Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 39

She didn’t want everyone to look down on her, and she didn’t want to become a street rat that everyone shouted at and couldn’t see the light of day.

But Lawrence didn't want to see her living under the sun, and what he wanted was cruelly take away all the light in her life.

She could guess that Arthur and the others would look at her with disdain and contempt. She was not brave after all and did not want to face so many people's scorn. She just wanted to run away now.

When she just wanted to carry Leigh from Arthur's arms and took him away from this place, Arthur directly smashed a wine bottle on the table.

His eyes, which always carried a brilliant smile, were rarely covered with frost. He looked at Lawrence and said firmly, "Lawrence, apologize to Amelia!"

Amelia turned her face suddenly and looked at Arthur incredulously. She thought he would disgust her and despise her, but she didn’t expect that he would protect her and ask Lawrence to apologize to her.

"Arthur ..." Amelia didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment. But she could only look at Arthur foolishly with tears in her eyes.

Arthur put Leigh on the side seat, and hugged Amelia into his arms. His strength was so great that he almost wanted to embed her into his body.

His voice sounded confidently in Amelia's ear and was better than all the oaths in the world.

"Amelia, I told you, with me, I will not let anyone bully you!"

"Lawrence, apologize to Amelia!"

Amelia’s tears fell uncontrollably. She looked at the man close at hand with affection. He had a pleasant baby face, so even he was 22 years old, the same year as her, she still had difficulty regarding him as an adult man.

Looking at him so close, she realized he was already an upright man.

Seeing Amelia crying, Arthur immediately panicked. He clumsily wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and gently coaxed her over and over again, "Amelia, don't cry, don't cry ..."

"As long as you don't cry, I'm willing to do whatever you want me to do. Amelia, I'll give you my heart and my life. Don't cry, okay?"

Amelia felt it was too pretentious to cry, so she forcefully wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and broke away from Arthur's arms, "Arthur, I'm fine. I just think you're so nice and warm."

"Silly girl, I love you, who am I good to if not you?"

Lawrence narrowed his eyes dangerously and stared momentarily at Arthur's hand that landed on Amelia's waist. For some reason, he felt this hand was extremely dazzling. Almost uncontrollably, he got up and wanted to break this hand.

Lillian was afraid that Lawrence would lose control again because of Amelia, so she grabbed his hand with a pleading voice, "Lawrence ..."

Lawrence seemed to be unaware of her words, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Arthur's wrist.

"Lawrence, let go of me! You are sick!" Arthur was unhappy with Lawrence tonight. But now Lawrence was inexplicably coming to grab his wrist, Arthur couldn't stand it anymore.

At that moment, he raised his other hand and swung his fist hard toward Lawrence's face. But Lawrence moved faster and more ruthlessly than Arthur, so before Arthur could touch him, Lawrence knocked Arthur’s handsome face with a fist.

Seeing Arthur got hit because of her, Amelia felt guilty. She guarded him and asked anxiously, "Arthur, how are you? Does it hurt? Let's go to the hospital!"

Looking at Amelia's anxious face, Lawrence's face became more and more ugly, and his fists clenched and rattled as if he wanted to make things worse.

Both Patrick and Preston were notoriously calm, but now seeing their best buddies hurting each other, they couldn’t sit back and watch.

Patrick glanced at Preston and said first, "Lawrence, Arthur, stop it! The food hasn’t come yet, come on, let's have some fun first!"

After saying that, Patrick took out a deck of cards from behind his back and took out a beautiful cardboard chamber.

"Let's play Dare! Whoever loses will draw lots from inside the cardboard chamber, and he should do whatever the lots said!"

After saying this, he pulled Arthur and Lawrence to their seats immediately.

Arthur was still angry, but Leigh was still there, he didn’t want to scare the child. So he followed Patrick's suggestion, and played the Dare game with them.

Arthur felt he was unlucky tonight because he lost badly on the first try. But after drawing lots, he thought he was too lucky. Because the paper he drew said that he should kiss a person in the chamber.

There were only two women in the chamber. And Lillian was his sister, and everyone would not expect them kiss, so the person he would kiss would definitely be Amelia.

Arthur rubbed his hands and was so excited. Amelia was reluctant to accept him, but he heard that kissing was the easiest way to enhance feelings. So tonight, if they kissed affectionately, they would surely be in love for the rest of their lives.

"Kissing!" Patrick glanced at the paper in Arthur's hand and deliberately glanced at Amelia, "Arthur couldn’t do it by himself, who is willing to cooperate with Arthur?"

"I declare first, I will not cooperate with him! I don't like this!"

Preston indifferently lifted his eyelids and said, "I am not a hard-core either."

Arthur was happy to hear this. He turned his face and looked at Amelia embarrassedly, "Amelia, they are not willing to cooperate with me, what should I do?"

Before Amelia could answer, Arthur said excitedly, "Amelia, how about you cooperate with me?"

"Miss Amelia, why don't you cooperate with Arthur? If he doesn’t finish the task on the paper, he will have to run naked in Harper City tonight! Can you bear to see him embarrassed in front of all the people of Harper City?" Patrick raised his eyelids, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

Amelia wanted to refuse at first. But when she heard Patrick's words, she couldn't say that.

After struggling for a long time, Amelia decided to cooperate with Arthur for the time being. Anyway, it was just a kiss, and it didn’t mean anything. And she would explain everything clearly with Arthur after they left.

"Arthur, I will cooperate ..." Before Amelia could finish her words, Lawrence deadpanned, "Let me cooperate with you!"
