Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 112

Amelia didn't know what to reply to Lucian. 'How do I get rid of this man!' she thought, praying for divine intervention. After taking a deep breath, she decided that it was time to face him. Swiftly, she raised her head to look at him.

The scene she saw scared her stiff and made her heart skip a beat. Right behind Lucian was Shelly, staring menacingly at her.

"It's late now. Let me send you back." Lucian told her, oblivious that Shelly was with them.

After the initial shock had worn off, Amelia, who just came back to her senses, said in a very low voice, "Miss Shelly..." Her heart started beating incredibly fast and cold sweats began to appear on her forehead. It was as if her body was preparing her for the mess that was going to happen.

Shelly stood hidden from the light. Despite that, Amelia could still clearly see the expression on her face—cold, exasperated, dangerous. Even though Lucian was standing between them, she could still feel the sharpness of her glare.

Lucian was able to quickly pick up the fear clouding Amelia's eyes. Because of that, he turned his heads towards the place Amelia was staring at.

"Lucian, you... How could you do this to me!" Shelly emerged from the darkness and into the light. Her eyes were already moist with tears as she pointed her fingers back and forth between Lucian and Amelia.

"Miss Shelly, we are not..."

"Shut up, Amelia!" Shelly shouted, her voice filled with anger and hurt. With her shaking hands she pointed at Lucian and Amelia's interlocked hands, saying, "Did you really think that no one will notice that?"

To appease the angry Shelly, Amelia quickly let go of Lucian's hand. Unfortunately, that didn't help the situation—instead, Shelly became more furious, it showed on her face.

In contrast to an obviously panicking Amelia, Lucian looked very calm and collected. "Let me send you back first," he gently repeated, completely ignoring Shelly and turning his gaze back to Amelia. This surprised Amelia.

'What is this guy doing?' she thought, completely scandalized by Lucian's course of action. 'Is he trying to make everything more complicated than it already is?'

"Mr. Lucian," she finally said in a firm tone after a few moments of silence. "Could you please respect me?" She angrily stepped away from Lucian, glaring at him as if to warn him against going anywhere near her. After doing that, she looked up at Shelly and bowed deeply. "Miss Shelly, I'm so sorry," she said. "I didn't expect what happened. Please do not worry, this will never happen again."

Lucian, however, was not having any of it. "Nonsense!" he bellowed, making the two women near him jump. "Watch your language, Amelia!" With defiance on his face, he started walking towards Amelia.

"Lucian, you heard her!" Shelly shouted, running after Lucian and holding him back. "Don't make a fool out of yourself!" Looking at the two people in front of her, Amelia couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.

She wanted to hide and run away, but instead, she faked a smile and said in a heartfelt manner, "Mr. Lucian and Mrs. Shelly, I wish you all the happiness in the world."

As she turned around to leave, she felt a hand clamp down on her shoulder so tightly that it hurt. She knew it was Lucian, and so she tried her best to shake it off, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

After seeing what Lucian was doing, Shelly couldn't help but shed some tears. "Lucian, are you really going to do this to me?" she loudly lamented. Her voice was so full of sorrow and pain that even Amelia felt so deeply for her.

Even if Amelia still loved Lucian with all her heart, she had repeatedly told herself that she would not do anything that would destroy his marriage to Shelly. At that moment, however, when she saw Shelly crying over what Lucian was doing, she felt ashamed. She felt like she was a mistress, and that she had done something wrong.

"I'll give you a chance to say what you want to say, but right now, I have to send Amelia home." Lucian did not care about Shelly, or what she was feeling. He wanted to send Amelia home, and he would do it no matter what happened.

"I am not a child nor a ceramic doll. I don't need you to send me home!" Amelia refused in anger. While she didn't want to sound too harsh or direct, she decided that she had to be because she saw that every word Lucian uttered was driving a knife through Shelly's heart.

"I am worried about you!" Lucian shouted. He tried to grab Amelia's hand but Amelia did not let him.

'This is becoming ridiculous!' Amelia thought, as she tried her best to avoid Lucian's gaze.

She was also embarrassed to look at Shelly's face because she knew that no woman would feel good if a man took care of his ex-wife right in front of her.

As these thoughts swirled inside her head, she felt more and more guilty.

"Lucian," Shelly suddenly said. She had already stopped crying, but her voice was still quiet and shaky. "I think you're right. Send Amelia home. It's too late and I'm worried about her."

Both Amelia and Lucian were shocked by what they heard. They turned to look at her and they saw that she was already smiling.

"I remembered what you said to me," she continued, looking at Lucian. "You told me to be reasonable, here I am. I am allowing you to send Amelia home." Her voice was unnaturally sweet.

Upon hearing what Shelly said, Amelia felt her temperature rise. Every word felt like a slap on her face.

She was ready for Lucian to say something—for or against her—but she was surprised with what he did: he put his arm around her and said softly, "Let's go."

It was something that she never thought he would do. It was a nice gesture, but again, she was not here to ruin Lucian's relationship with Shelly. With one swift turn, she turned around, and grabbed Lucian's hand, dragged him towards Shelly, and put his hands on hers. "I told you, I don't need it! My home is not far from here!"

She just wanted this whole encounter to be over as her heart couldn't take more. With that, she quickly turned around to go.

Lucian's face instantly changed. He let go of Shelly's hand like it was something hot and ran after Amelia immediately. "It's so late now!" he called after her. "How can I let you go back alone?"

"What is wrong with you?!" Amelia shouted.

She didn't understand why on earth Lucian just wouldn't let her go.
