Chapter 218 Thank You For Your Help (2/2)
”I believe that you and Amelia are destined for each other. God led your paths to cross. You see? Despite the twists and turns that you both experience, you are still together. Isn't tha
e wanted to protect Amelia from her so he didn't want to leave.
Fannie deliberately put on a long face and pretended to be angry. ”Son, can't I have a talk with my daughter-in-law? What are you thinking? We are in SJ Garden now. Do you think that I will eat your wife alive?”
”Lucian, didn't you say earlier that you have a business to deal with?” this time, Amelia spoke up. ”I will accompany mom for now. Anyway, you will only be working upstairs. You can come down immediately after you finish your work. Don't worry about us,” she added. To avoid causing more trouble, Amelia thought that it would be better if Lucian would follow his mother this time. Although she wasn't sure of Fannie's intention, she decided to just go with it.
”I hope someone will see the goodness in you,” Lucian said to Amelia before he left. He realized that Fannie was right. SJ Garden was their home. Fannie couldn't do anything to threaten Amelia because he wouldn't allow it to happen.
When Lucian was already upstairs, Amelia smiled at Fannie apologetically. ”Mom, why dad didn't come with you?” she asked.
”You know that your father is not well right now. He finds it difficult to move,” responded Fannie sourly. She was now wearing that sullen face again.
Amelia noticed the sudden change in Fannie's facial expression so she felt uneasy.
”Amelia, as your mother-in-law, I'm afraid that I will need to say some things you won't like to hear. It's hard, I know. But I still have to say them because I care for my son a lot.” By the look of it, Amelia could tell that Fannie had a lot to say.
She knew that Fannie held a grudge against her. Moreover, Fannie didn't like to be disobeyed. If she continued to go against her, the more that she wouldn't stop pestering them. Hence, Amelia decided not to talk much no matter what she would say.
Anyway, she only cared about Lucian. As long as her husband understood her, she had nothing to fear.
”Go ahead, mom. I'm listening.”
