Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 78

Those honest words were more touching than the announcement made in the church.

Lucian had told Amelia of his whereabouts after work two days ago when they went down the mountain.

Back then, he had prepared everything before going. But who knew Sasha would propose to participate in the worship with him? She knew it was Fiona's death anniversary. He had reluctantly agreed because he didn't want her to stay in the office. Although he refused to go with Sasha after work.

Sasha had said those words to ignite jealousy in Amelia's heart. Who could have thought that Sasha wanted Amelia and Lucian to fight?

The couple got in the car. Lucian turned toward Amelia and gazed at her affectionately. "Amelia, use your brain from now on." His voice carried a hint of love.

Amelia nodded. "I won't be fooled the next time." Now that Amelia had been fooled twice, she was too scared to believe in Sasha's words.

Lucian turned to focus on the road with a smile on his face. "I wouldn't have known how much my wife cared about me if it weren't for Sasha." He was pleased. The distressing event that happened yesterday was forgotten.

"Lucian, can you promise me something?" She decided to reveal her heart to him when he was in a good mood.

"Last night, you picked me from the bar already. You don't have to ask me like this." Lucian acted like he knew what Amelia was going to say.

She hesitated before opening her mouth. She knew that the name "Jonny" was a taboo for Lucian. Still, she had to make it clear to avoid future quarrels because of that name.

"Jonny and I are just friends." Amelia glanced at Lucian's face to see his reaction. She didn't want him to lose his temper because of misunderstandings.

Her mind traveled back to last night's incident. She knew she was emotionally unstable. A flush of guilt spread across her heart, and she looked down. "I shouldn't have been angry at you. I'll be more careful in the future."

Lucian shook his head. "I said something worse, so I was wrong too..." Her confused eyes gazed at Lucian. It seemed he wasn't angry anymore. She sighed in relief, thinking she had apologized on time.

He stared on the road and said, "I owe Sasha a lot. My mother... I mean, Fannie had harmed Sasha in the past." That's why he broke the rules to invite Sasha to the Zhan Group.

"I know." Amelia's lips stretched to form a bright smile, and she confidently said, "I am the only one in your heart!"

Lucian's shoulders relaxed, and he rolled his eyes at her. "It's difficult to forget that when my wife is so stupid." Even though he acted playfully, his heart was warm as a summer's breeze.

She frowned, sending a glare at him. "I'm not stupid. I just didn't want to hide anything from you. Weren't you the one praising me for being smart days ago?" Lucian had said that she was both stupid and smart. She didn't know what to think of that.

They had made up now anyway. Even though the weather was foggy, Amelia's heart was shining like the sun.

Amelia looked at Lucian from the corner of her eyes. The experience and pain of losing her mother was similar to that of Lucian's. Fannie was the younger sister of Fiona, who married Nicholas after Lucian's mother passed away. Still, Lucian couldn't give Fannie the mother's title and avoided that for a long time. Fannie didn't care anymore when he grew up.

"So, you were in such a hurry to get married because of her?" Amelia didn't want to stop asking questions. It was rare for him to answer without hesitation.

Lucian pressed his lips in a thin line. "It was one of the reasons."

"Okay, I'm officially screwed." That was why Fannie hated her to death. Amelia had ruined Fannie's plans by marrying Lucian.

"Actually, you were supposed to be a substitute, but now we are on the same page." Lucian presented her with a relieved smile after sharing this with Amelia.

Amelia averted her eyes. She didn't want to talk about this anymore and looked at Lucian again. "Don't worry, Lucian. Your father is a good man." Lucian's heart would be distressed if they talked about Fannie.

He frowned and said something even more puzzling, "He is an old man, and he sits in a wheelchair. Of course, you'll think he is good."

Amelia didn't know what to say. An uncomfortable silence embraced them. She glanced at Lucian and said, "Forget it. Let bygones be bygones."

Even though Amelia said those words to break the uncomfortable silence, it touched Lucian's heart. He stopped at the signal and gazed at her with sincere and affectionate eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Every time Lucian looked at her like this, a trace of blush would crawl on her cheeks.

"Because you're right," Lucian said and looked away, focusing on the road. His lips curved up to form a smile.

It was the weekend, and Amelia woke up late. Naturally, Lucian had turned off the alarm clock so that Amelia could sleep a bit longer. By the time Amelia woke up, she found Lucian sitting on the couch, drinking coffee, and staring intently on the newspaper in his hand.

Amelia gazed at the man on the sofa and smiled. "Good morning Lucian." Just as she was about to enter the bathroom, she heard faint greeting words. Amelia turned to look at smiling Lucian, who looked at her with love and care. Warmth flooded in her heart, and she hurriedly entered the bathroom.

Half an hour later, she stepped out, but Lucian was nowhere to be found. Maybe he was sleeping?

She was surprised when she found Lucian getting the table ready for breakfast. While eating, he casually told her that he had to visit the Zhan mansion as he failed to go on New Year's Day. He couldn't just ignore Fannie's missed calls on his phone, could he?
