Chapter 185 I Won't Divorce You

Amelia did not understand why he sighed, but once she remembered how he threatened her, she gave Lucian a mocking smile. "I'm a sensible woman. I know that it's not good to cause trouble out of nothing."

She said the words casually, but Lucian heard the annoyance in her tone.

It felt like a sharp knife stabbing his heart.

Lucian took her hand in his and looked into her eyes. "Amelia, I promise it's not what you think. I'll explain it all once I've dealt with it, but you have to trust me."

"You're going to explain everything once you've dealt with it?" Amelia said with a look of amusement. "I don't care for your explanation. It's your attitude towards me that's bothering, Lucian."

He had always been gentle to her in the past. But since Claire's appearance, Lucian had become cold or even harsh.

Amelia knew that she hadn't done anything wrong, so the fact that Lucian regarded her with aloofness disappointed her.

Her response only made Lucian angrier. He scowled when he asked, "Don't I treat you well? I don't understand how you could be mad for what I said in the hotel this morning."

Amelia understood what Lucian meant. He only thought that it was unnecessary to pay attention to that thing...

But seeing his handsome face contort in anger made Amelia shocked. As if in a trance, she said coldly, "Maybe I'm just not suited for this kind of life. I don't understand your idea of plain living. You can tell me if you love her. I don't care anyway, so don't worry about it."

Amelia said in a low voice that

t to be with Jonny!"

Lucian said while looking at her intently. His sharp eyes stirred up feelings in Amelia's heart.

Hearing him determined to stay married to her made Amelia feel a bit thrilled, but she couldn't be completely happy, knowing that he said those words in anger.

The fury in his tone overpowered the beautiful memories that came with his declaration.

"But you'd only let Claire down if you don't divorce me. You shouldn't do that to the woman you love, especially if it's just to spite me. Don't you think that's pointless?" Amelia said. Since Claire called the SJ Garden, Amelia thought it was enough proof that Claire was eager to marry him.

Lucian frowned and replied impatiently, "I don't even know if you have a brain, Amelia."

"Mr. Lucian, you've already told me that I'm stupid more than once. It's really weird. When you loved me, you told me I was simple and kind. But now that you hate me, you call me stupid. You change your mind rather quickly." Amelia laughed bitterly.

"Amelia..." Lucian's tone softened as he trailed off. He lowered his eyes to her affectionately. This sudden tenderness made Amelia's heart tremble in confusion.

Her cold voice sounded nervous. "You... What's wrong?"

After taking a deep breath, Lucian took her into his arms and asked, "Why won't you give me an explanation? I don't want you to go. I can't let you go."

Whatever pretense of strength Amelia clung to gave way after hearing these words. At the time, Amelia only felt deep sorrow.

Her anger had subsided.
