The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 571

“Is that woman a bad person?” Aiden asked, looking confused. “And why did she say that both Mommy and Rosalie have been in prison?”

Amelia found herself at a loss for words as she tried to figure out how to explain the situation to her son.

Rosalie knelt down and gently stroked the little boy’s head. “Aiden, being in prison doesn’t automatically make someone a bad person. Just like how I was in jail, I was wrongly accused by a bad person. But eventually, the law did the right thing and caught the real bad person.”

Though the little boy didn’t fully comprehend the situation, he let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Rosalie’s reassurance that the real wrongdoer had been apprehended.

“What about Mommy? Is she also framed by bad people?” The little boy turned to look at his mother, seeking an answer.

Amelia took a deep breath, realizing that she couldn’t avoid the conversation any longer. She had to address the issue head-on.

“Now, I’m just dealing with it sooner,” she silently reassured herself in her heart.

“Aiden, Mommy hasn’t done anything wrong. I have a clear conscience. What that woman said earlier was all untrue. Mommy has never harmed her,” Amelia reassured her son.

Initially, Amelia had wished to shield her child from the conflicts among adults, but now, Aiden had been exposed to knowledge that was far beyond his years.

The boy’s eyes, which resembled Amelia’s, blinked thoughtfully as if he was processing her words. After a moment, his little face lit up with a smile. “I trust you, Mommy!”

To the young boy, the simple belief that his mother was a good person was all he needed to know.

The unwavering trust of her son brought tears to Amelia’s eyes. After going through so much, very few things had the to truly stir her emotions like this.
