Michael poured out all his emotions to Amelia. He told her everything.
Amelia could really agree to him. It was truly difficult to accept someone you didn't love.
"But I made a promise to her so I must keep it." A hint of pain flashed through Michael's eyes and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Amelia fell silent. She felt bad seeing his painful expression.
They had almost finished the two dozens of beers they had ordered so Amelia already felt drunk. She excused herself and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
When she came back to their table, Michael wasn't there anymore.
She went to the bar counter to ask the bartender if he had seen Michael.
However, before she could say a word, she was suddenly pulled by someone from behind.
Amelia sobered up a little because of shock. She struggled to break free and turned to the person who held her.
She saw a handsome but cold face staring at her. A face that was very familiar to her. "L-Lucian?" she uttered in surprise.
"Wow! You can still recognize me even if you're drunk. I think you are really good at drinking, Mrs. Amelia," said Lucian with a scorn. The next thing Amelia knew, Lucian threw her into the backseat of the car then he sat next to her.
She suddenly felt the spasm in her stomach and her face twisted because it hurt a lot. She pressed her belly to alleviate the pain.
When Lucian noticed it, his frown deepened. "Frank, bring us to the nearest hospital," he ordered to the driver angrily.
"Have you seen Michael?" asked Amelia innocently.
Lucian got angrier because Amelia still cared for someone else even if she was already in pain. But since he knew what kind of person Amelia was, he
e seemed to be in a good mood already since he had been smiling since they had entered the room.
"Yes, but I don't think you would tell me about it," she answered directly.
Lucian looked at her dotingly and said, "Go take a shower first. I will tell you everything you want to know."
Amelia's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? You will tell me everything?" she asked to confirm. She suddenly felt thrilled. When Lucian nodded and the smile on his face widened, Amelia said excitedly, "Lucian, just give me ten minutes. I'll finish taking a shower in less than ten minutes."
Looking at her serious look, Lucian displayed a bigger smile on his face.
At first, Amelia thought that Lucian only said those words to coax her into taking a shower. But to her surprise, Lucian was still waiting on the sofa when she went out of the bathroom.
"Aren't you going to take a shower?" she asked. She noticed that Lucian was already wearing a night robe.
"I've taken a shower in the other room," he replied patiently.
"Uh..." Amelia scratched her head in embarrassment. She didn't know what else to say.
"Come here."
Since she was standing a bit far from Lucian, he pointed the space beside him hinting her to sit down.
Amelia walked towards him like a puppet.
"When the An Group went bankrupt, I didn't mean to annex its properties to the Zhan Group. All I wanted was to give Jonny a heavy blow." Lucian started his explanation the moment Amelia was seated beside him.
Initially, she didn't care much about these problems. However, because of Lucian's background, he constantly had a connection with the An family. For this reason, Amelia became interested in matters like this.
