Chapter 244 An Awkward And Complicated Background (2/2)

He had a flashback of the time when Jonny sneered as he talked about Fiona cheating on Nicholas in the past. Now, he was certain that it wasn't merely an unwarranted rumor.

'How did Jonny know about this while I was oblivious this whole time?' Lucian thought.

”Don't you get it? It's because Amelia is my wife that my heart feels heavy with sadness!” Lucian exclaimed as his voice escalated with distress.

He was disheartened by the fact that he knew there was no way to cure the pain that would be felt whenever he thought of his relationship with Amelia.

”If I may ask, am I the antagonist in your story?” asked Lucian. In spite of all the wrath he felt towards his father, Lucian would never do anything to hurt him.
