat.”
“Thank you.” Lucas took the tissue, wiped his sweat, and then took off his
coat.
Amelia naturally took the coat and said, “I should be the one who thanked you. Otherwise, I’ll have to find the handyman myself.”
“Nowadays, the moment a handyman arrives at a house, he will charge 20 dollars just to get there. Why do you spend money on
that kind of service that is not worth it? If there’s anything that needs to be repaired in the future, tell me. If I can repair it, I’ll do it
for you. You can also save some money,” Lucas said.
“How can I accept your offer?” Amelia said hurriedly.
“We have been friends for so many years. Why shouldn’t you accept it?” Then, Lucas added, “Besides, Nadine likes Aiden very
much. I’m afraid I have to bring her here often in the future.”

“Nadine is very likable. My family likes her very much as well,” Amelia said. After that, she continued, “If you can’t take care of
her because

you’re busy with your business later on, you can also let Nadine stay
here. I’ll help you keep an eye on her. Nadine is very cute. I’ll just think of it as me taking care of my own daughter.”
In the past, she also wanted to have a lovely daughter. However, she would never have one now.
Hearing this, Lucas looked at Amelia-in a daze.
Amelia seemed to realize something and said awkwardly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything else. I just think that Nadine is very
cute. After all, I have no daughter, so... When I look at Nadine, I feel...”
The more Amelia found herself explaining, the more confusing it became. In the end, she could only say, “Anyway, I really...
wasn’t hinting at anything. Don’t overthink it.”
Lucas smiled and tried to ease her embarrassment. “I know you just treat me as a friend. I won’t overthink it, but it’s already hard
for a woman like you to take care of a child. If you need my help, just tell me.”
Lucas smiled frankly. The smile complemented his ordinary-looking face, which made people feel comfortable.
Amelia looked at him. Men like Lucas were really good, and sometimes, she would even think that if the person she had fallen in
love with was Lucas, she could live a peaceful and heartwarming life.
At this moment, a car suddenly came and stopped at the entrance of the concession stand. Then, a woman got out of the car
and rushed toward Amelia. Before everyone could react, she raised her hand suddenly and slapped Amelia on the cheek.
Amelia suddenly felt hot on her face.

“Shame on you! Why do you try to seduce another woman’s man?” The woman shouted and it made some neighbors around
them to look at her.
Lucas-hurriedly dropped the tool in his hand and pulled the woman away. “What are you doing? Are you crazy?”
“I asked you out but you told me that you didn’t have time, Lucas. But now it turns out that you came here to please this
woman?” After that, the woman added with hatred, “What’s the good about this temptress? If you want to find another woman, at
least find someone younger and more beautiful than me!”

“Shut up, Xaviera! I just don’t want to see you. It has nothing to do with Amelia. She’s my friend. I won’t allow you to say things
like that about her!” Lucas said angrily.
“Not allowing me? What’s the matter? You’re already going to find a stepmother for Nadine, but why don’t you let me talk bad
things about her? Is it because of this woman? That’s the reason why you divorced me so easily!” Xaviera Yarnell said
aggressively. Then, she added, “I’m telling you, Lucas, if you want to get rid of me, just give me your stall in the market.
Otherwise, no one is going to have it easy!”
Lucas’ expression suddenly turned grim. “Back then, according to the divorce agreement, I gave the house and most of my
savings to you when we were discussing the terms of the divorce. All this while, I haven’t even asked you to give me money for
child support. Ask yourself who is at fault here, Xaviera!”
A trace of guilt flashed across Xaviera’s eyes. Nevertheless, when she watched Lucas defend Amelia, she immediately thought
she was in the right. “Will you give it to me or not? If not, I will expose the scandal between you and this woman. I heard that this
woman’s child is attending elementary school around here. Let’s see who will be humiliated then.”
