Lucian took a few steps back and looked down at her clenched fists. Then, he held her hand and walked out of the neighbourhood.
Amelia stared at his hand quietly. It was the first time he had taken the initiative to get close to her.
His hand was not warm, and it was even a bit cool, just like hers. However, she knew that his indifferent exterior concealed one of the kindest hearts.
They left the neighbourhood under the envious eyes of the people around. A middle-aged woman who knew Amelia immediately went to her house when she saw that Amelia was taken away by a handsome and charming man.
Lucian brought Amelia to a relatively nice restaurant and ordered a private box. After ordering the dishes, he poured a glass of warm water for Amelia.
Along the way, Amelia did not say a word and allowed Lucian to take her hand.
That kind of feeling was very secure. She felt as if she was really in love. Since it would never happen again, she didn't want to refuse him this time.
"Drink some warm water. The dishes will soon be served." Lucian said in a slightly hoarse voice, and she could smell the familiar and pleasant smell of him.
Amelia glanced sideways at him. He was sitting next to her, and he was so quite, just like the plum blossom in winter night, noble and distant.
She took the water from his hand, and the temperature was just right. She took a sip of it and put it on the table.
Lucian looked at her silently and didn't speak.
It was so quiet in the private box that they could even hear each other's breathing.
Amelia was very unaccustomed to this kind of quietness. She was reserved and nervous, and even her breathing was so cautious.
"Thank you!" After a long while, she thanked him again.
In addition to this, she did not know what to say.
"Thank me for what?" Lucian looked at her coldly, and his expression was the same as ever.
Amelia smiled, "Thank you for treating me to dinner."
She lowered her head and didn't dare to look into his eyes. He had seen how poor and awkward she was, which made her feel herself inferior.
Lucian said, "You don't have to thank me."
The private box became quiet again in an instant.
Lucian seemed to have been used to such silence. He sat quietly and looked at ease.
However, Amelia was uneasy and embarrassed.
About ten minutes later, the dishes were served and Amelia was no longer so nervous.
Lucian filled her bowl with rice and placed it in front of her, "Eat it." His deep voice was very pleasant to hear.
"Thank you!" Amelia felt that there was nothing else she could say except for these two words.
Lucian glanced at her and said nothing because he was not so hungry at this time.
Amelia lowered her head and ate silently. Seeing that she only had rice, Lucian picked up some food for her.
Amelia kept thanking him, but Lucian kept frowning. It seemed that he didn't like to hear the two words.
Amelia ate very slowly. Amelia's nervous heart gradually relaxed when she sensed Lucian's concern for her, and she looked more at ease.
She ate a lot sweet and sour pork chops and the fried pork.
