Since She Met Lucian

Were they going back to the SJ Garden? Amelia was fidgeting her fingers nervously.
She sat in Lucian's car and kept glancing at him from the corner of her eyes. Her thoughts returned to the old days when both of
them would go to work together.
"Why are you so nervous? You can lean back and relax." Lucian cast her worried glance. It couldn't be that Amelia was feeling
uncomfortable because of her pregnancy, could it?
"Okay," Amelia replied in a low voice and leaned against the seat. Her heart was beating fast because of nervousness.
Lucian parked the car at the SJ Garden and got out without saying a word. Just as he opened the passenger door and took her
hand, he noticed a reddish patch on the back of her hand. The injury seemed to be swollen.
His face twisted in anger after seeing that.
"Did you remove the entrance guard?" Amelia glanced at Lucian curiously when they passed the door without any hindrance.
"Yes." Lucian nodded but didn't say anything.
Lucian had removed the guard ever since Shelly started living in the villa. It was not for her. Instead, he didn't want the entrance
guard to bother him every two or three days.
Lucian and Amelia entered the villa one after the other. They heard a quarrel before they arrived in the living room.
"You are wicked at such a young age. No wonder Lucian doesn't give a damn about you!"
"You bastard! If you were not Lucian's friend, I wouldn't have let you in! Get out!"
Shelly and Carlotta were so engrossed in glaring at each other that they didn't even notice the presence of Lucian and Amelia.
"Welcome back, Mrs. Amelia!" Lily's eyes sparkled in excitement when she saw Amelia.
Amelia smiled, and all her nervousness was forgotten after seeing another familiar face.
Her lips stretched to form a bright smile, and she nodded. "Thank you for cooking chicken soup for me. It was very delicious."
"I can make it for you every day!" Anger crawled on Shelly's face when Lily took pleasure in blurting out "Mrs. Amelia" in front of
her.

"Lily, stop paying attention to Amelia! I'm Lucian's wife now." Shelly shot a glare at Lily.
Lily presented Shelly with a blank look. Her voice sounded attacking. "Do you think you can hide the truth? Grow up! You can
treat yourself as Mrs. Shelly all you want, but I won't. There is only one Mrs. Amelia in my heart!"
Lily caught hold of Amelia's hands, but Amelia recoiled in pain.
"Ah..." Amelia let out a loud shrill and took her wounded hand back, caressing her injury.
"Are you okay, Mrs. Amelia?" Lily frowned and looked at Amelia in worry.
Lucian took Amelia's hand. "Go get the medkit."
"Lucian, you..." Shelly called out and attempted to approach Lucian.
"Look! You did all this!" Carlotta stopped her angrily. Her eyes squinted at the injury, but she was satisfied after seeing Lucian's
worried face. "I should thank you, Shelly, for doing this to Amelia. Or else, I wouldn't have seen concern in Lucian's eyes today."
Shelly was driven mad with jealousy after hearing that.
"Amelia's just pretending to be a victim. You have no proof that I was the culprit behind that wound!" Shelly refused to accept her
mistake in front of Lucian.
Carlotta shot a mocking glance at Shelly before she chuckled. "Little girl, don't you know how impulsive you are? Think for a
moment about the consequences of your action."
"What do you mean?" Surprise muddled Shelly. Her eyes couldn't believe that a small shop was under surveillance.
Amelia wouldn't say a single word about what happened, and Shelly knew this. Shelly thought no one would know about the
event.
"You thought everything was under your control, but the surveillance won't lie!" Carlotta tightened her fists and glared at Shelly,
trying to frighten her.
Although Carlotta hit her forties, her dressing sense kept up with the latest trend. Her long hair reached to her waist. The glow of
her skin told the story that age did not leave any trace on her body. She looked more like a teenager.
Lily cheered and clapped her hands.

