Since She Met Lucian

Before Amelia could utter a word, Courtney already hung up.
"Courtney this is..." Amelia was filled with confusion. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. She stood up and asked carefully, "Who is it?"
"Amelia, it's me." The soft familiar voice came through the door to Amelia's ear.
Upon hearing the voice, Amelia’s hand trembled as she held the doorknob. Although she wanted to open the door, a burst of
panic rose in her heart.
At this moment, she was eager to see him but not because she missed him. As for Amelia, it was the other way around, she
wanted to push him away.
After weighing things in her mind, she opened the door and showed herself. Looking at Lucian's face, it was filled with familiar
coldness.
"Have you eaten already?" Lucian concernedly asked as he stood in front of her. He did not notice the displeased expression on
her face.
In front of the door, Amelia remained standing. As for Lucian, he couldn't move into the house.
"Let me out!" she begged to break the long deafening silence.
At the sight of her pleading eyes, Lucian felt pain in his heart as his eyes narrowed.
"Amelia, don’t be stubborn. Listen to me this time, okay?" he said. Lucian stayed up all night, his eyes turned red due to
bloodshot. Tiredness was evident on his face.
The moment Amelia laid her eyes on him, she noticed his face looked exhausted. Eventually, her eyes intertwined with Lucian's
eyes.
"Do you feel okay? Are you sick?" Usually, Lucian appeared to be an energetic person but he looked like the opposite today. It
was obvious that his energy ran out. In addition, he had bloodshot in his eyes. Earlier, Amelia was in a bad mood, but the winds
quickly changed as she was now full of worry.
In that instance, Lucian noticed the worried look on her face. Intentionally he played a self-injury trick to stop Amelia from leaving
and said, "I am not feeling well. I was bombarded with work these days. I accidentally caught a cold. I also did not sleep well last
night."

After finishing his words, Lucian thoughtfully touched his forehead, looking exhausted.
"If that’s the case, why don't you go to see a doctor?" Amelia's heart fastened. She leaned over to Lucian's side and gently said,
"You should have a rest. I saw a medical kit in the room last night. I’ll check if there is any medicine for cold."
Before Amelia walked away, she invited Lucian inside.
As Lucian entered the door, a sly smile flashed upon his face.
While Amelia was taking the medical kit, Lucian pretended to cough severely.
The sound of coughing made Amelia more nervous. She hurriedly held the medical kit and walked towards Lucian. As she
opened the box, she asked, "Have you taken some medicines recently? If you haven't, we should go to the hospital to get
yourself checked."
Unconsciously, due to her worry, a deep frown appeared in her face.
Seeing that she cared about him, a part of Lucian’s heart felt relieved. Making her anxious was not his intention, so he held her
busy hands to calm her down and said, "I just didn’t sleep well last night. Don’t worry too much. I can handle this."
The truth was he almost got no sleep last night. When he arrived home in the morning, he fell asleep in bed for less than three
hours.
"I have found medicines for cold. You should take it. I’ll get you a glass of water," Amelia said firmly.
Lucian replied with a smile of happiness and wrapped his arms around her body.
Shocked by Lucian’s actions, Amelia dropped the box of pills on the ground and remained frozen.
At that time, Lucian rubbed his head against her neck as if he was looking for the most comfortable position. Then he muttered in
her ear, "Why are you so skinny? I can feel your bones and it hurts even if I just lean against it for a while."
Although he was complaining, his heart was being shattered.
By the looks of her, Amelia's body was way too thin. Lucian blamed himself for not taking good care of her.
Amelia felt a warm feeling on her chest, spreading in every part of her body. A ticklish feeling rose inside her.

"You need to take the medicine..." she said uneasily as she turned her face away.
Their current position was so intimate, no words could escape Amelia’s mouth. Burying his head in her arms, Lucian behaved
like a spoiled lazy cat. By the turn of events, Amelia wondered when this matured man began to act like a baby in front of her.
"You are my medicine." After saying these words, Lucian held Amelia’s face and passionately kissed her. All of a sudden, his
sexy, thin lips covered her soft lips. He tossed and turned their positions, which increased the intensity of their kiss.
Amelia gasped for air. Feeling suffocated, she gripped his shirt and tried to push him away. However, it was useless against him.
Inch by inch, the kiss weakened her body. She stopped attempting to break the kiss, letting herself drown in their affection.
For a long time, Lucian received poor treatment from Amelia. But at that time, she was hugging him tightly, which made him
hesitant to let her go.
After the affectionate kiss, Lucian released Amelia who immediately blushed and caressed her face.
Every time he would force a kiss without precaution, she would be overwhelmed by this high-handed kisses.
Amelia’s heart was beating faster than ever before. She held out Lucian’s hand and sadly said," You said you got a cold."
"I’m feeling a lot better now." Lucian was aloof enough to reply jokingly, "You don’t have to worry. It’s not infected."
After hearing what he said, Amelia looked up and stared at him angrily.
Being stared by her, Lucian felt embarrassed. Carefully, he touched his nose, bent over and picked up the medicines that she
dropped on the ground. He held it in his hand and sincerely reminded her, "Pregnant women can’t take medicines at will,
remember?"
Suddenly, his expression drastically changed as he became serious again.
At that moment, Amelia did not know what she should feel. She was confused about whether she should laugh or cry.
Regardless of what happened, she still wanted to leave.
As Lucian’s face darkened, he said coldly, "You know I always stick to my words." Forcing Amelia to stay was never easy for
Lucian, but that was his only way to ensure her safety.

