Addicted To Love

Sasha crossed her arms and pretended to be at a loss.

Amelia sneered at her behavior. Sasha was such a thick-skinned woman.

"Whatever it is that's going on between you and Lucian is none of my business," she said coldly.

She wasn't sure if Sasha was really telling the truth but she also couldn't help being skeptical. However, she shouldn't just panic immediately. She must do something to find out the truth first.

"I know you're upset. Actually, I am too," said Sasha. "I've already decided to be with Michael even if I don't love him. You know, it's better than to have no one at all. But on that night, I made sure to have a chance to get close to Lucian. And I didn't fail. Now, I can have the chance to start a good relationship with him." Sasha sounded very excited. She couldn't find any reason to refuse the bet because she was confident that the 5 million prize would fall into her hands.

Amelia lost her tongue all of a sudden. The expression on her face was so cold.

But no matter how bad she felt, she would never lose her composure in front of Sasha. She would never let Sasha think that she was weak and easy to bully.

"Are you messing with Michael?" Amelia asked as she gave Sasha a sharp glare.

"I'm just being practical. Don't be so naive, Amelia. People, especially women, must learn to make use of all the resources around them. In my case, Michael is my best resource. That's why I'm using him to get close to Lucian."

For Sasha, what she was doing was just a normal thing in this society. She thought that Michael was a man easy to manipulate so she was confident of using him.

Amelia, on the other hand, thought the opposite. Although she had only met Michael a few times, she could feel that he was a man that could never

gative thoughts anymore. She felt like her head would explode any moment if she continued to think.

What she needed was something to divert her emotions. She thought for a moment then she decided to clean the room. After cleaning, she went downstairs to cook dinner.

Lucian said that he would come home tonight, so she made his favorite food unconsciously.

However, it had been an hour after she finished setting the table but there was still no sign of Lucian.

"Lily, we can't wait for him. Let's just have dinner together." The slightest hope left on Amelia had vanished. She should learn to get used to this kind of situation.

Lily frowned while looking at the door from time to time. She was praying that the door would open and Lucian would come in.

"Mrs. Amelia, how about I call Mr. Lucian?" Lily asked cautiously. When Amelia didn't say no, she went to the living room and called Lucian.

Five minutes later, Lily came back.

Seeing the expression on Lily's face, Amelia already knew the answer. She didn't ask anything and just said, "Sit down and eat."

The fact was, the food on the table had been heated three times while waiting for Lucian to arrive. The pleasant aroma of the dishes had gradually disappeared. It was like the hope in Amelia's heart that's slowly melting.

"Mr. Lucian said that tonight is his classmate's birthday. He forgot to tell you not to wait for him for dinner." The chopsticks in Amelia's hand shook after she heard Lily's report.

She trembled and she suddenly felt suffocated.

Was Lucian really telling the truth? Or he was just angry at her because of what happened in the hospital?

'Classmate,' thought Amelia. 'Is it Michael?' If it was Michael's birthday, then Sasha would definitely be there too.
