Since She Met Lucian

The main reason why Kent broke up with Courtney via text, was that because Melissa was with child.

"Don't you think our fates are so miserable? We've been played out by the same old trick!" Courtney sipped her coffee and laughed at Amelia. "It's so sweet!"

Amelia bit her ruby red lips while she was thinking about what to say to her.

"Don't try to comfort me. I have to thank that baby a little bit! I haven't had let them go too easily if it weren't for the baby's sake!" Courtney said irritably.

Amelia knew that Courtney was just being stubborn but deep inside, she had a soft heart, so she didn't try to comfort her. Instead, she casually proposed, "Do you want to go on a trip?"

"You'll go with me?" Courtney's eyes lit up with excitement. It seemed that she was really serious about this trip.

Amelia almost choked on her coffee.

Amelia couldn't say 'yes' immediately, she wanted to ask for Lucian's opinion first before making a decision. Instead, she said, "Let's put this aside up until we can decide which city we want to go to."

"Amelia, when my parents heard the news that I broke up with Kent, they didn't show any sympathy towards me. Instead, they said that the son of one of my father's friends just came back from his studies, and that we might have time to meet up for a proper introduction." Courtney rolled her eyes as if she couldn't stand her family's suggestion. But all of a sudden, her sadness washed out from her face.

Amelia added, "You might want to go see and meet him. He could just be your type." Amelia knew that it wasn't the right thing to say, but the mere thought of Courtney and Kent not getting back together made her wish that Courtney could walk out of the shadows of being love-less.

"Do you think I'm going to be as lucky as you are to meet a handsome man like Lucian?" With a disappointed look on her face, Courtney switched to a more gossipy tone and asked, "What's your relationship with Lucian like?"

"What do you mean? Our relationship?" Amelia didn't expect Courtney's mood to change in an instant. She was surprised by her expression for a bit. Courtney's eyes gleamed with gossip.

"Do you want to have a wedding ceremony someday? Do you sleep with him every night? Are you planning to have kids? If so, how many?"

"Stop it with the questions. I'm sure you will be alright," Amelia interrupted and responded honestly. "I don't know. I just sleep in the same bed as him, that's it."

"Really?" Courtney was shocked at this new found information about their relationship. She reached her hand out to Amelia's forehead and said, "You don't have a fever, do you? Are you sick?"

Amelia felt that Courtney was talking nonsense. She shook her head and was about to head back, but Courtney stopped her. "Amelia, I admit that you married a good man, but love can only be maintained within a short period of time. Don't be stupid every day. In the world, you think there is pure love. You're 25 years old, but you still don't want to give yourself to your husband. There will be no love left between the two of you by then. Don't cry to me if you're defeated by those bitches!"
