Chapter 52 Having Fun On The New Year''s Eve


    "Are you really showing consideration for your husband?" Lucian couldn''t help but smile at how she


    hastily exined everything before he''d even asked.


    He had been so busy these past few days that the holiday had slipped his mind.


    "That''s not it!" she denied.


    She really wasn''t in the mood to go to the Mo mansion because she didn''t want to see Ynda and


    Jasper.


    Upon noticing the frown on her face, Lucian already knew what was going on.


    He put theputer aside and walked over to her side, whispering, "I''ll go with you tomorrow."


    "Okay." Amelia raised her head and smiled.


    He walked over to the window so he could call Eric and give him a few reminders. Then he walked


    back to where Amelia was and said, "Do you want to spend the New Year''s Eve with me tonight?"


    Amelia was watching the New Year''s G with great interest. When she heard Lucian, she looked at


    him and asked curiously, "How?"


    Lucian didn''t know what to respond.


    He pulled Amelia up and ordered, "Put on your shoes and let''s go out."


    Amelia couldn''t resist. She followed Lucian''s orders as he was going to apany her to the Mo


    mansion tomorrow after all and she had to return the favor.


    "Why don''t you wear the clothes I bought for you?" Lucian asked, frowning, upon noticing how inly


    Amelia was dressed.


    Amelia was tall and slender and she preferred to dress as ordinarily as she could.


    "The clothes you bought are too expensive..." she said slowly.


    "Well, now I know what it means to be so bizarre." Lucian shook his head, looking helpless. On the


    inside, he was amused.


    Amelia worried that she was dressed inappropriately. Looking down at her clothes, she said in a low


    voice, "The long, red, cotton coat, jeans, ts boots. They''re all very nice...


    I like wearing red especially that we''re celebrating the new year tomorrow."


    "I didn''t say it''s not beautiful. I just wanted to see you wear the clothes I bought for you," Lucian said,


    raising his eyebrows.


    "I''m not your property. Why should I wear the clothes for you?" Amelia replied arrogantly then she


    added, "A confident woman is the most beautiful woman."


    Still amused, Lucian slowed down and gazed at Amelia tenderly. "I wish you were mine though."


    Lucian spoke in a low voice and his eyes were full of affection as he looked at Amelia.


    Amelia blushed and quickly turned to the window, pretending to be engrossed in the night scenery.


    The atmosphere of the new year''s eve was extraordinarily festive and beautiful. The trees on both


    sides of the road were glinting, lighting up the night in a lovely way.


    The square was swarming with people as loud music yed. What was supposed to be a quiet night


    turned into a lively one that made everyone forget about the cold.


    Lucian didn''t stop the car until they arrived at the seaside. The beautiful night scene made Amelia feel


    warm despite the chilly weather. She looked surprised as well.


    She grew up in the city but she had never seen the bustling night scene of the Wild Fox Ind in the


    city in person. At that moment, she was so happy that she felt as if even her heart was smiling with her.

    "Come and sit here." Lucian took Amelia''s hand and led her to the chair covered with the nket. After


    she sat down, he took off his coat and said apologetically, "I forgot to remind you to wear more clothes


    because it''s cold out here."


    Inhaling the scent of the sea and feeling the cold breeze, Amelia felt warm on the inside. Lucian''s voice


    made her feel as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest.


    She frowned and tried to take off Lucian''s coat and return it to him but he stopped her.


    "Put it on. You might catch a cold," Amelia said worriedly.


    "I''m fine, Amelia," he said casually. "If you take it off, I''ll throw it out to the sea so we can catch a cold


    together."


    ''When did he be so... unreasonable?'' Amelia thought to herself.


    "Alright, alright. I''ll put it on. I don''t want such an expensive coat to go to waste," she said, her voice


    dripping with sarcasm.


    A satisfied smile appeared on Lucian''s face. Then he pointed at the brilliantly illuminated spot not far


    away. "Do you know what that sculpture is?"


    Amelia shook her head. When she thought of the name of the ind, she guessed, "Well, this ce is


    called the Wild Fox Ind. Did foxes live here before?"


    "Not exactly." Lucian shook his head as he kept his eyes on the sculpture from the distance. He


    exined smoothly, "They said that a long time ago, fishermen lived here. They fished for a living and


    lived a quiet and peaceful life. Suddenly, a fox escaped from the mountain. The people didn''t know


    what to do with it so they locked it in a cage. One day, a boy saw the fox in the cage. He decided to set


    the fox free. This caused the fishermen to get angry. As his punishment, they drove him out to the


    woods, exiling him..."


    "What happened to the boy?" Amelia asked when Lucian suddenly stopped.


