Since She Met Lucian Chapter 137 Where Is Happiness

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Courtney didn't have the heart to say that it was Amelia who had signed the divorce agreement. Lucian

would have had to deal with tough problems all by himself.

"I know it in my heart. But I don't want him and me to be looked down upon by others." What Lucian

said was right. She had a heavy load in her mind. If that load did not disappear from her mind, she

could not live peacefully with him. Any relationship requires mental peace to survive.

"Is it because of Shelly?" Courtney knew what kind of person Amelia was. She always thought for

others and always felt bad for others. Amelia was a giver, not self-absorbed at all.

"There is nothing wrong to love someone. Whatever Shelly has done, Lucian should not let her down.

Even he has a part in all of this." Then Amelia went upstairs.

"Your love is so heart-warming. I have to worship Buddha every day to atone my sins," Courtney sighed

resignedly.

Amelia didn't understand what Courtney meant. After she went upstairs, she asked Courtney what she

had tried to convey.

Courtney was surprised by the question. She raised her eyebrows, opened her eyes widely and said,

"Do you remember Melissa? The lady with sleek long hair?"

"Yes, I do." It was obvious that she remembered Melissa. After all, she had an episode in the love life of

Courtney and Kent.

She remembered that Melissa was pregnant and Kent was forced to marry her. It was an unpredictable

event. But as adults they had to take a responsible decision to not harm the baby.

This caught Amelia's thought. She wondered why Kent had chosen to be with Courtney and let go of

Melissa's baby.

"Don't look at me in horror. I'm not that vicious." Noticing the change in Amelia's expression, Courtney

immediately explained, "Melissa pretended to be pregnant. But she didn't expect that Kent would find

out. All she wanted was me and Kent to break up. So that she can have him to herself."

"So what does it have to do with Lucian? How is all of this connected?" Amelia's heart twitched when

she addressed him by his name.

"Lucian was the reason why I made up with Kent," said Courtney. She was extremely grateful that

Lucian helped her. Courtney smiled and said, "I'm not the kind of woman who will go back or hold to the

old times. I rejected Kent when he tried to make up with me. He asked Lucian to tell me the truth. Then

I gave him a chance to make up with me and fix our relationship."

"So you went on your honeymoon with Kent without telling me. I thought you were open to me." She

was still indignant that Courtney had kept her in the dark.

With a sly smile, Courtney explained to Amelia, "Lucian recommended to travel. He told me that there

was still some misunderstandings between Kent and me. During the trip, we talked more freely to each

other and sorted out all the issues. It seemed like his idea would help us fix everything. After the trip,

I'm in a good relationship with him again. We talked in person and discussed all possibilities. Can't

thank Lucian enough for this."

Courtney happily narrated the details of the trip and their relationship. But she didn't notice the sadness

on Amelia's face in her excitement of explaining the entire scenario.

Lucian and Amelia still had feelings for each other. But they might not go back to the old days of being

intimate.

Jonny and Lucian sat face to face on the corner sofa in a quiet tea restaurant. With a joyful smile on his

face, Jonny let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Things have finally been completed according to the

plan. Now we can sleep well. Finally!" Then Jonny took a sip of tea leisurely after he was relieved that

everything was sorted.

Lucian was frowning since he entered the room, looking very morose. Noticing the displeasure on

Lucian's face, Jonny figured out what he was thinking about and asked, "Didn't Amelia forgive you?"

Somehow, Jonny felt a little bit joyful and couldn't help wondering if he could get Amelia's heart ahead

of Lucian.

But he became calm quickly after giving it a slight thought.

"She thought I would let Shelly down by doing so. Well, I can't read her mind," replied Lucian worriedly

while sipping the hot tea.

"Amelia always thought for others before herself. That's what's special about her. She is the most

selfless human I have met," Jonny praised her with a smile.

Lucian knew all about Amelia's character and how much effort she took for others. But he was worried

if it would make Amelia compromise for others.

"Shelly shaped herself as a victim. The media put out false accusations about Amelia and bad news

came out of nowhere all across the papers. This deepened the misunderstanding between us. Amelia

won't believe me no matter how much I explain to her. She would only believe what she sees and

hears," Lucian frowned. The more he thought about it, the more difficult it was to handle it. It seemed

like an inseparable mix of problems.

Lucian looked distressed when he spoke of his situation. Jonny took dark pleasure in his misfortune

and said, "This woman is really troublesome. You got to handle this."

Lucian pressed his lips and said nothing. His face looked solemn and he was out of words considering

the turmoil.

"Let me have a talk with Amelia. I hope it works out," suggested Jonny.

Lucian became puzzled by the idea. But he thought that they might have known each other for a while

and made up his mind to agree. He nodded and said, "Thank you!"

"Hey, you just say thank you to me for Amelia." Jonny felt extremely strange. He smiled and said

seriously, "I don't want to be the CEO of the An Group any longer. When my father realizes his

mistakes, I will return it to him. That's the best I can do for now."

Lucian knew that Jonny wanted to develop his own career path. He had always been strong headed

when it came to excelling in his career and acquiring independence.

"Anyway, try to be harmonious with your family. Your bond shouldn't be affected by all of this," Lucian

said with a slight smile.

