"I think that won't work. I have a better idea," said Amelia. She already felt thrilled although she hadn't told him her second plan yet.
"What?" asked Lucian in a surprised tone. "What idea is that?" he added. Apparently, Lucian was confused with what Amelia had just said. However, seeing her in high spirits right now also made him feel happy for her.
Although he said that he didn't agree with her, deep inside him he still thought that he would support her in anything that could make her happy.
He didn't even want her to be stressed or exhausted.
In the middle of their conversation, Lily who had just finished cooking and changing clothes, walked into the living room. "Mrs. Amelia, I think you and Mr. Lucian have something to talk about so just leave the young master to me," she said to Amelia.
"Okay. Thank you, Lily," replied Amelia sincerely. She was touched by Lily's thoughtfulness and kindness so she was truly grateful.
When Lily took Mark away, Amelia turned to Lucian again. She handed him a piece of paper with the schedule that she personally wrote by herself.
"I saw an empty space next to Courtney's milk tea shop and I think it's very suitable for the business I have in mind. I've already talked to the owner and he told me that the rent is 20,000 dollars. It's a little expensive but I think the location is very good. I believe that many customers go to that area," she said with a smile. "Amelia, I think you have already made your decisions and you have already taken some actions before even letting me know about it," replied Lucian bluntly as he squinted.
Amelia was taken aback. She admitted that she had made the decision by herself, but she was discussing it with him now.
She noticed that Lucian's eyes darkened so she suddenly felt scared that he wouldn't agree to her idea.
"Lucian, that space is just next to Courtney's milk tea shop. If I can put up a flower shop business there, that means that our

"Jonny, please don't laugh at us," she said apologetically. "Please bear with us. Women usually like to cry." "I'm also moved," replied Jonny as he blinked his eyes. There was a touch of warmth in his gentle eyes.
"I'm moved by your sisterhood. I think this shop has a good name," he added as he clapped his hands.
Courtney was amused by Jonny's reply so she tried to make fun of Amelia.
"You know what? I have a gut-feeling that Lucian will be jealous of me," she said with a witty smile. "How about I change the name into something else?" Amelia also quipped.
"No, don't change it. Don't worry, I won't blink even if Lucian put a knife on my neck," Courtney also jested. They all laughed at each other's joke.
"Lucian is a very generous and considerate person. And he also knows that Amelia is safe because her flower shop is just next to my milk tea shop. The name of your flower shop is a reward for you, Amelia," said Courtney. "Oh, yeah. The milk tea shop next to my flower shop is owned by Courtney," Amelia told Jonny.
Courtney was definitely right. Lucian had always been there for Amelia. In return, Amelia was very grateful for Lucian's support all this time. It was very obvious with the light of happiness that dazzled on her face every time he heard Lucian's name. But for Jonny, it brought nothing to him but pain.
"What kind of flowers are those? I haven't seen them before!" exclaimed Courtney. She noticed that the situation became awkward upon mentioning Lucian's name so she thought of a way to change the topic. She noticed the flowers that Jonny gave to Amelia so she used them as an excuse. She pretended to look surprised and amazed of the flowers as she added, "They look so beautiful, very special!"
"This is called 'Yimi flower.' It's a simulated flower but it bears a profound meaning," explained Jonny. His eyes were on Amelia as he was explaining to Courtney in a very soft voice.
