"Lucian, why don't you let go of yourself?" Amelia could feel the pain in his heart, so she could understand it. But sometimes, his words were really like a knife that pierced through her heart. It was too painful.
Anger flashed through Lucian's eyes. His face turned cold and his tone became unpleasant. "I have always reminded you to tell right from wrong. You know that Jonny is a bad guy. Why did you still come to see him?"
Upon hearing Lucian's words, Amelia was stunned. She didn't know what to say. Tears streamed down her face quietly, she looked pitiful.
Perhaps her silence attracted Lucian's attention. He turned his head and stared at her sorrowful eyes. He said flatly, "If you don't trust me enough, stop caring about how I feel. Just follow your father's arrangement."
If Lucian's words could penetrate people's heart, Amelia would have been devastated.
"Lucian, what are you talking about?" Stunned by his words, Amelia turned and stared at Lucian.
Looking straight ahead, Lucian didn't answer her question.
When he arrived at SJ Garden, he went upstairs and entered his study directly.
Amelia stood quietly in the living room. She couldn't do anything but stared at Lucian's receding back.
With Mark in her arms, Lily walked up to Amelia. She looked at Lucian's direction first then at Amelia with perplexed expression on her face. "Mrs. Amelia, have you and Mr. Lucian fought?" she asked.
Amelia had her own feelings too. She didn't answer Lily's question. She just took Ma
im but she chose to keep it in her mind.
She was moved by this thought. Somehow, she felt happy that Lucian still cared for her.
But when they went upstairs, Lucian said that he would sleep in the guest room. He said he didn't want to wake her up early in the morning.
Amelia was so disappointed. She was deeply hurt. Her relationship with Lucian was definitely a roller coaster ride. Sometimes happiness, sometimes disappointment.
Lucian didn't wait for Amelia to respond. He went to the closet to get the clothes he would need for the next day and went to the guest room. Amelia just watched him going out of the door.
During dinner, Amelia's heart was filled with joy. All of a sudden, it was now covered with sadness.
The next morning when Amelia woke up, Lucian had already left. Even Lily who got up very early also didn't see him.
After lunch, Amelia received a phone call from an unknown caller.
When she answered the phone, it was a middle-aged man who introduced himself as Edmund.
Amelia trembled a little when she heard the name. She wasn't really familiar with Edmund's voice although she had spoken with him during the time that the Zhan Group was in a crisis.
"What can I do for you?" Although she didn't like Edmund, she still showed respect for him.
Edmund laughed on the other end of the line. His laughter seemed to hint something although it was obscure. "Amelia... Oh no, I should call you daughter-in-law. I actually didn't expect that we will become family someday."
