Amelia bit her lower lip and quietly retreated her steps, not wanting to disturb the seemingly loving couple.
When she left, she couldn't ignore the overwhelming sadness that she was feeling. It didn't help that tears were falling down her face too.
It was a nice day outside. As she walked, she felt the cold wind blowing in her face. Trembling in her thin coat, she didn't expect for today to be a chilly one. She thought that by now she would be sweating buckets.
She stood at the corner of the street and looked at the busy city. Suddenly, she wondered where she should go.
She pulled up Courtney's number on her phone, hesitating for a while. They had just seen each other the other night after all. That night, Courtney expressed her worries about how Amelia was acting. Who knows what Courtney would do if she saw Amelia like this? She might even confront Lucian!
With that, she decided that she wasn't going to tell Courtney about her deal with Lucian. She just thought it was better that less people knew about it and she also just didn't want Courtney to worry about her.
Suddenly, her phone buzzed startling her that she almost dropped her phone. It was Lucian calling.
A bitter smile emerged on her lips. 'Why is he thinking of me while he's with his girlfriend?'
For some reason, she felt sad. Even though she knew that her marriage wi
e she recognized the man, she said hurriedly, "Amelia, your husband is here!"
Husband? It took for a while for Amelia to understand what was happening. At first, she thought Courtney was just trying to distract her so she gritted her teeth. "Don't try to distract me! He's somewhere else right now! "
Lucian was spending time with Sasha. Why would he come here? That was impossible.
She loosened her grip on Courtney. Gone was her energy and it was replaced with loneliness and sadness. Absentmindedly, she commented, "How come women can be so faithful while men run around with so many different women?"
As Lucian was making some gesture that Courtney couldn't quite understand, she turned her attention to Amelia and asked, "Why? Is Lucian in love with someone else?"
As soon as the question came out, Courtney's face turned pale with fear.
She had to ask since Amelia wouldn't just mention something like that out of nowhere if it had no basis.
Courtney's words hit Amelia like a truck. But it wasn't as if Lucian had fallen in love with another woman, it was that Lucian never had feelings for Amelia in the first place. He was merely getting back together with the woman he truly loved and that was Sasha.
This left Amelia unable to answer Courtney's question.
"Get up." Amelia then let go of Courtney and reached out a hand to help her up.
