Chapter 178 I Don't Want To Upset You

Amelia was worried that Fannie might quarrel with Nicholas, so she immediately explained, "Dad, don't worry. Mark is in heavy clothes."

She wasn't able to think clearly as she was in a hurry, and Fannie easily caught her words.

"Amelia, I don't like what you're saying." Fannie glared at her and asked, "Do you mean that I deliberately hurt Mark?"

Amelia was really confused. She thought about what she had said before. "Mom, I meant that what Dad had said doesn't matter at all. Please don't misunderstand what I meant," she explained.

"Fannie, don't escalate things. Watch your tongue!" Nicholas knew that Amelia was an honest person. She would never hurt others even for her own defense. He couldn't stop to continue defending her.

"Don't help!" Fannie became excited when she heard Nicholas speaking for Amelia. She pointed at Nicholas's nose and berated, "Do you really think you can hide your sins by pretending to be a kind father?"

She was very angry and looked really cruel. When Amelia heard Fannie's angry words towards Nicholas, she felt a little fazed. Amelia even thought that the days that Fannie was gentle were only a dream.

She seemed to have turned back to her sharp and hurtful lips.

The anger on Nicholas's face subsided after hearing what Fannie had just said. The atmosphere was filled with silence and embarrassment.

Amelia took Mark from Nicholas and comforted them, "Dad. Mom. Don't

severely cold.

She cleaned the study and quietly went downstairs. Just as she was going down, she saw Lily comforting a crying Mark. She walked over and held him in her arms. "Mark must be hungry. You go eat dinner, and I'll feed him first."

It was already seven o'clock in the evening. The dishes were starting to get cold.

Lily heated the dishes again and went to the living room to take Mark.

"Mrs. Amelia, for the sake of Mark, you should eat." Lily tried to comfort Amelia.

Lily was right. Mark had to eat even though she was feeling sad.

After dinner, Amelia gave Lucian a call but his phone must be turned off.

She sat on the sofa and didn't realize that it was already midnight.

"Mrs. Amelia, Mark is already asleep. Please go to bed," Lily said to Amelia.

"Okay," Amelia answered, confused. She cast a glance at the clock.

She didn't know what had happened. Lucian was undeniably angry when he left.

After retreating to the bedroom, Amelia called Eric. He was Lucian's assistant. She asked him if he knew where Lucian was.

"Mrs. Amelia, I have no idea. Mr. Lucian went home after work..." Eric replied.

Amelia's mood was like a flowing river. She felt her chest tightened, similar to the feeling of being drowned.

"Don't worry. I'll go out and find him," Eric said.

"Call me as soon as you get any news," Amelia said, her voice still sounded worried. She grasped the phone tightly.
