Chapter 300 Lets Get A Divorce (1/2)

Amelia had just cried in the room. Even if she washed her face and wore a smile to cover up, nothing could mask the exhaustion and pain on her face.

Amelia nodded and felt a little sad.

”Amelia, please have your breakfast. You need to keep up your strength.” Nicholas had a lot to say, but he held his tongue. His eyes were full of sorrow as he gazed at his daughter.

”Dad, I want to take a stroll in the backyard. It's still too early to eat.” Her voice was hoarse from all of the hours she spent weeping.

Noticing her pale face and red eyes, Nicholas couldn't help but ask with concern, ”Did you quarrel with Lucian?”

Amelia sent her father a quick smile to reassure him. ”No, I'm just not used to eating breakfast too early.” She slightly shook her head in self-admonishment, worried that she might end up revealing more than she intended to say. ”Dad, I'll go out and exercise, and I'll have breakfast when I get back.”

Nicholas sensed her reluctance to talk about what was bothering her and didn't push her to speak. ”Okay, take your time. I'll ask the help to prepare something for you.”

Amelia whispered her thanks and walked out of the hall.

Amelia slowly made her way across the green lawn to look at the foliage in her father's backyard, and dew on the ground seeped through her shoes. She took deep breaths, trying to ground herself, and let out a big exhale with her eyes closed. That simple action made her feel slightly calmer, and she opened her eyes to stare at the sky. Surrounded by the tranquility of the morning, she could still feel the profound sadness in her heart.

At noon, Lucian

She stepped forward to stop Nicholas, but Lucian's cold words cut her off.
