Chapter 132 Amelia Could Not Be More Emotional

Hearing the coldness in her tone, Courtney thought that Amelia was angry with her for leaving without saying goodbye so she tried her best to coax her over the phone, "Honey, I'm sorry. I know it's my fault but don't worry, I'll be home early so I can accompany you."

Perhaps it was because she was so preoccupied in her own thoughts coupled with her misery but sullenly, she responded, "I don't need company."

Amelia wasn't childish by any standard. Sometimes, she would snap but she rarely ever lashed out. So upon hearing Amelia's ungratefulness, Courtney grew furious. She roared, "Amelia, what is it with you today? You're being so annoying! Where the hell are you anyway? I'll go where you are so I can apologize to you!"

Upon hearing this, Amelia felt a little hope arise in her heart. She asked tentatively, "Courtney, if you come here, can you take me with you?"

"Sure, just give me the address," Courtney replied bluntly.

After giving Courtney the address, Amelia was in a much better mood now. Standing in front of the French window, she patiently waited for Courtney.

When Courtney finally arrived, Amelia was surprised to see that not only did she not come alone but she also rode with Lucian to come here!

"I thought you were..." Amelia's voice trailed off. She thought Courtney was picking her up. She wondered why Courtney would come here with Lucian. However, she decided to not say anything upon glancing at him.

"Amelia, Lucian asked me to come and live with you." Courtney was very enthusiastic. She took Amelia's hand and walked into the villa. In amazement, Courtney scanned the villa as she commented,

"Just half of this place is already bigger than my entire house! How rich are you, Mr. Lucian?"

Lucian merely chuckled, stealing a glance at Amelia every now and then. He could tell how displeased she was about the entire situation.

As Courtney continued to look around the villa, Amelia asked Lucian in a cold voice, "I heard Miss Shelly's in the hospital?"

Lucian frowned at the tone of Amelia's question. He felt a slight twinge in his heart as he pressed his lips together, not saying a word.

Amelia thought he wasn't responding out of guilt so she added rather snidely, "Courtney's here which means I can leave now."

She couldn't quite put her finger on it but she felt as if she was going to explode any minute now. It was as if she had been repressing all these simmering feelings for so long and it was just seeping out now. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The tartness in her tone and the anger in her eyes were a result of built-up emotions.

Lucian kept his gaze on her for what seemed like the longest second before finally agreeing, "Well, if you're still not used to being here, I can move you somewhere else but I can only do it later this week." Lucian figured that by then, he would have settled everything already which meant Amelia could come home with him already. There was no need to put more distance between them.

Nonetheless, he wholeheartedly understood why Amelia was mad.

Lucian was basically saying that she still had to stay here for the entire week. She didn't know why he insisted on her living here but it made her uncomfortable. The longer she stayed here, the more she felt uneasy.

"Lucian, I'm not a kid anymore!" she protested. Why couldn't she decide on her own? She had her own thoughts and feelings that rightfully deserved to be heard too.

At this moment, she was blinded by her anger that she wasn't able to control her voice.

Courtney, who was initially busy looking around, immediately heard Amelia's raised voice. In response, she hurriedly ran downstairs and asked in confusion, "Amelia? What's wrong? Why are you yelling at Lucian?"

Courtney couldn't understand why Amelia would get mad at Lucian.

"I was forced to be here and it's not like I could do anything because he's rich and powerful! Do I not have the right to be mad at that?" Amelia knew she was making a mountain out of a molehill but all she really cared about at that point was leaving that villa right away. She didn't want to be the cause of any misunderstandings between Lucian and Shelly.

Shelly was in the hospital because of this and Amelia's guilt was already eating her away.

Suddenly, Lucian's eyes dimmed as he shifted to his usual indifferent demeanor. He then shifted his gaze on Amelia as he opened his mouth. In a voice as clear as day, he spoke, "I need you to listen to me right now no matter what you're feeling."

His tone was stern and his voice indicated that he was not leaving this up for discussion.

Amelia couldn't help but sneer. 'Wasn't this always the case?' she thought. Even though Lucian had his fair share of sweet moments, it never really lasted. Once she pissed him off, there was no turning back.

Courtney couldn't help but feel a bit awkward and partly scared upon noticing the grim looks on both Amelia and Lucian's faces. Hesitantly, she chimed in, "I thought you two were crazy about each other? Calm down."

