She did not expect that Lucian would comfort her so dearly, especially that time.
Amelia knew that Lucian's family expected him to marry a wealthy woman from another elite family. But she was not such a lady.
"Should I get going? Oh, it pains me so much to see how sweet your love has grown," Michael said as he held his chest. He mustered a terribly miserable expression.
Michael had always been a good actor. Had Amelia not seen his frivolous side, she would have surely fallen for his antics.
"Do you want me to call Sasha for you?" Lucian teased back, sporting a wide confident smile.
'Sasha? Michael knows Sasha?' thought Amelia.
She just met Sasha in the elevator, who was wearing a complacent expression.
"Oh no, please don't. Sasha is a fierce woman. She would eat me up," Michael complained. He winked at Amelia and said, "If you need a playmate whenever Lucian is too busy, you can always come to me. We can run the whole island together."
Amelia had no answer for that, but she was sure to give Michael a cold hard look.
"Honey, Michael is only teasing. Look, he and his Chinese mom stayed in America for his American dad. Michael grew up abroad, and so his sense of humor is different. Please, don't be offended." Lucian knew that Amelia would not be amused by such remarks from Michael. At some point, Lucian knew he needed to reassure Amelia.
Amelia shook her head and said, "Fine, I won't mind him then. Anyways, I only came here for you, hon."
Touched by Amelia's sweet words, Lucian hugged her tightly and kissed her forehea

It seemed clear to Amelia why Sasha was so eager to answer the phone.
She was already Michael's girlfriend then, and was with Lucian and Michael at that time.
To Amelia, it seemed like Sasha still had feelings for Lucian, so she had provoked Amelia on the phone.
That thought made Amelia feel sorry for Michael.
"Little sister-in-law, let's go to the reception room and wait for Lucian and Sasha to get off work." "I feel like a bum," Michael added.
Amelia had a good impression on Michael. Although he could be quite aggressive, they actually had a nice time at the island.
"Mr. Michael, you do not need to go to some office to make money. Only a hobo would not have that opportunity!" Amelia quipped with a smile.
"Wow, look at you. I thought you were cold. I never thought you can be so humorous." Michael stirred the coffee with his fingers. He smiled and asked, "So, you and Lucian, was it marriage before love?"
Questions about Lucian made her excited. She managed a smile and said, "We fell in love first."
"But you guys got married so quickly." Taking a sip of coffee, Michael revealed a promise that Lucian broke. "He told me that he would tell me if he were to marry. Sadly, I learned your marriage from Sasha, and only after Mark was born," Michael said in a fully sad tone.
"Don't you watch the Chinese news? That must be why you knew so late," Amelia said with great curiosity. News about Lucian's marriage was reported everywhere. Although the news focused on Amelia's background, the news circulated throughout the region.
