Chapter 208 Falling In Love With The Same Man

Amelia pulled herself out of Lucian's arms while tears trickled down her face. She worriedly looked at his handsome face and suddenly felt sorry for what she had done. Amelia wanted to think things through by herself, so she politely asked, "Lucian, please let me be alone for a while. All of your efforts to comfort me will be useless if I can't figure out these unpleasant emotions within me."

"Why do you have to do it alone?" Lucian solemnly asked and hugged her again. He added, "You're my wife. Even in happiness or sadness, I should be with you. I can't let you go through your problems alone."

Tears continued to drop at the corners of Amelia's eyes. She was still upset, so she pushed Lucian away and suddenly exclaimed, "You'll only end up making me think that this is a big deal. I don't need your comfort. I can do this by myself. Get out of here!"

She completely rejected Lucian's kindness with utmost conviction, despite the guilt and distress she felt in her heart.

Even Amelia herself couldn't comprehend what was going on. But she knew that talking to Lucian would only cause more problems.

And the overwhelming truth behind what she had just learned made it unbearable.

Lucian didn't want to upset Amelia more than she already was, so he agreed to her request and simply told her, "Okay, then I'll go downstairs to take care of Mark. If you become hungry, just go downstairs and eat."

Amelia remained silent since it was rare for Lucian to give in to her woes. She then turned away from him with a look on her face that was very strange for Lucian.

Before leaving the bedroom, Lucian stared for a while at Amelia with so much concern in his eyes. The feeling of helplessness made

ife miserable.

"I'll keep it for you and take it as the fee for inviting Amelia," Yolanda uttered with a joyful smile. She then raised the bank card left by Lucian and felt that all her problems were solved in an instant.

Sophia glanced at the card and didn't say anything, but reminded Yolanda, "We still owe some people money, go and see how much money is in that card tomorrow. Pay our debts if there's enough."

Hearing that, Yolanda was surprised and asked Sophia with so much doubt in her voice, "Mom, you told Amelia the truth in order to get money, didn't you?"

Yolanda remembered that before Vernon was put to jail, Sophia promised him that she would never tell Amelia what happened in the past. So why did Sophia break that promise?

Meanwhile, Sophia thought there was nothing wrong in doing so. At that time, she just wanted to earn Amelia's trust. If she needed to ask for help in the future, it would be much easier to do so. She calmly uttered,

"I always knew that Amelia was softhearted. I thought that she couldn't help herself in finding out the truth. She definitely wanted to know more. She would have wanted to find our current residence and try to help us. But unexpectedly, Lucian got here first." Sophia didn't try to hide the truth about what happened in the past, for two reasons. One was to clear her conscience, and the second was to prevent Amelia from further misunderstanding Vernon's actions.

Sophia felt that her mind and body were finally free from all the guilt which she had been carrying for the past ten years.

Long ago, she and Iris were extremely good friends. If they hadn't fallen in love with the same man, that unfortunate incident wouldn't have happened.
