Chapter 158 Lucian Got Jealous

Amelia had never felt the compassion of a mother since Iris died. But each time she was with Emma, she somehow felt a semblance of that feeling.

Amelia and Emma chatted for a while as they spent time together. After having lunch, Jonny brought Amelia back to the SJ Garden. She entered the house silently and found that Lily was taking a nap. The phone suddenly rang when she was on her way upstairs. She went and answered the phone, it was Lucian who was calling.

"Hello, Lucian. It's me." She felt mildly surprised by Lucian's call. She wondered why he didn't call her on her mobile phone.

"I called your mobile many times but it's powered off. Lily told me earlier that you have gone out?" Amelia took out her mobile phone and found that it was indeed turned off. She tried to turn it on but it wouldn't turn on.

"I'm sorry, Lucian. I forgot to charge my phone last night," she replied in a distressed tone of voice.

"It's not a problem. I just want to make sure that you are OK," Lucian replied with a soft voice. A tone of relief could clearly be heard from his voice.

Amelia understood exactly how anxious Lucian must've felt when he was not able to contact her mobile phone even after multiple attempts.

"So, what's up with you? Are you done with work and on your way back home?" Amelia asked in a hopeful tone. It was barely three in the afternoon.

"Not yet, but I might get off work early as soon as I finish this," Lucian replied. He sounded eager to complete his work right away and get back home to Amelia.

"I'll be cooking dinner. Then I will be waiting for you once I'm done," Amelia said in her usual tone of voice.

They spoke a little bit more on the phone and then Lucian hung up.

There was a knock on the door of his office as soon as he hung up the phone.

"Mr. Lucian, here is a brief summary of Mrs. Amelia's activities today. She rode

n but Amelia's lie made him feel annoyed even more.

"Go ahead and cook. I have something I need to finish." Lucian made up an excuse to leave Amelia's presence. He didn't feel like talking further at the moment.

"Okay." Amelia sensed that Lucian was not in the mood to talk with her. She went to the kitchen to cook as she initially intended to do.

When dinner was ready, Amelia went upstairs to call Lucian to dinner. When Amelia entered the room, Lucian was going through several letters in his hands. When he noticed that Amelia had entered, he immediately put the letters away.

Amelia was startled by Lucian's sudden reaction. She ended up speaking to him in an awkward tone, "It's time for dinner, Lucian."

"Okay." Lucian stood up in his usual manner and took her hand and proceeded to go downstairs and into the dining room.

If she had any doubt earlier if there was something wrong, she was now convinced of it. Lucian was acting strangely that she didn't know how to approach him.

They had dinner in total silence. Lucian did not say a single word to her until they finished eating. When he finished eating, he got up and left the dining room. Lily cautiously approached Amelia and said, "Mrs. Amelia, have you noticed that there seems to be something wrong with Mr. Lucian today?" Amelia said nothing and started to clear the table instead.

But she did sense something. She sensed it since the moment that Lucian arrived and entered the house, she knew that something was wrong.

Amelia made a cup of tea for Lucian after she'd finished with the table. She then walked slowly towards the living room. Lucian sat comfortably at the living room sofa and watched a ball game. She approached him and carefully handed him the cup of tea. He took the cup of tea without a word. She then sat beside him and then asked in a gentle voice, "Lucian, are you unhappy?"
