Since She Met Lucian

"Why are you crying?" Mrs. Chen's voice was filled with concern after noticing tear stains on Amelia's cheeks.

"What?" Amelia wiped the tears on her face and smiled. "Maybe I'm sweating."

When she said it out loud, her excuse didn't look convincing enough. That was why she ended up exposing her real intention to Lucian.

"My silly girl, it's fine if you cry." Mrs. Chen patted Amelia's head gently. "You are pregnant now. Mood swings aren't good for your health."

Amelia was so shocked that she couldn't find words to say for a long time. She squeezed out a few words in a low voice, "How did you find out?" She never showed any signs of morning sickness in front of the landlady. How did Mrs. Chen figure it out?

"Well, a handsome young man just told me about it and brought a lot of food for you. He asked me to make sure you're okay." Mrs. Chen had a smile on her face.

Young man? Amelia's eyes widened when she realized it was Lucian. She rushed to the room and gasped at what she saw. Foodstuffs were piled up in the middle. She felt a twisted pain in her heart at that.

It was so easy for Lucian to find out this news. She had lied on his face about it. What would Lucian think about her stupid and naive lie?

It would only increase the distance between the two of them.

She thought that Lucian would never contact her again after severing their relationship. But to her surprise, the supermarket manager called her the next day to say that pregnant women shouldn't work too much. He even terminated her job.

Just how did the manager find out about her pregnancy?

Anger in her heart ignited, and she dialed a familiar number. She hadn't dialed this number for a long time. Emotions swirled in her heart, remembering the past.

"Hello." A magnetic voice echoed in her ears, quickening her heartbeat. Amelia was excited and nervous. She was indeed angry, but her heart was moved by Lucian's actions behind her back.

She took multiple breaths to calm down and asked, "Why did you do this? I don't have a job now!"

She didn't mean to get mad, but she couldn't help it.

Lucian replied coldly, "Should a pregnant woman work?"

Amelia was rendered speechless. How can pregnancy be a proper reason for staying at home in the first few weeks? Lucian had crossed all limits in being overprotective.
