Chapter 136 Refused To Get Back Together

"Nicholas, did you hear that? He's your son!" Fannie pointed at Lucian, trying to find some comfort from Nicholas.

"I already told you—they're all grown up now. You have to stop interfering with their lives." Instead of siding with Fannie, Nicholas stood up for Lucian.

"Yeah, Fannie. They're not kids anymore. We need to leave them alone and allow them to make their own decisions," Emma echoed. Emma sighed as she tried to comfort Fannie.

However, Fannie didn't seem to be convinced. In her mind, Emma and Nicholas were only siding with each other for Fiona's sake. Otherwise, they wouldn't be indulging Lucian like this.

"What? In the end, your daughter's going to be left alone and abandoned!" Fannie snapped, deliberately provoking Emma.

Fannie regularly had afternoon tea with Shelly in the Zhan mansion. Every now and then, Shelly would mention Emma and the hatefulness in her tone was undeniable. Fannie decided to use this against Emma—weaponizing her weakness in an attempt to drive a wedge between her and her daughter.

"I'll be sending the divorce papers over to you soon. Take care of yourself." Lucian had already learned from the doctor about Shelly's condition. The doctor said that it was nothing serious and she could be discharged after a week of rest.

Shelly's face turned pale. She couldn't believe this was happening and she refused to accept it. She cried, "Lucian, you can't do this to me! I'm never going to divorce you! Never!"

As soon as Lucian stepped out of the ward, he heaved a huge sigh of relief. With that, he

houldn't you be together?" Courtney couldn't understand where Amelia was coming from.

"Do you think I would still love a man who doesn't know how to take his responsibilities seriously?" Amelia smiled coldly.

The indifference in her tone broke Lucian's heart. Still, on the outside, he kept his composure.

"Stop talking nonsense." Courtney pulled Amelia aside and whispered, "Even if you're not thinking about yourself, you have to think about the baby. You want to be a single mom? You sure about that? Isn't that unfair to your baby? You've decided the course of his entire life before he could even choose for himself."

Once Courtney mentioned the baby, Amelia immediately softened. That was her weakness—the baby.

She didn't want her baby to have a broken family. Now that it's come to this point, she was finding it difficult to decide and she didn't want to be selfish.

"I know you still have your doubts and I promise you I'll spend my entire life asking for your forgiveness. Will you consider then getting back together with me?" Lucian offered sincerely.

"All right. It's a deal." Amelia looked up at him coldly.

"I'm a man of my word," Lucian answered confidently.

As Courtney stood beside them, watching them with her furrowed eyebrows, she couldn't help but be frustrated. They were just about to make up and now they weren't again?

After Lucian left, Courtney walked up to Amelia and asked in confusion, "Why are you so stubborn? Lucian's been trying to repair your relationship and I think you're just being cruel to him."
