Addicted To Love - Chapter 275 I Didn't Really Mean It

Instead of continuing with what he started, Darren trashed his original plan.

On the way to SJ Garden, thunder growled like a hungry giant in the distance. Heavy rain was deciding the right time to fall to the ground, still tempting the earth’s inhabitants.

The windshield was like a girl who had just become single again, but it wasn’t her choice. The rain droplets, like her teardrops, needed to be constantly wiped away by the window wipers.

Once she arrived to the estate’s gate, Amelia who was inside the car, gave Lily a call.

Lily answered the phone, but Amelia could hear Fannie’s piercing voice in the background. “What type of careless servant would answer the phone without even making breakfast first?”

“Mrs. Amelia…” Lily bravely focused on her phone call, despite Fannie’s insult.

Amelia’s heart fell in her chest, she knew how difficult Fannie could be.

On the phone, Amelia heard footsteps approach, and then there was a scuffle. That same, sharp voice, now a lot more clearer, asked, “You want to see Mark, don’t you? Let me tell you something, as long as I’m here in the land of the living, Mark’s ours. Do you understand?”

The line cut off, Amelia wasn’t even given the chance to respond.

Amelia was angered for no reason. Her heart was full of rage.

She knew Fannie never liked her, but Amelia decided to not just swallow her resentment in matters of Mark.

There wasn’t a spare umbrella in the car, so Amelia got soaked, again. Her cold fingers rang the doorbell from outside the gate, her heart was beating fast from adrenaline, anger and the cold.

When Lily opened the door, she saw Amelia standing outside the gate looking like a wet house cat. Lily gasped, and rushed back insid

from her and go tend to him. So, I lost control and pushed her away. Her head hit the corner of the table, and she began to bleed…”

Lily described the episode and started crying in fear. She really didn’t mean to hurt the old woman. But, she had no choice.

Amelia understood Fannie, so she believed that Lily was telling the truth. She reached out to Lily to hug and comfort her, “My dear girl. Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you.”

When they were on the hospital rooftop last time, Amelia didn’t have the intention to fight back either. She did respect Fannie as she was her husband’s mother. However, Fannie’s nasty words and behavior had the unique ability to push someone to their absolute limit, she ended up pushing Fannie down as well…

So, she completely understood why Lily behaved in the way she did. Amelia thought that Lily’s actions were perfectly reasonable.

Being with her son and Lily in the bedroom, Amelia felt warm inside. She quickly polished off the ginger soup that Lily had prepared for her. “Thank you Lily. I’m so lucky to have you by my side. I couldn’t have been more worried every time I think about Mark.”

Missing a son was the most difficult thing for a mother to experience, but she felt much better with Lily’s help and care.

“Mrs. Amelia, what exactly happened between you and Mr. Lucian? Why have you two drifted apart?” Lily had witnessed the lack of affection the couple shared recently.

Amelia didn’t really want to talk about this sensitive issue. But, she knew that Lily didn’t mean to pry but it was a true concern to her.

But, Amelia couldn’t think of an adequate response to that question. In fact, she was trying to figure out an answer herself for the past few days.