Amelia glared at Courtney and said coldly, "If you're not leaving then I am!"

"Amelia, what are you doing?" Courtney grabbed her arm as she said seriously, "I told my parents that I was living with you at home and now you're leaving? Where are we going to end up then?"

"This is not my home!" she said icily, looking sullen.

Courtney cowered in the face of an angry Amelia. She quickly glanced at Lucian before returning her gaze at Amelia. Looking at Amelia softly, she said, "This may not be your home but it's Lucian's and he's the father of the baby. You shouldn't get mad at him."

Surprisingly, Amelia only grew more furious. She didn't know if it was Courtney's words or if it was just the fact that she was taking Lucian's side.

"This baby is mine. He doesn't have to be involved. If you want to stay here then stay! But I'm leaving!" As Amelia spoke, she failed to notice the angry look on Lucian's face.

Despite this, Lucian still couldn't stand the idea of leaving her and their baby behind.

"Courtney, stay with Amelia. I'll be back in a couple of days," Lucian instructed in a cold voice.

"Lucian, don't worry. I will take good care of her," Courtney agreed without hesitation.

Mouth agape, Amelia couldn't believe what was happening. She was so angry that she was unable to say a word.

As she watched Lucian walk away, she angrily followed him. She bellowed, "Really? You're just going to leave like that?!"

Amelia couldn't believe how unfair Lucian was being to Shelly who was in the hospital right now. The thought of this made her so upset.

"Amelia, stop acting like a hero. Why do you do that? Why do you think you're such a hero? What about you would make you a hero in the first place?" Lucian narrowed his eyes, his eyes gleaming sharply as he kept his gaze fixed on Amelia.

As much as he hated saying all of these to her, he disliked even more how she was prioritizing other people's feelings over his.

Amelia just wanted Lucian to be responsible and fulfill his role as Shelly's husband. However, how could she make him understand that? Lucian didn't love Shelly. He loved her—Amelia. He wanted to be with her and their unborn child.

Stunned, tears had started welling up under Amelia's eyes.

She couldn't tell if what was bothering her were Lucian's words or their current situation.

"Don't be upset anymore. Lucian did this to protect you and your baby. Please don't blame him," Courtney said soothingly. She had walked towards where Amelia was after Lucian had left, taking her hand as a way to comfort her.

"Courtney, do you really think I should stay here?" She shouldn't be involved with a married man like Lucian in the first place.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt her heart twisting in pain and confusion.

"Did you forget how painful it was for him when you suddenly divorced him? You didn't even say goodbye to him. He's still in love with you..." Courtney knew that Amelia was soft hearted and she only did that for Lucian's sake. However, upsetting Amelia was the last thing she wanted. After all, Lucian would definitely make up with Amelia later that week.

"So what should I do?" Amelia blurted out as tears streamed down her face.

Courtney grabbed a tissue to wipe the tears off Amelia's face. She comforted her, "Well, Lucian said we can leave after a week. Let's just wait for that."

Amelia knew that nothing could change his mind so she just bit her lips and didn't say anything more.

As soon as Lucian left the villa, he immediately got in his car.

He thought back to the last words he'd said to Amelia, a mixture of feelings surging in his heart. He hated talking to her like that as he felt that it hurt him even more than it did her.

Just then, he received a call from the hospital telling him that he needed to be there as soon as Shelly woke up.

The An Group was a mess. Edmund and Jonny were in a power struggle over the An Group. Meanwhile, Lucian was just waiting for the right time to attack and weaken Edmund's power so he could finally terminate his marriage with Shelly.

Shelly was confined in the biggest hospital in the city. As she lay in her bed, she looked out the window, her eyes blank. When she heard about what was going on in the An Group, sadness immediately filled her.

She was the one who had offered help to the Zhan Group when they fell into a crisis. Their agreement was that if Lucian married her, the An Group would help the Zhan Group through their crisis. However, with the way things were going, Lucian would hate her more let alone fall in love with her.

"Shelly, I cooked some porridge for you. You need to eat something since you just woke up," Emma gently said as she made her way to Shelly's bed.

Shelly cast a hateful look at her and accused, "I bet your son garnered a lot of your support for what he did, huh?"

As soon as she woke up, the first thing she did was call Edmund. Even though the person she really wanted to see first was Lucian, she knew that the person who was going to listen to her was Edmund. Despite everything, the person she still trusted the most was him.
