Addicted To Love - Chapter 276 You Are Really Pissing Me Off
“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, Mrs. Amelia. But I think, you can’t just put up with it anymore or else a new hostess will take your place here in SJ Garden.” Lily knew that what she had said would hurt Amelia. As much as possible, she didn’t want her master to suffer. However, when she thought of that ambitious Sasha who came to SJ Garden yesterday, she couldn’t help feeling angry.
Amelia could understand why Lily was so worried. Lucian had already given Sasha the permission to enter their villa yesterday. This little thing could progress and might end up Sasha taking over her place. Lily obviously didn’t like her to be her master.
“By the way, has Lucian left?” “Yes. I think he’s going to the hospital,” answered Lily with a nod.
Actually, Amelia was planning to take Mark away. She was just waiting for the perfect timing. Lily seemed to have read her mind so she said with a frown, “Mrs. Amelia, I actually don’t know the gate’s password. Mr. Lucian doesn’t want to give it to me. Maybe he’s thinking that I will tell it to you. He has been really cautious now.”
All of a sudden, Amelia felt hopeless.
“No wonder he let me stay,” she murmured. Lucian was not a fool. He probably knew all along that she wasn’t just simply visiting Mark.
He changed the password of the gate so she couldn’t leave. If she stayed inside the house while Lucian was gone, he could be rest assured that she couldn’t run away with Mark.
But Amelia wasn’t just giving up easily. She went out and tried all the passwords she could think. Lily tailed her. Unfortunately, none of them worked. Since she failed guessing the password, she needed to think of other ways.
“I think I’ll just climb the gate,” she suddenly exclaimed. The gate was made of iron bars so there were some gaps in between that she c
wouldn’t want to lose face in front of Lucian so she would gamble her safety.
He didn’t say anything. Instead, he scanned the gate with his eyes and studied its feature. He then adjusted his feet to balance between the gaps just like the way he did when he went up earlier. Afterwards, he stretched his arm and smiled to Amelia.
“Amelia, if you trust me, cling to my arm and pull your feet.”
Michael believed that as long as Amelia could free her feet from being stuck, going down would be easy for her. After all, she had successfully surpassed the most difficult part which were those sharp spikes on top of the gate.
Looking at Michael’s firm expression, Amelia chose to trust and believe him. Although she already felt so weak, she did her best to cling to his arm and kick with all her might.
The gate shook violently when she kicked. Fortunately, Michael was quick enough to grasp her hands firmly. Michael’s movement caused the gate to shake more, but then it slowly became stable again.
“My feet are free now. I can surely get down by myself,” said Amelia in a low voice. She sounded very happy.
Michael nodded with a smile. His eyes were shining brightly.
They then started to get down from the gate carefully.
The moment they landed on the ground, they felt elated. They were able to overcome such a difficult situation by helping each other. Amelia was so happy and excited that she suddenly threw herself into Michael’s arms without hesitations.
Although she failed to take Mark away, Amelia was still grateful that she was safe.
When Lucian saw Amelia hugged Michael, he felt a sharp pang in his heart. It was too painful that he almost couldn’t breathe. He couldn’t move and he even couldn’t make a sound.
On the other hand, Amelia’s unexpected hug made Michael crave for it more.
