Amelia almost drained her glass. Lucian just stared at her in awe.
"It's okay for you to drink like this in front of me. But if I'm not around, never do it, okay?" Lucian warned Amelia. He sounded righteous but his voice was also full of concern.
Amelia nodded happily. She was already a little drunk and the effect of alcohol was very apparent as her face turned red. She looked like a beautiful rose under the light.
In Lucian's eyes, she was a woman full of feminine charm.
Lucian stood up without taking his gaze away from Amelia. He came to her and hugged her.
The warmth of their love spread all throughout the bedroom in an instant. The smell of fragrant flowers seemed to envelope the whole room. It felt like there was no one else in the world but them. They were enjoying every moment together.
The next day, Amelia woke up without Lucian beside her. Maybe, he got up earlier than her. When she tried to move, she felt her body aching all over. She felt like she was beaten up by ten horses.
Amelia struggled for several times before she was able to barely stand up. She went to the bathroom to wash her face. But when she saw her reflection on the mirror, she noticed the hickeys all over her body. When she remembered what happened last night, she suddenly felt embarrassed and blushed.
Amelia saw Lily making breakfast in the kitchen when she went downstairs so she made her way to the living room and played with Mark. But when Lily saw her in the living room, she took off her apron and ran to her.
"Mrs. Amelia, have you and Mr. Lucian already made up?" she asked worriedly.
When she saw that Amelia was smiling, she felt relieved. Then she said with a smile, "I know it!" She unintentionally saw the red mark on Amelia's neck so she immediately covered her face out of shyness. "The evidence is irrefutable!" she exclaimed.
Amelia felt so embarrassed as well. She tried to cov
home, Amelia had already finished preparing dinner. She looked at the clock and she wondered why Lucian hadn't arrived yet.
"Mrs. Amelia, is Mr. Lucian having a business dinner tonight?" Lily also looked at the time on her watch. It was already almost midnight.
Amelia couldn't help heaving a deep sigh. She also didn't know what happened. Before Lucian left this morning, he told her that they would be having dinner together. But now, he didn't even answer his phone. "Lucian's phone is off so I can't contact him. Let's go eat dinner first."
Amelia got more depressed when they had finished eating dinner but there was still no sign of Lucian.
She didn't give up and kept calling him. Unfortunately, his phone was still off.
A few minutes later, Eric called Amelia to inform her that Lucian was in a dinner party. He also said that if Lucian couldn't come home tonight, he would find a hotel for him to sleep.
Amelia felt bad when she heard of the word hotel.
It reminded her of Sasha's complacent laugh over the phone last time.
But she did her best to get rid of those unpleasant ideas. So to divert her mind, she went upstairs to coax Mark to sleep.
Eric was right. Lucian didn't come home that night. Amelia thought that he would be coming home early in the morning but he still didn't show up until she left for the flower shop.
When she returned from the shop in the afternoon, she had expected to see Lucian at home. But Lily said that he hadn't come back the whole day. Amelia hastily called his number but there was still no answer.
"Lily, please take care of Mark. I need to go to the Zhan Group now." Amelia didn't wait for Lily's reply and she went out in a hurry.
During the past month, they almost didn't have any conflict or misunderstanding. Lucian had been so nice to her. She couldn't think of any reason why Lucian wouldn't come home so she got more and more worried.
