Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 14

Amelia didn't care about the fact that Shelly was acting like a spoiled child in front of Lucian and declaring war against her. She just didn't want to be here anymore. Not only did she not know what to do but she also had to still act for Lucian.

Amelia had assumed that they really wouldn't need to do anything. What she didn't expect was for Lucian's mother to mock them.

"Shelly, it seems my mother is happy to see you. Why don't you stay and have lunch with her? Amelia and I can leave." Lucian shook off Shelly's hand that was gripping his arm and grabbed Amelia's much to Shelly's embarrassment.

Amelia was appeased upon hearing Lucian's answer.

Fannie was seething. She grew even angrier at Amelia when Lucian said that he wasn't staying for lunch. She shot Amelia a sharp glance. She hated that woman so much she could tear her into pieces.

The minute they stepped out of the Zhan mansion, Amelia let out a big sigh of relief. Amelia was still trembling by the time they got into the car.

"Were you scared?" Lucian asked, glancing at her.

Since they were alone, Amelia figured she didn't need to act anymore. She turned her head to look out the window, trying to calm herself down.

Jasper came from a broken family. His parents had gotten a divorce when he was still young. He lived with his mother his whole life. When they'd been dating for two years, he took Amelia home to meet his mother. Naturally, Amelia was nervous at first. She knew that meeting her boyfriend's parents was a big deal. This was her first time doing something like this so she was at a loss. A month before she was scheduled to meet Jasper's mom, she already began freaking out. Jasper merely laughed at her and teased her. He said, "Even if you were ugly, I'd still take you to meet my mom."

As she thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes.

When she finally met Jasper's mother, she realized that there was nothing to worry about after all. Jasper's mother was easy to get along with. She loved Amelia like she was her own daughter.

She couldn't help but look back at those lovely memories especially after how Fannie had mistreated her.

After a while, Amelia started to feel dizzy. She remembered that she hadn't had breakfast yet and the moving car was making her head spin. She adjusted her body so that she was looking out the window. She let the cold wind blow on her face so she could take her mind off her dizziness.

"What's going on?" Lucian asked in concern when he noticed Amelia clutching her stomach. He immediately pulled over. "Are you uncomfortable?"

Amelia gritted her teeth and said in a small voice, "I think I need some fresh air."

"All right. We can step out for a bit." After that, Lucian got off the car and opened the door for Amelia. He looked around and found a restaurant nearby. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot that you haven't had breakfast yet. We can go and have some porridge first. It might help with your stomachache."

Amelia's stomach was empty and the moving car had triggered her to feel sick. She felt like she was going to vomit but when she tried to retch, nothing came out. Her eyes were already wet from trying to vomit something out.

As Lucian looked at Amelia's pale face, he couldn't help but scold himself. He felt guilty as he thought that this was all his fault.

"Let me help you." Lucian seemed patient and the tone of his voice was warm.

Amelia shook off his hand and said, "No, I can do it myself."

She wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes to make herself feel better.

She wasn't able to refuse the food since she was starving. As soon as the steaming bowl of corn porridge arrived on their table, she began scarfing it down. It was a bit too hot but she felt her stomachache subsiding after.

"So? Were you just carsick?" Lucian asked tentatively when she'd finished eating. He handed her a glass of warm water too.

Her eyes were still wet and she looked delicate. For some reason, Lucian always assumed that Amelia was feeling lonely whenever she grew quiet.

"Thank you," Amelia muttered as she averted her gaze.

Lucian was only cold to her that morning because he was afraid that they were getting too close. He wanted to keep the distance between them. However, he suddenly found himself regretting that he'd treated her that way earlier.
