Chapter 121 Almost Shamed By Others

Amelia blushed in embarrassment. She felt Lucian's eyes on her before he left. When she looked up again, he was gone already.

Afternoon had already come and the sun was up, giving her a bit of warmth.

"Amelia, you don't really have to push Lucian away because he genuinely loves you." Despite Carlotta not knowing the real reason behind Amelia and Lucian's separation, she could tell how much Lucian loved Amelia based on his actions alone.

"Carlotta, come in and have a seat!" Amelia decided to change the topic since she really wasn't in the mood to talk about Lucian.

"You should definitely rest at home first before going back to work," Carlotta said in a worried tone—wisely taking the hint that Amelia wanted to change the topic already.

Amelia couldn't help but be moved at how concerned Carlotta was for her. Carlotta even went to find Shelly for revenge on her behalf. Carlotta was acting as if she was family to Amelia and that was very touching.

Amelia agreed. She had intended to invite Carlotta inside the house but Carlotta still had to prepare for a meeting that afternoon.

Perhaps it was the change in weather or her pregnancy but Amelia fell asleep as soon as she arrived home. When she woke up, it was already evening. She went to the living room only to find that the house was completely dark save for the dim lights that were turned on in the yard.

It was already

hing she could do now was hope that Lucian would show up soon.

After getting the call from Amelia, Lucian quickly drove to her home.

Just when he was a few turns away from Amelia's place, he saw a sign for road rescue. Irritated, he made a turn and decided to change routes.

With that, Lucian decided to call Amelia and make sure that she was still safe.

He dialed the number but no one answered.

This made him worry even more so he slammed his foot on the gas pedal, speeding off.

Amelia wanted to answer her phone but the bearded man blocked her.

"You stay quiet and get in bed! No one's going to come rescue you tonight! You're all mine!" The bearded man had shut off Amelia's phone.

Amelia felt as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest. As much as she wanted to fight back, she couldn't because she had to think of the baby.

The man threw her phone aside and approached Amelia, an evil smile on his face.

"You keep still!" Amelia trembled with fear, her back sweating profusely.

"Dinner's served. Who could say no to a dish that's already been served on the table?" The bearded man approached Amelia. In fear, Amelia tried to turn to the side but he had already pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, "Well, aren't you stubborn? I'm going to kill you if you move!"

When he had finished speaking, he eyed Amelia maliciously, ready to pounce on her.
