Chapter 100 Jonny Hasn't Been Treating You Well

"Wouldn't Lucian think it unusual that you and Jonny are living apart like this?" Courtney asked the question that Amelia feared the most.

She had already made a decision regarding this. She didn't think that it was a good idea to continue staying at Jonny's villa so she moved out. She only had thoughts about working hard for her and her baby's future.

"We may not be living together but we're still a couple," Amelia confessed.

"Sometimes, I really don't get what goes on in your head, Amelia. To be honest, it would've been better for you to have stayed with Jonny than live alone like this. You always surprise me by doing things first and only telling me afterwards when the deed is done." Courtney sighed at the end of the line. She added, "It's not wrong to choose to be independent. Look at Kent! He once promised me a bright future together, and look at what happened? He's a father now, just like that!"

Courtney hadn't mentioned Kent in a while and Amelia thought that she had already gotten over him. Hearing her talk about him again made Amelia realize that Courtney had only been pretending to be strong, when in fact, her heart had clearly not forgotten him.

"Just try to look ahead, Courtney. Better things will come," said Amelia, sounding optimistic. But she did believe in her heart that better things were in store for her friend.

Just like Courtney and Kent, she and Lucian could never go back to the way they were. Shelly dropped by that day to make Amelia cut off all contact

d she only started work this morning.

"Is it so wrong for me to be working?" She wanted him to stop asking questions about her life. She didn't wish to involve him in her decisions anymore.

"Amelia, we used to be a couple so I couldn't help but care. Even if I don't want to, I still worry about you!" His tone was indifferent but his words betrayed his honest feelings.

Amelia was caught off guard by his passionate declaration. Her pretend calmness was beginning to fade, leaving her thoughts in turmoil. She was losing control over her emotions.

"Mr. Lucian, I don't want to see you again. If you value our relationship before, please stay out of my life," she pleaded.

Gloom fell over Lucian's face. He only looked at her in silence. He didn't withdraw his gaze until he saw that Amelia was starting to look anxious and fearful.

"Even smart people make stupid decisions, Amelia, especially when they insist on doing things by themselves," Lucian said flatly.

Amelia trembled in fear. She looked at him and asked in disbelief, "What do you know?"

Did he know why she moved out of Jonny's place?

"Are you scared?" Lucian bent down and stared her in the eyes. His look was electric and Amelia couldn't muster the courage to look away. She was being drawn in, lost in his gaze.

Amelia's heart was beating louder and faster. She was sweating out of nervousness. But she reminded herself that she couldn't tell him the truth. Even if Lucian knew about the baby, she had to deny everything.
