Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 82 Enjoying Ourselves As A Couple

Amelia stepped out of the bathroom and wrapped herself in a black robe. She scanned the room for Lucian and only changed into her clothes once she saw that he wasn't there.

"Today's the first day of the Lunar New Year. You must wear something red. It complements your fair skin." Amelia's cheeks flushed when she heard Lucian's voice. She was particularly conscious because she was only wearing a thin camisole. She turned to look at where his voice was coming from and found him casually watching her, his arms crossed over his chest.

Amelia immediately pulled a shirt over her head. Taking Lucian's advice, she wore a red coat and matched it with a plaid skirt. Her long hair fell over her shoulders. She looked simple yet warm.

"You look good," Lucian said as he nodded in approval. "Since it's the New Year's Day, we must go to your family to celebrate," he added.

His words caught Amelia by surprise. Lucian was being incredibly considerate. She had never considered that he would bring up that suggestion.

Little by little, Amelia was seeing all virtues of Lucian.

Outside, the weather was bright and sunny. Colorful street lanterns rendered the atmosphere festive and people were smiling while lugging around gifts of all shapes and sizes. A few meters away, a family was laughing boisterously.

The scene warmed Amelia's heart. She stood in the square and watched them, not even realizing that she was smiling herself.

"I've got everything we need. Get in the car," Lucian called to Amelia and snapped her out of her daze. Following him to the vehicle, she took the front seat and strapped the seat belt across her chest.

"You didn't have to get so many gifts," Amelia complained after seeing the huge bags of presents Lucian placed on the back seat.

Lucian smiled before replying, "I should do no less than what is expected of me as a son-in-law, Mrs. Amelia. Besides, my wife's father is my father, and I should treat him as well as I treat my own."

Lucian used to be a man of few words, but it seemed to Amelia that he was getting rather chatty. She didn't mind though; he looked more charming each time he spoke.

She didn't think it possible, but Amelia was falling even more in love with him.

"If you stare at me like that, I won't be able to focus on driving," Lucian said without taking his eyes off the road. On his face was a mischievous grin.

Amelia blushed and turned instead to look outside the window, her face also beaming.

They parked in front of the Mo mansion. Amelia got out of the car and heard cheerful laughter coming from within. She frowned, however, when she thought she heard Yolanda's voice.

A servant who must have heard their car approaching opened the door for them. Seeing Amelia and Lucian, she announced, "Mrs. Amelia and Mr. Lucian are here."
