Addicted To Love - Chapter 305 Shocking News
The villa Fannie was brought to was located at the south of the city, in close proximity to Jonny’s villa. That was one of the things Amelia observed as she followed Lucian and Fannie on their way there.
Since Lucian had never spoken to her about it, Amelia didn’t even have a chance to voice out her opinion on it.
In any case, there was nothing between Jonny and Fannie to be worried about as they weren’t even living under the same roof.
“Dad is worried that you aren’t used to living alone, so he has sent two servants to help you. There will be one to help you with your health and daily tasks, and the other so you can have someone to chat with during your stay,” Amelia said as she took Fannie’s arm while they walked towards the two servants.
Fannie reluctantly gave off a smile and said, “For the first time I know how considerate he is after having been lived with him for over a decade.”
“He also said that if there is anything that you need, please don’t hesitate to ask him. Of course, you can also ask both me and Lucian as well.” Despite knowing that it was somewhat inappropriate to even talk about Nicholas at this point, Amelia also had to face the situation and just say it. She had to do this so she could alleviate Nicholas’ worries towards Fannie.
“Huh! I wonder what else is missing…” Fannie scoffed with eyes clearly filled with sorrow.
Amelia was aware that no matter how much Nicholas tried to make up for all the pain he had caused Fannie, nothing would ever fully compensate her suffering.
She would never be able to comprehend how much courage Fannie had to muster up to make the decision of getting a divorce from Nicholas. However, she could not understand why a divorce was even necessary since Fannie had just moved out.
“Your father did it on purpose.” Fannie took a deep breath with a soft glimmer of sadness in her eyes.
Amelia opted not to say anything else to avoid causing more pain, and just helped Fannie tidy up her room.
“Amelia, you should just get some rest and let the servants handle this.” Fannie was quite satisfied to
er back to him, he asked, “Would you be able to keep this a secret from Lucian in the meantime?”
Amelia’s sharp eyes stared at him with utter disappointment before she took a deep sigh of exasperation. She said, “Up until now, you have done nothing but choose the interest of the Zhan Group over everything else!”
“I’m sorry, but you are far too young to understand these things. Not only is the Zhan Group a result of my lifelong efforts, but it is also the honor of the Zhan family. Could you at least try to understand why I would go through such lengths to protect it?” Despite Nicholas’ guilt towards the situation, he believed it was a reasonable request to ask for.
“The feud between you and the An family is none of my concern. If you make decisions that would hurt Lucian, however, the blood relationship between the two of us will be completely irrelevant to me.” Amelia expressed her true feelings.
“Edmund has always been a cunning and clever man. If he finds out that Lucian is truly his son, I know he would find a way to manipulate him into inheriting the Zhan Group and turn it into his own…” Nicholas was clearly anxious and agitated when he spoke, and he couldn’t even finish his sentence.
“Do you really think that Lucian is that foolish? From all the degrading things I had just heard from you, I realize now that Lucian’s coldness towards you had been reasonable all along. Fannie also must have known about your insensitivity for her to want to get a divorce from you.” Amelia’s face seemed unsettled while her tone had gotten even more indignant.
By that point, Nicholas was rendered speechless. His horrified look was followed by an embarrassment and even bitterness in his eyes.
“Paper can’t wrap up a fire. Eventually, Lucian will find out the truth. I advise you not only think about the interests of the Zhan family, but to also think about your relationship with Lucian as father and son.” Amelia warned him before she turned her head and walked out of the study.
Nicholas’ pupils started to dilate, as worry started to overwhelm his mind and soul.
