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 apany you."
Perhaps it was because she was so preupied in her own thoughts coupled with her misery but
sullenly, she responded, "I don''t needpany."
Amelia wasn''t childish by any standard. Sometimes, she would snap but she rarely evershed 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 note alone but
she also rode with Lucian toe here!
"I thought you were..." Amelia''s voice trailed off. She thought Courtney was picking her up. She
wondered why Courtney woulde here with Lucian. However, she decided to not say anything upon
ncing at him.
"Amelia, Lucian asked me toe and live with you." Courtney was very enthusiastic. She took
Amelia''s hand and walked into the vi. In amazement, Courtney scanned the vi as shemented,
"Just half of this ce is already bigger than my entire house! How rich are you, Mr. Lucian?"
Lucian merely chuckled, stealing a nce at Amelia every now and then. He could tell how displeased
she was about the entire situation.
As Courtney continued to look around the vi, 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.
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 itter this week."
Lucian figured that by then, he would have settled everything already which meant Amelia coulde
home with him already. There was no need to put more distance between them.
Nheless, 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 ufortable. 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 vi 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 reallysted. 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 red 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 nced 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 ce?" 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 me him,"
Courtney said soothingly. She had walked towards where Amelia was after Lucian had left, taking her
hand as a way tofort her.
"Courtney, do you really think I should stay here?" She shouldn''t be involved with a married man like
Lucian in the first ce.
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 thest thing she wanted. After all, Lucian
would definitely make up with Ameliater 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. Sheforted 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 vi, he immediately got in his car.
He thought back to thest 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 shey in her bed, she looked out the window,
her eyes nk. 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 used, "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.
