Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 56 Keeping A Proper Distance

"What a coincidence indeed!" Lucian greeted with a smile. "Amelia wanted to visit her alma mater," he continued as he held Amelia's hand, "I decided to come with her."

Amelia beamed at Jonny as well as she nodded approvingly.

Seeing the way Amelia and Lucian got together so well, Jonny couldn't help but be stunned. "Well, since we've bumped into each other like this, let's take a walk together," Jonny said with a smile of his own.

Not knowing what to say, Amelia looked up at Lucian to see if he wanted to go with Jonny or not.

Much to her surprise, Lucian nodded at Jonny's invitation.

Amelia tightened her hand around Lucian's, making her feel more at ease.

This made Lucian feel at ease as well, and instantly put him in a much better mood.

Meanwhile, Jonny quietly looked at the two. Although there was still a smile on his face, there was a pained and sad look in his eyes.

He had planned to invite Amelia to visit Imperial Middle School when he called her. But when he found out that she was out with Lucian, he felt very disappointed.

Jonny didn't think that they would actually run into each other today.

"You seem to still remember the ins and outs of this place, Jonny." They had reached the crystal clear lake just behind the main campus building. It was the place where Amelia and Jonny had a talk from before.

"We've studied here for a while after all," Jonny defended. "This place is bound to leave some sort of impression on us, don't you think?" "Well, I don't remember anything,"

Lucian said in a low voice, his face darkening.

There was an indecipherable smile on Jonny's face as he looked at Lucian. Finally he sighed and shook his head, "Never mind then."

Amelia furrowed her eyebrows. 'What are they talking about?' she wondered to herself. 'Maybe it's some inside joke between them? Well, I was a few years younger than they were...'

"I'm sorry to cut our visit short, but I think we should be heading back now," Lucian suddenly said.

Surprised, Amelia looked up at Lucian and saw that the smile on his face was replaced with a deep frown.

Ever since Amelia and Lucian got here, Lucian seemed like he was not enjoying himself. At first she thought that he was bored, but she didn't expect that a few words from Jonny would spoil his mood even more.

"Okay," Jonny replied with a nod. Then he turned to look at Amelia, "Hey, maybe I'll see you around soon?"

"Well... Okay," Amelia smiled uneasily and blushed. "Happy new year," she said.

After their quick good byes, Lucian held onto Amelia's hand and walked back to the car. His strides were long and quick that Amelia almost had to run just to keep up. When they got into the car, Lucian drove back to SJ Garden without uttering a single word.
