Since She Met Lucian

Amelia lowered her head as they headed inside the villa. She followed behind Lucian and Shelly who were busy chatting away. When she finally arrived at the kitchen, she took a deep breath.

Now that she was thinking about it, maybe it was better that she stay in the kitchen to cook. At least this way, she didn't have to be around them and be uncomfortable.

"Mrs. Amelia, what can I do for you?" Darren suddenly went into the kitchen and offered her help.

Amelia was startled by Darren's sudden appearance. When she had calmed down, she quickly waved her hands and said, "No, I'm good. Thank you."

Darren furrowed his eyebrows and then he opened his mouth and closed it several times as if he had something to say.

"Do you have something to say, Darren?" she asked upon noticing the complicated look on Darren's face.

Darren crossed his hands, lost in thought. After a while, he asked with a perplexed look on his face, "Mrs. Amelia, do you really love Lucian?"

Amelia felt her throat constrict as soon as she heard this. She was unable to utter a word.

She'd never thought of that before. She'd never even considered it because how could that be possible when they had no emotional foundation whatsoever?

On paper, Lucian was a good man. He was handsome and he was kind-hearted. He was definitely way better than Jasper who had cheated on her.

He was indeed a good man. It wasn't surprising that countless women clawed after him.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Amelia. I didn't mean to ask you that," he apologized at once.

Since they were already married, she had to play her part. She smiled easily and answered, "You know, the love between two people isn't only measured in how much they express it but in how harmonious they are together, in their everyday lives, and in the little things."

Amelia may be technically lying but she said what was in her heart. To her, that was what made a good marriage.
