Chapter 15 Flipped With Love (2/2)

Amelia turned only to find Lucian on the edge of the bed with some vomit dripping around his lips.

She frowned but still helped Lucian lie down properly on the bed. She then headed to the bathroom to fetch a basin of hot water to clean him up.

When she'd cleaned everything up, she feared that Lucian would vomit again so she grabbed a small stool and sat by the bed to watch over him.

Luckily, she had a big nap that afternoon or else she'd be asleep by now.

The rest of the night was uneventful. Lucian didn't vomit anymore and he slept through the night.

Amelia's head was aching. She stretched out her body and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Suddenly, Lucian jolted awake. He slowly opened his eyes and was relieved to find that he was in his own room. He paused as he scanned the room. 'What is she doing here?' he wondered to himself.

He knew that he had drunk a lot and the alcohol he was drinking was pretty strong. However, he couldn't remember anything after Eric had driven him back.

'Did Amelia sleep here? Was she looking after me as I slept?'

Lucian suddenly felt his heart beating a mile a minute and it took a while before he was able to calm himself down.

”Come on, let's get you to the bed.” Lucian got up and intended to pick up Amelia and place her on the bed.

Amelia was in a daze. While she did hear a voice, she was too tired to realize what was happening. She just opened her eyes and stood up as asked and immediately fell on the bed without even looking to see who the person was.

Lucian was leaning over Amelia in a rather intimate position.

Amelia bit her lips hard and her skin was as white as milk.

She was so fair... Her lips were red like strawberries. As Lucian gazed at it, he felt his heart skip a bit. He could feel a tingle run through his body as he leaned over Amelia. He snapped back to his senses when he heard a knock on the door.

Lucian tucked Amelia in and went to open the door.

It was Lily who had already prepared breakfast. She said in a respectful tone, ”Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia was waiting up for you last night. I cooked porridge for your breakfast.”

”How long did she wait for me?” Lucian asked as he looked at Amelia in surprise.

”Quite a while. She's so kind. She was worried about me asking if I was tired and offered to help me. She also asked me to go to bed early while she waited up for you. I went to bed early last night so she was alone in the living room as she waited for you,” Lily said kindly, she was speaking so highly of Amelia which said a lot about Amelia's character.

”All right. I'll take the breakfast.” After he took the tray, he said, ”Please cook some soup. I'll call you when Amelia wakes up.”

”Okay.” Lily then added, ”Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia seems like a great match for you. You're young and hardworking and Mrs. Amelia is just so considerate. You guys are the perfect couple!”

”You can go back to work now.” Lucian's face was unreadable but his heart was restless.

While he knew that Lily only meant well with what she said, he didn't know what to make of it.

He put the breakfast on the table and walked to the bed, staring at Amelia thoughtfully.

When Amelia woke up, Lucian was sitting on the sofa, sorting through some documents. He glanced at Amelia, who was looking at him in confusion, and a smile appeared on his face. However, it was gone as soon as it came as if he'd realized that he was smiling and he didn't like that.

Amelia looked out of the window and realized that she had slept in Lucian's bed. She jumped up and ran toward him. Upon seeing Lucian, she retreated a few steps. ”What are you doing here?” she asked in a panic.

This wasn't her bed so Amelia wondered why she had slept on his bed.

Amelia looked down to check her clothes and skim the room. She was relieved to find that Lucian's coat was still on the leather chair where she had placed it the previous night as well as the sweater that went along with it. Still, she felt nervous as she glanced at Lucian. She was always suspicious of Lucian especially that he was drunk last night. So why did she sleep on his bed?

After a while, she heard Lucian's faint voice. ”Are you awake? You hungry? Lily made some chicken soup for you. Eat.”

She felt like the words just went her other ear. She remained silent for a while, staring at Lucian and seemingly in a daze. She managed to choke out, ”I... I'm leaving now.”

Lucian noticed how frozen she was in her spot and how nervous she was probably by his cold demeanor. He shifted his tone to a softer one as he spoke, ”Lily told me that you waited up for me last night.”

Amelia did wait up for him but it's not like that meant anything significant.
