Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 142

"You're just jealous!" Lucian snapped in a harsh voice. There was an undertone of playfulness in his voice despite his words.

Amelia had never seen Lucian speak to Jonny that way. But Lucian's words and manner seemed to have no effect on Jonny. He wasn't mad at all. Instead of saying something back to Lucian, Jonny turned to Amelia and said, "Amelia, I really wanted to come and see you as soon as possible, but he didn't let me because he was afraid that I would steal his thunder and get more of your attention."

Jonny gave a mischievous smile.

"Since when did you two become so ridiculous?" Amelia asked with a slight smile. She was visibly amused by the way that they spoke and jested with each other.

"Lucian may sound gutsy sometimes, but the truth is that he is a very shy person inside," Jonny remarked. He took the opportunity to make another verbal swing at Lucian to the amusement of Amelia.

Lucian knew that Jonny was only cheering Amelia up with his words so he didn't reply back. He felt glad when he saw the smile on Amelia's face as well as the sound of her light giggle.

Amelia didn't say anything but she was smiling and had started to giggle. She then turned to Lucian who was peeling an apple for her, her eyes filled with love, and asked, "So, when did you learn this skill?"

He may not know how to properly wash the dishes, but he surely had a skill with peeling fruit.

Her words sounded like she was flattering Lucian. Lucian glanced at Jonny proudly then said to Amelia, "I'm quite amazing, aren't I? Do you want to reward me with a sweet kiss?"

His eyes closed slightly as he faced Amelia and waited for her to kiss him.

Jonny felt embarrassed and said, "Lucian, how could you show us that face? It's disgusting!" He then burst into a thunderous laugh.

"Jon... Mr. Jonny, please don't worry. I would never act like him," Amelia remarked with a serious tone of voice. The amused smile on her face slightly faded away and was replaced by a slightly playful smile.

She almost addressed Jonny by name only and she felt bothered. She remembered her promise to Jonny that she would never call him Jonny in front of Lucian. She was able to correct herself immediately this time. But she was worried that she might slip someday.

There were several situations when she almost slipped. She then remembered that Lucian would object every time she referred to him as Mr. Jonny.

"Why can't I get a kiss from my wife? You call me Mr. Lucian because I am your husband. But you should call him Jonny An. Not Mr. Jonny." Lucian sounded jealous. His words sounded like he wanted Amelia to immediately change the way she addressed Jonny.

"Amelia, you can call me Jonny later," Jonny said in an offhand manner as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Jonny is too intimate. His name is Jonny An," Lucian countered immediately before Amelia could say anything.

"Don't you think it's impolite to call him that?" Amelia asked in a low voice. She glanced at Lucian and stared at him briefly, she wanted to see right away how he'd react.

"Just be yourself, Amelia," Jonny said to cheer Amelia. There was a light smile on his face as he was visibly amused with Lucian's statements.

"Okay...Jonny," Amelia replied. She stressed Jonny's name to show that she changed the way she addressed him based on his suggestion. Jonny had always been very dear to Amelia. He was responsible for helping Amelia get over the pain of losing her mother. Lucian, on the other hand, was the one who brought love back into her life. One was a very dear friend while the other was her dearest lover. Both were very important men in Amelia's life.

Hearing Amelia call him Jonny made him feel warm inside. He smiled back at Amelia and then said, "Think of me as your brother from now on. Let me know if Lucian bullies you and I will take care of him."

"Since Jonny became the CEO of the An Group, he has been able to keep his word." Amelia laughed at Lucian's remark. She stared at Lucian and said in a jesting tone, "If he dared to mess with me, I will make him pay back double!"

"You know what, it's a strange kind of happiness to get teased by you." Lucian's brief words sounded very sweet to Amelia and it made her feel good.

Jonny twisted his face like he was carrying an unbearable weight as he watched them. But when he saw that they finally resolved the misunderstanding between them and had started to get along well with each other once more, he said in a voice that had a tone of relief, "Look at you two. You are so close once more. I don't need to play the role of mediator anymore for you."

Lucian and Amelia didn't say anything. They stared at each other and then smiled. They both understood the irony in Jonny's words.

"You two should get remarried as soon as possible! Have a grand wedding ceremony so that you could invite me!" Jonny demanded with an impish smile that made him look like an overgrown kid. He then laughed slightly at his own jest as he slightly nodded his head.

"Let's have a toast then!" Lucian immediately suggested with a tone of pride and happiness.

"If you get drunk, you couldn't enter the bridal chamber," Jonny replied with a naughty smile. Lucian laughed slightly as he shook his head.

Amelia felt embarrassed by their conversation and bowed her head.

Jonny bowed to the couple and said to them with a smile, "As much as I've enjoyed your company, there are places that I need to be so I bid you both, good day." Amelia looked up when she heard Jonny's words and found that he had already left.

"You and Jonny are used to making fun of each other, aren't you?" Lucian and Jonny grew up together and they were very close since they were kids.

"Yes. Just as you've seen earlier." Lucian shrugged as he stared straight into Amelia's eyes. He smiled at her as she stared back at him. She wondered what he was thinking as he stared straight into her eyes. "Are you thirsty after all that laughing? I'll go get you some water."

"Yes, a little," Amelia replied and nodded like a little boy.

Lucian took good care of Amelia during the week that she was hospitalized.

When she got out of the hospital, Lucian brought her straight to the SJ Garden. When she asked why he didn't return her to the villa in the south of the city, he said that the SJ Garden was their original home and he planned to move into the villa with Amelia after the baby was born.
