I didn't want to get involved.

But after thinking about it, she was still the mother of my child, and now we were a family. She was crying hard. Maybe she was really hurt.

When I got to the scene of the accident, I saw Amelia carefully blowing on Shawn's forehead.

There was a small bump.

I looked Amelia up and down and confirmed again that she was unharmed, breathing a sigh of relief.

But before I could catch my breath, Amelia saw me and came up to grab my hand tightly.

Her palms were sweaty, maybe she was really scared.

But soon her words refreshed my understanding of her.

"Elijah, you've come at the right time! Now go to the car and sit there. If the traffic police ask, just say you were driving."

"What?"

I stood still in a daze, realizing that she was asking me to take the blame.

"Elijah, Shawn has lost his job and is looking for work. He can't have any violations on his record. Just do me a favor and help him, okay?"

My wife, asking me to do her ex-boyfriend a favor by taking the blame for him!

What an unreasonable person!

Before I could even object, the traffic police arrived at the scene.

Amelia pushed me out. "Officer, he was driving the car and ran into the person!"

Only then did I notice that there was an old man lying in front of the car.

The old man squinted his eyes. As soon as he saw the traffic police, he started groaning louder and louder. "Ouch, ouch!"

Ah, life was like a drama.

When the traffic police asked who the culprit was.

"Him!"

"Him!"

Good, it was a 2-2 draw.

The old and I were pointing at Shawn.

Amelia and Shawn were pointing at me.

The old man looked at me sympathetically and pointed at Shawn angrily.

"Don't think I have poor eyesight. It was this brat who ran into me. They were hugging and kissing each other at the time! If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance video!"

The traffic cop who had just figured out the nature of our relationship was momentarily stunned.

In the end, Shawn was given 12 points and fined $400, and he had to pay $1,000 to the old man.

The old man happily put the money into his pocket and patted my shoulder as he passed by me.

"Young man, oh..."

"Elijah, it's so late. Let's take Shawn home first!"

Was I a clown?

I floored the gas pedal and left them behind.

By the time I was about to fall asleep, Amelia came back, and she moved to the guest bedroom in a huff.
