'Yes, it was. But I'm not your personal cook,' Amelia complained to herself.
"Amelia, you really are a cunning woman!" Lucian was amused by the cute look on her face. In the
past, Amelia always followed the orders given to her. Now, she was becoming resourceful. She learned
to look beyond instructions and find alternative ways to get things done. This way of getting along really
added a little fun to her boring life.
"If I did have a bad idea, I would have asked Lily to help me write the self-criticism," she answered
without hesitation.
"Although you didn't ask Lily for help, you managed to think of something like that. Do you still want to
deny that it's not a bad idea?" With his eyes closed a little, Lucian looked at her and said.
She had thought about this when she really didn't know what to write after finishing a whopping 1,000
words.
In fact, Lucian just blurted it out to remind Amelia. After all, it was very dangerous last night. Why
couldn't she understand?
"Don't you know you were drugged last night?" Having said this, Lucian couldn't help but frown.
"What do you mean drugged?" Hearing this, she could not help but tremble. Her mind instantly sped
back to the things that transpired the night before. Last night, she had a fever all over and her heart
tingled very much. It turned out that she was drugged!
Even the manager of the hot pot restaurant took advantage of that moment and also touched her.
Fortunately, her will was strong enough to protect herself, otherwise she would have been tricked by
the bad man.
It was no wonder Courtney said she didn't know the manager of the hot pot restaurant at all.
Amelia had to admit she was a simple-minded woman.
"Amelia, everyone in this city knows that you are my wife. But you still get drunk in public. You're really
something!" Lucian couldn't help but berate her.
"That's right. It's not so easy being Mrs. Amelia." Amelia pouted and said.
"What did you say?" Lucian frowned. He approached Amelia to confirm if he heard her clearly.
"Well... nothing." Amelia didn't realize she had said something that was out of bounds. She immediately
wore a look of fear when she saw the coldness on Lucian's face. She'd better not say it again to him.
"Amelia, you are not acting as Mrs. Amelia anymore!" Lucian then added, "You are my wife!"
She thought she was just acting as Mrs. Amelia! It hadn't really dawned on her yet that the entire act
was now a reality. Lucian was filled with fury.
Stunned by what he said, Amelia simply nodded.
She just blurted it out and didn't mean anything else at all. In all honesty, she took Lucian as her
husband so she said it with a hint of playfulness. Even if she was well aware of what she said, she still
wanted to make fun of him occasionally.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have drunk last night." She grabbed his arm and said apologetically.
"Are you throwing a tantrum?" Instantaneously, Lucian's mood lightened. But he still showed a poker
face to Amelia.
"I can do it if you really like. But I am not good at it. I might disgust you!" Amelia said seriously.
Lucian rolled his eyes at her. He couldn't help but smile when he remembered how Amelia said she
was hot last night.
Seeing him laugh, Amelia asked with confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
"Last night, someone said on the phone that she missed me and threw herself to me. What's more, she
even took off her clothes in front of me. It seemed that someone had totally forgotten about it." Lucian
deliberately exaggerated in an attempt to frighten her.
Amelia thought for a while. She did tell Lucian on the phone she missed him. But did she threw herself
to him and take off her clothes in front of him?
She looked at Lucian doubtfully and realized he was staring at her as if she was a joke.
"Lucian, please don't take it the wrong way. I was drugged. I couldn't think straight. I'm usually not that
bold!" Amelia corrected him at once, her face burning with shame.
"I did not understand it in a wrong way. I was a gentleman all throughout I removed your hands and put
you into the cold water to sober you up." Unconsciously, Lucian argued with Amelia and made a lot of
statements, which was beyond ordinary.
"I..." Amelia was too nervous to say a word. After a long silence, she said, "You even took off my
clothes last night!"
She complained as if she had suffered a great loss.
Seeing that she was pissed off, Lucian couldn't help smiling. He said in a normal tone, "As your
husband, isn't it normal?"
After saying that, he stared at her with his deep eyes and pretended to be indifferent. However, the
appearance of Amelia who lost consciousness last night kept recurring in his mind.
This woman sometimes looked like a fool, and sometimes she was very feminine.
"Of course it isn't normal!" Amelia raised her voice and said warily, "We are not at all familiar with each
other yet."
After saying that, her heart trembled, thinking the words she said without any hesitation easily made
others think in a wrong way.
With a serious look on his face, Lucian stared at Amelia and seemed to be thinking about something.
Noticing the person on the other side was extremely quiet, Amelia became more frightened and
worried. When she was about to explain, Lucian came over all of a sudden. He looked at her closely
with his thin lips open and said coldly, "We really need to do something intimate so that we can be
familiar with each other."
