Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 138

Amelia looked at the familiar surroundings. She knew this villa well. She brought Jonny into the hall and made him a cup of tea. Her actions resembled a hostess rather than a guest.

Jonny quietly stared at her moving around the hall with complicated emotions in his heart.

"Congratulations, Jonny." Amelia sat opposite to Jonny and gave him a polite smile.

Jonny took a sip of tea and raised his cup, almost as if he was mocking himself. "Congratulations!" He knew that Amelia was too naive to understand why he was so engrossed in fighting with his father.

"It's good news. Congratulations!" Amelia gazed at him with a sincere smile.

"Then, I'll take your blessing." A bitter smile formed on Jonny's lips.

Amelia's brows drew closer in concern when she saw that lonely smile on his face. "So, will you continue to be a designer?"

Ever since Jonny took over the An Group, he had been busy. She wondered how he would manage to keep up with his hobby.

"You know me well." Jonny's lips curved up to flash a big grin to Amelia.

A trace of blush formed on Amelia's cheeks. "Of course, I do! You are a fashion designer."

"Rest assured. I know Lucian is the only one in your heart." Jonny wanted to tease her, but his heart couldn't help but be jealous.

Amelia frowned when Lucian was mentioned.

"What's wrong? You look pale." Jonny fixed his eyes on changed expressions, thinking she was sick.

Amelia wasn't paying attention at first, but a thought suddenly stuck in her head. Maybe she could ask Jonny's help? She excitedly looked at him.

"Jonny, I have been here for a week." When she didn't receive any response, she pouted.

"Don't you think this place has a pleasant environment?" Jonny narrowed his eyes at her and pretended to be confused.

"I'm not happy. I just want to get out of here." She couldn't tell him that she wanted to leave the place related to Lucian.

"Let me guess, you want to hide from Lucian, don't you?" "Lucian and Shelly are getting a divorce. If you two love each other, you can be back together." He said that bluntly with a straight face.

Amelia was stunned. "Do you also think like that?"

"Yes?" Jonny looked at her in confusion. She was still hesitant as usual. That was why Jonny didn't want to tell Amelia that he was responsible for taking care of her until she would go back to Lucian. If Amelia could read his thoughts, she would definitely wallop him.

"Miss Shelly is your biological sister. No matter what happens between you two, she's your family. Do you think it's appropriate to do so?" Amelia thought no one would understand the dilemma in her mind, but she instead wanted to be reasonable.

"I don't want her to be unhappy because she is family," Jonny said gently.

"Unhappy?" Amelia looked at him in a daze, frowning slightly. A second later, her facial features relaxed when a thought crossed her mind. "So it must be Lucian's fault."

She felt a pang of guilt in her heart. If only she had maintained her distance with Lucian, Shelly would have been happy. She felt so angry and confused.

"Amelia, please don't overthink." Jonny paused for a moment and gathered his thoughts in his mind. "You think you're doing it for Shelly and Lucian's reputation, but have you ever thought about your actions?"

Jonny's blunt words startled Amelia. Her heart was filled with complicated emotions.

"I..." Amelia's mind went blank, and she didn't know what to say.

"Do you know why I took over the An Group?" Jonny asked all of a sudden.

Amelia forgot all the discomfort she felt a while ago and shook her head.

"My dad wasn't very good to my mother. I can vaguely remember the scenes from my childhood. He would beat her fiercely, you know? I used to hate him to death, and I still don't like him. I wanted to take revenge on him and give justice to mom. So my father is now the one who should be punished. I can't stand him using our family for his benefit." Jonny could feel storming emotions rising in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

Everyone had their own hidden stories. Amelia used to think that Jonny never liked this father. She hadn't thought about it, but the reality was out of her expectations.

Jonny noticed a trace of guilt in her eyes and smiled. "I didn't want to win your sympathy by saying this. I wanted you to realize something. If my father hadn't asked Lucian to marry Shelly, your situation would've been different. In fact, my dad was the controller behind the Zhan Group's crisis. Now, do you understand?"
