Chapter 306 An Unexpected Visitor (1/2)

”Mrs. Amelia, dinner is almost ready. What are you doing?” Amelia was holding Mark in one hand and a suitcase in the other. Her lips were set in firm, tight line as her eyes burned in silent anger.

She gripped her suitcase tightly, willing herself to contain the heat of her fury. She did not want to victimize others and wrongfully snap at them. ”Lucian won't go back to the Zhan mansion tonight. I will be taking Mark back to SJ Garden. Please tell dad later, Darren,” she replied in flat voice.

”This...” Darren was at a loss about how to appease her, and seeing the decisiveness in her eyes, he had no other choice but to relent. Taking the suitcase from her hand, he said, ”It would not be convenient for you to drive with the young master. Let me see you off.”

Amelia had almost wanted to refuse, but Darren was right. Mark was still young, and she had her concerns about having to drive and keep an eye on him at the same time. It was not a long way from here, but it would put her at ease if she accepted Darren's offer.

With an apologetic smile, she said, ”Then, allow us to trouble you, Darren.”

”You are welcome, Mrs. Amelia. It would be my pleasure.”

Darren left after he had sent Amelia and Mark back to SJ Garden. She entered the house without a sound. She was already in the living room when Lily noticed her, and the woman hurriedly went over and held Mark in her arms. ”Mrs. Amelia, you should have called for me. You almost gave me a scare, coming in so quietly like that.”

Amelia just gave Lily a tired smile.

”Lily, please take care of Mark first. I'll go up and put our things away,” she spoke in a low voice. It was not hard to see that her mind was elsewhere.

”Okay...” Lily sensed Amelia's pensive mood and said nothing more. Amelia

in surprise.
