Chapter 184 Claire Called To Provoke (2/2)

His black suit complemented his icy expression. Her heart thudded against her chest.

”Is Mark asleep?” His eyes were glued to Mark, sleeping in the crib.

Amelia recovered from her shock and showed off an indifferent expression on her face. ”He just fell asleep.”

Then they were surrounded by a long silence.

Amelia was in a bad mood. Although she had a lot to say, her mind was blank. She didn't know how to break that uncomfortable silence.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, the thought about her news popped in her mind. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lucian. 'He didn't come back to argue about that, did he?'

She silently braced herself for hearing hurtful words.

”I'm sorry. I came a little late on New Year's Eve.” His voice carried a hint of embarrassment, surprising Amelia.

Amelia wanted to tell him that she was fine, but she couldn't. His attitude earlier was different from that of today's, which confused her. She didn't know what to say.

”You are too busy. I understand.” She turned her head, appearing cold on the surface. It seemed like she didn't care if he wanted to spend his New Year's Eve with Claire.

Ever since that girl showed up, he had always been late. Amelia thought that there was no need to use polite words.

”Amelia, I don't want you to misunderstand me...” He sighed and glanced at her helplessly.
