The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1117

At the same time, it acted as a reminder to her. It reminded her to stay determined, not lose her sense

of self in the relationship, and to learn from her past mistakes to avoid making them again.

Because once she gave in, she might be consigned to eternal damnation!

It was almost evening the next day when Alicia drove to find Amelia.

“Amelia, remember when we decided to grab a bite together? There’s this amazing new restaurant that

serves delicious food. How about we go try it out? I have come all this way just to pick you up. Please

don’t say no,” Alicia said.

Amelia hesitated for a while and then smiled. “Sure. Let’s eat dinner together. Wait a moment.” After

saying that, Amelia informed Matilda and Aiden. Then she grabbed her bag and left the concession

stand to follow Alicia into the car.

Alicia took her to a fancy fondue restaurant. The restaurant targeted wealthy customers and gained

popularity online.

Amelia was impressed by the exquisite decoration inside, which naturally reflected its high price.

As they were about to order their food, a voice suddenly interrupted, saying, “Hey there, it’s Alicia!

What a coincidence! Ryan is here as well. Do you want to say hello to him?”

Amelia glanced upward, only to discover a middle-aged man in his forties. Although he spoke to Alicia,

his eyes remained fixed on her with an inquisitive gaze that made her uncomfortable.

Alicia stood up and said to Amelia, “Amelia, it’s a coincidence that my partner is also here for dinner

today. I’ll go say hello!” Then she left with the middle-aged man and walked towards a nearby private

room.

Alicia returned after some time and said, “Amelia, my partner and his friends are currently dining in the

other private room. They have just placed their food order but haven’t started eating yet. It would be

great if we could join them since more people means more fun!”

Amelia replied, “I don’t know those people, and it’s not a good idea to join them. As you know, I don’t

like being in lively events. Today, I simply want to have a peaceful meal with you”

“Well, that’s not true. It’s just a meal. I told them I’m bringing you to the private room for dinner. If I say

you’re not going now, my partner will be angry, and I will suffer the consequences. I’m not afraid to tell

you the truth. He and I are not married. If he is unhappy with me, he can end our relationship anytime.

Amelia, I am over 30, and this man is my future.”

Alicia expressed her sorrow with a pitiful tone. She even went so far as to use her previous acts of

kindness in prison to persuade Amelia. Feeling reluctant yet again, Amelia found herself unable to turn

down the invitation. Consequently, she nodded and agreed. “All right, I’ll come. But I’m leaving early

later. As you know, I am currently pregnant and tend to experience fatigue more readily.”

“Certainly!” Alicia said with a smile.

They came to the private room. Amelia looked around the room and noticed four men in a private room.

There were also seven sets of plates and cutlery on the table. Three sets were not used but were

already on the table.

“If she and Alicia have two, who will use the other set of plates and cutlery?” Amelia wondered.

Inexplicably, Amelia had a bad feeling because the four men were staring at her, making her feel

trapped and uncomfortable.

Amelia suspected it was a deliberate plan rather than a random coincidence today. She calmly sat

down, keeping her thoughts to herself.

“Everyone, this is my friend Amelia Haab.” Alicia also introduced them, saying, “Amelia, this is Ryan

Golding, my partner. The others are Anthony Waskey, Casper Mabins, and Jasper Yustone.”

Ryan smiled at Amelia and said, “Alicia has been talking about you quite a lot lately. She mentioned

that you and she have been friends for many years. Since we are all gathered here for this meal today,

why don’t we take this opportunity to get to know each other? I heard you’re expecting a baby, so I

ordered a pregnancy-friendly dessert for you. You should give it a try.”

Without a doubt, a dessert was presented right in front of Amelia.

“Thank you,” Amelia said.

“My pleasure.” Ryan’s smile was deliberately flattering.

“Ms. Haab, congratulations on your pregnancy! Why not invite the father

of your baby to join you for a casual meal? It will make the occasion

more enjoyable and also to celebrate the upcoming arrival of your baby!” Anthony said.

Amelia felt her heart sink as she realized the intentions behind it all. They wanted to meet Warren.

That explained the presence of this untouched plate and cutlery!

At that moment, Alicia echoed, “That’s right, Amelia. Why not invite the father of your child to have a

casual meal together?”

Amelia stood up and rejected, “I don’t think so. Alicia, I’m feeling a little unwell. I’m going back first.”

Alicia hastily grabbed Amelia and asked, “Amelia! Are you really leaving without eating? Perhaps

you’re feeling hungry, which could be why you’re not feeling well. Why not indulge in the dessert first?”

“No, I really want to go back,” Amelia said.

Jasper immediately felt upset and sneered, “Are you truly uncomfortable? If you are, we will take you to

the hospital right away. If you’re just pretending, it means you don’t respect us and don’t want to eat

with us. Alicia, it looks like your friend is not being respectful.”

Jasper not only possessed the largest business among these individuals but was also known for his

arrogance.

Ryan had been flattering Jasper lately. When Alicia said that Amelia might be pregnant with Warren’s

baby, Ryan quickly told Jasper that Alicia was a friend of Warren’s lover, which interested Jasper. As a

result, they decided to have fondue together today.

But unexpectedly, Amelia did not show respect to Jasper, which

displeased him. He felt that even Warren’s partner had a low opinion of

him.

“You are just Warren’s mistress. Being pregnant doesn’t necessarily mean you’re successful. Do you

know the status of the York family? You have been in prison before, and being pregnant with Warren’s

child doesn’t mean you can marry into the York family. You should be aware of your circumstances. If

you assist the York family in expanding their business, Warren might still hold you in high regard. We’re

giving you a chance to prove your value. You should know your position!” Jasper said in an unkind

tone.

Amelia replied indifferently, “You don’t need to give me a chance, Mr. Yustone. And I don’t need to

prove my worth either. Does it matter to you if I’ve been in jail or who the father of my child is?”
