Chapter 30 Ex-girlfriend And Wife, Which One Do You Choose (2/2)
”Come in, come in, don't stand outside.” Sasha stretched out her hands and led her inside.
At this moment, Amelia felt like she was a puppet being used by Lucian. She snuck a glance at Lucian and noticed that he didn't seem quite too happy.
”Amelia, my medicine's in the drawer. Could you please grab it for me?” Sasha pleaded as she caressed her stomach.
”Okay.” Amelia had experienced indigestion before too so she knew how uncomfortable it could get. She handed Sasha the pills and said, ”Miss Sasha, would you like me to cook some porridge for you?”
Sasha was
surprised. She looked at Lucian, not knowing what to say.
Amelia saw that Sasha had turned to Lucian so she added, ”Oh, don't worry. Lucian's very concerned about you actually. He's probably scared to death right now. I'm going to cook you some porridge. It'll be good for your stomach.”
Then she went to the kitchen.
As Sasha watched this entire scene unfold, she let out a chuckle. She couldn't help but think how easy it was to get along with Amelia.
”Have a seat, Lucian.” Sasha walked over and pulled Lucian's arm.
”Why did you pretend to be sick?” Lucian said coldly, his face emotionless.
Sasha was taken aback. Feigning innocence, she said, ”What are you talking about? I'm hurting right now...”
All of a sudden, she threw herself into Lucian's arms. Then acting weakly, she put Lucian's hand on her chest and said pitifully, ”Lucian, I lived in another country for three years. Every time I got sick, I had to suck it up and lie in bed all day. Now that I'm back, I know I have you with me if I get sick. I just want to see you all the time. When I see you, I feel like the pain goes away...”
Amelia was about to ask if she could put some mushrooms in the porridge however upon seeing Lucian and Sasha in such an intimate position, she held her tongue and let them be.
She then decided on her own to just put mushrooms in the porridge since it was good for gastroenteritis.
Sasha couldn't help but be proud as she watched Amelia in the kitchen.
Lucian then said,
”Well, since you're not feeling well, why don't you go lie down first?” Sasha's brief mention of living abroad made Lucian feel guilty all over again.
The moment Sasha pounced on him, he didn't push her away.
After he took her to the bedroom, Lucian intended to go to the kitchen to see how Amelia was doing. However, Sasha grasped his wrist and refused to let him go.
”Sasha, please don't!” At this moment, he just wanted to check on Amelia.
Lucian had assumed that Sasha would freak out if she saw that Amelia was with him but that wasn't what happened. It seemed that Sasha didn't even mind that Amelia was there much to his annoyance.
”Lucian, I know you're married but you should at least give me time to process all of this.” Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, ”Can we still be friends? Even if we can't be together, you can't leave me. You're the only family I have.”
Lucian didn't feel bad for her at all. He said, ”Just rest well. I'll go and check on Amelia.”
This didn't sit well with Sasha. Grabbing the hem of Lucian's clothes, she begged, ”Lucian, please. Just stay with me for a while.”
Frowning, Lucian merely stood still letting Sasha pull him towards her.
Sasha thought that Lucian would at least sit down and accompany her for a while. She didn't expect him to leave right away. Her heart sank at the thought of this but she refused to give up.
”Lucian, I love you so much. I never regretted anything. I don't care that your mother did and said all those things to me. I don't blame you for that. I don't think that you're a heartless person. You wouldn't leave me,” Sasha sobbed. She truly looked pitiful with tears streaming down her face. She moved to close in the distance between her and Lucian.
Burying her head in his arms, she breathed in his scent and his warmth.
Bravely, she blurted out, ”Lucian, I love you. I love you so much!”
Her voice was raised a few octaves higher as if she was excited.
Meanwhile, Amelia had just finished cooking the porridge and was just about to knock on their door. However, when she heard them, she stopped in her tracks. Trembling, she recalled the last time she caught Yolanda and Jasper together.
But it was different this time. This time, her heart ached so bad that she felt as if everything was spinning.