Lucian was figuring out things on his own while speaking to Jonny. Fannie was extremely angry at his

decision while Nicholas remained neutral. After Amelia forgave Lucian, he had to persuade Fannie and

Nicholas.

Lucian received a call from Amelia when he was about to leave the cafe. He stared at her name on his

phone with a happy smile.

But he frowned unconsciously when he answered the phone.

Jonny was watching this good play with great joy on his face while sitting opposite to him. He figured

that Amelia was on call by seeing the expression on Lucian's face.

"It's been one week. Time up! You must fulfill your promise!" Amelia said angrily. She couldn't be all

alone any longer.

Lucian raised his eyebrows and answered her word by word patiently, "Of course! I will keep my

promise. Please calm down. I'll be right there."

Lucian noticed the excitement on Jonny's face when he was talking to Amelia. He made a sidelong

glance at him and said, "You're old enough to find a girlfriend."

Suddenly, it clicked that his words would have hurt Jonny. But to his surprise, Jonny smiled proudly and

said, "You're always annoyed by love. I cannot stand that. So I give up that idea."

"I used to be an envious pair with Amelia," Lucian returned reluctantly.

A hint of pain flashed in Jonny's heart. But he didn't change his expression. Instead he smiled and said,

"Go ahead, this is a long battle. I'm on your side. Don't lose her."

Lucian was about to drive to the villa in the south of the city to visit Amelia. But on the other hand, he

felt that his visit would only cause her to be more emotional and their relationship would turn more

complicated.

The priority now was to complete the divorce procedure with Shelly and clear off the misunderstanding

he held in Amelia's heart. It was no longer possible to manage both the relationships as it would only

cause more problems.

When Lucian arrived at the hospital, a nurse was cleaning up the ward and she informed that Shelly

had already been discharged from the hospital before few hours.

It was late summertime and the villa shone under the sunlight like a glazing gem. The white gauze

curtain moved with the breeze. Amelia stood in front of the large French window gluing her eyes to the

gate, hoping to see Lucian. A week had passed and her mind was paranoid without getting out of the

villa.

Amelia kept waiting for Lucian's arrival. But he hadn't reached even after her standing near the window

for two hours. Life seemed pointless to her.

"Amelia, would you like to come over and have some water?" Seeing that she was standing near the

window expecting Lucian, Courtney walked over and called her.

Amelia shook her head and was disappointed that Lucian couldn't match up to his promise. She

remembered that he promised her over the phone that he would come. But he didn't keep his word.

"In my opinion, you can live here. It is good that you can access all facilities, good food and living

condition. The scenery is very beautiful and you are anyways connected to nature. It is very suitable for

a pregnant woman," said Courtney with an intention to persuade her.

Amelia frowned tightly and shook her head without thinking after listening to Courtney.

"Every second I stay here is a torture for me. I can't do this anymore."

She hated that she would be hesitant when she had to face Lucian. She wanted to distance herself

from him. But she was extremely attracted to him and it was a tough choice.

"But we can't go out now?" Courtney threw up her hands resignedly.

"You are totally on Lucian's side now. If I want to leave, you won't help me. Why can't you try to

understand my mental state?" Amelia pretended to be aggrieved.

"The reason why I'm on his side is because I want you to be together again. I have only good

intentions," Courtney explained patiently.

Amelia just wanted to find a way to leave this place.

"It's okay to live here. But I have to live as a normal person every day. I'm going shopping. Would you

like to come along?"

Amelia knew that Courtney's favorite thing in the world was shopping. She tried to coax her in this way.

Amelia had noticed Courtney's obsession with luxe by seeing her attire and designer bags.

"Shopping?" Courtney's eyes obviously shone out of excitement. She grabbed Amelia's arm excitedly.

"Then let's go to the door and say hey to the guards. I think we should definitely go."

"Okay." Amelia nodded with relief.

There were always some coincidences in the world. Just as they reached the gate, they saw a black

limo outside. They thought it would be Lucian as he promised to come. But it turned out to be Jonny.

"Oh my God! He's so handsome!" Courtney had seen Jonny before. He was dressed in sportswear and

looked as warm as the sun. But he looked extremely cold when he took off his sunglasses, as if nobody

should approach him. Courtney couldn't stop staring at him. She was enamored by his looks.

He walked towards Amelia with a cold face as if he had come to report something important.

"Hey, long time no see, Amelia. How are you doing?" Jonny greeted gently with a sweet smile.

"Hey, you think I'm invisible?" Courtney said in an unconvinced tone. She was dissatisfied with the fact

that there was only Amelia in Jonny's eyes. Courtney wanted Jonny to notice her too.

Jonny suddenly burst into laughter and greeted with a serious look, "Miss Courtney, long time no see.

How are you doing?"

"Wow, look at you. You are not the same person anymore!" Courtney smiled slightly. She pointed at

Amelia and said to Jonny, "I have to call my boyfriend back. Take your time."

Courtney knew that Jonny came there to talk with Amelia, so she left quietly. She figured that the

matter was of much importance.

Amelia opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But when she saw Jonny, she controlled her

anger. As Amelia was a selfless person, she always had the difficulty to open up in such situations.

Amelia was thinking in her head that she had finally come up with an idea to get out and now it wouldn't

happen as Jonny arrived.
