She was so busy that she didn't even have the time to have dinner. When she saw Lucian open the food box, a feeling of warmth coursed through her heart. This made her stomach grumble so she walked towards Lucian and looked through the food in the box.
"I haven't had dinner either. We can have dinner together." He just wanted to have a meal with Amelia without all the guilt. For just a while, he wanted to be with her and be happy.
After dinner, Lucian and Eric sat at their seats outside the shop. They seemed to be talking about business while Amelia was calculating the net profit of the whole day.
"Why haven't you come back yet?" Amelia raised her head again, only to find that Eric had left already and Lucian was quietly watching her.
"Why are you calculating by hand?" Lucian had grabbed her notepad in which Amelia was writing on. At that moment, he looked truly captivating.
"Give it back!" Amelia frowned as she tried to get her notepad back.
She was bad at math so she always felt like her calculations were wrong.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I can't believe my wife is so stupid! I worry about our unborn son's IQ," Lucian taunted her, grinning playfully.
Amelia wasn't offended. If anything, she felt butterflies fluttering in her stomach. On the outside though, she made sure she was still composed.
After making a mistake with one of her calculations, Lucian headed to the bar counter and powered up the computer. He began typing quickly—classifying the drink
, he had placed an altar under Iris's portrait along with a few offerings. Amelia bowed three times to the altar before restlessly pacing around her room.
The villa had three bedrooms and a baby room that contained a lot of toys.
Amelia was a bit taken aback upon seeing this. 'Was this Lucian's doing?' she wondered to herself.
The baby room was painted two colors: light blue and pink. It looked absolutely magnificent.
The loneliness she felt a moment ago was all gone as it had been replaced by warmth and appreciation for Lucian's kindness.
She didn't expect that Lucian would do all of these for her and the baby.
When she thought back to how cold and indifferent she was towards him, regret arose in her heart.
Clutching one of the toys to her chest, her face lit up with joy. "Baby, your dad bought all these for you. That's how much he loves you. I can't wait to meet you."
"Call me if you need anything or if something happens," Lucian's words echoed in her mind. He had hired several people to guard the villa from the outside.
These days were filled with uncertainty and conflict. With this in mind, Lucian wanted to be sure that Amelia was safe.
"Mr. Lucian, you don't have to worry. We assure you that we will protect Miss Amelia." Four men in black suits stood by the door, occupying each side.
It was already midnight and the lights in the villa had already been shut off. He didn't want Amelia to know that he had hired people to monitor her.
