Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 70 The Urge To Have A Baby

"Let's welcome the CEO and his wife with a warm round of applause!" The middle-aged man in front led the applause by getting up enthusiastically and clapping his hands to which the rest followed suit—a round of applause bursting in the room.

The crowd started buzzing amongst themselves. Mostly, they talked about who the mysterious young lady of the Zhan Group was—she was dressed so simply and mostly kept to herself.

"We're so sorry for the short-sightedness that we didn't recognize you. Please accept our apology." A woman came up and bowed to Amelia guiltily.

Amelia immediately pulled her up, frowning. She said sincerely, "I don't mind! It's fine. Don't think about it. It's not a big deal."

Amelia had never wanted to be treated as the superior Mrs. Amelia and she didn't want to be judged for it.

"She is kind and nice. You don't have to be so restrained," after a while, Lucian finally spoke. He dragged her to his side and looked at her affectionately.

"Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia did all the cooking. She even helped us to pick the ingredients and cut the vegetables. You'd be hard-pressed to find such a good wife like her." Perhaps it was Lucian's words that made the women feel a bit more comfortable. They spoke highly of Amelia and seemed sincere in their words.

The rest of women followed suit in complimenting Amelia. They all collectively thought that she was a good and capable woman. Amelia had to make do with the circumstances despite having to cook for a lot of people. It surprised them that she was able to do it.

Amelia flushed in the face of all the compliments she was receiving, lowering her head bashfully.

A faint smile played on the corner of Lucian's mouth while his eyes gleamed in pride.

"I want to try the food you cooked," Lucian whispered in Amelia's ear, his voice low and deep.

Amelia was just planning to stay for lunch and since Lucian already brought it up, she was saved from the hassle of having to ask.

The food smelled great. Everyone was excited to dig in.

While Amelia was normally closed off and shy, this time, she was willing to socialize with the people here.

As they ate, Lucian would put food in Amelia's bowl all the while thanking her for all her hard work.

Even though Lucian spoke in a low voice, everyone was all ears. They exchanged knowing glances which made Amelia feel uncomfortable.

"Enjoy your meal," she murmured before devouring the food in her bowl.

During the meal, Amelia received a lot of praise from the guests. They spoke highly of Amelia's cooking skills, commenting how lucky Lucian was to have her as his wife.
