Addicted To Love - Chapter 296 We Have Been Married For Years

Amelia shook her head, and with a subtle unobtrusive voice she said, “It’s nothing. I was just trying to rule out the possibility, but it seems as though I’ve made a mistake.”

She released a deep sigh. The thought of Lucian taking Fannie’s side over hers, was something that made her feel a kind of resentment that she couldn’t put aside.

When Nicholas observed that she wasn’t looking well, he asked, “Did you have a fight with Lucian?”

The moment that she heard his name, her expression turned glum and she murmured, “He’s downstairs.”

Her voice had faint remnants of displeasure that came out without a conscious thought.

Nicholas could easily take the hint as to why Amelia was unhappy and he gave her a reassuring smile. “You’re a couple, and fights will sometimes be unavoidable. Don’t forget that.”

Amelia’s lips puckered together in response, finding it hard to suppress her agitation towards the situation.

She reminisced on the earlier portions of her relationship with Lucian, when he’d always spoken out to defend her no matter what. However, since he learned of her real relationship with his father, he had gotten much more sensitive towards a lot of things.

“Please, father. Don’t worry yourself about this and just promise me you’ll take care of yourself.” Amelia chose to shake away her troubles and shifted her attention to comforting Nicholas instead.

“I hope you can try to put your mind away from those questions you had earlier and don’t let it bother you anymore. Let bygones be bygones, there are other things to look forward to,” said Nicolas, as he looked towards Amelia in complete earnestness.

Amelia pouted her lips while she folded her arms. Despite what Nicholas said, she still felt wronged. “I don’t mean to hold grudges, but Lucian just simply misunderstood me. It angers me to think that he wouldn’t even give me the chance to explain!”

to the palm of her hands. She stood there with eyes blazing with wrath.

“And why wouldn’t you blame him?!” Amelia only assumed that Lucian had stopped her on purpose when they were on the stairs just to distract her. If he really had genuine concern for his father, he would have rushed towards him as soon as possible.

What Fannie had done towards Nicholas could have been avoided if he didn’t carry her all the way to their bedroom.

After she tried to break down everything that had just happened, Amelia glared at Lucian with suspicion and was suddenly frightened of him.

When Lucian noticed the strange look in her eyes, he was completely perplexed. “Amelia, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Oh dear, stop pretending!” Amelia quickly assumed that Lucian was holding a grudge against Nicholas after everything had been revealed. She thought that he was unwilling to call him his father for those reasons.

“Pretend…?” Lucian muttered as his eyes narrowed with a stone cold expression. He was completely puzzled as to why Amelia was looking at him with so much suspicion and said, “My mother was never a rational person, but I hoped that you can at least be one!”

However, what Lucian had said not only caused Amelia to be more furious, it also presented him in a bad light.

“Well, what a surprise. When your mother says something wrong, you ask me to respect her. However, when I say something wrong, you tell me I am just as irrational as your mother. So tell me, whose side are you really on?” She really did not want to have to say these things in front of Nicholas, but what Lucian said offended her so much that she couldn’t help but express her disbelief towards his hypocritical statements.

Lucian’s eyebrows furrowed even more deeply. He never meant to criticize Amelia earlier. He just wanted to find a way to resolve the issues between Amelia and Fannie.”
