Amelia didn't want anything to do with Lucian anymore, but she couldn't help herself but fall for his gentle demeanor. She felt like there was no escape in this senseless struggle.
Lucian looked around with a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were clear. The anger that he felt earlier seemed to have disappeared.
"We only have cakes and pastries to eat here. If you're hungry, you can have lunch in the building opposite of here. They sell meals over there," Amelia stated out of nowhere. She thought he might be hungry. She couldn't help herself to care for Lucian.
Upon seeing her caring nature once again, Lucian joyfully smiled. He looked at the clock and said, "There's still an hour left before you go back to work. We still have enough time to go out and eat lunch together."
Not only did Lucian know where Amelia worked, but he also knew her daily schedule.
"You can go ahead and eat. I still need to clean up here," Amelia replied.
"Let me help you then," Lucian offered. Lucian suddenly snatched the rag from Amelia's hand and immediately started to wipe the table.
Amelia was shocked by what he did. She wondered why Lucian would do such a thing.
"Aren't you busy with your family business, Mr. Lucian?" Amelia woefully asked with a frown on her face.
"You traded our marriage for the Zhan Group. Of course, I'm busy." Lucian blurted out those words, but quickly realized that he shouldn't have.
Lucian thought that saying those kinds of things would only make the burden that Amelia was carrying, much more heavier. He felt extremely regretful.
Hearing Lucian's words left Amelia speechless. It made her remember the inexplicable grievances that she tried so hard to for
up with a hairpin. She looked simple but elegant.
"Good afternoon, please take a seat," Amelia uttered. Carlotta looked at Lucian with a gentle smile on her face.
"Uh..." Amelia didn't know what to tell Carlotta.
"Hello, I'm Amelia's ex-husband. Your store looks wonderful and has quite a unique style. I'm sure a lot of customers usually love to spend their time here." Lucian calmly introduced himself.
"Ex-husband?" Carlotta repeated in disbelief. Carlotta thought that Lucian seemed quite sly for immediately changing the topic after introducing himself as Amelia's ex-husband.
She raised her eyebrows and looked to Amelia to confirm if it was true.
Full of embarrassment from what he said, Amelia glared at Lucian.
"Well then, thank you for coming to One Meter Sunshine!" Carlotta joyfully said and reached out her hand.
Lucian shook hands with Carlotta and thanked her for warmly welcoming him. He then turned to look at Amelia and asked softly, "Miss Carlotta, can I also shake hands with Miss Amelia?"
Although it was quite a polite request, Amelia sensed that Lucian had other motives with that.
She was worried about what Lucian might try to do. She was in no mood to be teased right now.
In a moment's hesitation, she immediately felt Lucian's warm large hands grab her own. She then looked up and suddenly met Lucian's loving gaze. Her heart was up in knots. Her nervousness made it hard for her to breath.
"Ahem, if you two continue to be some love birds, I might have to go and visit the other branches first," Carlotta teasingly said. Carlotta then walked out of the shop and left on her bicycle.
"Carlotta!" Amelia shouted, but Carlotta was already too far to hear her.
