Addicted To Love

It looked like a game in which she had the upper hand.

Seeing her arrogance, Amelia fell speechless.

She was definitely enjoying flaunting her superiority.

"You're Amelia, right?" The girl threw Amelia a disdainful look. "I'm so sorry that Lucian has been away from you because of me. But he owed me. Please forgive him."

"How can you say that so carelessly? Do you know that what you're doing is making Lucian feel guilty? He has a wife and a baby!" Jonny was so enraged that he punched the wall behind the girl. He looked like a wild animal ready to devour.

The girl shook in fright after Jonny's punch missed her cheek by a few inches. She took a step back and felt aggrieved. "Lucian said that he wanted to make up for the mistakes he did in the past. I'm not making this up!"

"Did Lucian really say that?" Astonished, Amelia looked at the girl, thinking that she must have misheard her.

The girl could only nod. Recovering from the earlier shock, she looked at Amelia and smiled. "Lucian said that he was worried about me. He takes good care of me, you know. At first, I just wanted him to make up for everything he did. I didn't want to interfere with his life. But it was him who said that I wouldn't have to worry about anything ever again since he showed up."

The girl wouldn't hide the happiness in her voice. On the contrary, she took great pleasure when she saw th

d, "Are you insane? If you were this good at acting, why didn't you become an actress? Is this how you get people's sympathy?"

Seeing Claire's tears, Amelia felt uncomfortable in the situation. Claire had just threatened her moments earlier, and now she was on her knees and crying. Amelia thought that she'd win an award for acting if she entered the entertainment industry.

"Mrs. Amelia..."

"You have nothing to beg of her!" a familiar voice shouted and made Amelia quiver.

Although she knew that she didn't do anything wrong, she felt guilty and shuddered all over.

It was Lucian. When did he come? How long had he been watching them?

Did Claire set her up? Did she act like a bullied little sheep to make Amelia look like a vicious woman?

"Oh, Lucian, you're here..." Claire said as she rushed into his arms and cried, "Lucian, I thought you've left me again..."

Before Amelia could fully recover from what just happened, she saw Claire clinging to Lucian, her face buried in his chest like an innocent victim who had found refuge.

Any man who would see the tears falling from Claire's eyes would instantly feel sorry for her.

"Don't be afraid. It's all right," Lucian comforted Claire in a gentle voice as he helped her walk into the hotel room.

Watching him ignore her existence and hearing him comfort another woman completely broke Amelia's heart into pieces.
