Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 51

Amelia almost lost control of herself. She covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Lucian, eyes full of affection.

Oftentimes, she found it difficult to see right through him but there were also instances where she felt as if she understood him—clear as day.

She always felt that they were from two different worlds. He was out of her league—he was much higher and they didn't have anything in common.

"What are you doing?" Lucian asked in confusion.

"Nothing... Nothing!" Amelia answered, flustered.

"What did Darren say to you?" Lucian asked curiously.

"Nothing... Nothing." She looked like a stuttering fool.

Lucian decided to let it go and just focus on his driving.

After returning to the SJ Garden, Lucian took off his coat. Amelia walked up to him with a bottle of disinfectant in her hand. She shook the bottle, smiled, and said, "My handsome Lucian, would you give me the honor of disinfecting your wound for you?"

Lucian rejected her without thinking. He frowned in disgust as he cast a cold glance at Amelia.

Amelia already knew that Lucian would refuse her. So she then said angrily, "Forget it. It's not my hand anyway. It makes no difference to me if your hand hurts or not. If it's infected then let it be infected. I have no choice but to take the responsibility because I'm your wife!"

With that, she got up and turned with the intention of leaving.

Lucian wasn't entirely clueless. Smiling, he pulled her into his arms. Her fragrance suddenly filled his nose, making his heart jump out of his chest. He couldn't help himself as he inhaled the scent of her hair.

"Ahh!" Amelia cried in a panic.

"Amelia, are you really fulfilling your duty as a wife?" He whispered in her ear.

Amelia's ears were hot as an electric shook went through her entire body.

"I don't think you have," he finally said.

As an adult, it was inevitable for her mind to assume that he meant something else. She blushed. "Well... we..." 'We're only married on paper,' Amelia thought to herself. 'He's talking nonsense.'

"I said I wouldn't force you to answer that question but..." With that, Lucian let go of Amelia. His eyes were full of tenderness. As he gazed at her, Amelia had to look away because she couldn't stand the intensity.

"Yes?" Amelia said after a long pause of neither of them saying anything.

'But you're the woman that I want to spend the rest of my life with,'

Lucian thought to himself. Still, he refused to say it out loud. He felt as if he said it now, it would be insincere.

He needed time to give both her and himself a chance to grow up. Their relationship had no foundation. They knew so little about each other.

"But I'm willing to accept your... offer." With his eyes full of mischief, Lucian reached out his hand and raised his eyebrows.

Turns out Lucian was naughty after all.

Amelia smiled from ear to ear as she grabbed his hand and disinfected it. Then she put a bandaid over it and reminded him, "Don't let it get wet."

Lucian couldn't help but be amused at how seriously she was taking all of this.

"Well, you can watch TV while I cook dinner." She then stood up and headed to the kitchen, rolling up her sleeves.

As Lucian watched her walk off, he couldn't help but smile, the warmth in his heart undeniable.

He felt that even though they hadn't been together for a very long time, the familiarity between them was almost as if they were more than family or friends who had known each other for years.

In the past, Amelia didn't really think anything of cooking. It was just something she did to satisfy her cravings but lately, she was finding it to be a source of happiness for her.

She loved being able to cook for the people that were important to her.

Lily, who would assist her whenever she cooked, always spoke highly of her cooking.

After a while, they were finally done cooking. They had made soup and four dishes which they served on the table. The smell was irresistible that Lucian couldn't wait to dig in all the food Amelia had cooked.

Amelia smiled in delight.

As Lucian ate, he gave her a thumbs up and said, "You know, with your cooking skills, I think the Zhan Group can expand to the restaurant industry."

As Lily watched the two of them have dinner, she couldn't help but gush, "Mr. Lucian and Mrs. Amelia are the perfect couple."

Lily always saw Lucian as someone who was cold and unapproachable. Oftentimes, she steered clear of him. However, now, Lucian was smiling and the tenderness in his eyes was evident.
