Before Amelia could utter a word, Courtney already hung up.
"Courtney this is..." Amelia was filled with confusion. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She stood up and asked carefully, "Who is it?"
"Amelia, it's me." The soft familiar voice came through the door to Amelia's ear.
Upon hearing the voice, Amelia’s hand trembled as she held the doorknob. Although she wanted to open the door, a burst of panic rose in her heart.
At this moment, she was eager to see him but not because she missed him. As for Amelia, it was the other way around, she wanted to push him away.
After weighing things in her mind, she opened the door and showed herself. Looking at Lucian's face, it was filled with familiar coldness.
"Have you eaten already?" Lucian concernedly asked as he stood in front of her. He did not notice the displeased expression on her face.
In front of the door, Amelia remained standing. As for Lucian, he couldn't move into the house.
"Let me out!" she begged to break the long deafening silence.
At the sight of her pleading eyes, Lucian felt pain in his heart as his eyes narrowed.
"Amelia, don’t be stubborn. Listen to me this time, okay?" he said. Lucian stayed up all night, his eyes turned red due to bloodshot. Tiredness was evident on his face.
The moment Amelia laid her eyes on him, she noticed his face looked exhausted. Eventually, her eyes intertwined with Lucian's eyes.
"Do you feel okay? Are you sick?" Usually, Lucian appeared to be an energetic person but he looked like the opposite today. It was obvious that his energy ran out. In addition, he had bloodshot in his eyes. Earlier, Amelia was in a bad mood, but the winds quickly changed
time when they were still married.
He did not mean to scare Amelia. However, he was shocked when she turned around.
"Have you been there for a long time? When did you wake up?" she said. When Lucian was fast asleep, Amelia thought he would sleep a little longer. Thus, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The moment she turned around, she saw him staring at her quietly, which made her panic.
Feeling sorry, Lucian scratched the back of his head. He noticed that Amelia was holding the dish in her hand, he reached for it and asked, "Are you done? Is the food ready? I'm feeling hungry."
Those words came out of his mouth in a very natural manner, sounding like they were an old married couple who had lived together for more than ten years.
Amelia’s face blushed. Then, she smiled as she handed the food to Lucian and said, "There’s still a soup left. Do not wait for me. You can eat first if you’re hungry."
"No, I'll wait for you," he replied. Amelia mentioned that eating alone was bad for her. On the other hand, Lucian was used to handling himself and taking care of everything, so he did not mind at all. However, after their divorce, he deeply realized the pain of eating alone.
A simple home-cooked dish of meat and a bowl of soup were more than enough for the both of them.
"Go ahead. You should eat plenty to regain your energy." Amelia filled a bowl of rice for Lucian and served him with a smile.
Seeing Amelia wearing a floral apron, a curve formed on Lucian's lips as he felt happiness coming from within.
Amelia noticed the smile on his face and asked curiously, "Why are you smiling?" Undeniably she felt beyond happy when she saw his smile.
