Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 132

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.

Nonetheless, he wholeheartedly understood why Amelia was mad.

Lucian was basically saying that she still had to stay here for the entire week. She didn't know why he insisted on her living here but it made her uncomfortable. The longer she stayed here, the more she felt uneasy.

"Lucian, I'm not a kid anymore!" she protested. Why couldn't she decide on her own? She had her own thoughts and feelings that rightfully deserved to be heard too.

At this moment, she was blinded by her anger that she wasn't able to control her voice.

Courtney, who was initially busy looking around, immediately heard Amelia's raised voice. In response, she hurriedly ran downstairs and asked in confusion, "Amelia? What's wrong? Why are you yelling at Lucian?"

Courtney couldn't understand why Amelia would get mad at Lucian.

"I was forced to be here and it's not like I could do anything because he's rich and powerful! Do I not have the right to be mad at that?" Amelia knew she was making a mountain out of a molehill but all she really cared about at that point was leaving that villa right away. She didn't want to be the cause of any misunderstandings between Lucian and Shelly.

Shelly was in the hospital because of this and Amelia's guilt was already eating her away.

Suddenly, Lucian's eyes dimmed as he shifted to his usual indifferent demeanor. He then shifted his gaze on Amelia as he opened his mouth. In a voice as clear as day, he spoke, "I need you to listen to me right now no matter what you're feeling."

His tone was stern and his voice indicated that he was not leaving this up for discussion.

Amelia couldn't help but sneer. 'Wasn't this always the case?' she thought. Even though Lucian had his fair share of sweet moments, it never really lasted. Once she pissed him off, there was no turning back.

Courtney couldn't help but feel a bit awkward and partly scared upon noticing the grim looks on both Amelia and Lucian's faces. Hesitantly, she chimed in, "I thought you two were crazy about each other? Calm down."

Amelia glared at Courtney and said coldly, "If you're not leaving then I am!"

"Amelia, what are you doing?" Courtney grabbed her arm as she said seriously, "I told my parents that I was living with you at home and now you're leaving? Where are we going to end up then?"
