‘What an exaggeration!’ Amelia thought to herself. Amelia was so embarrassed that she just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. In an attempt to conceal her embarrassment, she put food into Courtney's bowl and urged her to eat quickly.
"You're right," Lucian agreed with Courtney, smiling.
This wasn't to say that Amelia refused to accept the compliments. She just couldn't handle it in front of Lucian. She always blushed which was embarrassing. On the inside though, her heart was jumping in joy.
"By the way, Lucian, I have a question for you and it's pretty straightforward." Courtney suddenly became serious, raising her red wine glass.
Amelia couldn't help but feel scared at what Courtney was going to say.
"Go ahead. I'll tell you what I know." Lucian also raised his glass.
"Good. Cheers!" Courtney drank all the wine in her glass in one gulp. Then she flashed Amelia a mysterious smile before saying, "I heard from Amelia that you two... That you two don't have a close relationship yet."
Courtney thought that she'd get some courage if she downed all her wine but it didn't work as well as she thought it would.
Amelia immediately knew what Courtney meant. Her face flushing, she hurriedly chimed in, "What are you talking about? I bet it's just the wine talking."
Courtney wasn't as hesitant now. She stared at Amelia and added, "You really are an idiot. If I don't step in to help you, you wouldn't do anything!"
Amelia was so
her best to coax him into giving her the photos.
Unexpectedly, Lucian shamelessly said, "Don't worry. I'll collect all of them and enjoy them myself."
Amelia gritted her teeth as she stomped on Lucian's foot.
Lucian wasn't able to dodge so he grimaced in pain.
Amelia then grabbed the chance to escape from Lucian's grip. She moved to the side and gloated as she watched Lucian wince in pain.
Upon seeing her gloat, Lucian seemed to have come up with an idea. Frowning, he pretended to cry. "You can just tell me you know. You don't need to be so violent. My feet are probably so swollen now."
Never in his wildest dreams did he think that he would have to act like a weak, little girl for whatever reason.
Upon seeing Lucian so upset, Amelia anxiously rushed towards him. She got on her knees and said in guilt, "Sorry, I... I didn't mean to..."
Lucian felt warm in his heart when he saw how concerned Amelia was. He continued, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't hurt anyway." With that, he bit his lower lip as if he was trying to look like he was tolerating the pain.
"How can you say it doesn't hurt? Take off your shoes. I'll go and see if there are any medicines you can take." Amelia then tried to help Lucian take off his shoes. She still looked anxious as she did.
Not wanting her to cry, Lucian flashed her a grin. "Don't worry. I was just bluffing you."
He stood up, jumped a few times in front of Amelia to prove that his feet were fine.
