Addicted To Love - Chapter 320 She Wants To See Him But She Can't
“Yes, a married man like you is supposed to prioritize his family. You have to give most of your attention to them. Besides, someone like Amelia is difficult to find. Nowadays, kind and considerate women like her are rare.” Michael didn’t want to answer Amelia’s question on the phone just now.
Although he didn’t know what exactly happened between them, he could tell from Amelia’s anxious voice that something was wrong. He knew her. She was the type of person who would endure sadness on her own but don’t complain. He had really wanted to tell her the truth but Lucian forbade him.
“I’ll go now.” Lucian picked up his coat and was about to leave.
Michael was worried about him so he called his chauffeur. When the chauffeur came a few minutes later, he instructed him to take Lucian back to SJ Garden.
“Mr. Lucian, you… Are you all right?” Lily stammered as she greeted Lucian. She was so surprised to see her master looking terrible.
At that time, Amelia was in the middle of the stairs. She was carrying Mark in her arms. When she heard Lily’s nervous voice, she halted and looked at Lucian.
“Lucian…” Seeing that Lucian didn’t look good, Amelia ran downstairs in an instant. She had almost forgotten that Mark was still in her arms.
“Mom… Mom…” Perhaps Mark felt nervous when Amelia suddenly ran so he cried and shouted.
Luckily, Lily was a sharp-eyed woman so she immediately approached Amelia and took Mark from her arms. “Mrs. Amelia, let me hold the young master first so you can help Mr. Lucian,” she said.
With the help of the chauffeur, Amelia was able to bring the drunk Lucian into their bedroom upstairs. She suddenly felt exhausted because he was
always been calm, but now his voice raised a little.
Amelia blushed as she nodded to him. She felt guilty for showing up without prior notice. She hoped that Lucian hadn’t heard Eric’s voice from his office.
“Is Lucian busy now?” she asked gently.
“Mr. Lucian has been pretty busy these days,” Eric answered, a little embarrassed.
“Is the news report true?” Amelia couldn’t wait any longer so she decided to ask Eric curiously.
Eric frowned. He seemed to be in a dilemma. “Mrs. Amelia, please forgive me if I can’t answer your question. Mr. Lucian is very strict about this matter so we are not allowed to talk about it,” he said apologetically.
“It’s okay Eric. I totally understand,” she said with a smile. Obviously, Eric was a very loyal assistant to Lucian. Amelia had already known that he was always obedient to Lucian’s rules so she shouldn’t have asked.
Eric nodded and asked politely, “Would you like to see Mr. Lucian?”
“Is it okay to see him now?” Amelia was a little uncertain so she asked carefully.
“Mr. Lucian is busy now but I’m sure he will be very happy to see you.” Eric was about to knock on the door when he finished his words.
But what Eric had said melted the expectation in Amelia’s heart.
When Lucian saw her now, he would definitely frown.
“Mr. Eric, please continue with your work. No need to bother Lucian. I’ll just wait for him at home.” She gave Eric a shy smile. Since Lucian was very busy, her presence might just disturb him. He might not be happy to see her at all.
“Mrs. Amelia, are you sure you don’t want to go inside to see Mr. Lucian?” Eric was shocked. He couldn’t understand why Amelia had suddenly changed her mind.