    Smiling, Lucian stood up and took Amelia''s hand. He pointed to a lit up road and said, "This is called


    the lover''s road. They say that couples who walk down this road fall in love and live happily ever after.


    Come on, let''s go for a walk."


    "Lover''s road?" She''d heard of this way back when she was still with Jasper. She had always wanted to


    go but before they could, they''d already broken up.


    When he saw that she looked sad and dejected, he thought that she didn''t want to go with him. Not


    wanting to force her, he decided to continue his story.


    "Why is your hand so cold?" Noticing the coldness in her fingers, Lucian held her hand tighter.


    "Oh, I''ve always been like this." She withdrew her hand awkwardly, her face blushing.


    Back when she was still in school, Courtney would alwaysment how cold her hands were and how


    she would use them to cool off during the summer.


    "Anyway, the boy..."


    "I thought we were going for a walk?" Amelia suddenly interrupted Lucian, her heart beating fast.


    Lucian was a little surprised but he quickly recovered as usual. His heart fluttered in joy.


    "My hands are warmer," he said gently as he held her hand again.


    Amelia didn''t refuse. When Lucian interlocked his hands with hers, she felt as if her heart beat was


    pulsing in her ears.


    It didn''t take long for them to finish their walk as the road wasn''t very long. Amelia felt so nervous the


    entire time. All she could think of was how secure she felt with Lucian right next to her.


    Hand in hand, they prolonged their walk by going back and forth the road. Every now and then, they


    would share a fond look.


    Lucian purposely left his story unfinished as the ending was a tragedy and he didn''t want to dampen


    their mood. He finished with the suspense, leaving Amelia toe up with the ending that she wanted.


    It was such a cold winter and Amelia felt so grateful that she had Lucian by her side who was willing to


    protect her and even give her his coat.


    "Are we going back early in the morning?" As they stood on the beach, she could smell the salty water


    and feel the cold wind blow on her body.


    Lucian was only wearing a cored shirt because he had taken off his coat. Although he imed that


    the shirt was quite thick, it was still very cold outside. Amelia felt guilty hogging his coat thus leaving


    him to feel the harsh cold of the winter.


    "Yes, what''s wrong?" He thought Amelia was bored already.


    "Don''t you feel cold?" Amelia asked in a soft voice, her eyes full of concern.


    Lucian immediately understood what she meant. He shook his head, smiling. "I''m fine. I''m not cold


    anymore."


    "I don''t believe you!" Amelia gave him a hard look and looked around. Then she pointed at a yacht and


    said, "Let''s go there. I bet it''s warmer there."


    "Okay." He smiled.


    Rarely did Amelia look out for him and he wanted to savor the moment.


    She thought that they would have the yacht to themselves. However, when they arrived inside, they


    saw how many tourists were inside. They were enjoying the view, most of which were couples.


    "Hmm. Let''s go?" Lucian liked the quietness. He thought he could just rent another yacht so they could


    have some privacy.


    However, Amelia shook her head, reluctant to leave.


    Lucian merely agreed and quickly found a ce to sit for both of them.


    "It''s warmer here, right?" Amelia shed him a huge grin.


    Lucian nodded. It seemed as if his mind was elsewhere.


    They were surrounded by couples who danced happily on the yacht. There were also a few single


    young men who seemed to be in high spirits. When they caught sight of Amelia and Lucian sitting in


    the corner by themselves, they approached the two and said excitedly, "It''s new year''s eve! Come on,


    let''s have fun and dance the night away!"


    They were already being a bit pushy as they tried to pull Amelia up. Lucian wasn''t able to restrain


    himself. He quicklynded a punch across their face when they tried to touch her.


    One of the men was knocked over. Hispanions rushed over to him and cursed at Lucian.


    "Stop it!" Amelia cried.


    This incident scared the couples away that they immediately left the yacht.


    It was four against one and Lucian didn''t stand a chance. Soon, he had been knocked over. Amelia


    was so scared that she felt as if her heart was going to jump out of her chest.


    She screamed and cried for help but nobody responded. The sound of firecrackers was too


    overpowering for anyone to hear them while the others just didn''t want to be involved.


    Despite being knocked over, Lucian still got up and kicked one of the men in the crotch. The man


    screamed in pain. Lucian looked like a martial artist with his swift and smooth movements. At that point,


    he looked more handsome than ever.


    Amelia immediately walked over to Lucian and said, frightened, "Let''s get out of here!"


    "You want to leave? No way!" However, they were approached by the group of men once again. They


    stopped Amelia first then Lucian. One of them said angrily, "What a shame. We thought you were a


    decent man. Turns out you''re not! We just wanted to invite you guys to dance. Why would you


    suddenly start a fight?"
