Chapter 155 They Quarreled Again (2/2)

The parents shared nothing much with each other except random pleasantries. After dinner, Nicholas invited Vernon to play chess with him at Zhan mansion.

Perhaps because he enjoyed the same hobby, Vernon agreed.

Amelia stood at the door waiting for Lucian to get the car. When Vernon walked past her, he casually said, ”You've humiliated me today.”

Amelia's face fell and her heart sank.

She didn't even know what she did to make Vernon say such hateful words.

Lucian stopped the car in front of the restaurant and called out Amelia to get in. Seeing that she didn't look well, he asked, ”What happened?” He turned to look at Vernon who had already gone inside their car. Lucian already had a hunch.

”Can we go back to SJ Garden now?” she eagerly asked Lucian as she sat in the front seat of his car.

They had initially intended to drop by Zhan mansion with their parents, but seeing Vernon in a terrible mood, Amelia wanted nothing to do with him.

”Okay, if that's what you want,” Lucian said. Vernon and Sophia were already on their way to Zhan mansion, so Lucian called Darren to inform him about their change of plans.

”Let's go home.” After hanging up on Darren, Lucian held Amelia's hand and away they drove.

They spent the drive in silence. When they finally arrived at SJ Garden, Amelia wearily told Lucian, ”I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to bed.”
