Since She Met Lucian

Hearing the coldness in her tone, Courtney thought that Amelia was angry with her for leaving without saying goodbye so she tried her best to coax her over the phone, "Honey, I'm sorry. I know it's my fault but don't worry, I'll be home early so I can accompany you."

Perhaps it was because she was so preoccupied in her own thoughts coupled with her misery but sullenly, she responded, "I don't need company."

Amelia wasn't childish by any standard. Sometimes, she would snap but she rarely ever lashed out. So upon hearing Amelia's ungratefulness, Courtney grew furious. She roared, "Amelia, what is it with you today? You're being so annoying! Where the hell are you anyway? I'll go where you are so I can apologize to you!"

Upon hearing this, Amelia felt a little hope arise in her heart. She asked tentatively, "Courtney, if you come here, can you take me with you?"

"Sure, just give me the address," Courtney replied bluntly.

After giving Courtney the address, Amelia was in a much better mood now. Standing in front of the French window, she patiently waited for Courtney.

When Courtney finally arrived, Amelia was surprised to see that not only did she not come alone but she also rode with Lucian to come here!

"I thought you were..." Amelia's voice trailed off. She thought Courtney was picking her up. She wondered why Courtney would come here with Lucian. However, she decided to not say anything upon glancing at him.

"Amelia, Lucian asked me to come and live with you." Courtney was very enthusiastic. She took Amelia's hand and walked into the villa. In amazement, Courtney scanned the villa as she commented, "Just half of this place is already bigger than my entire house! How rich are you, Mr. Lucian?"

Lucian merely chuckled, stealing a glance at Amelia every now and then. He could tell how displeased she was about the entire situation.

As Courtney continued to look around the villa, Amelia asked Lucian in a cold voice, "I heard Miss Shelly's in the hospital?"

Lucian frowned at the tone of Amelia's question. He felt a slight twinge in his heart as he pressed his lips together, not saying a word.

Amelia thought he wasn't responding out of guilt so she added rather snidely, "Courtney's here which means I can leave now."

She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she felt as if she was going to explode any minute now. It was as if she had been repressing all these simmering feelings for so long and it was just seeping out now.

The tartness in her tone and the anger in her eyes were a result of built-up emotions.

Lucian kept his gaze on her for what seemed like the longest second before finally agreeing, "Well, if you're still not used to being here, I can move you somewhere else but I can only do it later this week." Lucian figured that by then, he would have settled everything already which meant Amelia could come home with him already. There was no need to put more distance between them.
