Since She Met Lucian

It was a lovely night as Amelia and Jonny made their way to the banquet. Amelia was a little nervous, considering that the banquet would be held at the most luxurious hotel in the city. As soon as they stepped inside the building, they saw Edmund and his wife waiting for them at the lobby. Amelia, not wanting to make another scene, greeted them politely.

Jonny's mother, Emma Chen, gave a warm smile back and warmly welcomed them, "Jonny, Amelia. Welcome."

"Mom," Jonny muttered curtly and didn't greet Edmund. He turned his head aside as if the man did not exist.

"How rude of you not to greet me!" Edmund said to Amelia in a manner that could even freeze summer.

With an embarrassed look on her face, Emma pulled Edmund's sleeve. "Amelia is not familiar with us. Don't be rude to her or she'll be scared." She then turned to Amelia and apologized for Edmund's behavior.

"Can you stop being such a bummer?" Jonny couldn't help but retort. He furrowed his eyebrows deeply. When his eyes landed on Edmund, Jonny was already eyeing him in disgust.

"Fannie wasn't satisfied with her before. I quite agree with her." After giving a cold glance at Amelia, Edmund decided to enter.

Amelia's heart was trembling. She was not afraid, but the scene already felt familiar to her. It was the first time she came to the Zhan mansion and faced the sarcastic remarks of Fannie. That woman could not seem to hold her tongue. And today, Edmund welcomed her in the same tone.

"Amelia, Jonny's father is not in a good mood. Don't worry, I'm satisfied with you." In an attempt to salvage the situation, Emma gave it her best to comfort Amelia who seemed to already be worn out from the exchange. The banquet had not even started yet.

Looking at the gentle demeanor of Emma, Amelia felt less sad. She smiled, "It is alright."

"Let's head inside, shall we?" Emma's smile warmed her heart.

Amelia wasn't expecting Lucian and his family to have arrived earlier. As soon as she and Jonny appeared, everyone's eyes were on them. Although she was not sure that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she faintly felt that sharp eyes were staring at her.

As she made her way to the door, she saw that Fannie who was dressed elegantly, was looking at her with disdainful eyes. And Shelly was in a purple dress, whose hair was coiled up and her makeup was delicate. She was so beautiful that people couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. However, the resentment in her eyes was really hard to ignore.

Amelia didn't want to see Lucian on purpose, but from the corner of her eyes, she could still feel his stare.

An invisible attraction was making way through her, like a magnet forcing her to look at his direction several times. But she forced herself to hold back.

"Well, everyone is here. Please have the dishes served," Nicholas jovially announced. It was easy to read that he was very happy.

Amelia kept her head down. She didn't know what to do in a situation like this. She rubbed her fingers along her nails in an attempt to distract herself. Anything that could calm her nerves. She didn't know how to control the situation.

As the dishes were being served, Fannie took this chance to get the table's attention. "It's a good day. You two have been engaged for so long. The day has finally come," she said with excitement visible in her eyes.
