Chapter 142 Confession Of Love

"You're just jealous!" Lucian snapped in a harsh voice. There was an undertone of playfulness in his voice despite his words.

Amelia had never seen Lucian speak to Jonny that way. But Lucian's words and manner seemed to have no effect on Jonny. He wasn't mad at all. Instead of saying something back to Lucian, Jonny turned to Amelia and said, "Amelia, I really wanted to come and see you as soon as possible, but he didn't let me because he was afraid that I would steal his thunder and get more of your attention."

Jonny gave a mischievous smile.

"Since when did you two become so ridiculous?" Amelia asked with a slight smile. She was visibly amused by the way that they spoke and jested with each other.

"Lucian may sound gutsy sometimes, but the truth is that he is a very shy person inside," Jonny remarked. He took the opportunity to make another verbal swing at Lucian to the amusement of Amelia.

Lucian knew that Jonny was only cheering Amelia up with his words so he didn't reply back. He felt glad when he saw the smile on Amelia's face as well as the sound of her light giggle.

Amelia didn't say anything but she was smiling and had started to giggle. She then turned to Lucian who was peeling an apple for her, her eyes filled with love, and asked, "So, when did you learn this skill?"

He may not know how to properly wash the dishes, but he surely had a skill with peeling fruit.

Her words sounded like she was flattering Lucian. Lucian glanced at Jonny proudly then said to Amelia, "I'm quite amazing, aren't I? Do you want to reward me with a sweet kiss?"

His eyes closed slightly as he faced Amelia and waited for her to kiss him.

Jonny felt embarrassed and said, "Lucian, how could you show us that face? It's disgusting!" He then burst into a thunderous laugh.

"Jon... Mr. Jonny, please don't worry. I would never act like him," Amelia remarked with a serious tone of voice. The amused smile on her face slightly faded away and was replaced by a slightly playful smile.

She almost addressed Jonny by name only and she felt bothered. She remembered her p

n said in a soft voice, "Lucian, I'm almost fully recovered. You can take care of the affairs at the company now."

Lucian was touched by Amelia's words. He kissed Amelia's forehead and then replied in his usual husky voice, "I'll be back as soon as I finish. There is something that requires my immediate attention."

Lily's face blushed with embarrassment as she watched the two lovers. She sat at the opposite side of Amelia and bowed her head. Lucian stood up, straightened himself and took his suit jacket on his way out of the bedroom. After Lucian had gone, Lily turned to Amelia and said, "Mr. Lucian really loves you so much, Mrs. Amelia.

You're really the only woman for him." Amelia felt very happy when she heard Lily's compliment. Her face suddenly radiated with the happiness that she felt.

Lucian went straight to his car after he left SJ Garden and drove straight to the Zhan mansion.

Darren told Lucian on the phone that Nicholas was seriously ill and asked him to go back to the mansion as soon as possible. Lucian was not able to say much on the phone and decided to go there right away. He decided that it was best to conceal everything from Amelia so that she would not become worried. So he put on his usual face even though worry was eating at his heart.

He immediately left his car as soon as he arrived at the Zhan mansion. He went straight to Nicholas' bedroom when he got into the house. When he reached the bedroom, he saw Nicholas lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He kept murmuring 'Fiona' again and again even though he was visibly having a hard time breathing.

Lucian knew that Fiona was his mother's name.

"Dad, it's me, Lucian. How do you feel?" Lucian asked as he gripped Nicholas' hand with both of his hands. He sat at the edge of Nicholas' bed and then turned to the doctor who stood at the opposite side of the bed. "How is he?" he asked the doctor with pleading eyes.

"Mr. Lucian; Mr. Nicholas' blood pressure spiked up to a very dangerous level. I suspect that something severely distressed him," the doctor explained in a worried voice.
