Chapter 151 Stay With Me

It was the middle of the night. Moonlight gently illuminated the white walls of SJ Garden, and a dreamlike haze enveloped Amelia's surroundings. The fragrance of various flowers in the backyard wafted in the air as she sat at the desk, working out how well the milk tea shop had done this month.

She had fallen asleep when Lucian returned from a business dinner.

Upon entering the bedroom, the first thing that he noticed was Amelia slumped over her desk. He made his way toward her and took the pen that she had been too tired to put down. He picked her up. She was lighter than she appeared to be. Carefully, he carried her over to the bed.

Even though he had been busy the entire day and was exhausted by that point, seeing Amelia took all of that away.

She was now six months pregnant. Still, Lucian could not help but notice that her skin remained smooth. She had also gained some baby fat. He looked at her fondly as she slept. Her face was no longer as pale as it had been in the past. The pregnancy had blessed her with a ruddy complexion. In Lucian's eyes, she looked younger and even lovelier.

He silently studied her for a while, gently kissing her on the lips afterward. Then, he got up and returned to the desk. Seeing that she had fallen asleep computing her milk tea shop's income, he felt speechless.

'When you were a student, did you sleep during your math classes?' he thought, amused.

He proceeded to take care of the calculations that Amelia hadn't worked out. Looking at her delicate handwriting, L

You're right. Let me ask you something instead. Earlier, the Zhan Group was in a big mess. At that time, she decided to divorce Lucian and stayed with Jonny. Now, it's true that Lucian and Amelia are living together, but are you sure that it's Lucian's baby?" She glanced at the direction of the kitchen to make sure that Amelia hadn't heard anything.

"Nonsense!" Nicholas yelled. Then, he took a deep breath and said quietly, "Amelia choosing to divorce Lucian was temporary. You know better, Fannie. I've gotten used to you being ungrateful, but now, you've resorted to slander. Do you think this is appropriate for someone at your age?"

He had always hoped that Fannie would set aside her prejudices against Amelia, but now he was losing hope.

"After the baby is born, you'll know whether I'm lying or not. Women nowadays are more sensible, so don't blame me for saying something like that ever again," Fannie said, not backing down. It hadn't become easier for her to accept Amelia. She spoke with obvious disgust, which Nicholas clearly saw.

However, he would rather get mad at himself than listen to more of Fannie's nonsense.

"Nicholas, I've been part of the Zhan family for many years. Now that Lucian has grown up, our company is only becoming better and better. I do not require much. Give me five percent of the shares so that I have something to depend on." Noticing that Nicholas was no longer speaking, she thought that her words had worked on him. She was confident now that she was going to benefit from this.
