Since She Met Lucian

Amelia didn't want anything to do with Lucian anymore, but she couldn't help herself but fall for his gentle demeanor. She felt like there was no escape in this senseless struggle.

Lucian looked around with a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were clear. The anger that he felt earlier seemed to have disappeared.

"We only have cakes and pastries to eat here. If you're hungry, you can have lunch in the building opposite of here. They sell meals over there," Amelia stated out of nowhere. She thought he might be hungry. She couldn't help herself to care for Lucian.

Upon seeing her caring nature once again, Lucian joyfully smiled. He looked at the clock and said, "There's still an hour left before you go back to work. We still have enough time to go out and eat lunch together."

Not only did Lucian know where Amelia worked, but he also knew her daily schedule.

"You can go ahead and eat. I still need to clean up here," Amelia replied.

"Let me help you then," Lucian offered. Lucian suddenly snatched the rag from Amelia's hand and immediately started to wipe the table.

Amelia was shocked by what he did. She wondered why Lucian would do such a thing.

"Aren't you busy with your family business, Mr. Lucian?" Amelia woefully asked with a frown on her face.

"You traded our marriage for the Zhan Group. Of course, I'm busy." Lucian blurted out those words, but quickly realized that he shouldn't have.

Lucian thought that saying those kinds of things would only make the burden that Amelia was carrying, much more heavier. He felt extremely regretful.

Hearing Lucian's words left Amelia speechless. It made her remember the inexplicable grievances that she tried so hard to forget. Because he was telling the truth, she did leave him and cancelled their marriage to save the Zhan Group.

But her efforts were useless and she had to force the man she loved to make a difficult decision.

Lucian tried to ease Amelia's troubles by saying, "Don't forget that there's another human being in your belly now. You don't want to starve him, do you? So let's go and have lunch now." He then threw away the rag that he was holding in his hand and looked at Amelia's belly with interest.

When Amelia realized that Lucian was staring right at her belly, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and self-conscious. This made her cheeks blush while she placed her hands around her belly in a futile attempt to cover it.

His reason made it hard for Amelia to refuse his offer. She then glanced at the time and thought that one hour was indeed enough for them to eat. So, she simply nodded at him in agreement.

They chose to eat at a small restaurant nearby. The place wasn't luxurious but it had a decent ambiance to it. The moment they entered, they heard a very popular love song playing which made them feel somewhat awkward yet amused. To not make the atmosphere more uncomfortable, they quickly walked towards a table.

As usual, Lucian chose to sit by the window which had always been Amelia's preference. She sat down and gazed at the potted plant near the window.

It was the only thing she could do to ease her mind about their embarrassing conversation earlier.

Lucian then ordered dishes that were all suitable for pregnant women. Since Amelia loved spicy dishes, he still ordered some but specifically asked the waiter to lessen the spiciness of their food.
