Chapter 245 Amelia Is Innocent

Although Fannie had just arrived, she could tell from their faces that there was an ongoing conflict between father and son.

"Be kind to Amelia. She's the mother of your child," Nicholas pleaded.

The corners of Lucian's lips formed a cold smile. He responded after a while, "Amelia is my wife, and Mark is my son. I don't need your advice on how to treat them."

Lucian was furious, but he still couldn't help but feel warmth at the thought of his wife and child.

Nicholas looked relieved.

"Let's talk about your past some other time. What you need to do now is focus on the more important things," Nicholas said in a low voice before Lucian could leave the study.

But his words confused Lucian, who then looked at him with a quizzical brow. He asked, "Should we really postpone this for another time? Are we waiting for a special occasion?"

Fannie, who was standing by the door of the study, involuntarily clasped her hands at the mention of Lucian's past. The words made her feel extremely nervous. She felt cold beads of sweat running down her temple.

She never thought that this day would come so soon.

She heard the men mention Amelia's name. She couldn't help but wonder what on earth she had to do with the issue.

"Amelia is not just your wife; she's also my daughter. For the last twenty-six years, I haven't done my duty to her as a father. I can only hope to make it up to her." Nicholas thought that Lucian was mentally strong enough to take in his sudden confession. After all, he still had vague memories of Fiona.

"My mother may not have taken much care of me, but she's still my mot

r." To show him how glad she was, Amelia wanted to cook for Lucian personally.

"I'm sure Mr. Lucian would appreciate that, Mrs. Amelia!" Lily said with a wide smile.

Amelia was cooking in the kitchen when Lucian came down from the study.

Seeing Lily playing with Mark, he casually told her to take the baby upstairs.

It was obvious that he was trying to get her out of the room.

Lily thought it strange that Lucian looked serious despite seeing Mark. He wasn't smiling like usual, and he also didn't ask to hold his son unlike before.

Lily thought that there was a weird atmosphere in the room, so she stood up and followed Lucian's orders. But before she left, she said, "Mrs. Amelia is making dinner in the kitchen."

Lily thought that Amelia making dinner would make Lucian feel better.

But contrary to her expectations, Lucian's face went dark when he heard Amelia's name.

In the kitchen, Amelia was too focused on her cooking that she didn't notice Lucian standing behind her.

When she turned around, she was shocked to see her husband leaning against the kitchen door with his arms folded.

Lucian didn't intend to scare her. Seeing how terrified she was of his sudden appearance, he forced a smile and said, "You're too absorbed in your cooking."

Amelia blushed with embarrassment and gave him a shy smile. "Are you hungry? Dinner will be ready soon."

Given her skill, Amelia was able to make several dishes in a short matter of time.

As she set the table, Lucian watched her with mixed feelings.

Regardless of what happened in the past, Amelia was the one person who's innocent.
