Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 104

Amelia was stunned for some time. When she finally snapped back to reality, she shook her head and glared at Lucian. "That was before. Not now, and definitely not in the future," she told him.

Nothing would change the fact that the An Group saved the Zhan Group. Because of this, it went without question that Lucian would marry Shelly. There was no way that Amelia could bear to mess up their relationship. If she did, how different would she be from a home wrecker?

Lucian looked deeply in Amelia's eyes as he pretended to keep calm. "Do you really want your child be born without a father?" he finally asked.

His question had definitely provoked the anger in Amelia's heart. The last thing she wanted was for the baby to be brought up.

Although she didn't deny that Lucian was the baby's father, she never thought about asking him for some support.

Taking a deep breath, Amelia tried to calm her nerves. "He's mine," she said through gritted teeth, "He has nothing to do with you."

There was so much strength in Amelia's voice that it was quite obvious she was not going to change her mind any time soon.

Meanwhile, Lucian understood the underlying meaning in Amelia's words -- she was making a cold remark that was based on their relationship.

"But the child is also mine! You can't just cut me off like that just because you say so," Lucian glowered coldly.

For a while, the two just stared each other down, pain and anger in their eyes.

Finally, Amelia spoke up. "If you really insist on being associated with this child," she said in a low voice, "You'll leave me no other choice but to get an abortion."

Maybe it was because of the amount of rage she felt or because it was what she really thought was best; whatever the reason, Amelia said such vicious words right at Lucian's face without a second thought.

After saying that, Amelia's lips trembled. She did not expect that she would be capable to say something as harsh as that.

Immediately, Lucian's face was filled with sadness and loss. It was as if he had just lost a hopeless battle. Averting his gaze from Amelia, he straightened up and adjusted his tie.

"As long as you take care of yourself, I will not come to bother you," he said coldly. It was obvious that Lucian was in so much pain.

Looking up at him, she saw how broken the expression on his face was. Seeing Lucian like this made Amelia hurt so much.

Lucian walked to the door, his hand already on the knob. Before going out, he paused at the doorway and cast a sidelong glance back at Amelia. Her face was the same as he had always remembered, a truly beautiful woman that could easily move his heart.

However, there was something different about the way she looked right now. It was as if she was no longer the same woman who always had a smile on her face.

"Lily said you should finish the chicken soup she made for you, or else she would be sad," Lucian said before finally walking out and closing the door behind him.

A sharp, piercing pain went through Amelia's heart when she heard the door click close.

Burying her face in her hands, Amelia allowed herself to cry for a while. At that moment, she felt so drained and tired. After a while, she pulled herself together and walked up to the table in the dining room.

There was a big bowl with a lid on top. Amelia lifted the lid, and instantly the smell of the soup wafted into her senses. It smelled so good and comforting that she felt as if a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Wiping the tears away from her face, Amelia went into the kitchen and grabbed an empty bowl. With a sniff, she sat down on the table and helped herself to Lily's soup. Amelia tried to eat slowly, but she couldn't help gulping it down so quickly. It was such a familiar and comforting taste that she managed to eat everything all by herself.

After eating the very last drop, she noticed that there was actually a note stuck on the container:

"Mrs. Amelia, I thought you said that you were on a trip... Why did you lie? Despite all the bad things they say about you on the news, I don't believe that you are really that willing to leave Mr. Lucian. You love him so much, and he loves you too. I won't go back to my hometown, Mrs. Amelia. I will wait for your return to SJ Gardens. I know you will come back soon."

The handwriting, the way it was written, the choice of words... It was apparent that Lily was the one who wrote this note.

After reading Lily's message twice over, Amelia felt an uneasiness sweep through her. It appears that Lily was doubtful that Amelia would give up on her love for Lucian without so much as blinking an eye.

The more Amelia thought about it, the more she came to realize how ungrateful she really was. Lily had been nothing but kind towards Amelia, and yet Amelia still found it in herself to lie just so that she could leave SJ Garden.

The courtyard was fairly calm and quiet. Mrs. Chen wasn't going to come back tonight. After cleaning up and fixing her things, Amelia was just about to go to sleep when her phone suddenly rang. It was a message from an anonymous number. Judging from how the message started, Amelia already had a good guess who it was:
