Chapter 263 A Fight Between Father And Son

"If you really want to have a peaceful relationship with family then you should just respect them and don't treat them any differently." Amelia's point was that everything should stay the same—nothing should change.

Even so, it would be difficult to act the same especially when you knew everything.

But now, she obviously didn't have the courage to face reality.

Nicholas nodded in understanding. Putting on a gentle smile, he said, "Don't worry. I treat you and Lucian the same way."

"Does that matter? I don't care about that at all." Amelia couldn't help but laugh. She didn't think it was necessary for Nicholas to say this.

Because Nicholas couldn't make it up to Iris and Lucian's mother no matter how much he owed them and no matter how much he regretted his actions.

Nicholas knew this better than she did.

Fortunately for Amelia, Vernon had always been cold to her even as a child. He never really treated her like his daughter so Amelia never really felt as if she had a father in the first place.

Iris's love for her was enough.

The moment she stepped out of the study, a servant approached her to inform her that Lucian had just arrived.

Despite her excitement, she made sure to slow down her pace.

"Lucian, please help me!" When she arrived at the door of Fannie's room, she immediately heard Fannie crying.

Amelia's heart tightened. Just as she was about to go inside, Lucian s

e that!" Amelia bore her gaze into his.

"Well, I'm glad you two seem to be getting along so well!" Lucian nodded as he stared back into Amelia's eyes.

With that, he left the study.

Amelia felt her heart beat pulsing in her ears, her chest tightening.

"Amelia..." Nicholas said.

"Was Lucian telling the truth?" asked Amelia while she turned her gaze to Nicholas.

If Lucian was telling the truth then she could definitely understand why he was so angry at Nicholas.

In response, Nicholas merely lowered his head, not even trying to defend himself. This could only mean one thing—Lucian was right.

Amelia closed her eyes in despair, biting her lips.

"Why? Don't you know that this is only going to drive a wedge between me and Lucian?"

"I'm doing this for a reason and that's not because I don't believe in Lucian. You two are married! This is for the two of you! This belongs to the two of you!" Nicholas was relentless.

"Why did you do it?! Do you think that this is going to change my opinion about you? Do you think this is going to make up for what you did to my mother? Do you think this is going to appease Lucian?" Each word Amelia said hit Nicholas like a sharp knife.

Rendered speechless, Nicholas stood there idly as Amelia stormed out.

When she left the study, Lucian was nowhere to be found.

She needed to explain herself to Lucian because he had thoroughly misunderstood her.
