Chapter 137 Where Is Happiness


    Courtney didn''t have the heart to say that it was Amelia who had signed the divorce agreement. Lucian


    would have had to deal with tough problems all by himself.


    "I know it in my heart. But I don''t want him and me to be looked down upon by others." What Lucian


    said was right. She had a heavy load in her mind. If that load did not disappear from her mind, she


    could not live peacefully with him. Any rtionship requires mental peace to survive.


    "Is it because of Shelly?" Courtney knew what kind of person Amelia was. She always thought for


    others and always felt bad for others. Amelia was a giver, not self-absorbed at all.


    "There is nothing wrong to love someone. Whatever Shelly has done, Lucian should not let her down.


    Even he has a part in all of this." Then Amelia went upstairs.


    "Your love is so heart-warming. I have to worship Buddha every day to atone my sins," Courtney sighed


    resignedly.


    Amelia didn''t understand what Courtney meant. After she went upstairs, she asked Courtney what she


    had tried to convey.


    Courtney was surprised by the question. She raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes widely and said,


    "Do you remember Melissa? Thedy with sleek long hair?"


    "Yes, I do." It was obvious that she remembered Melissa. After all, she had an episode in the love life of


    Courtney and Kent.


    She remembered that Melissa was pregnant and Kent was forced to marry her. It was an unpredictable


    event. But as adults they had to take a responsible decision to not harm the baby.


    This caught Amelia''s thought. She wondered why Kent had chosen to be with Courtney and let go of


    Melissa''s baby.


    "Don''t look at me in horror. I''m not that vicious." Noticing the change in Amelia''s expression, Courtney


    immediately exined, "Melissa pretended to be pregnant. But she didn''t expect that Kent would find


    out. All she wanted was me and Kent to break up. So that she can have him to herself."


    "So what does it have to do with Lucian? How is all of this connected?" Amelia''s heart twitched when


    she addressed him by his name.


    "Lucian was the reason why I made up with Kent," said Courtney. She was extremely grateful that


    Lucian helped her. Courtney smiled and said, "I''m not the kind of woman who will go back or hold to the


    old times. I rejected Kent when he tried to make up with me. He asked Lucian to tell me the truth. Then


    I gave him a chance to make up with me and fix our rtionship."


    "So you went on your honeymoon with Kent without telling me. I thought you were open to me." She


    was still indignant that Courtney had kept her in the dark.


    With a sly smile, Courtney exined to Amelia, "Lucian rmended to travel. He told me that there


    was still some misunderstandings between Kent and me. During the trip, we talked more freely to each


    other and sorted out all the issues. It seemed like his idea would help us fix everything. After the trip,


    I''m in a good rtionship with him again. We talked in person and discussed all possibilities. Can''t


    thank Lucian enough for this."


    Courtney happily narrated the details of the trip and their rtionship. But she didn''t notice the sadness


    on Amelia''s face in her excitement of exining the entire scenario.


    Lucian and Amelia still had feelings for each other. But they might not go back to the old days of being


    intimate.


    Jonny and Lucian sat face to face on the corner sofa in a quiet tea restaurant. With a joyful smile on his


    face, Jonny let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Things have finally beenpleted ording to the


    n. Now we can sleep well. Finally!" Then Jonny took a sip of tea leisurely after he was relieved that


    everything was sorted.


    Lucian was frowning since he entered the room, looking very morose. Noticing the displeasure on


    Lucian''s face, Jonny figured out what he was thinking about and asked, "Didn''t Amelia forgive you?"


    Somehow, Jonny felt a little bit joyful and couldn''t help wondering if he could get Amelia''s heart ahead


    of Lucian.


    But he became calm quickly after giving it a slight thought.


    "She thought I would let Shelly down by doing so. Well, I can''t read her mind," replied Lucian worriedly


    while sipping the hot tea.


    "Amelia always thought for others before herself. That''s what''s special about her. She is the most


    selfless human I have met," Jonny praised her with a smile.


    Lucian knew all about Amelia''s character and how much effort she took for others. But he was worried


    if it would make Ameliapromise for others.


    "Shelly shaped herself as a victim. The media put out false usations about Amelia and bad news


    came out of nowhere all across the papers. This deepened the misunderstanding between us. Amelia


    won''t believe me no matter how much I exin to her. She would only believe what she sees and


    hears," Lucian frowned. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to handle it. It seemed


    like an inseparable mix of problems.


    Lucian looked distressed when he spoke of his situation. Jonny took dark pleasure in his misfortune


    and said, "This woman is really troublesome. You got to handle this."


    Lucian pressed his lips and said nothing. His face looked solemn and he was out of words considering


    the turmoil.


    "Let me have a talk with Amelia. I hope it works out," suggested Jonny.


    Lucian became puzzled by the idea. But he thought that they might have known each other for a while


    and made up his mind to agree. He nodded and said, "Thank you!"


    "Hey, you just say thank you to me for Amelia." Jonny felt extremely strange. He smiled and said


    seriously, "I don''t want to be the CEO of the An Group any longer. When my father realizes his


    mistakes, I will return it to him. That''s the best I can do for now."


    Lucian knew that Jonny wanted to develop his own career path. He had always been strong headed


    when it came to excelling in his career and acquiring independence.


    "Anyway, try to be harmonious with your family. Your bond shouldn''t be affected by all of this," Lucian


    said with a slight smile.


