Since She Met Lucian

"Are you really showing consideration for your husband?" Lucian couldn't help but smile at how she hastily explained everything before he'd even asked.

He had been so busy these past few days that the holiday had slipped his mind.

"That's not it!" she denied.

She really wasn't in the mood to go to the Mo mansion because she didn't want to see Yolanda and Jasper.

Upon noticing the frown on her face, Lucian already knew what was going on.

He put the computer aside and walked over to her side, whispering, "I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Okay." Amelia raised her head and smiled.

He walked over to the window so he could call Eric and give him a few reminders. Then he walked back to where Amelia was and said, "Do you want to spend the New Year's Eve with me tonight?"

Amelia was watching the New Year's Gala with great interest. When she heard Lucian, she looked at him and asked curiously, "How?"

Lucian didn't know what to respond.

He pulled Amelia up and ordered, "Put on your shoes and let's go out."

Amelia couldn't resist. She followed Lucian's orders as he was going to accompany her to the Mo mansion tomorrow after all and she had to return the favor.

"Why don't you wear the clothes I bought for you?" Lucian asked, frowning, upon noticing how plainly Amelia was dressed.

Amelia was tall and slender and she preferred to dress as ordinarily as she could.

"The clothes you bought are too expensive..." she said slowly.

"Well, now I know what it means to be so bizarre." Lucian shook his head, looking helpless. On the inside, he was amused.

Amelia worried that she was dressed inappropriately. Looking down at her clothes, she said in a low voice, "The long, red, cotton coat, jeans, flats boots. They're all very nice...

I like wearing red especially that we're celebrating the new year tomorrow."

"I didn't say it's not beautiful. I just wanted to see you wear the clothes I bought for you," Lucian said, raising his eyebrows.

"I'm not your property. Why should I wear the clothes for you?" Amelia replied arrogantly then she added, "A confident woman is the most beautiful woman."
