Chapter 75 Lucian Didn't Come Back Overnight

"Mrs. Amelia, you like lilies too!" Lily said excitedly as she walked over and immediately caught a whiff of the scent of the lilies. "Back in our hometown, we have a valley that was filled with lilies. I used to play there all the time and I'd always pick a bunch of lilies to take home with me."

"Really? If it's possible, I'd like to visit your hometown one of these days," Amelia replied happily.

The ever observant Lily couldn't help but notice that there were exactly 11 lilies. She couldn't help but ask in curiosity, "Eleven flowers symbolize your one true love for the rest of your life. Is this for Mr. Lucian?"

At the mention of Lucian, Amelia's hand froze as she was organizing the flowers. That wasn't her intention at all. She just happened to randomly pick 11 lilies.

"What can we cook for dinner? I'm so hungry." Amelia decided to change the subject.

Lily didn't press anymore. Instead, she merrily said, "Mr. Lucian cares about you so much, Mrs. Amelia. He called to tell me to cook dinner for you since you were on your way home already. I actually thought you were coming home together."

Lily then started serving Amelia some rice.

"So Lucian had already called you before I came home?" Amelia asked in surprise.

Thinking of Lucian going on a date with Sasha put Amelia in a foul mood.

"I didn't think you'd come home for dinner, Mrs. Amelia. I only started cooking after Mr. Lucian called me," Lily replied frankly.

During dinner, Amelia was lost in her thoughts. She wondered how Lucian knew where she was. Could

e grabbed a paper towel to clean up the small mess she made. When she threw the paper down on the waste basket, she kept her face hidden in an attempt to hide the panic that was written all over it.

"Eric, please go to the canteen and get breakfast for two people," Lucian said plainly. He wore a beige suit which fit him well. He then walked over to Amelia and asked in concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Amelia couldn't help but be moved—still, that didn't change the fact that he didn't come home.

'I didn't sleep well because of you,' she thought to herself. But how could she say that out loud?

"I fell asleep around eight but I woke up in the middle of the night and I wasn't able to fall back asleep." She tried to explain for herself in a way that showed she didn't really care about him.

Lucian gazed at her, a strange look on his face. The corners of his lips curved into a sort of smirk.

Amelia ignored this look on his face as she offered, "Would you like some coffee?" She knew he always had coffee in the morning.

"Yes," he said coldly as he took off his coat. He then unbuttoned the two top buttons of his shirt before sitting behind his desk.

The heater was on which made the office warm—a nice change to the cold weather outside.

Lucian looked especially handsome in his suit. He looked aristocratic and elegant—more than he usually did.

After Amelia finished preparing his coffee, Eric knocked on the door and entered. He said simply, "Mr. Lucian, breakfast is ready. Please move to the next room for it."
