Chapter 184 Claire Called To Provoke

"Someone named Claire called and asked you to leave the SJ Garden…" Lily hesitated before saying further. "She said that very soon she will be... Mr. Lucian's wife." Lily was so anxious that she could hardly speak.

'Claire?' Amelia frowned after hearing that name and thought to herself, 'She even asked me to move out of the SJ Garden?'

Claire couldn't sit back and do nothing, and Amelia knew this. But she didn't expect Claire to be so impatient.

"Let me take Mark upstairs." Amelia strolled toward the stairs with an expressionless face.

Lily's eyes were filled with worry when she gazed at Amelia. "Mrs. Amelia, what happened between you and Mr. Lucian? It's quite unusual for him to stay out for two days."

Lily knew that Amelia and Lucian were deeply in love. But Lucian hadn't been home for two days. Even Amelia's face stayed gloomy for far too long. It wasn't hard for Lily to guess that the couple had a fight.

"He has been too busy to come home these days." Amelia's voice was low when she ascended upstairs.

After arriving at the bedroom, she put Mark in the crib and sat next to him. Her moistened eyes stared at her little one for a long time before sighing in helplessness.

She had been forcing a smile on her face a lot these days to escape reality.

Fortunately, Mark was keeping her company, making her shoulders relaxed. Still, her eyes had a touch of loneliness whenever she would be alone.

The cruel words of Claire and the cold attitude of Lucian had made her feel depressed.

Amelia couldn't help but remember sweet moments they shared toge

went back to her bedroom, resuming her activity beside the window. She didn't even realize that it was 11 pm when the door of her bedroom suddenly opened. Her mouth hung open after seeing Lucian standing at the door.

His black suit complemented his icy expression. Her heart thudded against her chest.

"Is Mark asleep?" His eyes were glued to Mark, sleeping in the crib.

Amelia recovered from her shock and showed off an indifferent expression on her face. "He just fell asleep."

Then they were surrounded by a long silence.

Amelia was in a bad mood. Although she had a lot to say, her mind was blank. She didn't know how to break that uncomfortable silence.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, the thought about her news popped in her mind. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lucian. 'He didn't come back to argue about that, did he?'

She silently braced herself for hearing hurtful words.

"I'm sorry. I came a little late on New Year's Eve." His voice carried a hint of embarrassment, surprising Amelia.

Amelia wanted to tell him that she was fine, but she couldn't. His attitude earlier was different from that of today's, which confused her. She didn't know what to say.

"You are too busy. I understand." She turned her head, appearing cold on the surface. It seemed like she didn't care if he wanted to spend his New Year's Eve with Claire.

Ever since that girl showed up, he had always been late. Amelia thought that there was no need to use polite words.

"Amelia, I don't want you to misunderstand me..." He sighed and glanced at her helplessly.
