Since She Met Lucian

Suddenly Amelia realized she was actually getting teased by her husband. She stopped moving and glared at Lucian furiously.

Watching his wife sulking cutely, Lucian smirked. He enjoyed teasing his sweet wife, but couldn't see her irked for a longer period. Clearly she was annoyed right now. Thus he coaxed, "I apologize sweetheart. It's just I enjoy it a little too much when you care for me like this. This won't happen again. I promise." To emphasize his words, he touched his right hand to his heart as a promising gesture.

Amelia rolled her eyes at his drama. He sometimes behaved like a child. But this new found goofiness in him was although absurd, she had started to like this side of him. She stared into his eyes and all her vexation melted away. She slapped his hand away as a playful gesture and huffed, "So, you didn't mean I treated you poorly? Because, it definitely sounded so."

"Oh! Did it?" Lucian teased her once more. Then smiled watching her pout again, "Oh! My sweet wife. Of course, I didn't mean that." He continued after a small pause, "You know what? You are the most beautiful and courteous wife in the whole world." He took the opportunity of her speechlessness and pulled her flush against him. Amelia blushed in his arms and giggled, "Having a sweet talk. Are we?" Although she said that verbally, but she was beaming like crazy. His love made her heart swell.

"However, Mrs. Amelia," Lucian started in a complaining tone, "You've committed an offense just now. Your harsh strike upon my delicate feet has hurt me something serious." Lucian murmured in her ears flirtatiously as he pulled her even closer.

Amelia almost believed him at first. She frowned at first then when she realized his intention, she played along. "Really? Then we should visit a doctor immediately. Is there a doctor's clinic nearby?"

"Oh! No need for that. Besides, it's just early morning. No doctor is available now except..." Lucian breathed, "If you wish, you can cure me pretty quickly." Soon after saying so, without giving her any time to respond, he pressed his lips on hers and concealed every worry she might be having in her heart.

Throughout the week after the New Year, they would visit shopping malls, movies and other places during the day and at night, after returning home, Lucian would treat her extra special. Amelia really thought they were living a cute couple life literally.

However the good time passed by quickly and it was time for Lucian to leave for his work. Even so, Amelia wasn't really upset, because she knew, no matter how much time his work required from him, he would always return to her.

On the other side, Lily appeared refreshed after her vacation. She was in her usual cheerful mood the next morning while making breakfast. When she saw Amelia coming downstairs, she flashed a bright smile at her and then gushed, "Mrs. Amelia, I have a good news for you."

"Oh? Look at you! You're looking so energetic and happy. Are you in love?" Amelia asked returning the smile. Amelia knew something was definitely up as Lily was looking so refreshed and giddy. So, she guessed the reason of her happiness which she hope would turn out true.

Lily was a 20-year-old young and pretty woman. It was absolutely normal for women of her age falling in love with some gentleman.

Lily gasped, "Mrs. Amelia, how did you guess? I had thought to surprise you." Then it was indeed true. Lily was in love.

Amelia grinned, "I'm sorry that you missed the chance of surprising me. But I'm so happy for you. And I can definitely see that you had special time during the past few days!" Amelia was indeed happy for Lily from the bottom of her heart. But then the thought dawned on her. She looked at her with a sad smile as she asked, "Then you're leaving us? Because now that you have a boyfriend, you'd probably be moving with him."

The thought of Lily leaving her, made Amelia genuinely sad.

Lily's smile vanished in an instant. She sighed as she eyed Amelia sadly, "My boyfriend lives in the same town as mine. His family is rich as they have an illustrious business of several chain stores. He had indeed asked me to move with him and run the business alongside him."

This was undoubtedly a good offer. Although upset, Amelia assured with a smile, "Lily, no one is pressing you. It's your choice. So make it wisely and from heart." She paused for a quick second before continuing, "You want to spend the rest of your life with him. So it is up to you whether you want to decrease the distance between you and him now or later. Just know, whatever decision you'll take, I'll be happy for you from my heart."

feel special." Since long, Lily was having trouble to inform this news to Lucian and Amelia. She never really expected Amelia would take it so positively and understand her concern so well. Touched by Amelia's understanding, she felt overwhelmed. But when she remembered Lucian and her contract, it drained colors from her face. She hesitated as she asked Amelia anxiously, "Mrs. Amelia, could you please convince Mr. Lucian about it?" Lily was worried for the contract that she had signed with Lucian. If she resigned suddenly like this, she might be breaking the contract's terms.
