Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 102

"Why are you crying?" Mrs. Chen's voice was filled with concern after noticing tear stains on Amelia's cheeks.

"What?" Amelia wiped the tears on her face and smiled. "Maybe I'm sweating."

When she said it out loud, her excuse didn't look convincing enough. That was why she ended up exposing her real intention to Lucian.

"My silly girl, it's fine if you cry." Mrs. Chen patted Amelia's head gently. "You are pregnant now. Mood swings aren't good for your health."

Amelia was so shocked that she couldn't find words to say for a long time. She squeezed out a few words in a low voice, "How did you find out?" She never showed any signs of morning sickness in front of the landlady. How did Mrs. Chen figure it out?

"Well, a handsome young man just told me about it and brought a lot of food for you. He asked me to make sure you're okay." Mrs. Chen had a smile on her face.

Young man? Amelia's eyes widened when she realized it was Lucian. She rushed to the room and gasped at what she saw. Foodstuffs were piled up in the middle. She felt a twisted pain in her heart at that.

It was so easy for Lucian to find out this news. She had lied on his face about it. What would Lucian think about her stupid and naive lie?

It would only increase the distance between the two of them.

She thought that Lucian would never contact her again after severing their relationship. But to her surprise, the supermarket manager called her the next day to say that pregnant women shouldn't work too much. He even terminated her job.

Just how did the manager find out about her pregnancy?

Anger in her heart ignited, and she dialed a familiar number. She hadn't dialed this number for a long time. Emotions swirled in her heart, remembering the past.

"Hello." A magnetic voice echoed in her ears, quickening her heartbeat. Amelia was excited and nervous. She was indeed angry, but her heart was moved by Lucian's actions behind her back.

She took multiple breaths to calm down and asked, "Why did you do this? I don't have a job now!"

She didn't mean to get mad, but she couldn't help it.

Lucian replied coldly, "Should a pregnant woman work?"

Amelia was rendered speechless. How can pregnancy be a proper reason for staying at home in the first few weeks? Lucian had crossed all limits in being overprotective.

"It's none of your business!" She snapped at him like a child.

Lucian was silent for a moment, and she heard his breath against the speaker. "Take care of yourself before you come back to me." Even though his voice wasn't as cold as before, he sounded arrogant. "After that, I will be there to take care of you."

Lucian hung up the phone before Amelia could even think about the meaning behind his words.

Amelia's hands trembled, but she clutched the phone tightly. Her heart thumped multiple times faster than before. Her moistened eyes stared at the phone screen in both anxiety and confusion. Why did Lucian say that?

The atmosphere in the CEO's office of the Zhan Group was cold.

Lucian stared at the documents in front of him with his sharp eyes. He continued to cast a cold glance at the couch where Jonny was drinking his tea.

"Lucian, we grew up together, and we were school buddies. I didn't think you'd hate me for my mistake." Jonny lowered his head. He remembered those old days and grinned. Only if he could become a teenager again...

Lucian stood up and walked over to Jonny, sitting right in front of him. His cold gaze remained on Jonny for a few seconds before Lucian sneered and said in a stern voice, "Then, what about Amelia? Didn't you do it deliberately?"

Jonny looked at Lucian with an apologetic smile. "I admit I used Amelia. But if I hadn't done that, Edmund wouldn't have helped you."

"I'll don't want to lose Amelia because of the Zhan Group." Lucian's voice was icy cold when he stared furiously at Jonny.

"I know you love her. Just sit back and let me take care of her, okay?" A relaxed smile appeared on Jonny's lips. He didn't think there was any need to get angry with Lucian.

"Never! Because you've let me down, Jonny!" Lucian's cold aura leaked out when he heard Jonny's words. He was still mad at what happened back then.

"Lucian, you were never my target." Jonny gazed at Lucian without blinking for a few seconds before lowering his head. Too much had happened, and Lucian deserved to know the truth. He sighed deeply and narrated everything that happened with Amelia when she had been living in his villa.

Lucian's frosty look melted. He wasn't feeling distressed anymore, but he still managed to keep a straight face. "Did she really say that?"

Although he didn't doubt Jonny's words, he wanted to hear those words again. His heart was filled with incomparable warmth.

"As I said, she sees the child as a gift from God, and a motivation for her survival. She wants to give birth to the child and raise it!" Jonny's stomach churned when he said those words, but he couldn't keep it from Lucian anymore.
