Chapter 280 A Talk (Part One)

The stickiness got wiped away by it, leaving her hand to sense the coldness the tissue left.

She was in fact awed at first. She wanted to ask him didn't Nicholas' decision affect him? Why did he stood by her side then?

After they left the building, Lucian mostly kept quiet. Even the whole time he was driving, he didn't talk much.

Amelia in the beginning although stole a few glances at him sideways, but when he didn't acknowledge her prying glances, she heaved a heavy sigh then concentrated outside the car's window. She rolled down the window to get some fresh air.

In fact, she was really enjoying the sweeping of cool wind on her face. It seemed like it was taking all her stresses away from her. The worried expression on her face turned to calm, when a sudden gust of wind rolled by, blowing across her face, disheveling her hair.

She inhaled deeply and let it out slowly. Then her eyes narrowed at their surroundings. She didn't notice it until now, that Lucian had actually taken her to the seaside. They were about to reach their destination.

A small smile tugged on her lips reminiscing about their past which included their frequent visit to the seaside. They used to go for a leisurely stroll by the sea and spend a quality time together. Over time it grew into a habit to her. Whenever she would be in a bad mood she used to go to the seaside to relief her stresses. But she wasn't sure why Lucian had brought her here today.

She observed the weather outside. Fortunately, it was good today. The sun above was shining softly, the heat was moderate, and the salty sea breeze was blowing with a medium speed.

She turned

it for a while. Then she shook her head and sighed, "Don't worry. The evidences will be in our favor."

"Are you coming back to the SJ Garden?" on the way back, Lucian asked her gently.

Of course she wanted to go back to the SJ Garden and stay with him. She was missing the old days so much. But when she reminded herself of Fannie, she stopped herself from accepting his offer.

"Your mother's health isn't really in a good condition these days. So, I guess, I will stay at the Zhan mansion for a while." Fannie was actually admitted in the hospital. But as there was this general shareholders' meeting, she had to come to attend it even with her illness.

"My mother wouldn't have a problem if you come back. She would move to another house," as if aware of her concern, Lucian quickly added.

Amelia wanted to accept his offer but still felt it inappropriate. So, she put a temporary end to that conversation with an excuse, "Let's talk about it later."

Lucian didn't insist thereafter.

"Is Sasha living in the SJ Garden?" Amelia focused her attention on Lucian from the passenger's seat.

She felt a sense of jealousy if that was the case.

Lucian frowned at the name of Sasha, not to mention that Amelia could think he would have agreed to let Sasha move in with him.

"You are the only woman Amelia, that I have brought home to stay overnight. Other women are not qualified enough for that position," Lucian told her proudly.

The mention of their first time meeting, reminded her how little they had known about each other yet he had brought her to his home. At that time, it seemed like a scene from a steamy romantic movie.
