Chapter 71 Misplaced Jealousy (2/2)

wer. After changing into clean clothes, she stood in front of the mirror and inspected herself for a long time. Suddenly, a voice echoed inside her, magnifying her doubt, 'Are you a woman, Amelia? No makeup, plain clothes, no...'

”Ah! I don’t care,” she muttered to herself, drying her hair harshly with a towel. Who cares? Was she really worried about Lucian not liking it? Did she want to please him that badly?

Lucian found her in that state, staring at herself in the mirror. Quietly, he walked over and stood behind her. ”Someone's narcissistic,” he laughed behind her.

His reflection from behind her caught Amelia by surprise. She whirled around and gave him a stern look, not saying a word, and looked back at the mirror.

”You must have been tired today,” Lucian hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear in a gentle voice.

”Yes, but I'm really happy too,” she answered, forgetting all her anger at the sound of his voice. Today had been good. She felt like she did something meaningful.

”You did great, Amelia,” Lucian praised. Then, he let go of her and said wearily, ”I have to take a shower. You should sleep.”

Amelia watched Lucian disappear into the bedroom and went back to stare at the dressing mirror.

The two of them really got along well. It was as if they had been married for a long time.

They had already moved forward as well, having slept together in the same bed. It was difficult that first night, but now that they had cleared that hurdle, Amelia felt even more comfortable with him. She didn't mind sleeping beside him at night. In fact, part of her was looking forward to it. She got into bed and held the mobile phone at hand, pretending to play with it.

After Lucian walked out of the bathroom, Amelia kept her eyes glued on the screen, willing herself to calm down.
