Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 54

Love filled their hearts with the sparks of passionate love, similar to how fireworks brightened up the sky.

Romance embraced the couple.

Lucian reluctantly pulled away, afraid that Amelia would be out of breath.

His hot breath tickled her tender skin, making her lower lip quiver.

Before Amelia could react, Lucian took two steps back and knelt on one knee, taking out the ring he had prepared in advance. His eyes carried a trace of affection when he gazed at her. "Amelia, will you marry me?"

Amelia's breath was stuck in her throat after seeing him. After looking at the sincere emotion on Lucian's face, a flush of warmth flooded her heart.

"I know I had forced you to wear the wedding ring back then, but this one is a token of my love for you." Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Lucian added.

"Get up." Amelia was so moved that her voice sounded breathless.

Seeing her respond like that, his shoulders tensed. Lucian held up the dazzling diamond ring, expectation glinting in his eyes.

"What a waste of money!" Amelia frowned and glared at him.

Lucian relaxed after hearing her tone. He put the ring on Amelia's finger and kissed her again.

Amelia snuggled in his arms. The feeling of bliss overflowed her heart.

Although she had seen such an event on TV, she hadn't expected to go through with it for real. Her heart flooded with the waves of excitement.

"Doesn't it feel strange to wear rings in all your fingers?" Amelia held her hand and looked at the fingers intently. She knew these diamond rings must have been expensive, even though she had no idea about its details. Seeing him get another costly ring on an impulse, Amelia thought that Lucian wasn't good at managing finance.

Lucian was still thinking about what to do with the ring. Then an idea popped up in his mind. He attached the ring on a necklace from another box and put it around Amelia's neck.

She lowered her head and smiled.

This man could handle any problem.

"There! Now you won't lose this ring." Lucian stared at her for a moment and nodded in satisfaction.

Amelia's face was red like a beautiful rose blooming under sunlight.

This night was destined to be blissful for them.

The couple cuddled on the beach, watching the beautiful fireworks. They were the happiest people in the world.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when Lucian and Amelia finally arrived at the SJ Garden. Lucian parked the car and turned to look at his sleeping wife. He picked her up, bringing her sleeping figure to the bedroom.

Amelia woke up at noon. The first thing she noticed was the sweater she was wearing. Her eyes narrowed. Didn't she have a coat on her body yesterday? A faint blush crept on her cheeks, thinking the romantic moments she had with Lucian last night. He wasn't beside her. A thought flashed in her head, they had to head over to the Mo mansion today.

What Amelia didn't know was that Lucian was taking a bath. She rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Looking at a naked man bathing in the shower, she froze.

Her wide eyes stared at Lucian's firm back.

How could Lucian be ignorant of his wife's movements? The corners of his mouth quirked up, but he continued to rub soap on his body as if he was alone.

Her face slowly turned pink, and she closed the door behind her. She heaved a sigh of relief, thinking he hadn't noticed her, running back to the bed.

Lucian walked out with only a white towel around his waist, pausing to see his wife inside the quilt. A teasing smile flashed on his lips. He sneakily walked toward her and pulled the quilt, finding her fast asleep. She was facing her back to him.

His smile widened. He laid down beside her, putting his arm around her waist.

Just as she thought she was good at pretending, a sweet fragrance filled her nose, making her heart leap up to the throat.

Lucian paused for a moment before he turned her over to face him. The gesture was so frightening that she forgot to breathe for a moment. She was trying her best to keep her eyes shut, but she couldn't stop her lips from pressing in a thin line.

He chuckled at her expressions and said, "If you keep pretending, I'm not sure if I'll be..."

"No!" Opening her eyes, she cast a nervous glance at him.

The first thing she saw was Lucian's teasing smile that was too close to her face.

She couldn't look in his eyes. Warmth in her heart spread across every part of her body. His face was way too enchanting.

Amelia was pleased after seeing him like this after waking up but shocked at the close proximity. She didn't even know where to keep her hands.

