Chapter 194 Incompetent Mother (2/2)

ed to her and said, ”I have an important meeting today. Take care of Mark.”

Lucian actually didn't mean to sound as cold as he did. But when he opened his mouth and heard his tone, it was too late to take anything back.

”Mark is also my son. Don't worry,” Amelia said with a forced smile. She added, ”Don't forget to have lunch.”

She only worked with Lucian for a few months, but it was enough for her to see just how workaholic Lucian could get. She had heard from Eric that Lucian would often skip lunch to work throughout the day. She took it upon herself to remind him to eat before he went to work every day.

But after she bid him goodbye that day, he merely nodded and didn't kiss her as he usually did.

After Lucian left, Amelia quietly went back to the bedroom. She found the clothes Lucian had worn in the bathroom and thought of soaking it in water before washing. But before she could reach for a basin, something caught her eyes. There was a lipstick stain on his collar.

Amelia couldn't believe her eyes. All color drained from her face as she looked at his shirt.

After examining the piece of clothing, she found other lip prints in various parts.

If Lily hadn't called her to tell her that Mark was crying, Amelia could've sat there for hours, holding Lucian's shirt.

”Are you okay, Mrs. Amelia? You don't look so good,” Lily asked when she saw the expression on Amelia's face. She did not just look absent-minded; she also looked grim.