His words made Amelia's face blush and her heart beat faster.
As Lucian's face got closer and closer to her, the minty scent on his body immediately swept over her
entire nose. Her heart clenched and jumped swiftly in irregular beats.
What he meant made her think a lot. She felt a little uneasy to the bottom of her heart. Looking at his
handsome face in panic, she was infatuated and afraid.
With an evil smile, Lucian reached out a hand around Amelia's neck and the other on her slender waist.
His eyes were always cold and unruly.
With her eyes blinking nervously, Amelia wondered what Lucian was going to do!
Seeing that Lucian was about to get down, Amelia was scared and pushed him away immediately. She
said with a serious and surprised tone, "Lucian, are you crazy?"
She cursed as though she was in a hurry.
Looking at a now furious Amelia, Lucian put on a cold smile and said, "What a boring woman!"
After that, Lucian turned around and walked out of the bedroom, leaving Amelia standing there in a
daze.
At dinner time, when Amelia went downstairs, she didn't see Lucian. Lily said that he was out and
wouldn't come home tonight.
Somehow, Amelia's heart sank all of a sudden when she heard what Lily said. She began to regret that
she had annoyed him again.
But why did he get angry again and this time, didn't have plans of coming back home?
Sitting at the table and looking at the dishes she liked, Amelia lost her appetite and wondered why
Lucian was angry.
"Mrs. Amelia, why don't you eat?" Sitting opposite to Amelia, Lily could see she was unhappy. Lily
smiled and said, "If you are bored, I can have lunch with you."
Lily's warm disposition didn't fail to make her feel deeply touched. She nodded at her with a smile.
"Lily, you are a good cook." No matter how unhappy she was, Amelia knew she couldn't let others feel
the same way.
Lily laughed, and then continued, "The dishes you made are really delicious. Even Mr. Lucian praised
your cooking!"
As far as Lily knew, any dish praised by Lucian was sure to be prepared for the gods and it was a great
honor to get his praise.
The topic returned to Lucian, and Amelia was anxious about him again.
She looked at Lily in confusion and asked, "Lily, it seems that I have made Lucian angry yet again..."
Sometimes, she would talk about her heart's inhibitions to Lily. There were only three of them in the
villa. If Lucian wasn't there, Lily would be the only one to keep her company.
"Mrs. Amelia, you didn't do it on purpose. You had no intention of hurting him. Mr. Lucian will
understand." Lily comforted her with a smile.
Of course she didn't mean it. She just pissed him off and said they didn't know each other a lot.
Why did she feel she hurt him by saying that when she had already calmed down in the first place? But
it was not what her heart was saying.
"How about I call him and ask him? Is that a good idea?" She wanted to ask Lucian if he wanted to go
home later so she could apologize and make amends.
After handing in the self-criticism letter with 5000 words, she would apologize again as though she was
someone who always made mistakes.
"Of course you can make a call. Maybe Mr. Lucian will come back soon." Lily agreed with her and said
in a ridiculed tone, "Mr. Lucian is a proud man. If you can save his face, he will be happy."
Although Lily was only twenty years old, she was good at dealing with conflicts between lovers.
Amelia left the table, holding her phone in her hands and dialed Lucian's number. Her heart tightened
while she waited for him to answer.
When he finally picked up, Lucian asked in a mellow voice, "What's up?"
He said coldly and she knew he was really angry.
Amelia wanted to give Lucian a piece of her mind. She thought, 'Lucian, as a man, do you have to be
so sensitive?'
But on second thought, she was here to apologize, so she suppressed her anger.
"Do you have any plans tonight? If not and if it's okay with you, I want you come home early. And I'll
wait for you at home." She repeated what she just said in her head and thought of it as disgusting.
She felt as though she was talking to herself.
The person on the other end of the line was silent. The silence was deafening. Just when Amelia
thought Lucian wouldn't answer her, he said calmly, "I'll be home soon."
Getting his positive response, Amelia didn't frown any longer. She smiled with joy and said lightly,
"Okay then. Drive safe."
Just a few moments ago, she was full of resentment. Now she felt sweet, as if she had eaten honey.
"Mrs. Amelia, is Mr. Lucian coming back?" Lily knew the answer to her question as she saw the smile
on Amelia's face.
Amelia nodded satisfactorily and pouted at once. "But I'm so nervous."
Was she hinting at Lucian by saying that?
By thinking of it over and over again, she felt like she was flirting with him.
