There possibly couldn't be a person in the world who wanted to be deceived. In this case, it was really difficult for Lucian to give a proper response.
The only thing Amelia could do was to hope that Lucian would feel better tomorrow.
The next morning, Amelia got up a lot later than usual. Perhaps it was because of the soft patter of the rain outside. She got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed before running downstairs, thinking that Lucian had already left. Upon reaching the kitchen, she saw that Lucian was still there, leisurely having his coffee. He cast her a cold glance before drawing his attention back to the newspaper in his hand.
'Huh... He seems to be relaxed even though I woke up late,' Amelia thought.
"Mrs. Amelia, come here to have breakfast," Lily greeted when she saw Amelia come down the stairs.
Slowly, Amelia went to the table and sat down. 'I thought that Lucian would say something about how I woke up late,' she thought since she was twenty minutes late. But she puzzled as she looked at Lucian who still hadn't said a single thing to her.
After carefully looking at Lucian, Amelia looked at the food on the table. Her stomach rumbled, and soon could no longer resist the temptation of the delicious food in front of her. One bite after the other, Amelia barely chewed on the food she swallowed.
She thought that it was likely that Lucian would tell her to hurry up as soon as she started to eat.
Not to mention that she would still have to put on her shoes. Amelia took a gulp of water to help push down the food in her throat.
Just when she was about to finish her meal, she saw Lucian walk over slowly and help himself to some food.
Furrowing her brows, Amelia looked at the clock and saw
ss you, why don't you? Not only will I forgive you — I'll also help you clean out the scratch on your car. What do you think?" The fat man saw that Amelia wasn't willing to cooperate with him. He grabbed her hair and pulled her into his arms, pretending to kiss her.
Although he was not tall, he was a man of strength. No matter how hard Amelia struggled, she couldn't get out of his grasp.
"Let me go!" Amelia gritted her teeth and glared at the fat man.
He touched her body with his dirty hand and smiled at her evilly.
She bit her lower lip and stepped on the shoes of the fat man, thinking that he would let her go because of the pain. But unexpectedly, the fat man groaned softly and pressed her body against the car with more vigor, intending to kiss her forcefully.
There were a lot of cars on the road and yet no one came to save her. Amelia wanted to shout, but the fat man covered her mouth with his hand.
Amelia was unable to move. The man's face came in closer and closer, just mere inches away from hers. There was nothing Amelia could do now but close her eyes and pray that all of this would end. All of a sudden, the man was pulled away. There was a loud thud, and the man groaned in pain.
Amelia was still in shock and did not dare to open her eyes. Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around her trembling body. She flinched, thinking that it was the fat man. "You little fool," a familiar voice called out. Amelia opened her eyes in surprise.
Lucian had made it just in time. Even though he was already here, Amelia still felt immensely terrified. Slowly, she put her arms around his waist and buried her face in Lucian's chest. As she smelled his familiar and comforting scent, Amelia finally allowed herself to cry.
