Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 99 A New Job

Amelia's face went red with panic.

"Johnny, I actually, um, I want to move out of here if that's okay," Amelia stuttered.

"You can't move out just yet. Now is not a good time," Jonny quickly replied.

"When I give birth, it will only bring us more trouble," Amelia argued. She didn't want to put Jonny in the middle of a scandal. Moreover, she didn't want anyone to say anything spiteful about her child.

Jonny seemed to have read her mind. "You're worried there might be a scandal, so you want to end this relationship now," he confirmed.

Amelia acknowledged that it was one of the reasons. She pursed her lips and tried to avoid Jonny's knowing look. But she eventually turned to him and added firmly, "Please let me move out."

Jonny's face fell. After a moment of silence, he replied to Amelia, "I didn't realize you were so eager to be rid of me." A bitter smile played on Jonny's lips. It made Amelia feel a tinge of guilt.

"Jonny, I didn't know I was pregnant. I was as clueless as you. Now, I just want to live a peaceful life alone and find work to support myself and my baby." It was because she trusted Jonny that she felt comfortable to confess her honest thoughts.

"Amelia, do you really think that I'm less capable than Lucian of helping you? Did you think that those words won't make me worry about you and your future?" Jonny looked at her with hurt in his eyes. He kept his voice low and yet Amelia heard the concern in his tone.

Amelia fell speechless.

Perhaps it was because Jonny didn't want her to feel even more anxious that he reluctantly agreed. He added, however, "We have to keep our relationship."

Amelia furrowed her brows in confusion. She didn't understand what Jonny meant.

He had already agreed to help her move out. Why did he still insist on maintaining their pretend relationship?

"I'll help you move out when the time is right. For now, you have to stay," Jonny replied grimly.

Jonny's words didn't make much sense to Amelia. She only nodded and said, "I hope you find your true love soon."

This way, she hoped that she wouldn't have to pretend to be his girlfriend anymore, and everyone would finally be happy.
