Chapter 174 The Woman You Couldnt Let Go (2/2)

Lucian wanted to help her, but Amelia quickly said, ”You should go to bed early. You have work in the morning and Mark's cries will keep you up.”

Amelia's words were like a splash of cold water dousing what little warmth Lucian felt.

”Please, Lucian. Just go to sleep,” Amelia said in a low voice.

”Amelia...”

”Let's talk tomorrow. I'm really tired,” she said.

Seeing fatigue written all over Amelia's face, Lucian dismissed the idea of conversing with her. He finally said, ”I hope you sleep well. Good night.”

Lucian reached out to pat her head and Amelia allowed him to. But despite her appreciation of the gesture, she felt generally indifferent to him.

During the night, Amelia felt exhausted but couldn't find it in herself to sleep. If it hadn't been for the fear of disturbing Mark, she would have tossed and turned the whole night.

When she awoke the next day, she was devastated to find the baby missing. Her heart raced as she rushed downstairs only to find Lily carrying Mark in her arms.

”Did you sleep well, Mrs. Amelia?”

”What time did Mark wake up?” It took Amelia too long to doze off that her sleep had been too deep when her son woke up.
