Chapter 179 Shameless (1/2)
Amelia still was worried after hung up the phone. She wondered if she could sought help from anyone else who might have information about Lucian.
Then a name popped up in her mind. Jonny.
Yes, she could seek help from Jonny. As soon as she thought of Jonny's name, she hurriedly dialed his number and hoped he would answer quickly.
Normally Jonny would never miss her call. Every time she called Jonny, he would always answer the phone no matter what. And this time was no exception.
The phone might have rang once or twice, but Jonny answered it with a cheerful tone. Amelia felt a little nervous when the phone connected and she heard Jonny's voice. However she summoned up her courage and asked him, ”Jonny, do you... umm ... Have Lucian contacted you recently?”
She tried to sound casual. She didn't want to appear suspicious to Jonny.
”Lucian?” Jonny said in a confusing tone. He paused momentarily before he added, ”Because of business, we often meet with each other, but not recently have we met. What's wrong? You seem stressed.”
That meant, Jonny also didn't know Lucian's whereabouts. Amelia bit her lower lip, then answered his question considerately, ”Oh, no. I'm absolutely okay. Don't worry.”
She pretended to sound usual with her easy tone, but her words were hasty.
Because it was already midnight and it was obviously not normal for anyone to call at this hour of night to ask about her husband's whereabouts. Jonny got the image absolutely right. Something was definitely up.
”Amelia, didn't Lucian return home tonight?” Jonny asked her carefully.
