Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 6

As a lesson from her drunkenness, Amelia decided she wasn't going to believe everything Lucian said which she thought was reasonable.

"Why are you staring at me? Just order the food." He stared at Amelia who seemed mad.

"Stop talking." Amelia sat down with her hand on her forehead. She was a mess right now as her head was still spinning from everything that happened this morning.

"All right. After dinner, I'll take you to the mall. If you don't want to go shopping, just tell me your sizes and I'll ask someone to buy some clothes for you." After the dishes were served on the table, Lucian took his chopsticks and began eating.

'My sizes?'

Amelia hugged herself immediately and said warily, "I have my own clothes to wear. You don't need to worry about me!"

Lucian looked up and said in a mocking tone, "No one would steal your clothes even if you threw them out in the trash. Since you're now my wife, you need to change your clothes. What you have right now is too shabby and people might talk."

"No one's going to laugh as long as you don't tell on us!" While she really wasn't in the mood to eat, she had no choice but to take her anger out on the food in front of her.

When Lucian saw that Amelia was already gobbling up her food, he frowned. He then handed her a cup of tea and said, "Slow down. It'll be embarrassing if you suddenly choke on your food."

While one would think that what Lucian did was very sweet, what he said definitely wasn't.

Amelia took the cup, rolled her eyes at Lucian, and said crossly, "You're always embarrassing me. How are we ever going to do this?"

She then recalled the photos and started growing angry again.

"Yes, why wouldn't you just tell me your sizes now that you've already been feeling so embarrassed? Besides, it is your ex-boyfriend that embarrassed you. You wouldn't ever go out of your way to do something for him, right?" Lucian said in a deceivingly gentle tone. Still, his words hit Amelia like a bus.

But then she realized that she shouldn't feel sad about Jasper cheating on her anymore. She shouldn't punish herself by dwelling on the past.

"That's right!" She wasn't as angry anymore and was taking time in eating her food now.

After dinner, Lucian took Amelia to go shopping in the department store that was more expensive than most.

Lucian had already planned ahead. He asked the shop assistant to choose the most popular styles according to her taste. Within half an hour, the shop assistant collected twenty-three sets of clothes for Amelia. Lucian then took Amelia to the jewelry store. This time, Lucian chose necklace, earrings, and the most beautiful diamond ring they had in the store for her in person.

"Lucian, this is enough." When the shiny diamond ring was put on her ring finger, she was so shocked that she immediately tried to take it off.

"Amelia, we're a couple now. It's perfectly normal for you to wear a ring. We're married, right? Why are you taking it off?" Lucian's tone was gentle which made Amelia stop trying to take off the ring. As she touched the ring, she could feel her heart beating very fast.

When Amelia was leaving the mall, she accidentally bumped into Yolanda and Jasper—the last two people she wanted to see. Just as she was about to make a detour, Yolanda approached her and cried, "Amelia! It's you!"

Amelia's eyes widened. She didn't know what to feel. 'Was Yolanda crazy?' she thought inwardly. Yolanda normally frowned whenever she saw Amelia. But she was acting the complete opposite now—she was actually being friendly to Amelia. Maybe she had already realized her mistakes.

"I heard from Jasper that your husband is very rich. He offered the Mo family ten million to marry you!" Yolanda continued, "Lucky you didn't end up with Jasper, right? Or you wouldn't have ended up with such a rich husband!"

Amelia's face darkened and then she glanced at Jasper, who was standing behind Yolanda.

"Yolanda, shut up." Jasper cowardly grabbed Yolanda's top to pull her towards him, bowed to Amelia, and thanked her.

'Thank you? Is it for the money?' Amelia pondered.

"Just because you're shameless doesn't mean that I am too! My husband gave the money to my father without my knowledge, but my father didn't ask for that money. I guess some people just like taking money, huh? They were even planning to hold a beautiful and expensive wedding ceremony. So let me ask you this. Who are you to spend my money? One of you cheated on me while the other one stole my ex-boyfriend? Hmm? What makes you different from all those trashy men and women on TV? So I won't allow you to take that money!" Amelia snapped. She couldn't hold her anger anymore. She let it all out in one breath. Jasper and Yolanda exchanged glances.

Lucian had just gone to get his car and he had just come back. When he heard Amelia, he started clapping. "Honey, I'm back. Wow, that was amazing. I'm so lucky to have you as my wife!"

Jasper and Yolanda raised their heads at the same time and looked up at him with admiration. Yolanda begged, "Please talk to her. Jasper and I are planning to get married soon. We just..."

"I'm sorry, Miss Yolanda, the check was sent by my assistant. The person who has the check is Mr. Vernon and he just called me and said he was going to return the check. It'll now serve as Amelia's dowry for our marriage." With a faint smile on his lips, Lucian reached out and put his arm around Amelia who looked extra small next to him.

"Is that true?" Amelia looked at Lucian incredulously, surprised and excited.

With a doting smile on his face, Lucian nodded, "Yup."
