After Mrs. Chen left the kitchen, Amelia took a deep breath, regained her composure and focused on cooking.
"Amelia, I have to admit that I was surprised that you could cook so well at such a young age." Mrs. Chen complimented Amelia’s cooking when she smelled the flavorful aroma of the dishes.
In that moment, Amelia got an excessive amount of praise for her cooking. However, in the back of her mind she couldn’t help thinking about Lucian.
Her heart wondered if he had eaten or not...
"Mr. Lucian, you haven’t eaten your breakfast. Smoking would have a negative effect on your health." Pushing the lunch box forward, Eric whispered in Lucian’s ear, "Miss Sasha prepared this soup for you. Would you like to have some first?"
Showing no interest, Lucian did not even raised his head to look at the lunch box. He continued dealing with the documents then words escaped his mouth, "Just express my gratitude to Miss. Sasha. I would drink some when I’m free."
Eric knew that Lucian said that without interest, but he was afraid that his words might enraged him. So he simply nodded and agreed.
"Eric, how did it go? Did Lucian taste my soup?" The moment Eric walked out of the office, Sasha had been waiting at the door. She quickly walked up to him and asked anxiously about the result.
Then he sighed and shook his head. "Mr. Lucian asked me to express his gratitude to you on his behalf." He let out a deep breath, as Lucian didn't have enough sleep or even eat properly every day due to the course of his busy work.
"So, Lucian did not bother to have a taste?" Sasha opened her eyes wide. She was shocked for some time, and afterward angrily stated, "Everything was Amelia's fault! She was really an attention seeker from the start. She humiliated Lucian!"
"Miss Sasha, this has nothing to do with
But on the second thought, she remembered that she was not welcomed as her daughter-in-law. So her mother-in-law should have been happy that about the divorce.
"I wouldn't have shown up if it weren't for what happened this morning," Amelia replied. The moment she heard the news, Amelia couldn't help but ran towards them.
"I am pretty sure you would come." After flashing a gloating smile, she then cast a cold glance at Amelia and said, "Lucian is your weakness, and you are his. If you can make him hate you, then the Zhan Group will have a slim chance of survival."
Never in her wildest dreams did Amelia imagined that the Zhan Group's existence would have anything to do with her.
Seeing Amelia went downstairs, Lucian said to Nicholas, "Dad, we're leaving now."
As a sign of respect, Amelia did a small curtsy to him as well. The moment she turned around, Nicholas called out her attention, "Amelia, you are a very good girl."
The words he said touched the softest part of her heart. Her eyes were full of tears. After a few moment she smiled and said, "Dad, always take care of yourself."
Perhaps, this would be the last time she called him dad. This moment might be considered as their farewell to each other.
After coming out of the Zhan mansion, Lucian got hold her hand then he forcibly dragged her into his arms. Before senses could hit her, Lucian's lips covered hers fiercely...
All her sadness suddenly vanished because of his actions toward her. Tears started to roll down her cheeks and eventually covered her whole face.
Tears flowed on their lips, Lucian stopped kissing her. He held her beautiful face then he felt as if knives were piercing through his heart.
"Why did you leave without a saying a word?" The originally angry questioning turned to a gentle one filled with love.
