The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1037

“Yes, I understand!” answered the lawyer.

Right at that moment, Amelia reached the police station in a frantic. As soon as she caught sight of her son, she sprinted ahead and checked on the boy carefully.

Even though her mother told her that Aiden only suffered nothing but some scrapes, when Amelia looked at the boy’s battered and wounded face, her eyes turned all misty and teary.

“Does it hurt?” she asked, seeming sad.

Aiden shook his head. “Nope.” Yet, upon parting his lips and speaking, he pulled the sore muscle in his face, hence baring his pearly whites and gnashing them in pain.

That put Amelia out of sorts once more.

Matilda, too, beat herself up again. “It’s all my fault. Had I learned that he had been in there for too long and summoned someone in sooner, Aiden wouldn’t have been hurt like this.”

“It’s not Granny’s fault. I… I’m just not strong enough.” Aiden blamed himself for not being strong enough to get the better of those people. Were he stronger than them, he would not have gotten hurt, nor would his mother and grandmother have to be put through the heartbreaking episode.

Amelia caressed her son’s head gently and turned to Matilda. “All right, Mom. Let me take over.” With that, she approached the policeman dealing with the issue. “Hello, officer. I’m Aiden’s mother. May I leave with my son now?”

“We’ve finished taking down the statement. This lawyer over here claimed to be Aiden’s representative lawyer. Are you going to file a case against the other party, or would you be leaning toward a settlement?” asked the police officer.

Amelia skimmed the statement before sneaking a peek at Milo, who spearheaded the pack that picked on Aiden. She had once resolved the matter privately in school, but she did not expect it to happen again.

Considering that Warren specially hired a lawyer, she naturally knew his intention. She might not wish to have anything to do with Warren, but for the sake of her child, she would have to make do with it.

“I’d press charges against them,” replied Amelia as she wrote down her clear choice of refusing to reach a settlement with the perpetrators, not to mention undersigning the statement, complete with her contact details.

Seeing Amelia turn them away, those parents appeared dejected on the spot. Even so, they could not summon any courage to speak up because of Warren’s presence.
