Since She Met Lucian

As soon as the car arrived at the SJ Garden, Lucian took off his coat and the coat Amelia had put on her own shoulder. He said possessively, "My woman can only wear my clothes."

Looking at his childish yet serious face, Amelia said nothing but felt happy.

Girls like to be cared and loved by boys. They enjoy a sweet caress and a warm embrace. Being loved and capable of reciprocating love is, to them, one of the most pleasant things in the world. Amelia was entranced by that very feeling right now. As though her heart was filled with vast oceans of ecstasy.

But the coat wasn't hers. It was Jonny's and she couldn't lose it, so she took it from Lucian and held it in her arms.

Lucian felt jealous at the sight of Amelia's reaction but he didn't want to show it. He had to bury the impulse to get to the bottom of the matter.

"I'll go upstairs first." She planned to wash Jonny's coat in the washing machine and return it to him.

Seeing she was holding the well-designed suit made of plain but soft fabric, Lucian couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to take that upstairs?"

"Oh... Yes." Amelia froze. Every inch of her body quickly stiffened with panic. She looked at him and explained, "It's from a kind man! I don't think it's appropriate to throw it away."

"So it is." He smiled enough to conceal the jealousy. "I'll wait for you in the bedroom," he reminded her.

"Bedroom?" With widened eyes, Amelia was at a loss for what Lucian meant.

Noticing how confused she looked, Lucian appeased her. "I wanted to ask for your opinion. But since you seem anxious to know right away, I will tell you directly."

"Lucian, what are you doing? What's going on?" By this time, Lucian was a few meters away from Amelia, and he entered her room.

"We must sleep in the same room tonight," he spoke in a calm and smooth tone without a hint of embarrassment or hesitation at all. So much so, he began collecting Amelia's toiletries.

Tonight at Shelly's birthday party, Fannie let the cat out of the bag as evidence of Lucian's discord with Amelia. She said Lucian just wanted to cheat them with the excuse that he married Amelia.

What Fannie said had hit the nail on the head. Lucian, however, had a crush on Amelia now and didn't want her to think they were still contractually bound in matrimony.

Amelia was stunned. She couldn't fathom how all these were being unraveled to her.

After a short while, Lucian moved all of Amelia's necessities to the master bedroom.
