Since She Met Lucian

"A former friend of mine gave me a ride when we met on the road," Amelia explained as her cheeks turned red.

"It’s a huge advantage when a woman has a gorgeous face. If he’s still single, you could consider it!" Carlotta teased her on purpose.

Amelia opened the door of the shop widely and invited her in.

Seeing Amelia’s actions, Carlotta could not stop herself from laughing. "You’re so naughty."

Prior to one o’clock in the afternoon, Amelia arrived in the shop. The moment she was about to clean up the bar counter, Carlotta suddenly asked her, "Amelia, was that handsome young man your ex-husband?"

After hearing those words, Amelia’s hand trembled when she held the glass. If she had not held it tightly, the glass probably turned into scattered broken pieces on the ground.

In front of Carlotta, Lucian referred himself as "ex-husband". If Amelia denied she would be lying to Carlotta, so she just moved her head and nodded.

After that, Carlotta stopped her hands from caring for the potted plants. Then she visited the bar counter and curiously asked, "How did you do that? Why are willing to divorce such a handsome husband?"

Shocked by Carlotta’s words, Amelia remained frozen. She could not even utter a single word.

How did her heart manage to let go an excellent husband?

"I am sure he is living the time of his life. He deserves to be happy," she answered uneasily, it felt like a stab in her heart.

"But I saw it in your eyes, you really love him." Carlotta laid her eyes on Amelia, as if she could read her mind.

Trying to avoid the conversation, Amelia touched her face and forced a smile. "That’s what you see? I don’t think so. Maybe you need glasses."

Emptiness radiated in her eyes. She mocked herself for putting the act she made.

"I experienced something before, so don’t be too vague with me. You can share anything and I’ll listen without judgment. Tell me what happened." Carlotta was determined to dig out secrets of the past.

Finding a way to end the conversation, Amelia looked up at the clock and noticed there was still a lot of time left on her duty. There was no escape. She let out a deep breath and said, "Unlike other relationships, we don’t have an emotional foundation. Besides, he has his own life now. I am happy for him."

"Although I’m already 40 years old, I am updated about the news on the internet. I have read the news about your divorce with Lucian, some people cursed you because of it. I did not know you personally before, due to that I believed that you were like what they said. But after meeting you, I found out that they were wrong about you. I think there must be some reason for your decision right?" Carlotta said. Carlotta had known from Lucian, she asked Amelia again because she wanted to know Amelia’s real feelings towards Lucian.
