Chapter 296 We Have Been Married For Years (1/2)

Amelia shook her head, and with a subtle unobtrusive voice she said, ”It's nothing. I was just trying to rule out the possibility, but it seems as though I've made a mistake.”

She released a deep sigh. The thought of Lucian taking Fannie's side over hers, was something that made her feel a kind of resentment that she couldn't put aside.

When Nicholas observed that she wasn't looking well, he asked, ”Did you have a fight with Lucian?”

The moment that she heard his name, her expression turned glum and she murmured, ”He's downstairs.”

Her voice had faint remnants of displeasure that came out without a conscious thought.
