Chapter 150 I Want A Daughter

Lucian made a mental note of everything the doctor had said about Amelia's pregnancy. When the doctor reminded her to keep a good mood, he specially gave a long and lingering look at his wife.

From his eyes, Amelia could only feel the depth of Lucian's love and she basked in its warmth.

After the doctor left, he asked Lily to bring Amelia some soup so she could eat. He took the bowl from Lily's hands and started feeding her himself.

Amelia didn't mention why she was sad that afternoon, but Lucian had already guessed the reason.

Vernon had called him to ask about the project funds but he flatly refused. Consequently, Vernon became furious and vented his anger on Amelia. Lucian didn't expect that he would do this. He just couldn't take it well.

"Did Lily tell you?" Amelia asked as Lucian was tenderly blowing on a spoonful of hot soup.

Despite feeling depressed because of Vernon's words, Amelia took comfort in Lucian's presence.

Lucian fetched a basin of warm water and began wiping Amelia's face with the damp towel. After that, he took another doting look at her and said, "Fortunately, she did tell me. Did you really plan on keeping that to yourself and suffering alone?"

His face was so close to hers that Amelia felt his warm breath on her cheeks. She was so moved by his words that she couldn't keep her tears from falling.

"Alright, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scold you. I just feel hurt when you keep these things from me. You're always taking on everything by yourself. It's like you don't even trust me," Lucian apologiz

ven against Shelly.

But destiny had other plans.

"It's the start of another sales season. You must be very busy with the Sales Department nowadays?" Amelia asked. She was not aware that Sasha was no longer affiliated with Zhan Group.

Since Amelia brought it up, Sasha thought to tell her everything.

"Thank you for your concern, Amelia, but I'm no longer with Zhan Group. Even if I do want to go back, I'm pretty sure Lucian won't give me a chance," Sasha sighed. She then looked at her and begged, "Amelia, everyone knows that I did very well when I was with Zhan Group. I really want to go back. Do you think you can put in a good word for me with Lucian?"

Amelia frowned. Requests like this always made her uncomfortable. She had no idea how to reply.

"Please! I won't put you in a difficult position, I promise. I just worry about Lucian. He would definitely go against me getting hired," Sasha said while trying to hold back tears.

Despite feeling flustered, Amelia tried to comfort her, "Don't worry about it, Miss Sasha. You know that Zhan Group's recruitment process only considers one's work performance. And since you've always put out stellar work, I'm sure that you won't need any special help. You'd definitely get in."

Her answer was smart and reasonable.

Sasha was surprised to hear Amelia's very wise words. She had always thought of her as a simple, soft-hearted girl who did as everyone told her. Hearing Amelia turn down her request, she thought that she had matured in her own way. Sasha couldn't help but admire her a bit.
