Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 42

“Mr Dominic, please, let me go...”

Amelia’s voice was hoarse and broken, liking a dying old woman. She just murmured as if she were talking in her sleep, “Let me go...”

“Amelia!” Arthur turned the doorknob, but failed to open the door.

Arthur knew it must have been locked from the inside since it was a men’s restroom. Then he slapped the door harder and even kicked it several times.

But the quality of the door was so good that he couldn’t open the door, even if he kicked the door with all his strength.

Arthur was quite anxious. He had a bad feeling when Lawrence followed Amelia out of the chamber.

After asking Patrick to take care of Leigh, Arthur left the chamber. He called Amelia, but she didn’t answer it. He just asked the waitress to check out if Amelia was in the restroom, but she wasn’t.

The closed door of the men’s restroom made Arthur suspicious.

Arthur knew how fierce and cruel Lawrence was, and Lawrence had been finding fault with Amelia because of Arthur, so he was worried about what Lawrence would do to Amelia in the restroom!

Arthur supposed that Lawrence may kill his romantic rival Amelia in order to get him... Arthur was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He felt that he was a Helen of Troy!

“Lawrence, I know you’re inside!”

Arthur continued to knock at the door, “Lawr4ence, calm down! Don’t hurt Amelia! Just open the door!”

Arthur clapped the door for a long time, but it didn’t open. He lost his patience, and then went to the manager of the Scent Club, and asked him for the key to open the door.

The manager didn’t take the key with him. When he got the key, more than half an hour had passed.

Arthur held the key tightly in his hand and there was sweat in his hand. He was afraid that when he opened the door, he would see the body of Amelia.

He held the key and was about to open the door when the door was suddenly opened from inside.

Before Arthur could realize what happened, Lawrence, neatly dressed, came out of the room.

But Amelia, shuddering, curled up in the corner.

“Amelia!”

Arthur walked to her in a hurry. The clothes in Amelia were not as broken as they used to be in Willow Alley this time, but it was obvious that her clothes had been torn by others.

Seeing the red marks on Amelia’s skin, even though Arthur did not have a girlfriend yet, he knew what happened in the restroom just now.

Hearing Arthur’s voice, Amelia raised her head numbly. She felt quite embarrassed when someone else found that she was forced to have sex with Lawrence.

But at the same time, she felt it was fortunate that Arthur didn’t come with Leigh.

Looking into Arthur’s red eyes, Amelia turned away in panic. She didn’t know how to face him now.

She really liked Arthur as a friend. Sometimes, she would regard him as a family. So she felt distressed at the thought of the chance that Arthur would dislike and disdain her.

Amelia had lost all her dignity in front of Lawrence before in order to make money. But she hoped she could have her dignity retained in front of her beloved ones, like Leigh, Sapphire, Rufus and Arthur.

“Amelia, I’m sorry I’m late!”
