Since She Met Lucian

Amelia didn't respond to Jasper. Instead, she merely glanced at what Jasper was wearing and wondered to herself, 'I thought he didn't like wearing colorful clothes? What the hell is he wearing then?'

This didn't go unnoticed by Jasper. In response, he tugged at his shirt a bit, a look of disgust on his face as he said defensively, "This is expensive, you know and it's very trendy right now. Yolanda personally chose this for me and I want to make her happy by wearing it."

Amelia's mouth twitched. She really didn't care about Jasper's fashion choices—her concern was why he called her over in the first place.

"When your wife picks out clothes for you, you should be grateful." Amelia smiled.

The smile on Jasper's face froze. He reminded Amelia in a low voice, "If Yolanda's mom starts talking to you badly again, just ignore her."

Jasper was being unusually kind to Amelia which made her confused. On the inside, she couldn't help but snort to herself.

As Amelia walked into the living room, the first person she saw was Sophia who was beaming at her enthusiastically. Sophia then greeted her warmly, "Amelia, I heard that you'd be coming so I cooked your favorite dishes today."

At that moment, Amelia already figured that they needed something from her.

This wasn't how they normally treated her. On a regular day, they would glare at her and make snide comments. This sudden change made Amelia feel nervous.

However, Amelia kept composed. She fixed her gaze on the gorgeously dressed Sophia.

"Is Amelia back?" Vernon said hoarsely, the excitement in his voice evident.

Upon hearing this, Amelia couldn't help but sneer. They were acting as if she hadn't been home for ten years and it's not like they ever treated her like this before.

However, since Vernon was her father, Amelia raised her head and forced a wry smile as she watched Vernon approach her slowly.

She found that it was exceptionally difficult for her to smile especially when Sophia was around. She didn't really like hiding her emotions and it's not like Sophia ever did anything to her that would make her want to smile.

However, Amelia couldn't deny that she preferred this over the usual Sophia who always looked like she wanted to strangle her.
