Since She Met Lucian

Today's incident really had hurt her. She didn't understand what wrong she did today. Every time she'd made an effort to win over his heart, he'd always let her down. And today it all went out of hand. He did not only not appreciate her efforts, but also got angry at her. It was really unbearable for her.

"You should've been aware of the rejection you'd face when you wanted to marry me." Lucian's cold voice cut through the silence.

Her angry gaze shifted to Lucian as she yelled aloud, "Oh? Now it is my fault? If you've forgotten Lucian, it is you who have cheated on me for Amelia. You continued meeting her in secret even after gotten married to me." She gritted her teeth. "Now know this, Lucian. You can only be with her in secret for the rest of your life. Because even if I die, I would never ever give you divorce." Shelly bellowed before leaving the bedroom.

After the door closed with a loud thud, Lucian's anger subsided slightly. His restless eyes wandered around the room, observing everything that was arranged by Shelly. It even made him feel inexplicably irritable. How did he end up here! He sighed.

Their families were in good terms with each other for many years, and to be honest, he had always treated Shelly like a little sister. Even if she was a little headstrong, he always behaved more tolerant of it. But now that they suddenly became a couple, it was beyond his acceptance. And as a result, his attitude towards her turned harsher.

He summoned Lily and asked her to clean the bedroom.

When Lily entered the room, she instantly realized what might have happened. She took a quick glance at Lucian and saw him smoking. He was half reclined on the sofa and staring blankly ahead of him. She didn't interrupt him and immediately started cleaning the mess Shelly had made to create a romantic atmosphere.

Lily seldom saw Lucian smoking. So, when she saw him smoking, she knew right away, he wasn't in a good mood.

After cleaning the room, she went downstairs and made a cup of tea for Lucian. When she reentered into his bedroom, Lucian was in the same position, thinking something deeply. His brows had curled in perturbation. She gave him the tea quietly which he took. As she turned to leave, she had this urge to help him. So, she suggested to Lucian, "Mr. Lucian, if you're missing Mrs. Amelia, you can go and see her. She is also missing you."

Hearing the name of Amelia, Lucian glanced up immediately. He anchored his attention on Lily and said in a hoarse voice, "Lily, can you please make some chicken soup tomorrow morning. I'll go meet her."

"Sure sir." Lily nodded with a bright smile.

"Achoo! Achoo... " Amelia sneezed soon after coming out of the bathroom. And it went on for a couple of times more.

Courtney noticed that and hurriedly wrapped her in a blanket. She chided softly at her, "Don't catch a cold now, Amelia!"

Watching Courtney getting worried, Amelia shook her head and made an imbecile remark intentionally to make her feel better. "Oh, come on Courtney, I'm not that weak what you think I am. My mother used to say, I could only catch cold being a baby. Now, I'm a grown up. No cold can touch me now. Trust me." Amelia joked while sniffling.

"Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!" In response to which Courtney knocked on Amelia's forehead out of annoyance and rolled her eyes. "Do I have to punch you hard just because you caught a cold?"

"Err, okay, I'll shut up for now." Amelia tittered and fell quiet. She knew Courtney was irritated because she was worried for her situation.

Courtney on the other hand, dismissed Amelia's words and stated, "Oh, one more thing Amelia. I have brought these things for you. They are all useful stuffs which you'll need now or later. Have a look. By that time, I'll go wash up!" In order not to arouse Amelia's suspicion, Courtney said flatly and gave Amelia a sidelong gaze.
