Addicted To Love - Chapter 303 I Am Divorcing Your Father
Amelia happily texted back, saying that Lucian was making braised pork for her.
Amelia wasn’t really fond of meat, but to enjoy a meal prepared by Lucian was something she didn’t want to miss. In any case, she was slim, so the thought of eating some pork wouldn’t hurt her weight.
“How is it?” After placing the dish on the table, Lucian sat opposite to Amelia and waited for her to say something.
Amelia thought the man was being too self-confident. But after taking a bite, she relished the flavor that left her nodding in delight. She didn’t expect that Lucian could cook something as delicious as this.
“When did you learn how to cook?” Amelia was astonished. For Lucian to live a pampered and easy life, she slightly expected the man to come up with some bland cooking despite the effort. The dedication to learn these dishes really paid off for him.
Noticing the surprised look in Amelia’s eyes, Lucian smiled proudly and said, “You don’t need to say anything. The look on your face already gave it away.”
“What… I think it’s not bad…” Amelia saw a tiny smirk perking up on Lucian’s lips. She huffed, not liking the sight of the man’s confidence getting the best of him. So she straightened up on her seat, calmly took some bites of it, and started pretending to be unimpressed with the food.
“Alright. Well, I don’t want to force you so…” Lucian pretended to take away the braised pork in front of Amelia.
But Amelia moved quicker and protected her food with her slender arms. “Even if it’s not delicious, we shouldn’t be wasting it!” she reasoned with a pout.
Lucian was amused by her excuse. He sat back down and grinned. “You get more adorable when you try to use your charm on me. You know what? Let’s try it again!”
Amelia
twitch on her finger gave away her uneasiness over it.
She tucked her hair behind her ear to compose herself and muttered, “Lucian, if…” With a huge gulp, she looked at her husband and continued, “I mean, if dad and mom get divorced, will you be able to accept it..? Okay, wait! It’s not about you accepting it. I mean—” She stopped herself to bite her lip, trying to come up how to properly word her thoughts out. She took a deep breath and asked with final certainty, “Do you think it’s possible for them to call off their marriage?” Since Fannie trusted her with this, Amelia wanted to try her best to explain it properly to Lucian. But her mind was a mess, and so were her words.
Lucian’s eyes darkened, deep displeasure evident on his handsome features.
“Mom asked you to say this?” The tone of his voice was void of warmth.
Amelia nodded reluctantly. She then explained to Lucian, “She said that she had no feelings for father. If she continues to stay with him, she would lose her dignity…”
Lucian’s scowl grew deeper. Seeing this, Amelia dared not to continue. Her lips trembled in fright.
Since Lucian didn’t speak for a long time, Amelia didn’t dare to utter a single word either. The atmosphere in the room became heavy. It was almost suffocating.
“Leave it to me. I’ll handle it,” Lucian decisively spoke after a long deafening silence.
Amelia figured that Lucian finally thought it over. And she probably didn’t have a say about the matter anymore.
She could only hope for Fannie and Nicholas to live happily together.
But the next morning, the dining room was strained with a serious intensity of stillness.
Because Amelia didn’t expect that Lucian would bring up the issue and frankly ask about the matter to Nicholas.
