Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 79 Soap Opera Acting

Not wanting to see them fight, Amelia interrupted. "Mom! Dad! Lunch's ready,"

she blurted. The couple looked at Amelia who quickly averted her eyes by looking down.

"Who are you calling Mom?" The more Amelia spoke, the more Fannie grew furious.

"Ignore her, Amelia. Just because she doesn't want to eat doesn't mean we should starve ourselves," said Nicholas, who was only too happy to be wheeling himself into the dining room.

Across the hall stood Lucian with a frown on his face. He watched everything in silence.

It hadn't occurred to Amelia that things could turn this sour. She stood there, refusing to believe what just happened.

Lucian approached Amelia and tried to comfort her. "You don't have to push yourself to do anything."

Amelia was right, he thought. She didn't have to do what Fannie wanted.

Seeing as no one wanted her there, Fannie marched upstairs, fuming still. But before she could go, she turned back to scream at Lucian, "Sure! Go ahead and ignore me! But I'm doing this for your own good!"

In the dining room, Nicholas praised Amelia's cooking. Fannie's absence made the atmosphere rather delightful. Everyone was able to ease up and enjoy the food.

Lucian expressed the desire to head back after lunch. Not wishing to anger Fannie more, Nicholas didn't press them to stay.

"Guess what Dad told me earlier." Lucian broke the silence as they drove home. A smile was playing on his lips.

Amelia shook her head.

Lucian was playing coy to tease Amelia, but with the gentlest of smiles, he eventually confessed, "He said we should consider having a child."

Amelia's face turned a bright red. She quickly averted her eyes and pretended to look at something outside the car window.

It was a good thing Lucian didn't say anything else, or she would have turned a deeper scarlet out of embarrassment. The rest of the ride home was nothing but quiet.

Monday came as it always did and Amelia had to return to Zhan Group with Lucian. Work had always been simple and easy, and she found that it was there where she felt most at peace.

She felt even more comfortable seeing that Lucian became more caring and attentive. This was after he made a promise in front of her mother's grave that he would spend the rest of his life with Amelia.

Work weeks in the office usually began with a meeting, and seeing that it was almost ten in the morning, Amelia gathered the documents she needed to prepare. With Eric's help, they placed important files in the boardroom before she went to the CEO's office to report to Lucian. They may have a personal relationship, but in that building, they were boss and employee. And like everyone else, Amelia addressed Lucian as "Mr. Lucian" when talking to him.
