Addicted To Love

"Mrs. Amelia is so lucky! Did you see how Lucian had his arm around her waist and kept looking at her with those eyes? Oh my god, I'm so single..."

"So Mrs. Amelia is pregnant!"

"Looks like she's about four or five months pregnant... But she's so thin though! I wonder how she and the baby will do."

Whenever Amelia attended banquets with Lucian, a lot of people would talk and gossip among themselves. At this point, she was already quite used to it. There was always a smile on her face when she passed by everyone. As long as Lucian was by her side, she felt that she had nothing to worry about.

"Lucian, Amelia. Welcome!" Jasper greeted enthusiastically, spreading his arms widely with a big smile on his face.

Overhearing the other guests' chatter, Yolanda scanned the hall and walked over to them in her high heels. Upon seeing Amelia's bulging belly, Yolanda raised an eyebrow at her. "You're pregnant?" she asked in surprise.

"Is it that obvious?" Amelia joked, stroking her belly.

At the moment, Jasper also came up to them with a cheeky grin. "Amelia. Lucian, Congratulations!" Jasper exclaimed.

"Thank you," Lucian replied calmly.

"You look like you're already in your second trimester..." Yolanda stated, her eyes filled with puzzlement.

"That's right. I'm already five months in," Amelia replied with a nod.

"Five months? But you..." Yolanda sneered, hesitating to continue. Taking a deep, long breath, she glanced at Lucian and then back at Amelia. "If I remember correctly, you were with Jonny five months ago," she sai

od that Yolanda's words were a little excessive, but as a stepfather, he should not say too much or else Yolanda would feel that he was intentionally partial to Amelia.

Over the years, Amelia had had other people berate her. Even so, Vernon never seemed to make a move to protect her. It was as if Vernon treated Yolanda as his biological daughter more that he did with Amelia.

"Come on, everyone is here. Let's start!" Jasper sat beside Yolanda, took the child from her and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Watch the baby's head! Make sure you support it well," Amelia said instinctively. After all, it was a newborn baby. Seeing Jasper hold the baby so haphazardly made Amelia extremely nervous.

"Okay, I got it." Jasper gave her a smile and did as she said. He was so unskilled that his face was twisted with confusion.

"Well... you're such a baby expert now, aren't you? Really prepared to take on motherhood," Yolanda commented, her voice dripping with sarcasm. She took a quick glance at Amelia, as if she wanted to see her response.

However, Amelia didn't care about that at all. When she saw the dishes on the table, she smiled at Lucian. "The baby and I are getting really hungry from all this delicious looking food!"

It was rare for her to act like a spoiled child in front of others. So, Lucian thoughtfully put some food into her bowl. "In that case, you better eat up. I can't let the two of you starve."

Although their conversation was normal between them, it was so sweet to hear for the other people who were able to listen in.