Shelly looked like a child who had lost her candy. Her eyes shifted at Lucian only to find him holding Amelia's hand. Shelly's
heart was filled with storming emotions. She rushed to him and slapped his hand. "Lucian, I'm your wife. You can't touch other
women!"
Shelly's aggressive look and domineering tone resembled the concubines in the soap opera Imperial Household of Love.
"You wouldn't have married Mr. Lucian if it wasn't for An Group's unreasonable request!" Lily snorted and looked away.
"That's right!" Carlotta echoed.
"You... You two..." Shelly ran out of words and watched those two ladies crowding on her. Only Amelia held a hint of sympathy in
her eyes.
"Shelly, control yourself!" Lucian looked coldly at Shelly.
"Lucian..." Shelly pouted and said, "You really are ungrateful. If my father hadn't offered a helping hand, the Zhan Group wouldn't
have survived the crisis..."
Lucian's face turned dark after hearing Shelly's childish whining. He ignored her and knitted his brows together to focus on
Amelia's hand. He was calmly applying medicine to the injury.
Amelia drew back her finger and spoke, "Lily, can you help me with this?"
Although Shelly was unreasonable, she was right. The Zhan Group had survived the crisis because of the An Group. She didn't
want Lucian to be ungrateful. Wasn't it Amelia who had asked for a divorce? She had to speak up to get rid of all the
misunderstandings.
After seeing the ointment on the back of her hand, Amelia smiled and stood up, bowing before Lucian and Shelly. "Thank you,
Mr. Lucian and Mrs. Shelly, for your kindness."
She ignored Lucian's changed expressions and dragged Carlotta out.
"Hey, why are we..." Carlotta was startled at Amelia's behavior. It felt like Amelia acted as a thief who broke into the house,
running for her life.
"Lucian, you don't have to follow them!" Shelly tightened her grip around Lucian's arm tightly and clung onto him. Lucian couldn't
move an inch!

Lily's eyes burned in anger, and she tickled Shelly's underarms.
"Haha Lily, stop it!" Shelly let go of Lucian and blocked Lily's attack.
After seeing Lucian's relieved expression when he darted after Amelia, Lily nodded in satisfaction and said, "Of course I want to
get those two lovers back together!"
Shelly got rid of Lily's attack and rushed after Lucian, but he was nowhere to be found. A volcano of anger burst in her heart.
Amelia and Carlotta walked for a long time, but they couldn't find even a single taxi. That was when Amelia found Lucian's car
coming toward her, and this made her walk even faster.
"Amelia, slow down!" Carlotta chased after her.
"Miss Carlotta, Amelia, get in the car." Lucian parked the car beside Amelia. Worry was written all over his face.
A smile beamed across Carlotta's face. She held Amelia by the arm and spoke to her, "He's here for you. Don't look away from
him. Please get in the car."
Carlotta pushed Amelia to the car.
Amelia couldn't bring herself to say no. She had no choice but to get in Lucian's car. But before she sat in the car, she blurted
out. "Carlotta, I want you to sit in the front seat. I'll sit in the back."
The front seat once belonged only to Amelia, but now it was easy to be owned by others.
Amelia's demand plastered a sad look on Lucian's face, except hiding he could do nothing. He looked at Carlotta, "Miss Carlotta,
please get in the car."
"Mr. Lucian, is this the second time we met?" Carlotta tried to spark a conversation with Lucian.
Lucian did fish for words, but he just nodded with a smile.
It dawned on him that he had met Carlotta more than twice. Each time they talked only about Amelia.
Sitting in the back seat, Amelia couldn't help but become all ears to the conversation between them. Her eyes never tore off from
Lucian all this time.

The more she looked at Lucian, the more her eyes glued to him. Her heart constricted with pain, remembering her sweet time
with him. Loneliness crushed her heart.
Lucian parked the car at Amelia's rental house. All this time, she was so self-absorbed that she forgot to ask Lucian to take her
to the workplace. But the sad memories didn't let a word come out of her mouth.
"Your hand is injured. You should take leave from your work for some days." Lucian's voice was oozing out of concern and
affection. His eyes were locked at Amelia.
Amelia felt her heart melted by his words.
"Lucian's right. If you want I can assist you in your work," Carlotta said to Amelia with a sympathetic look.
How could Amelia ask for her help with her work? She looked at her hand, covered with ointment. A thought popped up her mind
that the customers would find her hand unhygienic.
Another thought came in her mind that Courtney had to celebrate her father's birthday, so she wouldn't mind if Amelia put on the
closed sign on the shop's door.
"Thank you for dropping me here," Amelia said politely.
"Have a good rest. I will come back to see you once I finish my work." Lucian's concerned tone expressed more feelings than his
face.
Amelia parted her lips to speak something more, but Carlotta interrupted her, "You know, guys, I can't help saying this. Amelia,
you should get back with Lucian as soon as possible because you both love each other so much. I can see it is true love."
"Miss. Carlotta, please take care of Amelia." He reluctantly ignored her words.
Carlotta nodded and promised, "Don't worry. No one will dare to bully Amelia as long as I'm alive."
