"So do you also believe that the news is true?" Amelia asked with furrowed brows, still remembering his harsh words.
"I don't believe it at all." Lucian continued as he shook his head, "I'm just a little angry with you."
The way he looked at Amelia so earnestly as he said this at her made her feel a bit embarrassed.
Amelia lowered her head and avoided his burning eyes. "Even if you're angry with me, I don't see why you should suspect me," she uttered in a small voice.
Nodding in agreement, Lucian smiled, "If that's not the case, I really don't know how you can be this stubborn."
The air between them was more at ease now as Lucian started to tease Amelia.
After a minute's silence, Amelia looked up at Lucian. "You said that the most important thing between a couple is trust," she muttered. "But you... I don't trust you anymore!"
There was no more holding back for Amelia -- she wanted to speak her mind freely and let him know what she was thinking.
Of course, Lucian knew why she didn't trust him. Putting on an enchanting smile, he looked at her with his sharp eyes. "Amelia, I understand how you've been feeling these past few days. When I saw the news about you and Jonny, I was also very jealous."
Amelia suddenly blushed when she thought of those pictures. They did look too intimate.
"But I didn't let it get to me... because I know that you love me." Then, he let out a complacent laugh as he wrapped his arms around Amelia's slender waist. "Never mind. Don't mind what I said just now," he quickly added.
Seeing the Lucian's playful dem
from ear to ear. "It's so good to see you two being together like this!" she exclaimed happily.
Although Lily was working in SJ Garden, Lucian and Amelia treated her like family. They were very grateful to her for caring about them as much as she could.
"Lily, as long as he can correct his mistakes, I think I'll be able to forgive him," Amelia said, teasingly nudging Lucian's side.
Lily hid her face behind the bouquet of roses she was holding, like a shy, young girl.
"Mr. Lucian, since you have been forgiven, I won't scold you anymore. Don't do anything rash to Mrs. Amelia again!" said Lily arrogantly.
Normally, Lily wouldn't dare to speak to Lucian in this way. It was just that she cared a lot about Amelia, and wanted Lucian to know that she was on Amelia's side.
However, Lucian didn't mind it at all. "It seems that I really need to make some changes. Before, Lily was grateful to me. But now, Lily is defending you," he said with a smile.
Amelia laughed, looking back at Lily to give her a quick wink.
"What's that, Lily? Is that from your boyfriend?" Amelia asked playfully.
Lily's cheeks blushed instantly. Biting her lip, she looked even shier than before.
"It's alright if you have a boyfriend, Lily. There's nothing to be ashamed of. If you have any problems or want someone to talk to, I'm sure that Amelia would be willing enough to help you out," Lucian stated, sounding like a knowledgeable elder.
Lily nodded her head, feeling deeply moved by their kindness. "Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia, don't worry. I won't be blind like last time."
