Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 32

"Amelia, this is getting odd. Every time I ask you something, you don't answer it and you just change the topic!" Courtney seemed disappointed as she spoke.

"Well, then just don't..." Amelia's voice trailed off. She turned only to find in horror that Lucian was standing by the door. In utter shock, she raised her hand and covered her mouth.

Wasn't he supposed to be with Sasha taking care of her? What was he doing here?

"Amelia, I was supposed to tell you but we were playing around and I was out of breath and..." Courtney explained bashfully upon seeing the look on Amelia's face.

Amelia pursed her lips and immediately flushed when she remembered what she had been doing just now. 'Did Lucian see all of that? Was he turned off?' she thought to herself in a panic.

"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Lucian said in a cold voice. He sounded displeased with her.

Rendered speechless, Amelia wondered why he would even bring her to a date with his girlfriend in the first place. However, since Courtney was still standing by her side, she answered calmly, "I put my phone on silent mode so I didn't know that you were calling."

'She says she put her phone on silent mode but she was able to reject the calls?' he thought to himself.

Lucian was inexplicably angry. He pulled her towards him and said expressionlessly, "Let's go. We're going home."

Startled by this, it didn't take much effort for Lucian to pull Amelia.

Courtney watched this entire scene unfold in fear. She hurriedly said, "Lucian, what are you going to do?"

Lucian stopped, turned to look at Courtney and said, "Thank you."

Thank you? Amelia was understandably confused. Why would Lucian thank Courtney?

It took a while for Amelia to put the pieces together. She should have thought earlier why Courtney would ask for her help when the shop had few customers.

It was because Lucian had called Courtney first before she did Amelia. What kind of friend was Courtney?

Upon seeing the apologetic look on Courtney's face, Amelia knew then that her hunch was right.

When Lucian had successfully forced her into the car, the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Aren't you supposed to be with your girlfriend right now? What's wrong with you?"

"Amelia, are you stupid?" Lucian asked in a cold voice.

What?! How dare he call her stupid?

Amelia was completely irritated. "You're a playboy! I can't believe I married a playboy like you! I even came with you to visit your girlfriend! I made porridge for her! How dare you!"

Finally, she was able to let it all out.

"Amelia, are you jealous?" With a mocking smile on his face, Lucian suddenly slammed his foot on the brakes. He then said matter-of-factly, "You're jealous of me and Sasha."

Amelia felt her heart twist in pain.

She lowered her head to avert his gaze, her cheeks flushing in embarrassment. Her heartbeat quickened and her palms were sweaty—she'd been exposed.

He was right. She was indeed jealous. She would never admit it though. Nothing in the world could make her confess her love to Lucian. It didn't help that Lucian was a public figure whom every woman practically swooned ever. She'd rather keep her feelings to herself.

"Don't be so narcissistic. I just... I just don't understand why you still want to keep up this fake marriage when you already have someone you love!" she stuttered, her face still red in embarrassment.

Lucian raised his eyebrows. Noticing the nervousness on Amelia's face, a meaningful smile flashed in his face. "Falling in love and getting married are two different things."

"What? Are you enjoying the feeling of having both a wife and a mistress at the same time?" Amelia posed doubtfully.

He was trying to make it easier for her to understand what he was feeling.

So this question by Amelia amused him. He couldn't help but wonder why she was always misunderstanding him.

He grabbed her so that they were looking into each other's eyes then he said slowly, "You need to remember that you're my wife."

What was he talking about? Amelia was his wife but their marriage was fake. But... Upon hearing this, she was so stunned that her heart seemed to stop beating.

"Lucian, can you stop acting like this? Even though I had a bad relationship, that doesn't mean that I'm going to spend the rest of my life alone. Your girlfriend's back so I should leave! What's the point of all of this?" She was so angry that she almost finished her words without gasping. She didn't want to play this silly role any more.
