”Amelia, look!” Lucian handed her the photo with a bright smile on his face.

Amelia gazed at the photo, tears streaming down her face again.

”Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I almost lost you.” Holding Iris's portrait in her arms, she clutched it tightly as if she was afraid she was going to lose it again.

”Mr. Lucian and Mrs. Amelia, Mr. Nicholas is waiting for you in his study.” Darren didn't have the heart to interrupt Amelia who seemed to be having a moment with her mother. In a small voice, he said, ”It was Mr. Nicholas who found the portrait. He asked to talk to you two inside.”

Putting on an icy cold look, Lucian said rather harshly, ”Kindly thank my father for me but this doesn't mean that I forgive my mother.”

Lucian always stood by what he thought was wrong and right. In this situation, his mother was wrong and she hadn't even apologized yet which meant there was no way he was going to forgive her for doing such an atrocious thing.

”Mrs. Amelia, please don't be upset. Mr. Nicholas has no problems with you. He didn't mean to offend you. He just wants to talk to you,” Darren added upon realizing that he couldn't persuade Lucian. He figured maybe Amelia was easier to convince.
