Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 105

This was Amelia's first day of work. Needless to say, she was both nervous and excited when her first customer came in.

She was told that she could give pastries to customers if she wasn't busy so she decided to make a tiramisu. When she served it to her customer who seemed like a foreigner, the foreigner seemed surprised. The foreigner then smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

"This is my first day of work here and you're my first ever customer. I hope I served you well today!" Amelia said shyly.

"Your tiramisu is very delicious. I'll be sure to remember you." The foreigner kept complimenting the tiramisu Amelia made.

"Thank you so much for your patronage. We hope you come back soon," Amelia said politely.

She wasn't as nervous anymore now that she was able to serve a customer well. When evening rolled in, several couples came in. Thankfully, their orders were her specialties so she didn't panic and didn't keep the customers waiting.

It was a weekday so she had about less than ten customers that day.

Around ten, Amelia had just finished cleaning and was getting ready to leave. The minute she locked the door, her phone buzzed.

It was a message from an unsaved number. The message however did introduce Shelly as the sender. Shelly was asking if she was free the following day and if she could meet up with Amelia.

Amelia wanted to come home first before she replied. However, just as she was crossing the road, her phone started ringing.

Although she hesitated for a while, she still answered the call. She braced herself for the worst—whenever Shelly called, it always seemed to be an unpleasant experience for her.

"Come on, sister-in-law. Why do you do that? Why aren't you replying to my message?" Shelly complained on the other end of the line.

Amelia felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing Shelly refer to her as sister-in-law. After a pause, she replied, "I was on my way home so I didn't notice that someone had messaged me."

"Oh, I see. I thought you were just a coward." Shelly raised her voice. Then she continued, "Lucian and I have fixed things. He was very gentle with me last night. I'm calling to thank you for what you said to me last time. Since then, his attitude towards me has changed."

Shelly was trying to sound as if she was just grateful for Amelia but the haughty tone in her voice was difficult to miss.

Amelia froze upon hearing this. She stood at a corner, feeling as if her heart had just been ripped out of her chest.

Heartbroken, she took a deep breath before replying in a calm voice, "That's great. Congratulations."

"Thank you! But why do you sound so angry?" Shelly said casually on the phone.

"Miss Shelly, I do not sound angry. I'm completely calm. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone now." Despite the pain in her heart, she still spoke as calmly as she could. The bus had long left at this point and she thought it would be a waste to take a cab. She was finding it difficult to breathe now.

"I don't care whether you love Lucian or not. I just want to remind you that I'm his wife now and it's absolutely wrong to destroy a marriage," Shelly said harshly. Then without waiting for Amelia to respond, she added, "It won't be long before Lucian and I start a family. Once the baby is born, Lucian and I will live happily ever after. So you better stay far away. My elder brother may be a little boring but he's very good to women. I hope you two get married soon. “

Amelia opened her mouth but nothing came out.

It wasn't until Shelly hung up that she got on her knees, her chest heaving as she couldn't breathe.

She thought that as time went by, she would eventually get used to life without Lucian and accept that Lucian was with Shelly now. But after hearing what Shelly said, she felt as if her heart was twisting in pain.

Putting a hand over her stomach, she couldn't help but feel upset especially when Shelly mentioned that she and Lucian were starting a family soon.

As much as she didn't want to cry, tears kept falling from her eyes and she couldn't help it.

After letting herself crying for a while, she eventually got up, ready to go home. However, suddenly, she felt a pair of hands lift her up from behind—a sense of warmth coming over her.

Before she could raise her head to see who it was, she heard a soothing, male voice. "You're a mother now. You shouldn't be crying. It's not good for the baby."

It was Jonny...

Amelia then burst into tears. "Jonny... I... Can I lean against your shoulders?"

As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy. After crying for a long time, she didn't have the strength to be sad anymore.
