Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 94

It was a lovely night as Amelia and Jonny made their way to the banquet. Amelia was a little nervous, considering that the banquet would be held at the most luxurious hotel in the city. As soon as they stepped inside the building, they saw Edmund and his wife waiting for them at the lobby. Amelia, not wanting to make another scene, greeted them politely.

Jonny's mother, Emma Chen, gave a warm smile back and warmly welcomed them, "Jonny, Amelia. Welcome."

"Mom," Jonny muttered curtly and didn't greet Edmund. He turned his head aside as if the man did not exist.

"How rude of you not to greet me!" Edmund said to Amelia in a manner that could even freeze summer.

With an embarrassed look on her face, Emma pulled Edmund's sleeve. "Amelia is not familiar with us. Don't be rude to her or she'll be scared." She then turned to Amelia and apologized for Edmund's behavior.

"Can you stop being such a bummer?" Jonny couldn't help but retort. He furrowed his eyebrows deeply. When his eyes landed on Edmund, Jonny was already eyeing him in disgust.

"Fannie wasn't satisfied with her before. I quite agree with her." After giving a cold glance at Amelia, Edmund decided to enter.

Amelia's heart was trembling. She was not afraid, but the scene already felt familiar to her. It was the first time she came to the Zhan mansion and faced the sarcastic remarks of Fannie. That woman could not seem to hold her tongue. And today, Edmund welcomed her in the same tone.

"Amelia, Jonny's father is not in a good mood. Don't worry, I'm satisfied with you." In an attempt to salvage the situation, Emma gave it her best to comfort Amelia who seemed to already be worn out from the exchange. The banquet had not even started yet.

Looking at the gentle demeanor of Emma, Amelia felt less sad. She smiled, "It is alright."

"Let's head inside, shall we?" Emma's smile warmed her heart.

Amelia wasn't expecting Lucian and his family to have arrived earlier. As soon as she and Jonny appeared, everyone's eyes were on them. Although she was not sure that everyone's eyes were looking at her, she faintly felt that sharp eyes were staring at her.

As she made her way to the door, she saw that Fannie who was dressed elegantly, was looking at her with disdainful eyes. And Shelly was in a purple dress, whose hair was coiled up and her makeup was delicate. She was so beautiful that people couldn't help but take a few more glances at her. However, the resentment in her eyes was really hard to ignore.

Amelia didn't want to see Lucian on purpose, but from the corner of her eyes, she could still feel his stare.

An invisible attraction was making way through her, like a magnet forcing her to look at his direction several times. But she forced herself to hold back.

"Well, everyone is here. Please have the dishes served," Nicholas jovially announced. It was easy to read that he was very happy.

Amelia kept her head down. She didn't know what to do in a situation like this. She rubbed her fingers along her nails in an attempt to distract herself. Anything that could calm her nerves. She didn't know how to control the situation.

As the dishes were being served, Fannie took this chance to get the table's attention. "It's a good day. You two have been engaged for so long. The day has finally come," she said with excitement visible in her eyes.

Although Amelia could not see the expression on Fannie's face, she could tell how happy she was from her tone.

"Yes, it's not an easy day today!" Edmund echoed in a cheerful voice. "In addition, Jonny has been single for a long time, and now he's going to marry. Anyway, it's a happy occasion."

He had brought up two contrasting events at the same time. Judging from his words, there were mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

"To Jonny, Congratulations!" Fannie said, forcing a smile on her face.

But it seemed that Jonny didn't care about it at all. He just said, "Thank you."

The atmosphere seemed to be lively, but it was embarrassing. Everyone seemed to be uncomfortable.

"Before we have our dinner, I'd like to propose a toast to all of you. Thank you for your well wishes to me and Lucian." Shelly stood up and proposed a toast to everyone present.

She didn't know why Shelly became more mature and prudent after the woman and Zachary became together. If it was before, she would definitely follow her mother's lead. And her words would be dripping with acid.

Or she had to put the interests of the whole into consideration in an occasion such as today.

Amelia also raised her glass with a smile.

"Drink this." All of a sudden, the glass in her hand was grabbed by Jonny and it was replaced by a cup of tea.

She was surprised, and then glanced at the people around with embarrassment. At the same time, she also glanced at Lucian. For a moment's notice, she seemed to have been lost in her senses. Amelia followed Jonny anyway.

"Oh, Jonny, I didn't expect you to be so sweet. No matter how delicate your girlfriend is, she must have a drink at least today on such an occasion." Looking at what had happened, it seemed that Fannie had found a chance to rebuke Amelia, so she became as mean as usual.

"Auntie Fannie, as a woman, you should know that all women have menstrual period." His face was expressionless and his reply was so straightforward that even himself felt embarrassed.

Amelia was surprised by Jonny's words. She turned around and looked at Jonny, wondering why he made such an excuse.

Moreover, Lucian knew that she could drink... Would Lucian think that she was pretending to be unable to drink?
