Addicted To Love - Chapter 321 Nicholas' Doubts

Amelia looked up and smiled, “Let Lucian do his work. I’ll prepare dinner for him at home.”

Eric understood that it was a lame excuse and nodded his head in agreement.

He then watched as Amelia got into the elevator until the doors closed. He then walked over to the CEO’s office and knocked on the door and went in.

Lucian was occupied in reading the documents on his desk when Eric came in. He was unusually busy, so Eric thought twice before calling his attention. “What took you so long?”

Lucian asked flatly. He had finished most of the documents that he had to read while he waited.

The question of Lucian caught Eric by surprise. He was at a loss of whether he should tell Lucian that Amelia was there or not. Because of this, he was unable to immediately reply to Lucian.

“Eric, what’s wrong?” Lucian asked when he noticed that Eric was perplexed and was not able to answer immediately, and this was so unusual in Eric.

Eric approached Lucian and handed over the documents that he required. “Mrs. Amelia was just here to see you,” he reported in a brisk tone.

A look of surprise took over Lucian’s face. He got up from his chair as he turned expectantly at the door. “Where is she now?” he asked Eric with wide open eyes.

“I’m sorry Mr. Lucian,” Eric said as he scratched the back of his head. In his mind, he knew that it was his fault that Lucian was not able to see Amelia. “I said that you were working on a lot of documents,” he continued. “Mrs. Amelia then said the she will just go back home, cook dinner for you and then wait for you to get back home.”

Lucian slowly got back to his chair and lowered his head. After a brief moment, he looked up and asked, “How long has she been gone?”

Eric gave it some thought and made an estimate. “She is probably at the ground floor by now.”

“Read through the rest of the documents and report the key points to me,” Lucian said as he hurriedly grabbed his coat and ran to the elevator.

When the elevator reac

ed him with any suspicion, it would be a huge disservice to Lucian and the fruits of all his efforts.

“Lucian is a good person and it is fortunate that he didn’t inherit any of Edmund’s bad characteristics. This is why I have great hopes for him. However, I am afraid that there will come a time when the Zhan Group will no longer be around.” Since Amelia was Nicholas’ and Iris’ daughter, he was worried for her future and the future of his grandson, Mark.

Nicholas’ worries made Amelia speechless.

But all of safeguards that Nicholas had put into place made Lucian feel desperate.

“I respect you a lot, mostly because you’re Lucian’s father. But if you can’t trust Lucian, then I can’t respect you the same way anymore because Lucian is my husband. He’s your grandchild’s father.” Amelia felt like it was the last thing that she could possibly say to Nicholas to make him understand that there was no way or reason that she would be OK with Nicholas not trusting Lucian.

The Zhan Group may be strong as a company, but Lucian was still just Lucian. He was just one man who still had the needs that a normal man would need like people he could depend on.

And as his wife, Amelia felt ashamed that she could not do more to make everything easier for Lucian. To ease him of his burden.

“I understand that you and Lucian get along very well with each other. But you are a daughter of the Zhan family. You have to consider the Zhan family,” Nicholas explained. He had no choice but to use her blood connection to make her understand and see why he had to do the things that he did.

He was convinced that his words would help make Amelia understand everything about his decisions. But this was not the case.

After she heard Nicholas’ explanation that they connected with blood relations, Amelia felt a little disappointed. She immediately replied back to Nicholas without thinking about what she was about to say, “If blood ties can create distrust, should I still feel grateful?”
