It was fortunate that Lucian stopped pushing Amelia away. But when they entered their bedroom, he quickly fell asleep on their bed.
Amelia spent a lot of time trying to fix Lucian's sleeping position and taking off his clothes which reeked with the smell of alcohol.
When she finally lay down beside him, Lucian suddenly murmured something vague but it was too quiet for her to hear.
The next day, Amelia woke up on her side of the bed. She looked beside her for Lucian but he was no longer there.
Amelia was a little surprised that she slept so soundly that she didn't know when Lucian had left.
She then thought of where Lucian could possibly be. After a few moments, the sound of water trickling down from the bathroom quickly calmed her down.
Eventually, Lucian stepped out of the bathroom with water still dripping from his hair.
Amelia forced herself to get it together. She approached him and candidly said, "Lucian, I'll get you a towel."
She had seen Lucian's strong muscles multiple times but every time she saw them, she still couldn't stop her heart from beating so fast.
"No need," Lucian replied in a timid voice while he held her slender wrist.
Amelia was left to stay still, thinking to herself that something was wrong with Lucian because of his tone. But when she thought of how drunk he was last night, she figured that his stomach might just be upset today. So she simply looked at him and tried to understand his condition. She then calmly said,
"I overslept this morning. You should have woken me up to cook something for you. I'll go to the kitchen right now to make some porridge so you can eat."
Lucian's eyes fell on the blank expressio
he could be with at this moment and suddenly thought of Michael.
Fortunately, Michael's phone number was still on her phone. She dialed it and it took him a long time to answer.
"Hey, Michael, it's Amelia. Have you seen Lucian?" Amelia said. It was just a few words, but it caused her to pant heavily.
"Relax Amelia, Lucian's right here next to me," Michael replied with a serious tone.
After finding out that Lucian was with him, Amelia felt a bit of relief. She continued to ask, "Michael, could you please tell me where you are? I'll come and pick him up."
Her voice was timid but it sounded somewhat impulsive. But at that moment, she only thought that she needed to see Lucian, or she wouldn't be able to calm down.
Michael responded with a heavy sigh. He refused to tell her their whereabouts and replied instead, "Don't worry, Lucian will be fine with me."
All of a sudden, Amelia felt like her heart was struck by an arrow. She felt immense pain and said, "Is it because Lucian doesn't want to see me? Then please take care of Lucian for me."
After hanging up the phone, Michael looked at Lucian sitting in front of him and asked, "Are you really going to avoid Amelia?"
Lucian finally had an expression other than anger, but there was still no joy whatsoever.
"Alright, let's stay at my house tonight. It's not that great but it's better than a hotel!" Michael teasingly exclaimed while he took the bottle in front of Lucian away. He then stood up and tried to help Lucian stand up as well.
"No thanks, it's better if I go home." He couldn't deny that there was some sadness in his heart. No matter how much he drank, he still felt sober all over his body.
