Chapter 174 The Woman You Couldn't Let Go

Anger was written all over Sasha's face. Her lips were trembling. She couldn't believe what she just saw. With a pained expression, she looked at Lucian and said, "Lucian, how could you break your promise?"

Lucian sneered, "I've given you the chance to change, but you just ignored it. You've made many mistakes, Sasha. There's no point in honoring a promise to a cruel woman like you."

Anger welled up in Sasha's heart. She glared at Amelia with eyes full of hate.

"I may have lost, but you will never be happy with him, Amelia. You're not the woman he loves the most!" It was clear to Sasha that she would never win Lucian's heart, but she wouldn't pass up the chance to hurt Amelia.

Lucian had told Amelia to not take any of Sasha's words seriously. She knew that Sasha had said those words only out of spite.

"Let's get out of here, Lucian," Amelia said to her husband, paying no attention at all to Sasha.

But Sasha had rushed to her and grabbed her by her hair. She said through gritted teeth, "Your feet are tied up. How do you think you'd run away?"

Amelia felt a sharp pain on her scalp as Sasha tugged at her roots. But knowing that any sudden movement on her part may endanger her baby, she winced in pain and kept still.

"Aaah!" Amelia heard a cry as she felt her hair fall loose.

Lucian didn't consider that Sasha would physically hurt Amelia. Seeing the woman he loved struggling in pain, anger took hold of hi

Amelia thought that maybe she didn't really care so much about Lucian's past. Only she wanted to assess her importance in his heart.

Mark broke the silence by crying. Amelia stood up, carrying the baby, and paced back and forth in the room to soothe him.

Lucian wanted to help her, but Amelia quickly said, "You should go to bed early. You have work in the morning and Mark's cries will keep you up."

Amelia's words were like a splash of cold water dousing what little warmth Lucian felt.

"Please, Lucian. Just go to sleep," Amelia said in a low voice.

"Amelia..."

"Let's talk tomorrow. I'm really tired," she said.

Seeing fatigue written all over Amelia's face, Lucian dismissed the idea of conversing with her. He finally said, "I hope you sleep well. Good night."

Lucian reached out to pat her head and Amelia allowed him to. But despite her appreciation of the gesture, she felt generally indifferent to him.

During the night, Amelia felt exhausted but couldn't find it in herself to sleep. If it hadn't been for the fear of disturbing Mark, she would have tossed and turned the whole night.

When she awoke the next day, she was devastated to find the baby missing. Her heart raced as she rushed downstairs only to find Lily carrying Mark in her arms.

"Did you sleep well, Mrs. Amelia?"

"What time did Mark wake up?" It took Amelia too long to doze off that her sleep had been too deep when her son woke up.
