Chapter 70 The Urge To Have A Baby

"Let's welcome the CEO and his wife with a warm round of applause!" The middle-aged man in front led the applause by getting up enthusiastically and clapping his hands to which the rest followed suit—a round of applause bursting in the room.

The crowd started buzzing amongst themselves. Mostly, they talked about who the mysterious young lady of the Zhan Group was—she was dressed so simply and mostly kept to herself.

"We're so sorry for the short-sightedness that we didn't recognize you. Please accept our apology." A woman came up and bowed to Amelia guiltily.

Amelia immediately pulled her up, frowning. She said sincerely, "I don't mind! It's fine. Don't think about it. It's not a big deal."

Amelia had never wanted to be treated as the superior Mrs. Amelia and she didn't want to be judged for it.

"She is kind and nice. You don't have to be so restrained," after a while, Lucian finally spoke. He dragged her to his side and looked at her affectionately.

"Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia did all the cooking. She even helped us to pick the ingredients and cut the vegetables. You'd be hard-pressed to find such a good wife like her." Perhaps it was Lucian's words that made the women feel a bit more comfortable. They spoke highly of Amelia and seemed sincere in their words.

"Just look at it this way: it's your reward for all your hard work today," Lucian said matter-of-factly as he cast a glance at her.

When Amelia finally nodded in agreement, Lucian couldn't help but tease, "Mrs. Amelia, you're so frugal. For whom should I work so hard then?"

"If Mr. Lucian can't find a way to spend all his money, he can donate it to charity," she answered quickly.

As a matter of fact, since he took over the Zhan Group, he had been active in his philanthropy work.

"You're right. Or we can start planning for a baby," he quipped.

"What did you just say?" Amelia almost choked. She thought she'd misheard him. "A baby?" she repeated incredulously.

How ridiculous!

"Mrs. Amelia is so frugal. We need to have children so I'll be motivated to work so we can provide for them," Lucian answered simply.

Upon noticing the serious look on Lucian's face, Amelia couldn't help but agree—he was right. Bashfully, she asked, "Does this have anything to do with your mother?"

With that, Fannie's face flashed across Amelia's mind which made her shiver in fear.

Upon the mention of Fannie, the look on Lucian's face shifted. In a low voice, he said, "I was just kidding. Let's eat."