If Amelia was sent back to the Mo family, she would hear those dreadful words Sophia and her daughter used against her. In
addition, the family members’ kindness to her was based on their benefits.
Just by hearing Lucian’s voice, she could feel his anger. If she directly fought against him, it would not end well. Besides, she did
not want to make trouble out of nothing. She calmly said, "Do you really intend to mix-up yourself with me for a lifetime?"
"Yes and that's final." His tone was determined, it was reflected in his eyes.
Amelia ran out of words. Depending on the way he answered, she thought that Lucian would not change his mind if he already
settled his mind to do it.
"Mr. Lucian, about that, I... I really don’t know how to face you. I am not comfortable at all." Amelia touched her forehead out of
frustration, pain could be seen in her expression.
With his tired eyes, Lucian looked fixedly on her. Then, he stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms. Deep inside
him, he was aware that Amelia did not want to talk to him, but he still trapped her in his embrace.
For some reason, these kinds of outrageous actions were beneficial to Amelia. At first, she tried to stop it but failed, so she had
no other choice but to do things his way.
"I’m tired. Allow me to rest for a while," he said with exhaustion, lying on her shoulder.
Without a doubt, Amelia was mad at him. However, her heart softened the moment she heard the tired voice of Lucian. She
stayed still and let him rest his head on her shoulder.
Due to his tiredness, Lucian probably fell asleep after he said those words.
Outside the window, the bright sunlight sprinkled all over the room through the floor to the ceiling window and shone over
Lucian’s well-proportioned face. Avoiding to disturb his peaceful sleep, Amelia gently moved his head to her knees as she tried
to make his sleeping position more comfortable.
Amelia was clueless about why Lucian could not sleep well last night and the reason he did not wake up at all.
The straight nose bridge looked firmer in the soft light. The delicate features on his face were usually cold and afraid. However,
at this moment, it was warm as the bright sunshine outside the window.

The moment Lucian fell asleep was the only time for Amelia to drop her act. While pretending to be annoyed by his presence,
she secretly wished to stare at his face. Her eyes were filled with love and longing she had been hiding in the deepest part of her
heart for a long time.
Amelia always kept in her mind the fact that Lucian had a wife. For that reason, she could not be too intimate with him. But
seeing his tired face, she could not just put him away.
As for this moment, the only thing she could do was to keep him close...
Lucian smiled as if he had a good dream. His face was glowing with delight.
The sun was already setting when Lucian woke up. Her body was covered by a thin blanket.
The light was off inside the room, due to darkness Lucian confusedly looked around. He felt uncomfortable until he found the
light from the kitchen was on.
Quietly standing in the kitchen’s door, Lucian was watching Amelia who was busy in the kitchen. At this moment, he felt like they
were back in the time when they were still married.
He did not mean to scare Amelia. However, he was shocked when she turned around.
"Have you been there for a long time? When did you wake up?" she said. When Lucian was fast asleep, Amelia thought he
would sleep a little longer. Thus, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The moment she turned around, she saw him staring
at her quietly, which made her panic.
Feeling sorry, Lucian scratched the back of his head. He noticed that Amelia was holding the dish in her hand, he reached for it
and asked, "Are you done? Is the food ready? I'm feeling hungry."
Those words came out of his mouth in a very natural manner, sounding like they were an old married couple who had lived
together for more than ten years.
Amelia’s face blushed. Then, she smiled as she handed the food to Lucian and said, "There’s still a soup left. Do not wait for me.
You can eat first if you’re hungry."
"No, I'll wait for you," he replied. Amelia mentioned that eating alone was bad for her. On the other hand, Lucian was used to
handling himself and taking care of everything, so he did not mind at all. However, after their divorce, he deeply realized the pain
of eating alone.

A simple home-cooked dish of meat and a bowl of soup were more than enough for the both of them.
"Go ahead. You should eat plenty to regain your energy." Amelia filled a bowl of rice for Lucian and served him with a smile.
Seeing Amelia wearing a floral apron, a curve formed on Lucian's lips as he felt happiness coming from within.
Amelia noticed the smile on his face and asked curiously, "Why are you smiling?" Undeniably she felt beyond happy when she
saw his smile.
