Chapter 44 He Was Worried About Her

Looking at her angry face, Lucian couldn't help let out a chuckle, his eyes full of tenderness. "Don't worry, Amelia. I won't force you. I'm just going to have to wait."

He then sat down on the sofa, looking as elegant as ever.

"Since you aren't sleepy yet, I'm going to bed." Amelia was just about to move her things that Lucian had brought into the room when he stopped her.

"That wasn't a very nice thing to say, was it?" 'Why is she so stubborn?' he thought to himself glumly. Still, in his most patient voice, he offered, "You sleep on the bed and I'll sleep on the sofa, okay?"

"What?" Amelia widened her eyes in disbelief.

It was already weird enough that they were sleeping in the same room so if he slept on the sofa, it would just make things weirder than it already was. She'd never agree to that arrangement.

"Don't forget that we're married. If we continue sleeping in separate rooms, sooner or later, Lily's going to get suspicious. Do you want my mother to come over?" This rendered Amelia speechless.

Was he going to hold that over her head forever?

"Lucian, stop threatening me with these things. I'm not scared!" Amelia spat.

Eyes dimming, Lucian pretended he was angry too. Grabbing the pillow on the bed, he said coldly, "Okay. I'm more concerned about you moving out of the SJ Garden than having to sleep in separate rooms."

While his concern for her was genuine, he didn't want to th

then realized that they were already late for work. Feeling guilty, she built up the courage to apologize, "Sorry for making you late for work."

As the CEO of the Zhan Group, Lucian was always punctual. He rarely arrived late and he rarely left early too.

'He's right. I have such a handsome boss and he sets such a good example for his employees. I should work hard.'

Without saying anything, Lucian pulled over the car and said, "You don't have to work today. I'll take you to eat something then I'll drive you home so you can rest."

"No, I'm fine now." Amelia thought Lucian was exaggerating this.

Lucian knitted his eyebrows together, ignoring Amelia. He took her to a famous porridge place in the city and ordered a bowl of porridge for her.

She was starving. She spat out her breakfast earlier because she didn't want to get car sick.

"Are you sure? We're going home already?" Amelia asked anxiously.

"Just stay at home and wait for me," Lucian said simply as he glanced at Amelia.

With that, Lucian immediately returned to his usual cold self. Amelia wanted to say more but was intimidated by how solemn he looked.

Even when Lucian was angry and upset, he still looked handsome.

She stared at Lucian obsessively which didn't go unnoticed by Lucian.

Amelia was delighted.

"Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia, why are you back so soon?" Lily asked in surprise as she hurried over to Amelia to help her.
