Chapter 299 Like A Divorced Couple

Amelia said in disbelief. She didn't expect that Fannie could be so horrible.

"So you fought with her and she hurt you in the process?" If Fannie was doing all of this as a way to guard herself against Amelia, then she was just being overly paranoid about nothing.

Not once had Amelia thought of relying on the Zhan Group for rest of her life.

"In addition to that, she's also suspicious of Mark. She says we can't really be sure that Mark is actually Lucian's son and that we need to do a DNA test to confirm..." Nicholas was so furious that when he had realized that he had said all this, it was already too late. He hadn't intended to tell Amelia this but in his anger, he wasn't able to control himself. When he looked up, he found that Amelia's face was white as a sheet.

Fannie had always questioned Mark's real father because Amelia had lived in Jonny's villa for quite a bit when she was pregnant.

Amelia figured that the best way to respond was to not respond at all. That was normally how rumors died down. However, she didn't expect that Fannie would still push her suspicions of Mark despite everything.

"Don't mind her. She's just being paranoid. Don't take her seriously," Nicholas comforted Amelia immediately.

Not wanting to be a downer, Amelia forced a smile and shook her head. "I'm fine. Clean hands don't need washing."

"You really don't need to worry. As long as I'm here, she can't touch you," Nicholas said, his eyes sharp and determined.

Amelia, when are we going to start communicating calmly with each other? We're fighting over a small disagreement," Lucian said, sounding worried.

This rendered Amelia speechless. After a short silence, she answered, "Maybe our whole relationship is a mistake."

She looked at the ceiling and recalled all the things that had happened, feeling tired.

"Okay, Mark is awake. I have to go." Lucian's voice was soft but Amelia could tell that he was already getting impatient.

Amelia didn't want to fight anymore so she asked calmly before he hung up, "Do you want me to pick up Mark at the SJ Garden or are you going to bring him back to the Zhan mansion?"

They were talking as if they were already a divorced couple.

After a short pause, Lucian said in a low voice, "I'll send Mark back."

Then the next thing Amelia heard was the dial tone—Lucian had already hung up. A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Amelia's lips. 'Did I go too far?' she asked herself.

No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't understand why Lucian would do that.

As she sat in her room alone, tears started streaming down her face.

After she had finished crying, the pain in her waist had subsided already. She got up from bed, washed up, and headed downstairs.

Meanwhile, Nicholas had gotten up early. He was already in the living room, reading the newspaper.

As soon as Nicholas saw Amelia, he put down the newspaper and smiled. "Amelia, did you sleep well last night?"
