Chapter 77 Drunk In A Bar

Only when Amelia was left alone in the spacious office did she collapse on the ground weakly. At that moment, she remembered the last thing Lucian told her.

‘Because of Jonny, he...’ The more Amelia thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her tears slowly rolled down her cheeks into the hard floor as her heart ached.

That day, Amelia couldn’t concentrate. She had a lot of things to attend to, but she couldn't bring herself to do them. Because of that, she resigned to spending the whole day inside her office. When lunch time came around and Eric came to her office to ask her out, she quickly came up with an excuse not to go. "I’ve already ordered mine online," she lied. Having not slept last night, she decided to get some rest. By the time she woke up, it was already dark outside.

She silently fumbled for the phone beside her table. ‘Seven o’clock in the evening,’ she thought, surprised by how her day just came and went. It also surprised her that she missed two calls from Lily.

Slowly, she got up and proceeded to turn on all the lights in the office. As she was looking around the room, a thought suddenly occurred in her head. ‘Should I go back to the SJ Garden?’ she thought gloomily. ‘Because if I don’t go back... where will I go?’

Courtney, when she broke up with Kent, decided to stay at her parents’ mansion for days, refusing to see anyone. Her case was a tad bit different from that, however. If she went back to her parents‘ house, she would definitely be laughed at by Sophia.

As Amelia left the Zhan Group’s building, she felt the quietness all around her. She walked along the dark road not knowing where to go. Her only companions were the distant neon lights, but they did not give her any comfort. She felt more alone than ever before, an indescribable feeling of sadness raging inside her.

‘Did Lucian really get angry this time? Is that why he didn't call me?’ When she caught herself having these thoughts, she sneered. "Hey, Amelia," she said with a firm voice. "You were right. You do not have any reason to be upset, so stop it."

Her phone rang not long after she left. Seeing that it was a stranger's number, she hung up.

When the chilly wind blew, she shivered. It made her r

n as they could be. Amelia knew him to be like that, and so seeing him act like this was surprising to her.

Lucian ignored Amelia’s questions. Instead, he just pointed at the remaining stone steps and said, "There are too many steps left. Wanna let me lead you?"

At this point, she started becoming confused as to why Lucian brought her to this place. She was incredibly tired, but considering that she was already halfway through, she didn't want to give up. ‘And besides, I’m kind of having so much fun with Lucian today,’ she thought, smiling.

She didn’t want to admit that, but she couldn’t deny it.

Staring at Lucian's fair and obviously strong hands, she could not say no. With a sigh, she reached out and held his hand.

The moment her hand touched his, a surge of electricity went down her spine. It was something she could not explain, but she welcomed it with all of her heart.

They trekked the slope together, and after some tiring minutes, they reached the peak of the mountain. Amelia looked around the green scenery and it took her breath away. "This is... incredible!" she breathlessly said. The view was stunning and the air was fresh. She was ecstatic.

"Come here," Lucian invited affectionately. Amelia walked closer to him, and together, they walked towards a tombstone.

There were no words on the tombstone, except for a black and white photo. In the photo was a woman who was smiling gently. Upon closer look, she realized that she looked a lot like Lucian.

"Mom, this is my wife," Lucian gently said. "I mentioned her to you yesterday. I promised that I would bring her to you, and now, here she is." The smile that was on Lucian’s face was something that Amelia had never seen on him.

Aside from that, she was caught off guard by what she had heard. If the woman on the gravestone was Lucian's mother, who was Fannie?

Despite her mind being a mess at that moment, she was not absent-minded. With respect, she bowed to the beautiful woman on the tombstone and whispered, "Mom."

"Mom, don't worry. Amelia and I will live happily for the rest of our whole lives." Lucian’s eyes were sparkling as he promised to the beautiful woman on the tombstone that he and Amelia would live happily forever.
