Amelia didn't expect that Lucian would be so obedient. She happily helped him go upstairs while giggling secretly.
"You get some rest first. I'll make soup for you downstairs." She thought that Lucian deserved to have a good rest. It was her time to take care of him and perform her duty as a wife.
But when she was about to stand up, Lucian held her hand and pleaded like a child, "Don't leave yet. Stay with me for a while."
Amelia looked at her hand that was being gripped by Lucian. She then smiled sweetly and replied, "I'll just cook some soup for you. I'll be back very soon."
"I don't need any soup. As long as I can see your beautiful face, I am already more than happy. I don't need anything else," Lucian said in a soothing voice. A warm smile lit up his handsome face.
Amelia lowered her head, feeling embarrassed. "That's not true. I am not that powerful," she said.
"Who said you're not?" Lucian wrapped his arm around her waist and planted a kiss on her cheeks. "Looking at you always makes me feel good," he said sweetly.
"By the way, Lucian, about your mother's death..." Amelia hesitated to continue.
She wasn't sure if it was okay to bring up such topic. But since Lucian seemed to be in a good mood, she thought of giving it a try.
However, Lucian immediately pulled a long face upon hearing her unfinished sentence. A cold expression flashed through his eyes. Obviously, this topic was still inauspicious.
"Would you believe that Fannie was the one behind it?" Lucian's eyes dimmed when he spoke. His eyes filled with sorrow in an instant.
Amelia was stunned for a long time. "You mean mom?" she asked to co
ed behind her.
Maybe because of those appalling things that happened between them, Amelia felt awkward seeing the two of them.
"Hello, Amelia. It's been a long time. It seems that you gain some weight," greeted Jonny. He sat opposite to Amelia without even waiting for her invitation. He was wearing that same old sunny smile and he looked more relaxed.
"You can't call her chubby, alright? She used to be so skinny but now she looks great," Claire immediately retorted. She then turned to Amelia and gave her an apologetic look. "Amelia, Jonny just doesn't know how to express himself clearly. Please don't misunderstand him. I hope you are not angry," she added.
"Well... It's fine." It actually didn't matter to Amelia at all. As a matter of fact, Claire's explanation made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Honey, you always have a silver tongue," Jonny praised Claire with a naughty smile on his face. Amelia was surprised with what she heard.
"Honey? You two?" She pointed at the two people sitting in front of her and asked, "Have you gotten married?"
Claire's face flushed as she nodded shyly. She then touched Jonny's arm with her elbow and requested, "Tell Amelia everything."
"Here's the thing..." Jonny started to tell Amelia the whole story.
It turned out, they were tested by fate but eventually ended up with each other.
But since Jonny and Claire had pretended to be a couple in the past, it was difficult for Amelia to believe that they had really gotten married for real.
She knew that Claire loved Jonny so much. But Jonny had no feelings for her at all. So she didn't expect that the two would end up together.