    Lucian was figuring out things on his own while speaking to Jonny. Fannie was extremely angry at his


    decision while Nichs remained neutral. After Amelia forgave Lucian, he had to persuade Fannie and


    Nichs.


    Lucian received a call from Amelia when he was about to leave the cafe. He stared at her name on his


    phone with a happy smile.


    But he frowned unconsciously when he answered the phone.


    Jonny was watching this good y with great joy on his face while sitting opposite to him. He figured


    that Amelia was on call by seeing the expression on Lucian''s face.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    "It''s been one week. Time up! You must fulfill your promise!" Amelia said angrily. She couldn''t be all


    alone any longer.


    Lucian raised his eyebrows and answered her word by word patiently, "Of course! I will keep my


    promise. Please calm down. I''ll be right there."


    Lucian noticed the excitement on Jonny''s face when he was talking to Amelia. He made a sidelong


    nce at him and said, "You''re old enough to find a girlfriend."


    Suddenly, it clicked that his words would have hurt Jonny. But to his surprise, Jonny smiled proudly and


    said, "You''re always annoyed by love. I cannot stand that. So I give up that idea."


    "I used to be an envious pair with Amelia," Lucian returned reluctantly.


    A hint of pain shed in Jonny''s heart. But he didn''t change his expression. Instead he smiled and said,


    "Go ahead, this is a long battle. I''m on your side. Don''t lose her."


    Lucian was about to drive to the vi in the south of the city to visit Amelia. But on the other hand, he


    felt that his visit would only cause her to be more emotional and their rtionship would turn more


    complicated.


    The priority now was toplete the divorce procedure with Shelly and clear off the misunderstanding


    he held in Amelia''s heart. It was no longer possible to manage both the rtionships as it would only


    cause more problems.


    When Lucian arrived at the hospital, a nurse was cleaning up the ward and she informed that Shelly


    had already been discharged from the hospital before few hours.


    It waste summertime and the vi shone under the sunlight like a zing gem. The white gauze


    curtain moved with the breeze. Amelia stood in front of therge French window gluing her eyes to the


    gate, hoping to see Lucian. A week had passed and her mind was paranoid without getting out of the


    vi.


    Amelia kept waiting for Lucian''s arrival. But he hadn''t reached even after her standing near the window


    for two hours. Life seemed pointless to her.


    "Amelia, would you like toe over and have some water?" Seeing that she was standing near the


    window expecting Lucian, Courtney walked over and called her.


    Amelia shook her head and was disappointed that Lucian couldn''t match up to his promise. She


    remembered that he promised her over the phone that he woulde. But he didn''t keep his word.


    "In my opinion, you can live here. It is good that you can ess all facilities, good food and living


    condition. The scenery is very beautiful and you are anyways connected to nature. It is very suitable for


    a pregnant woman," said Courtney with an intention to persuade her.


    Amelia frowned tightly and shook her head without thinking after listening to Courtney.


    "Every second I stay here is a torture for me. I can''t do this anymore."


    She hated that she would be hesitant when she had to face Lucian. She wanted to distance herself


    from him. But she was extremely attracted to him and it was a tough choice.


    "But we can''t go out now?" Courtney threw up her hands resignedly.


    "You are totally on Lucian''s side now. If I want to leave, you won''t help me. Why can''t you try to


    understand my mental state?" Amelia pretended to be aggrieved.


    "The reason why I''m on his side is because I want you to be together again. I have only good


    intentions," Courtney exined patiently.


    Amelia just wanted to find a way to leave this ce.


    "It''s okay to live here. But I have to live as a normal person every day. I''m going shopping. Would you


    like toe along?"


    Amelia knew that Courtney''s favorite thing in the world was shopping. She tried to coax her in this way.


    Amelia had noticed Courtney''s obsession with luxe by seeing her attire and designer bags.


    "Shopping?" Courtney''s eyes obviously shone out of excitement. She grabbed Amelia''s arm excitedly.


    "Then let''s go to the door and say hey to the guards. I think we should definitely go."


    "Okay." Amelia nodded with relief.


    There were always some coincidences in the world. Just as they reached the gate, they saw a ck


    limo outside. They thought it would be Lucian as he promised toe. But it turned out to be Jonny.


    "Oh my God! He''s so handsome!" Courtney had seen Jonny before. He was dressed in sportswear and


    looked as warm as the sun. But he looked extremely cold when he took off his sunsses, as if nobody


    should approach him. Courtney couldn''t stop staring at him. She was enamored by his looks.


    He walked towards Amelia with a cold face as if he hade to report something important.


    "Hey, long time no see, Amelia. How are you doing?" Jonny greeted gently with a sweet smile.


    "Hey, you think I''m invisible?" Courtney said in an unconvinced tone. She was dissatisfied with the fact


    that there was only Amelia in Jonny''s eyes. Courtney wanted Jonny to notice her too.


    Jonny suddenly burst intoughter and greeted with a serious look, "Miss Courtney, long time no see.


    How are you doing?"


    "Wow, look at you. You are not the same person anymore!" Courtney smiled slightly. She pointed at


    Amelia and said to Jonny, "I have to call my boyfriend back. Take your time."


    Courtney knew that Jonny came there to talk with Amelia, so she left quietly. She figured that the


    matter was of much importance.


    Amelia opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But when she saw Jonny, she controlled her


    anger. As Amelia was a selfless person, she always had the difficulty to open up in such situations.


    Amelia was thinking in her head that she had finallye up with an idea to get out and now it wouldn''t


    happen as Jonny arrived.
