Chapter 83 Everyone Has An Ex

Filled with embarrassment and left with nothing to say, Jasper covered his face with his fingers and gave a glance at Amelia. Then he asked her in a frigid voice, "Amelia, should we rent the house we rented before?"

Amelia suddenly stopped peeling the orange that she was about to eat. She looked at Jasper with a puzzled look and thought to herself, 'Why would he bring up the past right now? And why did he include me in his plans?'

This made Amelia subconsciously look at Lucian and saw that he was still drinking his tea as usual. Lucian noticed Amelia glaring at him. He then smiled at her and said, "I'll go to your bedroom to rest, also so that you two can talk clearly."

"What?" Amelia asked. She didn't expect that Lucian would just stand up and leave her alone with Jasper. This made her wonder if he was angry at her.

"Has the landlord returned the 2000 dollars he owed you?" Jasper timidly asked right after Lucian left. His eyes looked around anxiously.

Amelia felt amused but still chose to show a straight face. She didn't expect Jasper to ask about the money. But at the same time, it was a good thing that she didn't have to owe him anything anymore.

"How about give me your Alipay account? I'll give it to you when I come home later," Amelia bluntly replied.

Upon hearing this, Jasper's face frowned. He pleaded with Amelia. "I'm tight on money right now, can you please lend me some?"

She remembered Jasper as a man who was always full of excitement and vigor. But now, as a man who borrowed money without any hesitation.

Amelia's straight face turned into a dismissive one then she replied, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jasper. I can't be of any help to you." She didn't mind if people thought of her as an overly prudent woman nor as a person that didn

dy to start a new relationship.

"He's a year younger than me, but he acts very maturely. He behaves like a gentleman and I think he has a good impression of me," Courtney explained while blushing and trying to hide her embarrassment.

"So you mean there's a chance?" Amelia asked. Amelia's excitement surpassed her best friends. She held Courtney's hands and said, "If you think there's a chance, try to date him for a while. He may be your Mr. Right!"

Courtney thought of her friend's encouraging words and nodded. She couldn't hide her happiness and said, "You're right! If I don't explore the world, how can I encounter the wonderful things it has to offer."

Amelia's happiness for her friend left her speechless. She held just Courtney's hands.

At noon, Amelia went to the kitchen and prepared lunch for them. When she had finished, she called Courtney to the table. While Courtney was eating on the side, Amelia went upstairs to tell Lucian that lunch was ready.

The door of the study was half open. Amelia politely knocked on the door. But she couldn't help herself to look through the slight gap of the door. She saw Lucian even from a faraway hastily trying to collect envelopes.

This kind of situation had already happened three times.

She pretended not to see it and said, "Lucian, it's time for lunch."

Lucian stood up and walked towards Amelia. He hugged her tightly and softly uttered the words, "Thank you for your hard work."

Amelia shook her head in embarrassment. Though she wanted to stay in his embrace longer, it was not nice to leave Courtney alone downstairs. So she told Lucian, "Let's go. The food is ready."

"Wow, you're such a good cook, Amelia!" Courtney praised Amelia and then told Lucian, "You're so lucky you married Amelia!"
