Addicted To Love - Chapter 315 The Gentle Look Of Lucian
Amelia was aware of Lucian’s coldness towards other people. When they met for the first time, her first impression of him was that he was a very cold person and that he was unapproachable.
“Amelia, I really don’t like living under someone else’s roof. But I appreciate your kindness,” Claire replied as she insisted on staying in a hotel. It was obvious that Amelia’s attempt at persuasion was ineffective.
But Amelia understood how she felt. After Iris’ death, she felt like an outsider even though she was a member of the Mo family. Sophia and her daughter’s entrance into the Mo family added to her feeling of alienation.
In the end, she felt no more than a fifth wheel. But her feelings had improved and were completely different from what they were before.
“I’ll try to find a better place for you to stay tomorrow,” Amelia added as she turned her car around to take her to the hotel that she stayed last night.
To set her mind at ease, she called the security officer and planned to leave Lucian’s name in case of any emergency.
The security officer was inattentive at first when he answered Amelia. But when she mentioned Lucian’s name and told him who she was, his manner quickly changed. He stood up in attention and this made him look like a soldier who was in the presence of the chief.
She felt very pleased as she left the hotel. ‘I never expected to gain respect everywhere because just because I am Lucian’s wife,’ she thought to herself with a satisfied smile.
When she completed dealing with Claire’s issue, Amelia was ready to drive back to the SJ Garden.
It was late in the afternoon and the street lights on both sides of the road were lit. They gave out a pale ghostly light against the fading daylight.
The thought of Jonny’s face crossed her mind without warning and it immediate
next day, Lucian decided to bring Amelia to the hospital.
At first, Amelia didn’t want to go with him to the hospital. But Lucian insisted. She then begged again and again to no longer go to the hospital but finally gave in. Amelia had no choice but to go with Lucian.
“Are you afraid that my injuries will leave a scar and that it will make me ugly and then you will dislike me?” On their way back from the hospital, Amelia had several guesses regarding Lucian’s true reason for insisting on bringing her to the hospital.
But Lucian never really gave it much thought. He turned to her and then teased her. “Yes. And so don’t forget to take the medicine that the doctor gave you on time.”
“I never expected you to even say that! All men like beautiful women!” Amelia replied grumbling. Her lips pouted a little as she muttered.
A smile slowly crossed Lucian’s handsome face as he continued driving. His eyes glistened as he briefly glanced at Amelia and saw her pouting her lips.
“You know what, Lucian. I don’t think that you have an eye for true beauty. I’m just an average-looking woman. Why did you fall in love with me?” It was a question that Amelia had asked Lucian a hundred times before. And during each of those times, Lucian would patiently answer her. But Lucian did not answer her this time. Instead, he smiled at her without saying a word.
When she didn’t hear an answer from him, Amelia decided to just stop talking.
It was perhaps because of the medicine that Amelia took at the hospital that she suddenly felt sleepy. Lucian wasn’t talking so she probably became sleepy out of boredom.
When they arrived at the SJ Garden, Lucian carefully brought Amelia to the bed. The sight of her sleeping made him feel relieved.
He kissed her lightly on her forehead and was about to go downstairs.
