Chapter 155 They Quarreled Again

"You met her yesterday?" Lucian was obviously shocked. He went to ask, "Did she do anything to you? Did she say anything hurtful again?"

Seeing Lucian's nervous expression, Amelia understood that the memory of her being abducted the last time was still fresh in his mind.

"She didn't say anything." Amelia shook her head and said, "If you don't want to go inside, we can visit dad."

"Okay, let's go back to Zhan mansion," Lucian said as he tried to control his own emotions. Amelia knew that Lucian only thought about what was good for her and she didn't want him to worry over nothing. She thought that visiting his father would take Lucian's mind off things.

Nicholas was practicing Chinese calligraphy in the study when they arrived at Zhan mansion. Hearing the knock on the door, he raised his head and saw Lucian at the door. His face lit up at the sight of him. He asked, "Aren't you busy today? You're early."

"I'm not busy these days. Amelia and I just dropped by after getting our wedding pictures taken." Lucian walked up to Nicholas and saw the Chinese characters written on the huge parchment. He praised his father, "Your calligraphy has always been amazing! I can never quite do it like you."

Getting recognized by his son made Nicholas so happy. He put aside his brush and ink and pointed at a piece of calligraphy he had just finished. He said, "An ideal marriage is divinely arranged. This is my gift to you and Amelia."

Perhaps because he enjoyed the same hobby, Vernon agreed.

Amelia stood at the door waiting for Lucian to get the car. When Vernon walked past her, he casually said, "You've humiliated me today."

Amelia's face fell and her heart sank.

She didn't even know what she did to make Vernon say such hateful words.

Lucian stopped the car in front of the restaurant and called out Amelia to get in. Seeing that she didn't look well, he asked, "What happened?" He turned to look at Vernon who had already gone inside their car. Lucian already had a hunch.

"Can we go back to SJ Garden now?" she eagerly asked Lucian as she sat in the front seat of his car.

They had initially intended to drop by Zhan mansion with their parents, but seeing Vernon in a terrible mood, Amelia wanted nothing to do with him.

"Okay, if that's what you want," Lucian said. Vernon and Sophia were already on their way to Zhan mansion, so Lucian called Darren to inform him about their change of plans.

"Let's go home." After hanging up on Darren, Lucian held Amelia's hand and away they drove.

They spent the drive in silence. When they finally arrived at SJ Garden, Amelia wearily told Lucian, "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to bed."
