Chapter 179 Shameless (2/2)
Amelia paused for a second before answering. She thought that this was solely her and Lucian's business. She should not let anyone else to know. So, she let out a quick laugh and replied, ”No. Actually Lucian was home. Then he had to go to his office as a sudden important work came up. He must have gotten busy with his work so didn't answer my call. He hasn't come back from the company yet. That's why I'm calling you...”
Amelia knew she
stayed quiet. But what made Amelia more upset was the girl that came out of his room and stood behind Lucian. Amelia remembered that, this was the same girl whom she met this morning. Amelia noticed she was wearing a white bathrobe, and her hair was still wet.
The glimpse of Lucian with another girl had frozen Amelia right on the spot. She couldn't even say anything else. She felt as if this wasn't even true. This was a dream. The fact was she couldn't imagine Lucian with another girl and here he was standing with her.

It didn't matter to Amelia anymore that Fannie was a senior to her. She didn't care if her words could offend her but she would never allow Fannie to slander her and Lucian's child.
However, all the while Lucian didn't say anything. He stood aside quietly and only watched everyone, especially Amelia. Amelia looked at him and immediately got familiarized with his cold expression which was strange yet so familiar.
