The Ceo’s Convict Wife

Chapter 1206

Amelia was taken aback as if she had not even contemplated this question moment ago. She had merely found comfort in Warren’s presence.

Warren sighed and said, “Regardless, if you happen to encounter Zephyr again, please refrain from provoking him with your words.”

Amelia responded softly, “But earlier, when I brought up Riley missing a finger, Zephyr seemed unaware of it. He called Riley a lunatic. Did he ever truly love Riley?”

“He did love her. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have reacted to what said earlier,” Warren replied.

“His reaction seemed as if he harbored some deep-seated grudge against Riley,” Amelia commented..

“If there’s no love, how can there be hate? The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred,” Warren mumbled, his gaze fixed on Amelia, who was in front of him. “You understand this principle, don’t you?”

Amelia’s body trembled slightly, and she pondered, “How could I not understand? Back then… for both of us… it was the same, wasn’t it?”

“Zephyr’s hatred toward Riley, was it due to the rumors and gossip that circulated involving Riley and Nicholas in the past?” Amelia inquired.

“Whether those were mere rumors or not, only the three of them truly know. It’s also possible that it wasn’t just rumors,” Warren said.

“It’s not possible. When Riley loves someone, her heart remains unwavering. If she had second thoughts, she wouldn’t have prolonged the situation. She would have chosen to end the engagement instead of letting those rumors persist,” Amelia asserted. After all, Riley had a candid personality.

Warren reminded, “You’ve only met Riley in prison, and your understanding of her is quite limited.”

“But…” Amelia argued.

“Indeed, now that you’ve met Zephyr, if you genuinely want to understand what transpired in the past, you’ll have to take things slowly,” Warren advised.

“Take things slowly…” Amelia’s emotions swirled, but Riley could not afford to wait for things to move at a slow pace. Every additional day spent in the psychiatric hospital was another day of torment!
