Amelia's face turned red, gripping the clothes in her hand. She raised her head to see an empty space

in front of her, and her shoulders relaxed. It seemed Lucian had finally decided to leave her alone. She

changed her clothes without hesitation.

Even though Lucian was her husband, she wouldn't aspire to see him naked. She lowered her head in

embarrassment, remembering his toned body.

Lucian was chewing a morsel of his food when he heard someone's footsteps. He raised his eyes to

see Amelia walking downstairs and pushed her plate toward her seat. "Eat this, or else you'll feel

dizzy."

Amelia frowned at that. "Is it going to be a long journey?" Lucian nodded. It was far from downtown.

"Nearly an hour." He paused for a moment before casting a serious glance at her. "It's better if you stay

at home because of your car sickness."

Although he wanted to be with her, he wouldn't let her feel any distress. Amelia just smiled at him and

continued to eat, silently answering that she wouldn't stay at home.

Lucian took the car keys and walked out of the front door with Amelia tailing behind him. She had to run

to catch up to him.

Her breathing was heavy by the time they reached the car. "Can you stop for a moment? I'm

exhausted."

Lucian rolled his eyes at her. "I never forced you to run after me." He opened the door, gesturing for her

to enter.

Amelia's tired body fell on the passenger seat like a sack of wheat.

Lucian got in and ignited the engine. "You'll see many curves ahead. I'll drive slowly, okay?" His voice

was gentle, spammed with love and concern.

Amelia nodded and closed her eyes. She thought sleeping would be the best idea. Lucian's face

flashed in front of her, making her eyes open in an instant. Even if he was right beside her, his face still

enchanted her mind.

She peeped at Lucian from the corner of her eye, feeling warm-hearted.

He could feel her eyes on him, and his lips lifted to form a pleasant smile. "What's wrong?" Lucian

asked in a calm voice, focusing his eyes on the road.

Amelia's heart jumped, and she lowered her head. How could she say that she liked staring at him?

"Do you want me to play something?" Lucian didn't know what she was thinking. Instead, he felt that

Amelia might be bored.

Before he could press the button, Amelia reached the player and browsed through the list, selecting a

slow English song.

Lucian raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "Good choice. Your English seems to be better than

mine."

Amelia's face turned dark after hearing his appreciating tone. Was it appropriate to judge her by the

choices she made? He wouldn't have said that if he knew the truth.

Back when she was in school, English was her weakness. Yet, she would listen to English songs

without understanding what the lyrics meant. She was still not fluent in English.

Amelia sat back and closed her eyes. The music added a hint of romance in the air.

Amelia glanced at Lucian again, feeling warm in her heart.

The car made several turns on the road. She was so engrossed in thinking of Lucian that she didn't feel

dizzy.

Lucian knew that she was staring at him, but he didn't dare to say anything. To be honest, he could

have asked Frank to drive it, but he took the steering wheels in his hands to give Amelia some space.

He took another turn, and the car faced an uneven road ahead. Amelia gripped his arm and shot at him

an anxious glance. Would he be able to handle driving through such a road?

Just a few moments later, Amelia found her answer. Lucian was a good driver. She watched him

turning the wheels several times. A surprise was glinting in her eyes.

"Close your eyes if you are afraid." Lucian ignored her sparkling eyes, speaking in a worried tone.

She shook her head and said sweetly, "I'm not afraid." 'It's because I feel safe with you…' Amelia

lowered her head in embarrassment. She couldn't say it out loud.

An hour later, they arrived at the destination.

Amelia looked around and smiled. The calming environment of the woods and nature made her feel

blissful. The only thing that upset her was the deserted construction site.

"Mr. Lucian, I sincerely apologize for the trouble." A middle-aged man's face brightened up after seeing

Lucian.

Lucian shook his head. "You have worked hard for the Zhan Group. It's my duty to pay you a visit." He

wore a smile on his face and walked up to the workers, sticking out his hand for greeting.

One of the workers hesitated before approaching Lucian. "Mr. Lucian, it's better not to shake hands.

We might make you dirty."

Lucian didn't mind it at all. The workers ended up shaking their hands with Lucian, smiling brightly at

his pleasant attitude. "Mr. Lucian, we promise to work hard!"

