Chapter 5 Becoming His Wife (2/2)

She was completely baffled. She didn't think that Lucian could easily get the household register.

In the Mo family, even though Vernon loved Amelia very much, he had to conceal his love for her because of her stepmother, Sophia. He just let Sophia and Yolanda bully her as they pleased.

”Eric, you did a good job this time!” Lucian said to his assistant. Then Lucian grinned from ear to ear before glancing at Amelia, who was still in a stupor. ”I thought Mr. Vernon would be so angry that I marry his daughter. I didn't expect that he would let this happen so quickly,” he said.

Amelia's face was pale and her eyes were turning red with anger. Her fists were clenched.

”Mr. Lucian, you are so generous. There is no reason for anyone to refuse a ten million check,” Eric Chen said. He then smiled at Amelia and introduced himself, ”Mrs. Amelia, my name is Eric Chen. I'm the assistant of Mr. Lucian. Nice to meet you.”

'Ten million? I can't believe that he would use money to force my father to agree!' Amelia thought to herself.

'Since he's so rich, why couldn't he just pick someone to marry from the streets?'

”Lucian, are you crazy?” she angrily said to Lucian. She couldn't understand why a handsome man like Lucian would become crazy just to get married.

Lucian looked at Amelia's face and slowly said, ”Since your father has agreed to our marriage, thanks to my generous gift, you don't have to make a fuss about it. I'm not a patient man.”

In disbelief, all Amelia could do was let out a sarcastic laugh. ”I really hate arrogant, rich men. Do you really think that I will follow your orders?” Amelia said. After her birth mother died, Amelia only hoped for a family that loved each other. Her father, who was the only one related to her, didn't even pay much attention to her marriage. Because of this, she felt really disappointed.

Suddenly, Eric Chen was whispering something to Lucian.

”Amelia, I know you're feeling hopeless now. But I'm telling you something. Your ex-boyfriend, Jasper, is going to take the money. When your father hesitated, he took the check and happily said that he would use the money to hold a grand wedding ceremony with Yolanda!” Lucian said to Amelia.

”Jasper would take the money?” Amelia painfully asked. Her heart hurt so much that it felt like she was shot by a gun. Amelia couldn't even cry because of the pain she was feeling inside of her.

'Jasper again! He destroyed me and even attempted to trade my happiness for his own wedding, ' Amelia thought to herself.

Amelia shook her head in pain and said nothing.

”Don't you feel reconciled?” Lucian asked. His hands were on Amelia's shoulders.

She did feel reconciled.

She could feel her anger welling up in her chest. She comforted herself with the idea that Vernon hadn't agreed to be bribed, which meant that somehow his daughter was still important to him.

”I promise I'll marry you, but please take back the ten million.” Amelia didn't seem as angry anymore. She gazed back at Lucian.

Lucian's heart beat quickened when he heard her make the promise. However, the feeling was gone as soon as it came.

He had to tell himself that this was just a deal and that he couldn't fall in love with her.

When they got out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Amelia seemed to be out of spirits.

”I'll keep the marriage certificate. You might lose it if you do. You're too absent-minded.” After he put away the marriage certificate, he asked, ”Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?”

She was hungry, but she wasn't really in the mood to eat. So she just ignored him.

”Amelia, you're my wife now even in the eyes of the law. It's my responsibility to take care of you, so please answer me.” He sounded a little angry.

Hearing this, Amelia looked up and answered, ”I'm not really in the mood to eat right now. I'd like something to drink though.”

Lucian was so taken aback that he remained silent. Meanwhile, Amelia thought Lucian would get mad at her, so she was surprised when he said, ”All right. We can celebrate our marriage while we're at it. Let's go!”

”I don't like western food!” Amelia said as she looked out of the car. He had pulled over in front of a western restaurant.

”It's a combination of Chinese food and Western food. I'm sure you'll love it,” Lucian said patiently.

Amelia murmured something to herself in doubt, wondering why on earth Lucian had asked her to marry him.

”Mr. Lucian, welcome!” A waiter came up to them as soon as they entered the restaurant. With much enthusiasm, he said, ”Your table's ready, sir. This way, please.”

The room was luxuriously decorated. Amelia couldn't help but look around in admiration. While she was distracted, Lucian suddenly took her hand and said with a smile, ”You said you wanted a drink, right? You can drink as much as you want today. Even if you get drunk, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of you.”

Amelia was planning on having a drink or two. But upon hearing what Lucian had said, she suddenly hesitated.

Who knew what he would do to her if she ended up drunk?
