When she heard that Lucian had misunderstood her, she got anxious and said, "Lucian, we are a couple. We should trust each other. I respect your opinion, that's the reason I told you. I didn't expect that you would think of me like this!"
After saying her piece in a state of fury, she drank the black tea that Lucian made.
When Lucian saw her angry face, he could not help but smile. He felt that he was in the wrong, so he smiled and said, "This is just a kind reminder."
"So, did you agree?" asked she with wide eyes. She was eager to confirm it.
"Yes." Lucian looked at her, his eyes locked on hers. He took her cup and filled it with tea.
His consideration made Amelia happy. Looking at his tall figure, she sighed. She was too happy.
It was almost time to go home. Lucian told her that there would be a dinner party that evening. He would be passing Courtney's milk tea shop, so he could drive her there.
Amelia thought, 'Since we are going the same way, it will not be bother if I go with him.' Without any hesitation, she agreed to go with him.
The Zhan Group wasn't far from Courtney's milk tea shop. It was only a few minute-drive. Before getting off the car, Amelia told Lucian to take care and to not drink too much at the party. She also told him that if he did drink, he should call her so she could pick him up.
Lucian nodded incessantly, then complained, "Mrs. Amelia, you're nagging me."
The jest in his voice was more flattering than mocking.
"I'll be going then." Blushing, she pointed to the mi
, rolling on the bed in pain. Remembering this, Courtney snatched the bottle in front of Amelia and said, "For your stomach's sake, I won't let you drink!"
When Courtney said that, Amelia felt a quick jolt of pain in her heart.
Both she and Courtney were compassionate people. They could be cruel to themselves, but never to others. They always put the blame on themselves. Even after Jasper cheated on her, Amelia didn't cry. Instead, she gave them her blessing.
Maybe, it was God who made her break up with Jasper in order for her to meet Lucian.
"I'll join you!" Amelia grabbed the bottle and started drinking.
She would rather see Courtney happy, even if that meant having gastritis. It was useless comforting Courtney. Amelia could only let her do whatever she wanted to do. Anything was good as long as she was happy.
After half an hour, their table was already filled with empty bottles. Courtney, like a bewitched girl, ran into the toilet frequently.
Amelia's face was already flushed and her back cold with sweat. She was already full with the beer, and barely ate any food.
Even though she was already dizzy, she could still think clearly. She checked her phone several times, but Kent didn't reply.
"Hey, beauty. Do you want to drink with us?" One fat man came beside Amelia and grabbed her arm.
Disgusted, Amelia frowned and freed her hand. She asked, her voice filled with disgust, "Who are you?"
"My boss told me to ask you to drink with us. Do you want to come?" The man continued to harass Amelia.
