Since She Met Lucian

There possibly couldn't be a person in the world who wanted to be deceived. In this case, it was really difficult for Lucian to give a proper response.

The only thing Amelia could do was to hope that Lucian would feel better tomorrow.

The next morning, Amelia got up a lot later than usual. Perhaps it was because of the soft patter of the rain outside. She got out of bed and hurriedly got dressed before running downstairs, thinking that Lucian had already left. Upon reaching the kitchen, she saw that Lucian was still there, leisurely having his coffee. He cast her a cold glance before drawing his attention back to the newspaper in his hand.

'Huh... He seems to be relaxed even though I woke up late,' Amelia thought.

"Mrs. Amelia, come here to have breakfast," Lily greeted when she saw Amelia come down the stairs.

Slowly, Amelia went to the table and sat down. 'I thought that Lucian would say something about how I woke up late,' she thought since she was twenty minutes late. But she puzzled as she looked at Lucian who still hadn't said a single thing to her.

After carefully looking at Lucian, Amelia looked at the food on the table. Her stomach rumbled, and soon could no longer resist the temptation of the delicious food in front of her. One bite after the other, Amelia barely chewed on the food she swallowed.

She thought that it was likely that Lucian would tell her to hurry up as soon as she started to eat.

Not to mention that she would still have to put on her shoes. Amelia took a gulp of water to help push down the food in her throat.

Just when she was about to finish her meal, she saw Lucian walk over slowly and help himself to some food.

Furrowing her brows, Amelia looked at the clock and saw that they only had ten minutes left. "Aren't we going to be late?" Amelia asked Lucian anxiously.

'Why is he so relaxed? He's always been so uptight about being punctual,' she wondered. With ten minutes left to spare, Lucian was going to be late for work at this rate. He took his time eating, chewing his food slowly and leisurely.

Lucian didn't answer Amelia nor did he even look up at her.

Not willing to take any chances, Amelia went to the hallway and put on her shoes. 'He might suddenly dart off before I even get to put my shoes on,' she scoffed in her mind.

When Lucian had finished eating, he and Amelia went over to the garage. However, just when Amelia was about to get in, Lucian waved his hand at her to stop. "You already have a car of your own," he said coldly, "I no longer need to drive you around, right?"

"Okay," Amelia said.

Although her tone was calm, her heart was full of helplessness.

After one, last cold glance, Lucian got in the car and drove away.

When the car was out of her sight, Amelia let out a long, deep sigh. Amelia wanted to complain, but she had no strength to deal with it right now.

'I know I'm the one who lied first,' she thought, biting on her lower lip. 'But he didn't have to treat me this way!'
