Since She Met Lucian

Chapter 128 Shelly Was Injured And Hospitalized

When Lucian returned to SJ Garden, it was already three in the morning.

As soon as he reached the living room, he heard footsteps. Someone was coming down the stairs.

In his surprise, he turned his head and saw that it was Shelly. Her hair was a mess. Wearing a lace nightgown, she presented herself to Lucian the way that someone might dangle a piece of meat in front of a dog.

Feeling a little annoyed, he looked away and asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

He found the whole thing strange. She was dressed like she was ready for bed, yet she had heavy makeup on. Her dark red lips curled up in a seductive smile.

"This is my home. Can't I be here?" Shelly had managed to force that smile, but her voice trembled slightly.

Exhaustion was becoming evident on Lucian's face. It was late, and he wanted no more of this. "Whatever."

The indifference in his words was not lost to Shelly. By that point, she was already hurt, but it was his words that drove her to the edge. There was a hint of jealousy in her voice when she asked, "Were you with Amelia?"

"Yes," Lucian answered without hesitation.

The harsh way in which he regarded Shelly broke her heart.

For the past few days, she had been staying with the An family. She had hoped that Lucian would come over and pick her up. She had even asked Edmund to talk to him about this. Now, Lucian showed no guilt after coming home in the wee hours of the morning from having met up with Amelia. Add that to the fact that he had never gone to pick her up as she had originally expected he would.

She began running back the way she had come in an obvious display of her pain. She had thought that by doing this, she would catch his attention or gain his sympathy. Instead, she saw his eyes flash with disgust.

"Lucian, I know that that woman still has a special place in your heart. But why do you deliberately hurt me? You don't want me to be your wife anymore." Tears fell down her cheeks. Shortly after, she began crying like an injured kitten.

Lucian was annoyed by this whole show. He didn't want to talk anymore. Without a word, he turned around and headed for the stairs.

"Lucian, no matter who you truly love, we're not getting a divorce!" She ran to him, grabbed his arm, and clung onto it like a vine.

Lucian frowned and forcefully shook her off. "Will you stop it?"
