Chapter 338 Time Is The Answer

Jonny admitted that Claire did everything to stay with him.

It would take a lot of money to set up a new company. And in order to cut costs, Claire took care of all the trivial tasks.

No matter how hardhearted he was, he couldn't bear to see a vulnerable woman suffer for him, let alone stay with him for nothing.

"Amelia, he initially thought I had impure motives for wanting to stay with him. Only when he had nothing left and I was still around did he realize how valuable I am." A satisfied smile appeared on Claire's face. She was a shy woman but she couldn't help feel proud of herself for how things turned out.

"Lucian said he had an important meeting this afternoon, so we decided to ask you out instead, Amelia."

Amelia told Lucian that she would go out that afternoon and asked Frank to drive her there.

"Jonny and I appreciate Mr. Lucian's help, Amelia, as well as your tolerance. We really appreciate everything you've done for us and we'll always be grateful to you both," said Claire sincerely.

"I don't like making promises, but after what happened, I've learned some important lessons. I'd like to focus on two things for the future: work hard to provide a good life for my mother and Claire, and strive to be worthy of the help that you and Lucian extended to us," promised Jonny.

They both expressed their gratitude to Amelia and Lucian as they held tea cups in their hands.

It was fortunate that Amelia finally met them here and this dispelled the uneasiness in Amelia's heart.

Only time could truly tell if they would hold on to their promises.

When she got home that evening, Amelia told Lucian exactly what had happened during her meeting with Jonny and Claire.

She expected Lucian to be surprised, happ

er. She finished her food quickly and then immediately went upstairs.

Lucian followed her upstairs not long afterwards. She was tidying up the closet when he got there. He approached her slowly and then wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. "I know what you're trying to do. But Mark is just two years old. It would be hasty for us to ask him to do all that," Lucian whispered to her in his usual husky voice.

"I was able to eat by myself when I was just two years old!" Amelia replied and set herself as an example.

A smile crossed Lucian's lips at Amelia's words. "Of course, that is to be expected. My wife is a fiercely independent woman!" he gently replied back to her.

"But that is not the point. The point is that our son should not grow up like a spoiled kid!"

"Do you really believe that your husband will teach our son to be a playboy?" Lucian asked with a slight smile. He was confident in the way he would teach and raise his children.

"I'm with him every day, but he always throw himself into your arms and blame me for what he doesn't like. And yet, you never really spend a lot of time with him! It's just so unfair!" Amelia vented out as she folded her arms across her chest. She looked as if she had been aggrieved very badly.

Lucian laughed heartily at her words. He then kissed her when his laughter subsided. "I really have a way to show off my charm," he proudly said.

"Are you saying that I'm not attractive enough?" Amelia asked. It was as if the more Lucian said, the more depressed she became.

"All right, all right. Mark is still just a little boy. How can he be naughty enough to be so against you already? Just be patient with him. He just might ask you to hold him later," Lucian calmly explained.
