Lucian knew that Amelia did not understand what he had meant. He took out his phone and showed her the pictures that Jonny had sent.
"How could Jonny do this?" Amelia's anger rose as she looked through the photos.
No wonder the guard let her in without question. It was all part of Jonny and Claire's plan, and Amelia had fallen unwittingly into their trap.
She slapped her forehead in frustration. "How could I be so stupid!"
Lucian was unable to fend off the amusement that came at the sight of her furrowed brows. "That's what you get for acting on your own. From now on, you should know better and just stay at home. I'll take care of the rest," he said, planting a small, affectionate kiss on her ears.
"So you agree that I'm stupid?" Amelia's frown deepened as Lucian's face broke into a grin.
He responded as if he was talking to a child, "Of course, not. If Mrs. Amelia, my wife, the mother of my child can understand my words, then she's not stupid, right?"
Amelia's face flushed at his obvious teasing. "You're a bully! How dare you…Hmm!"
But before she could finish her words, Lucian's lips stopped hers.
His kisses grew more passionate as the night deepened, their limbs intertwining under the cover of the dark.
It was already noon when Amelia woke up.
Her eyes fluttered open, lingering between the edge of sleep and wakefulness. The other side of the bed was empty and the clock showed that it was already 12 o'clock. Slowly, she stirred, sitting up and wondering about the strange soreness in her limbs...
As her mind shrugged off the last traces of sleep, images from the previous night flooded her c
y a happy occasion. But Amelia couldn't ward off the uneasiness that brewed inside her.
Jonny was a man with an insatiable thirst for revenge. The collapse of the An Group would undoubtedly be one more addition to his list.
What's more, the reporter's question just now fueled their dispute.
It was not only Lily who was particularly happy at the turn of events. Even Kent had called to congratulate. Courtney also said that Lin Group could rely on the protection of the An Group.
Holding Mark in her arms, Amelia played with him in the bedroom. Her son tugged at her and said in broken sentences, "Mommy, Mommy... Grandpa... Visit Grandpa…"
Earlier, Lily had told Amelia that it was Frank who sent Mark home.
Mark was learning to speak much more clearly than before, so Amelia took little time to understand him. When she realized what he meant, she held Mark in her arms and asked eagerly, "Mark, tell mom. Did dad take you to see Grandpa today?"
Mark looked at her blankly. The expression on his face was quite adorable.
"Mark, did you see Grandpa?" Amelia asked again, going slower this time so Mark could follow her words.
With a nod, Mark said, "Grandpa... Grandpa... "
"All right, all right. I won't ask you anymore. Come on. Are you hungry? Let's go downstairs to have dinner." Amelia carried Mark in her arms as they went down. They were in the middle of the stairs when the door swung open to show Lucian.
"Mr. Lucian, you looked so handsome today in the news!" Lily greeted him.
Ignoring Lily's fawning, Lucian turned his head to Amelia and said, "You were still sleeping this morning, so I took Mark out."
