Chapter 193 Hang Out With Other Men

Her words amused Jonny to no end. The gloom haunting him quickly vanished. "It's not the coffee, of course," Jonny said, smiling. "But don't worry, I feel somber now."

"If there's anything that makes you even a wee bit uncomfortable, just tell me! I'll do everything in my power to address it for you," Amelia said enthusiastically. Her eyes were bright and full of excitement, and her wide smile revealed the deep dimples on both of her cheeks. Seeing that, Jonny's heart couldn't help but flutter. 'I feel like I'm getting drunk just off of her smile,' he thought, smiling fondly.

"Amelia, maybe I'm wrong..." he suddenly said, quickly deciding to change his original plan. He felt ashamed over it, but he knew that that was what he had to do.

"Don't think about it too much, Jonny," Amelia said softly, trying to be comforting. "I know you don't want your mother to worry about you. But don't force yourself. Maybe your destined girl isn't ready to meet you yet. When the time comes, trust me—she will be the one to come to you!" With that, Amelia couldn't help but think that Jonny was sorry for her mother Emma who was worried about his marriage.

The words that came out of Amelia's lips soothed Jonny's soul. It was as if they had magic in them that instantly warmed people's hearts—his heart. He had never been that close to her, but every time she had shown great concern for him, he felt his heart had been warm bit by bit.

"Amelia, thank you for your advice," he replied softly. "I'm feeling much better now." Unfortunately, he wasn't. But he didn't have the heart to admit that to Amelia.

It was already dinnertime when Amelia and Jonny got out of the cafe. Jonny proposed that they have dinner in a hot pot restaurant, but because Amelia had already been out for too long, she was becoming worried about Mark. "I think I need to rush back now," she said apologe

to fall asleep, and if I give him to you now, he might wake up. I'll carry him for now," Lucian said. Amelia took the coldness and indifference in his voice as clues that she should not insist on getting Mark.

"Okay," she replied resignedly. Although she was sad, what Lucian said was reasonable.

She followed Mark closely with her eyes. She was stretching out her hand to touch Mark's face to feel his temperature when Claire's pulled it back forcibly. Amelia turned to her in surprise, but she wasn't ready for what she said next. "You really went on a secret date with Jonny while your child was having a high fever? You really don't care about him, huh? Now, you're acting like a good wife and mother. How pretentious!"

Lucian was taken aback. Quickly, he turned to Amelia to see if what Claire said was true. Amelia's face was pale as a sheet of paper. It convinced him that Claire was telling the truth and soon enough, anger started raging in his heart like wildfire that no one could put out.

"Claire, don't exaggerate things! Mr. Jonny and Mrs. Amelia are just friends and you know that!" Lily hissed angrily. She knew that if it wasn't for Claire's lying tongue, Lucian wouldn't have asked her to turn off her cell phone and make it harder for Amelia to contact her.

"Lily, don't meddle in things you know nothing about!" Claire retorted. "And stop trying to cover up what Amelia did. Look at her! She's incredibly pale and can't even defend herself! You know why? It's because I am telling the truth!" Claire's face showed incredible determination. She was trying to ruin Amelia and Lucian's relationship, and she would do everything to succeed!

Amelia was still speechless. She turned to look at Lucian's handsome face, but now, his eyes were devoid of warmth. His stare was cold and shallow, and it bore an indescribable sadness into her already aching heart.
