Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 50

"I will rather have lunch with my wife." Lucian put his arms around Amelia's shoulder.

Amelia's wide-opened eyes stared at Lucian in disbelief.

Sasha's face went pale, and she felt someone had deliberately twisted her heart until it was bleeding. She forced a smile and said in a weak voice, "We can hang out later."

A flush of guilt washed over Amelia's face when she glanced at Sasha.

"Who allowed you to touch my tea set?" Lucian's cold eyes squinted at Amelia.

That was when Amelia spotted the tea set on the table. She stood up without giving Lucian a second glance to clean up the mess.

Lucian frowned when he saw the flustered look on her face, and he realized that his tone was harsh. Just as he was about to help her, a loud sound entered his ears.

He looked around to see what happened, staring at the scene with wide eyes.

The teacup had fallen on the ground like a sack of potatoes. She reached to pick the broken pieces from the ground and grazed her fingers.

The blood was gushing out of her finger, but still, she was cleaning up the mess.

Lucian stared at her with a horrified expression and rushed over. "Why are you so careless?"

Amelia's heart jumped when she heard his voice filled with worry, eyes brimming with tears.

She had been silent for a long time. Lucian took hold of her injured hand and looked at her moistened eyes, frowning at her expressions. Did he hurt her again with his words? "Let's go to the infirmary."

His voice was gentle, having a rare touch of love and concern.

Amelia smiled and shook her head. "I'm used to such minor injuries."

Lucian rolled his eyes at her flaunting tone and dragged her to the infirmary.

Employees had been walking toward the canteen when their shocked eyes shot at the couple. Most of them were even envious.

As for the wound, the doctors treated it quickly because it wasn't too deep. With the finger wrapped in bandages, Amelia went with Lucian to a Korean restaurant. The couple ordered the food.

The hunger made her eat the food even though it wasn't that delicious. She gobbled up dishes after dishes so much so that it was difficult for her to walk when they left the restaurant.

"Mrs. Amelia, look how big your stomach is!" Lucian smiled playfully at her round belly when they were on their way back to the Zhan Group.

Amelia cast him a shocked gaze. He didn't seem angry anymore.

She forced a smile and said, "And now people might think I'm pregnant."

"It's normal to be suspicious when you are married." Amelia had to run to keep up with the pace of Lucian.

"Give me a break! There is nothing normal between us." She was tired by the time she reached Lucian and said those words without thinking twice.

Amelia misunderstood him again.

"Mrs. Amelia, are you implying that something will happen?" Lucian's lips stretched to form an evil smile.

Amelia's face turned red, and she looked away, refuting in a high-pitched voice, "I didn't mean that!" Why did the topic seem to go down in the gutter? She was looking down in embarrassment.

Amelia hesitated before raising her head to look at the smiling face of Lucian. He was gazing down at her in affection. Her heart thudded, and the guilt she had felt for a few days washed away.

After work, Amelia begged Lucian to take her to a local market to purchase ingredients. She wanted to cook for him personally. Even though Lucian wasn't very keen on going to the local market, he reluctantly agreed.

He wanted to taste Amelia's cooking.

"I'll wait for you in the car." Lucian wanted to go to the supermarket, but Amelia opted for the local one. Being a neat freak, he felt uneasy after glancing at the crowded market.

Amelia knew him well. He would rather spend money in a spacious restaurant than to purchase ingredients in such a local market. "Okay, I'll be back."

She didn't give him a chance to argue with her and headed straight to stalls on the side.

Even though Amelia was tall and slim, her plump face made her look like a naughty child. She was calm when she gazed carefully at the stalls, looking lovely and graceful.

Lucian smiled at Amelia, who danced from one stall to another like a bee seeking honey. He got out of the car and followed her.

At that time, the market was crowded with shopaholic people. Amelia pushed through the crowd and approached the stall. Her eyes swept past various ingredients on the counter.

She didn't ask Lucian about what he wanted to eat, becoming even more confused.

A moment later, she shrugged her shoulders, picking up a few things from the shop. She would just get something she liked. At that moment, Amelia realized everyone had a trace of selfishness in their hearts, even her.

Just when she was about to pick up a potato, an unknown man pushed her away from the stall. He asked in a rough voice, "Do you know the price?"

Amelia held a potato in her hand and presented him with a questioning look.

He could've asked without pushing her. The man gave her a sly smile, but she ignored it and moved up to the corner. Just when she was about to pick up another potato, his fingers brushed against her.
