Amelia felt the winter breeze on her face and it felt bitterly cold against her skin. She instinctively fell back into Lucian's arms.
"It's cold here. Let's go inside," Lucian whispered into Amelia's ear. With a caring around Amelia's shoulder, Lucian guided his wife back into the room.
"Mark's getting better," Amelia said happily as she watched the baby in the crib.
Lucian stood behind her and looked at Mark who was sleeping soundly. From his baby, he turned to look at his wife and smiled. At that moment, Lucian felt as if life had truly blessed him.
"People always told me that I was lucky to have everything I could possibly want. And every time, I'd just laugh them all off. But looking at you and Mark now, I actually feel like the richest man in the world," he said with pleasure as he put his arms around her.
Amelia smiled, too. She looked at Mark and said gently, "My life is complete with you and our baby."
Amelia had already gone through so many painful memories, but in that moment, she felt nothing but happiness and gratitude. The pain in her heart was slowly fading away.
Amelia had to stay confined in the house to recover from giving birth during the first month. Courtney would visit her and they would talk about many things. For one, Amelia complained about not being able to wash her hair properly that she had actually cried to Lucian because of it.
But in light of having given birth to her son, Amelia had never felt
im about the rumors she had read on the Internet, but she didn't have enough courage.
Lucian cared too much about Amelia and she knew that he wouldn't take kindly to those who would slander her in front of him. Saying anything negative about Amelia would earn her Lucian's spite. It would be much harder for her to get closer to him if ever.
"Come here, baby. Auntie Sasha would like to hug you," Sasha said with outstretched arms. Lucian stood up and was about to place Mark in Sasha's open arms when Lily stepped in.
"Mr. Lucian, I think it's time for Mrs. Amelia to feed the baby," Lily said with wary eyes locked at Sasha.
Lily didn't know much about Sasha but she could clearly sense that she was not to be trusted. She didn't like how Sasha looked at Lucian so she decided to interrupt.
"Okay, Lily! Well, Mark, you should go to your mom," Lucian said.
"You'll find Mrs. Amelia in the lounge, Mr. Lucian," Lily reminded him. She had no intention of taking the baby herself to leave the two alone.
"Yeah, thanks," Lucian said. Oblivious to the sharp looks the women threw at each other, Lucian stepped out of the room to search for Amelia.
Sasha wanted to stop Lucian, but her own seething emotions wouldn't let her.
"Miss Sasha, Mr. Lucian loves Mrs. Amelia very much. Please, whatever it is you're planning, stop it," Lily said curtly before turning around and leaving.
Sasha was left speechless. It seemed as if Lily's warning worked.
