It was more or less a prickly thorn in Courtney's heart. She would feel a devastating pain in her heart if she got to know everything. However, Kent tried hard to stitch up the wound in her heart by all means. As Courtney was recovering from the shock, she was torn apart again because of Melissa.
Melissa was full of anger and dissatisfaction. She was a self-centered woman. She couldn't swallow her anger when she came to know that Courtney pointed at her nose while they were surrounded by others. Melissa couldn't control the situation calmly. Immediately, she picked up the glass bowl on the bar counter and threw it directly at Courtney. There was a splatter of glass on the ground and everyone became silent seeing the shocking incident.
Courtney dodged the bullet subconsciously. But she was still hurt badly.
"Courtney!"
"Courtney! Oh my god!"
Kent and Amelia held Courtney with their hands at that instinct and heard a cry of pain from her throat. Tears rolled down from her eyes and her heart beat got faster.
Melissa was eager to hurt Courtney. The smashing sound of the glass and Courtney's expression out of pain made her smile for just an instant. Soon after that, her eyes met with Kent and she froze with regret. She felt a glitch in her heart and was ashamed of her impulsive behavior.
"I...I didn't mean.. Sorry... I... I didn't mean to... I didn't know that she would be badly hurt." Melissa was so scared that her eyes were wide open and her lips kept trembling with guilt and fear. She knew that everyone around her would have thought how much of a bitch she was. Kent looked at her resentfully and it struck her quite badly.
"Take Courtney to the hospital now! She is bleeding. Right now!" Amelia's face was pale and she didn't bother to respond to Melissa. She wanted to save Courtney and couldn't come out of the immense shock.
The fellow
en the beds were covered with a layer of scarlet paint and the lamps had rustic gold finish. The make-up mirror was exactly the same like the ones in ancient drama sets. The king size wooden bed had a pair of pillows which were neatly arranged on the head of the bed. There were candlesticks on the round table and two candles on the candlesticks. Everything seemed to be like the wedding rooms in the movies. The mansion's style portrayed class and elegance.
Amelia took a look at Lucian and laughed, "It seems to be our wedding night." Her mouth was wide open by seeing the grandeur of his house.
"I think so. Haha!" Lucian said as he looked solemn and charming.
Amelia reminded him nervously, "I'm pregnant now. You can't do anything to me."
Lucian suddenly got excited seeing her nervous. He approached her with a cheerful face and teased, "Don't worry. I'll be careful."
His charming flirtation weakened her breath and she could clearly hear her heart beat.
"Lucian, don't do that!" Amelia pushed him away nervously.
Lucian wanted to continue joking with her, looking at her bare face. He reached out his arms and held her slender waist. He said in a tender voice, "I'm the father of the child. I'm your husband. How could I hurt you and the child?"
Amelia shivered listening to Lucian's words when he came closer to her. She glared at him and warned, "You'd better be careful when you sleep at night. Otherwise, you can sleep on the sofa." Amelia turned from a calm bird to an ordering parent in a second. She gave an order to Lucian for the first time.
"What? Mrs. Amelia is frightening." Lucian gave an evil smile and continued to tease her. But his evilness was intriguing.
Amelia was used to him being disrespectful in front of her. So she just smiled lightly.
She felt shy to admit that she couldn't sleep well without Lucian by her side at night.
