Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 85

Suddenly Amelia realized she was actually getting teased by her husband. She stopped moving and glared at Lucian furiously.

Watching his wife sulking cutely, Lucian smirked. He enjoyed teasing his sweet wife, but couldn't see her irked for a longer period. Clearly she was annoyed right now. Thus he coaxed, "I apologize sweetheart. It's just I enjoy it a little too much when you care for me like this. This won't happen again. I promise." To emphasize his words, he touched his right hand to his heart as a promising gesture.

Amelia rolled her eyes at his drama. He sometimes behaved like a child. But this new found goofiness in him was although absurd, she had started to like this side of him. She stared into his eyes and all her vexation melted away. She slapped his hand away as a playful gesture and huffed, "So, you didn't mean I treated you poorly? Because, it definitely sounded so."

"Oh! Did it?" Lucian teased her once more. Then smiled watching her pout again, "Oh! My sweet wife. Of course, I didn't mean that." He continued after a small pause, "You know what? You are the most beautiful and courteous wife in the whole world." He took the opportunity of her speechlessness and pulled her flush against him. Amelia blushed in his arms and giggled, "Having a sweet talk. Are we?" Although she said that verbally, but she was beaming like crazy. His love made her heart swell.

"However, Mrs. Amelia," Lucian started in a complaining tone, "You've committed an offense just now. Your harsh strike upon my delicate feet has hurt me something serious." Lucian murmured in her ears flirtatiously as he pulled her even closer.

Amelia almost believed him at first. She frowned at first then when she realized his intention, she played along. "Really? Then we should visit a doctor immediately. Is there a doctor's clinic nearby?"

"Oh! No need for that. Besides, it's just early morning. No doctor is available now except..." Lucian breathed, "If you wish, you can cure me pretty quickly." Soon after saying so, without giving her any time to respond, he pressed his lips on hers and concealed every worry she might be having in her heart.

Throughout the week after the New Year, they would visit shopping malls, movies and other places during the day and at night, after returning home, Lucian would treat her extra special. Amelia really thought they were living a cute couple life literally.

However the good time passed by quickly and it was time for Lucian to leave for his work. Even so, Amelia wasn't really upset, because she knew, no matter how much time his work required from him, he would always return to her.

On the other side, Lily appeared refreshed after her vacation. She was in her usual cheerful mood the next morning while making breakfast. When she saw Amelia coming downstairs, she flashed a bright smile at her and then gushed, "Mrs. Amelia, I have a good news for you."

"Oh? Look at you! You're looking so energetic and happy. Are you in love?" Amelia asked returning the smile. Amelia knew something was definitely up as Lily was looking so refreshed and giddy. So, she guessed the reason of her happiness which she hope would turn out true.

Lily was a 20-year-old young and pretty woman. It was absolutely normal for women of her age falling in love with some gentleman.

Lily gasped, "Mrs. Amelia, how did you guess? I had thought to surprise you." Then it was indeed true. Lily was in love.

Amelia grinned, "I'm sorry that you missed the chance of surprising me. But I'm so happy for you. And I can definitely see that you had special time during the past few days!" Amelia was indeed happy for Lily from the bottom of her heart. But then the thought dawned on her. She looked at her with a sad smile as she asked, "Then you're leaving us? Because now that you have a boyfriend, you'd probably be moving with him."

The thought of Lily leaving her, made Amelia genuinely sad.

Lily's smile vanished in an instant. She sighed as she eyed Amelia sadly, "My boyfriend lives in the same town as mine. His family is rich as they have an illustrious business of several chain stores. He had indeed asked me to move with him and run the business alongside him."

This was undoubtedly a good offer. Although upset, Amelia assured with a smile, "Lily, no one is pressing you. It's your choice. So make it wisely and from heart." She paused for a quick second before continuing, "You want to spend the rest of your life with him. So it is up to you whether you want to decrease the distance between you and him now or later. Just know, whatever decision you'll take, I'll be happy for you from my heart."

