Since She Met Lucian

"Mrs. Amelia, you like lilies too!" Lily said excitedly as she walked over and immediately caught a whiff of the scent of the lilies. "Back in our hometown, we have a valley that was filled with lilies. I used to play there all the time and I'd always pick a bunch of lilies to take home with me."

"Really? If it's possible, I'd like to visit your hometown one of these days," Amelia replied happily.

The ever observant Lily couldn't help but notice that there were exactly 11 lilies. She couldn't help but ask in curiosity, "Eleven flowers symbolize your one true love for the rest of your life. Is this for Mr. Lucian?"

At the mention of Lucian, Amelia's hand froze as she was organizing the flowers. That wasn't her intention at all. She just happened to randomly pick 11 lilies.

"What can we cook for dinner? I'm so hungry." Amelia decided to change the subject.

Lily didn't press anymore. Instead, she merrily said, "Mr. Lucian cares about you so much, Mrs. Amelia. He called to tell me to cook dinner for you since you were on your way home already. I actually thought you were coming home together."

Lily then started serving Amelia some rice.

"So Lucian had already called you before I came home?" Amelia asked in surprise.

Thinking of Lucian going on a date with Sasha put Amelia in a foul mood.

"I didn't think you'd come home for dinner, Mrs. Amelia. I only started cooking after Mr. Lucian called me," Lily replied frankly.

During dinner, Amelia was lost in her thoughts. She wondered how Lucian knew where she was. Could it be that he had asked someone to follow her?

She knew that it was definitely a possibility since this was Lucian we were talking about. Was there anything he couldn't do?

She had no idea if Lucian was going home that night. When clock struck midnight, she decided she wasn't going to wait any longer. Shutting off the lights, she covered herself in her quilt. However, her mind was racing—her thoughts wouldn't let her go to sleep.

She just kept wondering the same thing: why Lucian still wasn't home. Was he with Sasha now?

It was difficult being in her position—overthinking every single thing over a man and now more than ever, Amelia knew how stressful it was.

She held her phone in her hand, thinking if she could call Lucian. She went back and forth, turning her phone on and off until she finally decided against it.

She slept fitfully that night. When her alarm rang, she immediately got up since she was half asleep the entire night anyway. Her eyes were sore and swollen. Checking the time, she quickly sat up on the bed which made her feel dizzy. Feeling a little defeated, she lay on the bed again. She wanted to get up but she had no energy since she had little sleep that night. However, she had no choice. So she got up and washed up to prepare for work.
