Addicted To Love

The hug that Amelia offered was only out of politeness and nothing else.

When she withdrew from Michael's embrace, she caught sight of the worried look on Lily's face. She averted her gaze and saw Lucian, holding the ladder.

Her mouth agape, she was rendered speechless.

Sweating profusely, she took Mark from Lily. Affectionately, she carried her son. "Mark, mom's back!"

Michael couldn't help but be moved at this touching scene. As he stood aside, he looked at Mark who looked exactly like Lucian. He commented, "Mark, you're so handsome!"

Lucian put down the long ladder and walked up to Amelia. The look on his face was unreadable.

Despite the blank look on Lucian's face, Amelia could still feel her heart beating a mile a minute.

Even though Lucian kept calm on the outside, on the inside, his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

"Lily, take Mark away!" It seemed that Lucian was on the verge of breaking down. His low voice was thunderous.

Taken aback, Amelia was not pleased when she heard that Lucian had asked Lily to take Mark away.

"Lucian, let me be clear about this: Mark is my son. You have no right to forbid me from seeing my own son!" She hadn't seen Mark for days. When she had come here in the morning, she was soaking wet from the rain and Lucian was so cold to her.

She tried her best to fight back.

"So you want to take Mark away?" Lucian let out a laugh before he said snidely, "What's next?

e in the Zhan mansion but Lily's been the one taking care of Mark ever since he was born. So I brought her here with me." 'Nicholas owns the house after all. I need to ask for his permission first. It's only polite,' she thought to herself.

"Greetings, Mr. Nicholas." Lily bowed to him respectfully.

Nicholas looked at Lily and said with a smile, "Don't worry. You don't need to ask. I'm fine with it."

In Nicholas's mind, this was Amelia's home now which meant that she didn't really need to ask for his permission anymore.

Still, he appreciated how polite Amelia was as it showed how much she still respected him.

Fortunately, Nicholas didn't ask about Lucian. That would have been quite difficult to answer.

During dinner, it was inevitable that Nicholas would ask about Lucian and Fannie. After all, he hadn't mentioned them for quite a while now.

Lily froze when she heard Nicholas mention Fannie, a guilty look on her face. Thankfully, Amelia answered for her.

"They're fine," Amelia answered perfunctorily.

"That's good. I guess you can't stay with Fannie in the SJ Garden, can you?" All of a sudden, Nicholas's eyes became sharp. He squinted as he carefully watched Lily's face for a reaction.

Amelia was quick to notice this. She already knew that Nicholas was trying to dig for more information. Keeping her composure, she said with a smile, "Lucian's been busy lately. In a few days, he's coming to pick up me and Mark."