Lily's mouth fell open as she stared at Amelia in awe. "Mrs. Amelia, I didn't expect you to be this much considerate! And this is really making me feel special." Since long, Lily was having trouble to inform this news to Lucian and Amelia. She never really expected Amelia would take it so positively and understand her concern so well. Touched by Amelia's understanding, she felt overwhelmed. But when she remembered Lucian and her contract, it drained colors from her face. She hesitated as she asked Amelia anxiously, "Mrs. Amelia, could you please convince Mr. Lucian about it?" Lily was worried for the contract that she had signed with Lucian. If she resigned suddenly like this, she might be breaking the contract's terms.

Legal action could be taken against her in that case. It was Lily who wanted to earn some extra money and insisted Lucian for that long-term contract. She never had thought that her plan would not work in the near future.

Amelia gave her an assuring smile. "Lily, both Lucian and I consider you as our little sister. You don't need to worry about that." Amelia reached for her and gave her shoulder a comfortable squeeze.

After Lucian left for the business trip which was about for a week, Amelia asked Frank to take her to the company.

On the way, Amelia and Frank talked on trivial matters like his family and all. Amelia liked Frank and it was good to know each other. "Mrs. Amelia, why are you visiting the office? Mr. Lucian is also not there. Wouldn't you feel bored there? I would suggest you take the week off and relax at home," Frank suggested her honestly.

Amelia smiled at first. Her eyes wandered out the car's window as she observed the busy city life. She suddenly missed Lucian's presence. Then she answered Frank quietly, "The job of sitting at home all day is too boring. If I don't come out now and interact with people other than Lily, I'll simply go crazy. And I don't think, Lucian would pay me well for going crazy."

Frank laughed aloud at her response. "You are humorous, Mrs. Amelia." "Oh! Why, thank you Frank." Amelia indeed liked Frank's easy attitude.

When they reached the office, Frank informed her that she wouldn't find Eric out of all employees. As Eric was the most skilled assistant of Zhan Group, Lucian always took Eric with him every time he went on a business trip. Amelia noted down the information before entering the building. Then she was escorted to the CEO's office by one of the employees. Soon after spending an hour, she realized how terribly bored she felt. She walked around Lucian's office, flipping through the files and realized there was nothing she could do or even understand from them. So, she put them back in place, then sat on Lucian's chair and rested her head on the desk.

Duh! She blew out a frustrated breath. It was indeed a bad idea to visit the office. She felt more useless than she would have felt at home. Soon a drowsiness hit her due to the inactivity. Just when she was about to fall asleep completely, the phone on Lucian's desk rang out loud. She bolted upright and reached for the phone to answer it. She tried to sound polite as much as she could. "Hello, this is the Zhan Group. How may I help you?"

But unfortunately she was greeted by an angry bark from the other side, "Amelia, why aren't you replying to my calls and texts?" It was Lucian. The harsh coldness of his voice immediately scared her out. She couldn't even answer to him right away. His enraged dominating tone was so frightening that she fumbled and checked her phone hurriedly. And noticed she had twenty three missed calls and fifteen messages from Lucian.

She took a deep breath, gaining the courage to respond then answered honestly, "I had my phone in silent mode. I didn't notice. I'm sorry."

She heard him sigh from the other side before he said, "It's time for lunch. I called to remind you not to forget to eat." His voice now a little warmer than previous. However, as soon he said that, Amelia's heart melted away. He cared for her that much?

She breathed, "Okay." Could he surprise her anymore? Amelia's heart twitched suddenly when she thought of the long distance between Lucian and her. She sighed then asked quietly, "When will you return?"

Although she knew his work trip would end in a week, but thinking about staying away from him for so long made her sad. She wanted to stay close to him and feel loved.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. Amelia feared he might find it disturbing that she was coming on the way of his work, but when she heard his response it squeezed her heart inside. He said in a low voice, "I miss you."
