Chapter 56 Keeping A Proper Distance

"What a coincidence indeed!" Lucian greeted with a smile. "Amelia wanted to visit her alma mater," he continued as he held Amelia's hand, "I decided to come with her."

Amelia beamed at Jonny as well as she nodded approvingly.

Seeing the way Amelia and Lucian got together so well, Jonny couldn't help but be stunned. "Well, since we've bumped into each other like this, let's take a walk together," Jonny said with a smile of his own.

Not knowing what to say, Amelia looked up at Lucian to see if he wanted to go with Jonny or not.

Much to her surprise, Lucian nodded at Jonny's invitation.

Amelia tightened her hand around Lucian's, making her feel more at ease.

This made Lucian feel at ease as well, and instantly put him in a much better mood.

Meanwhile, Jonny quietly looked at the two. Although there was still a smile on his face, there was a pained and sad look in his eyes.

He had planned to invite Amelia to visit Imperial Middle School when he called her. But when he found out that she was out with Lucian, he felt very disappointed.

Jonny didn't think that they would actually run into each other today.

"You seem to still remember the ins and outs of this place, Jonny." They had reached the crystal clear lake just behind the main campus building. It was the place where Amelia and Jonny had a talk from before.

"We've studied here for a while after all," Jonny defended. "This place is bound to leave some sort of impression on us, don't you think?" "Well, I don't remember anything,"

Lucian said in a low voice, his face darkening.

There was an indecipherable smile on Jonny's face as he looked at Lucian. Finally he sighed and shook his head, "Never mind then."

Amelia furrow

ut I think I know you well enough to guess what you like."

Amelia thought about what Jonny said. 'Maybe he thought that I wouldn't be so keen to order anything expensive...

Besides, since he had ordered so many dishes, there's no need to order anything else.' "It's okay. I'm not fussy about food. This is enough," she said with a polite smile.

The table was full of delicious looking food.

'Jeez. Are all rich people the same? Lucian also orders too much food when we eat outside...' Amelia thought to herself. She felt a bit sad when she suddenly thought about Lucian.

"If you say so. We'll talk when you're done eating," Jonny said. He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it on her plate.

Amelia was a little embarrassed. "I can do it myself. Thanks," she said, her cheeks blushing.

Although she was schoolmates with Jonny, she was already a married woman. It was a bit too intimate for him to serve her food like that.

"Okay. Please just help yourself to whatever you want," Jonny smiled considerately.

The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere to it, and the dishes Jonny ordered suited Amelia's taste well.

"Let's go to the coffee shop upstairs," Jonny proposed when Amelia had finished eating.

"All right," Amelia agreed.

This restaurant was especially famous in the city for its relaxing ambiance and modern look. It also had a unique layout — on the first floor, where Jonny and Amelia currently were, they served world-class Chinese food. After people ate there, they had the option to go to the second floor to enjoy a cup of coffee.

It seemed that Jonny had already booked a table. As soon as they got there, the waiter guided them to a small room next to the window.
