Chapter 10 She Is The Bridesmaid (2/2)

h her other hand and lowered her head bashfully.

Noticing that Amelia was cold, Lucian took off his coat and placed it around Amelia.

She was startled by the sudden warmth that replaced the freezing cold.

She'd watched this scene on TV so many times but she'd never experienced it herself until now and it certainly felt different.

She raised her head and whispered thanks, her eyes averting his gaze.

It wasn't like her to wear makeup so that night, she looked absolutely stunning with her makeup on coupled with the elegant dress she was wearing. When she smiled, Lucian felt his heart skip a beat.

For a while, he just kept his gaze on her, a small smile playing on his lips.

”Oh, Lucian, Amelia. You're here. I've been looking for you.” Yolanda's shrill voice broke the silence between them.

In embarrassment, Lucian looked away. His gentle expression disappeared and was quickly replaced with his usual cold demeanor.

Yolanda had changed into a red cheongsam. There was a peony pattern embroidered on the red cheongsam and a shawl was draped over her shoulder. She looked beautiful with her curly hair.

”Yolanda, I thought mother asked you to put on more clothes, why didn't you listen to her?” Jasper was just coming over with Yolanda's coat in hand, frowning.

Yolanda seemed pissed. She snapped, ”Well, I have a shawl, don't I? Everyone's going to be looking at me today. I can't possibly wear that!”

Yolanda liked being beautiful no matter what. She never went out without any makeup on. During winter, she'd wear thin silk stockings. She would get her hair done on a weekly basis and would use that time to smoke a cigarette or two. Most of all, she loved going to the bar with her friends.

She was pregnant now so she couldn't do any of those anymore. It was hard to tell how well she was adjusting to this new lifestyle she was supposed to have.

At the thought of this, Amelia pinched herself hard and scolded herself in her mind, 'Mind your own business.'

”You're pregnant now. You're going to adjust,” Jasper begged, his voice low and his eyebrows knitted together.

His words enraged Yolanda. She glared at him as she spoke, her voice sharp as knives, ”Did you only marry me because I'm pregnant?”

With an aghast look, Jasper turned to look at Amelia and said in an apologetic tone, ”Thank you so much for attending our service. I deeply apologize for the hiccups that we experienced. I sincerely hope we can make it up to you.”

”Jasper, why are you changing the topic? I'm asking you!” It seemed that Jasper mentioning Amelia's name had triggered Yolanda causing her to shoot daggers with her eyes at Amelia. She pulled at his sleeve and said, ”I want you to tell Amelia right now that you don't love her anymore!”

Amelia didn't know what was happening. Why was Yolanda acting like that? Didn't they just literally get married? Why was she still doubting him?

If Jasper were being honest, he just felt like he had no history with Yolanda. He spent five years in another relationship whom he didn't end up with.

As far as she knew, there should always be respect in a love that's supposedly mutual.

It seemed that Jasper had already forgotten the true meaning of love. Being with Yolanda was an act of self-defeat to him.

Since her mother passed away, Amelia felt as if she was practically treated as a servant in the Mo family. Sophia never liked being a stepmother. Yolanda always mistreated her. She only opened up her heart when she met Jasper. She trusted him without getting to know him first expecting him to love her as much as Vernon loved her. She didn't expect that any of this would happen.

”Yolanda, just stop it, okay?” Jasper begged, he seemed embarrassed. ”Yolanda, you're my wife now. Can't you trust me just a little?”

Yolanda merely sneered at him.

”I trust you but I have to hear it from your mouth. I have to hear you say those words. I need proof that you don't love her anymore.” Yolanda had an evil grin on her face. She raised her chin and looked at Amelia arrogantly as if she was declaring war against her.

”Honey, I love you.”

A deep and soft voice suddenly rang in Amelia's ears.

Amelia felt his hot breath in her ear. She felt a chill run from her neck down to her spine, her face flushed, and her heart was beating a mile a minute.

To everyone else, their love was a bit of a fairytale. It wasn't believable considering that they were from two different worlds.

”Jasper, look!” Yolanda glared at Jasper who was still in a daze. Then she turned to Amelia and said in a threatening voice, ”Since you and Lucian seem to be legitimately in love, I'll let you go. But I'm warning you, the minute I find out that you still have feelings for Jasper, I'll make sure you pay for it.”