Seeing their enthusiasm, Lucian's smile widened. He turned to face Amelia and said, "Mrs. Amelia, the

opening ceremony was just an excuse. I wanted you to see the base."

Amelia nodded. These people would work even in the freezing climate. She looked at the workers in

appreciation, greeting them with a sincere bow.

Happiness flooded her heart after seeing the basic for the first time ever since Lucian told her about it.

The workers' eyes shone in excitement after seeing how well Lucian treated Amelia. They said in

unison, "Good morning, Mrs. Amelia."

Amelia's eyes opened wide in surprise. "Good morning!"

"Mr. Lucian, your wife is as polite as you to visit us without any hesitation!" a worker exclaimed.

Lucian's eyes glistened with pride. He gazed at the workers and smiled. "This place will be famous in

the future even though it's deserted now."

"I don't think it's deserted. I love the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. Many tourists will come

here for a vacation after development." Amelia preferred clear streams and fresh air than the city.

The corners of Lucian's lips curved up. "I didn't expect you to be this smart." His voice was dripped with

sarcasm.

"What? That was so mean!" Amelia pouted and looked away.

In the workers' eyes, it was a sign of love. They looked at the couple enviously.

Lucian wanted to take the safety helmet from the workers. His serious glance swept over Amelia. "Stay

here, and don't run around."

His tone was stern as if he was talking to a child.

Amelia nodded and stared at him for a moment. The equipment seemed to enhance his

handsomeness to the extreme. A blush crept on her cheeks, and she averted her eyes.

Lucian went with a group of workers to the base. Amelia didn't want to be idle either. She looked

around and found a row of low-end buildings. The smoke was flowing out from the roof.

She walked closer and caught sight of middle-aged women squatted on the ground, washing the

vegetables. They presented her with a curious glance.

"Hello, everyone!" Amelia's voice was soft and low.

"Who are you?" An elder woman stood up and stared at Amelia with interest. "Are you here to cook?"

The dressing sense of Amelia was simple, and she instead looked like someone working with them.

That was what the lady thought.

Amelia didn't deny it. She asked with a smile, "Aunt, can I help you?"

The construction site had hundreds of workers, and a lot of people were needed to cook the meal.

"I do. Please, come and sit here!" The woman smiled happily, placing a chair for Amelia beside her.

"Young girl, why do you work here?" The women around Amelia couldn't help but look at the young girl

in confusion. Such a beautiful young girl shouldn't work at a construction site.

Amelia's cheeks reddened in embarrassment because of their gaze. She smiled at them and got back

to work.

Others looked at her in admiration and worked even harder.

After cleaning the vegetables, Amelia headed over to cook.

Women hesitated before handing the kitchen over to Amelia. How could a young girl like her cook food

for hundreds of workers? They reluctantly agreed only to be amazed by Amelia's skills. In a short time,

she cooked many major dishes.

Only Amelia knew how hard she had worked with them. She even started sweating after only a few

dishes.

The turner she used was as big as the shovels in the construction site. She had to use a lot of energy

to pull it once, making her exhausted.

"Young lady, please take this and wipe your sweat," a lady said in a worried tone. Amelia could see a

towel in the woman's hand. She thanked the woman and presented her with a gentle smile.

Just as Amelia was about to use the towel, she paused and gazed at it for a moment. A scene from her

childhood flashed in her mind when her mother, Iris, had given her a towel for wiping the sweat.

"Young lady, you cook so well! Who taught you?" A voice snapped Amelia out of her thoughts, and she

looked at the curious woman.

Others whispered similar words, making Amelia the center of attention.

Amelia stretched her lips to form an awkward smile. "It was my mother."

Her face went gloomy when she thought of her mother. A month before she passed away, Amelia was

forced to cook and wash clothes. Back then, Amelia had hated such an arrangement. She hadn't

thought of focusing on anything other than studying. Iris had done everything in her power to ignite

enthusiasm in Amelia's heart.

She only realized the intention behind Iris's actions a month later. At that time, Iris left the world forever,

making Amelia independent.

Several whispers came from some women when a handsome man entered the kitchen. It snapped

Amelia out of her thoughts. She turned around to stare at the man. It was Lucian wearing a black

suit.
