Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 75

"Mrs. Amelia, you like lilies too!" Lily said excitedly as she walked over and immediately caught a whiff of the scent of the lilies. "Back in our hometown, we have a valley that was filled with lilies. I used to play there all the time and I'd always pick a bunch of lilies to take home with me."

"Really? If it's possible, I'd like to visit your hometown one of these days," Amelia replied happily.

The ever observant Lily couldn't help but notice that there were exactly 11 lilies. She couldn't help but ask in curiosity, "Eleven flowers symbolize your one true love for the rest of your life. Is this for Mr. Lucian?"

At the mention of Lucian, Amelia's hand froze as she was organizing the flowers. That wasn't her intention at all. She just happened to randomly pick 11 lilies.

"What can we cook for dinner? I'm so hungry." Amelia decided to change the subject.

Lily didn't press anymore. Instead, she merrily said, "Mr. Lucian cares about you so much, Mrs. Amelia. He called to tell me to cook dinner for you since you were on your way home already. I actually thought you were coming home together."

Lily then started serving Amelia some rice.

"So Lucian had already called you before I came home?" Amelia asked in surprise.

Thinking of Lucian going on a date with Sasha put Amelia in a foul mood.

"I didn't think you'd come home for dinner, Mrs. Amelia. I only started cooking after Mr. Lucian called me," Lily replied frankly.

During dinner, Amelia was lost in her thoughts. She wondered how Lucian knew where she was. Could it be that he had asked someone to follow her?

She knew that it was definitely a possibility since this was Lucian we were talking about. Was there anything he couldn't do?

She had no idea if Lucian was going home that night. When clock struck midnight, she decided she wasn't going to wait any longer. Shutting off the lights, she covered herself in her quilt. However, her mind was racing—her thoughts wouldn't let her go to sleep.

She just kept wondering the same thing: why Lucian still wasn't home. Was he with Sasha now?

It was difficult being in her position—overthinking every single thing over a man and now more than ever, Amelia knew how stressful it was.

She held her phone in her hand, thinking if she could call Lucian. She went back and forth, turning her phone on and off until she finally decided against it.

She slept fitfully that night. When her alarm rang, she immediately got up since she was half asleep the entire night anyway. Her eyes were sore and swollen. Checking the time, she quickly sat up on the bed which made her feel dizzy. Feeling a little defeated, she lay on the bed again. She wanted to get up but she had no energy since she had little sleep that night. However, she had no choice. So she got up and washed up to prepare for work.

The room was very quiet. There was no other sounds except the ones she made. By then, she had to admit to herself that Lucian really didn't come home.

In order to cheer herself up, she washed her face with cold water despite the cold morning weather. As soon as she felt the cold water in her hands, she started freezing. Even as she started washing, she shivered as the water was very cold.

Since she didn't have a good night's sleep, she was tired and she didn't have any appetite. When she saw Lily waiting for her at the dining table like she always did, she greeted her and went to put on her shoes.

Lily walked over curiously, noticing the foul mood Amelia was in. In concern, she asked, "Mrs. Amelia, did you not sleep well last night? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?"

This hadn't gone unnoticed by Amelia. She noticed her eye bags while she was washing up. She tried to cover it with light make-up but Lily still noticed.

Trying to avoid being late for work, she left in a hurry.

Since Lucian didn't come home, she figured she couldn't take his car to work. So she chose the most inconvenient way to go to work—walking.

She didn't want to use the car Lucian had given her for two reasons: she didn't want to attract attention and she found it troublesome to drive to work.

It took about 20 minutes to get to the bus station. Fortunately, she had enough time that she didn't need to hurry.

The morning was shrouded by a thick fog while the sky was cloudy and grey.

Amelia walked despite the chilly weather. She quickened her pace in an attempt to distract herself from the cold and her own thoughts.

Despite her exhaustion, she still arrived at the bus stop five minutes earlier than she had expected. As she stood at the bus stop waiting for the bus, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned, she was surprised to find a familiar face. In surprise, she said, "Jonny?"

She didn't expect to see Jonny here. It was a nice surprise as this distracted her from her thoughts. She smiled even brighter to Jonny.

"I parked over there. I can drive you to work," Jonny said with a gentle smile as he pointed to where his car was parked, not too far away.

When she thought of how angry Lucian had gotten the last time she and Jonny were together, she quickly refused. Putting on a kind smile, she said, "It's fine, Jonny. The office isn't far from here anyway. I can take a bus."
