Chapter 692
The Ceo’s Convict Wife
âMommy, can we take more photos with Daddy today?â Aiden voiced out while they were collecting the entrance tickets.
Amelia was stunned. âI can help snap more photos of you and Daddy together.â
âI want photos with both of you in it,â Aiden clarified.
âA group photo together? I doubt Warren would be willing to do so even if I agreed.â Amelia mulled over it silently.
âIs the reason we canât have a group photo because you and Daddy are divorced?â Aiden questioned sullenly. âBut I have classmates who have many photos with their divorced parents as well.â
Aiden had a forlorn look on his face as he spoke.
Amelia raised her hand and caressed her sonâs head. After pondering for a while, she said, âMommy will take more pictures of you and Daddy before taking a group photo with all three of us, all right?â
âOkay.â A smile reappeared on Aidenâs face as he nodded eagerly.
Amelia sighed internally as she took in her excited son. All she did on this day was to fulfill Aidenâs wishes. As such, she would try her best to at least get a group photo of them together as a family.
Warren walked toward them just then, and Aiden naturally stretched his hand out to him.
Warren couldnât help feeling nonplussed as he stared at the tiny hand reaching for him.
âAiden just wants to go hand in hand with you into the amusement park,â Amelia explained her sonâs behavior from the side.
Aiden blinked his inky eyes and sought permission innocently, âCan I?â A mix of excitement and anxiety was visible on his face as if he feared Warren would refuse.
However, he grinned widely in the blink of an eye once more when Warren extended his hand to clasp his.
Aiden was smack in the middle of Amelia and Warren, who held either side of his hands. The trio looked like any ordinary family visiting the amusement park just then.
Everything in the amusement park fascinated Aiden, even though it KI 10:18 wasnât his first visit, and every turn and corner was full of surprises.
A child was so easily satisfied. While observing her gleeful son, Amelia couldnât help thinking about how difficult it would be to reach fulfillment as one grew older and their wants increased.
Amelia hesitated when Aiden tugged her hand hoping that she and. Warren would ride the merry-go-
round with him.
One was required to sit on a wooden carriage that rotated on its tracks. It was considered a more thrilling ride among those suitable for children of Aidenâs age group.
Amelia wouldnât have minded accompanying Aiden in the past, but she wasnât sure if her body could still handle it in its current state.
âMommy?â Aiden looked at her expectantly.
âWhatâs wrong? Didnât you say you would do anything for your son? Canât you even join him on this ride?â Warren remarked caustically.
Ameliaâs body stiffened. After a while, she agreed to Aiden, âOkay, Iâll ride the merry-go-round with you.â
Aiden let out a whoop of joy.
It wasnât until their turn to get on to the ride that Amelia realized it spun slightly faster than she anticipated based on her observation from outside.
Amelia was overcome with the urge to vomit even though sheâd eaten little as of late due to her sickness. The spot around her liver also began aching again.
Aidenâs child-like exclamations were full of elation, and she knew he was on cloud nine.
She gripped the armrest tightly and stiffened her body into an upright position to suppress her discomfort as much as possible. Little did she know that Warrenâs gaze was trained on her.
The speed at which the ride was spinning was nothing to Warren. Warren even considered accompanying Aiden on such a childish ride a brand-new experience.
The unexpected sense of delight and pride that welled up in his heart upon hearing the cheers of his son was foreign to him.
âOr is this what blood ties feel like? Am I capable of feeling such emotions since Aiden is my son?â
Warren thought. After all, heâd never been fond of children.
Warren noted Ameliaâs deathly pale face and deeply furrowed brows on her sweat-lined forehead. He could tell that she was holding it in. While the ride was enjoyable for Aiden, it caused her nothing but distress.
He abruptly began to slightly regret what heâd said to her.
Amelia spoke to Aiden with much effort after the ride finally ended, âMommy needs to use the restroom for a minute. You wait here with Daddy.â With that, she stumbled to the restroom and dry-heaved into the sink.
She hadnât eaten anything before coming out. Hence, nothing was disgorged from her gut.
Aiden didnât detect anything off about her when she emerged from the bathroom, and he yammered on about riding the Ferris Wheel. Warren, on the other hand, saw through Amelia.
âHow are you?â He didnât even know whether asking after her meant he was concerned about her.
âIâm fine,â she muttered indifferently, but her eyes were constantly on _Aiden.
Aiden was the only one who existed to her.
Warren suddenly pulled her back when they reached the Ferris Wheel. âYou may stay here if you arenât feeling well. I can bring Aiden up on my own.â
Amelia looked at him dubiously. âItâs fine. Iâm not scared of heights.â She then broke free from him.
The trio got onto the Ferris wheel, and Amelia whipped out her phone, addressing Warren, âIâll take a few pictures of you and Aiden with your consent. Afterward, I will send them all to you. I wonât save any of it on my phone. Alternatively, I can snap the photos with your phone if you have any misgivings.â
Warren responded plainly, âThereâs no need. Your phone will do.â
âOkay.â She assumed he would turn her down and had prepared to convince him. Nonetheless, he surprised her by going along with her without much fuss..
Aiden was euphoric to have the chance to take a photo with Warren and sprang down from his seat beside Amelia to scoot closer to Warren.
Amelia looked at Warren through the lens. While his expression was stern and solemn, he surely bore some degree of affection for Aiden since he was willing to cooperate in the photo-taking.