The closeness affected Lucian too, who was busy imagining a million things he could do with her. He caressed her cheek and swallowed, saying in a low magnetic voice, "You are so beautiful."

Amelia's face turned pinkish. She wanted to hide inside the quilt, but she dared not to move. She felt trapped under Lucian's loving gaze.

Before she could even think of a possible reaction, he chuckled and said in a husky voice, "All right, let's get up." Lucian stood up and went to grab his clothes.

Looking at Lucian's back, Amelia gulped her saliva. If she said she wasn't affected by what happened, she would be lying. Seeing him change, her blush deepened. She would be subjected to the scene in front of her every day in the future.

"Your father called when you were sleeping." Lucian adjusted his coat and turned to cast her a pleasant smile. Amelia couldn't even afford to blink. Why did he have to look so perfect in a suit?

Every time she looked at him, he seemed to become even more handsome. By the time she went into the kitchen, Lucian had arranged the food on the table.

Amelia knew Lucian hated waiting the most. She sat on her chair, swallowing a mouthful of food at once. Seeing her in a hurry, he frowned, "Take your time, Amelia. What's the rush?"

She looked at him in confusion. Wasn't he supposed to urge her to eat faster? How did he change his mind?

Before she could open her mouth, he smiled and said, "You don't have to rush to the company today. We can set off once you're done."

Her wide eyes stared at him for a long time. Was he the same Lucian she knew? An affectionate smile plastered on his face as he stared at her in love. He was patiently waiting for her!

Amelia sat back at the table and began to chew every morsel of the food. After eating, Lucian covered her shoulders with a warm coat. "It's cold outside."

Lily's eyes sparkled when she saw their exchange. "Mr. Lucian, Mrs. Amelia, you are so sweet!"

Amelia squatted to wear the shoes, pretending as if she heard nothing.

They walked toward the car, and before she could do anything, Lucian opened the door for her. Just as she entered, he got in and fastened her seat-belts, startling her from head to toe.

He started the engine, and she turned to face him. "Lucian, why are you treating me so well today?" Amelia couldn't hold her curiosity, her heart spamming with surprise and bliss.

Lucian only focused on his driving. "I don't treat people well if I don't love them."

It was as if he had stated a fact.

Truthfully, he meant everything he said. His affectionate words turned Amelia's cheeks red. Her shy glance scanned his face. The guy looked focused and calm. Did he even realize just how sweet his words sounded to her?

By the time they reached, she was surprised to see the number of gifts Lucian had prepared for the Mo family. It included a gift for Vernon, the beauty care products for Sophia, and the nourishing items that Yolanda needed during her pregnancy.

Amelia was stunned to see the size of the bags, and she rushed to help him.

"Lucian, Amelia, you are here!" As soon as they entered the door, Vernon stood up and greeted them happily.

Seeing that Vernon's health had improved, a smile spread across Amelia's lips. "Dad, you look great."

"You can thank Lucian. He hired a maid for us and asked the doctor to check on me every day. He also arranged some nutritionists for me. Getting rid of my health issues was a piece of cake," Vernon said happily.

Amelia turned to look at Lucian in surprise. She didn't know what to say.

Her husband had done so much for her behind her back.

"Why are you still standing like a fool? Come in!" Vernon had a warm smile on his face.

Just as Lucian and Amelia sat in the living room, they heard someone's footsteps. Amelia looked up to see Sophia walking at them with an elegant smile. Her hips swayed right and left as she walked.

Amelia looked at her in disgust. She averted her eyes and focused on Lucian.

"Look, who's here? If I knew Lucian was going to come, I wouldn't have planned to hang out with my friends," said Sophia. Her surprised eyes gazed at Lucian for a long time, before shifting her focus at Amelia. Sophia squinted her eyes at the girl sitting on the couch. "Amelia, this is all your fault. You should've informed us in advance before coming to the Mo mansion."

Amelia didn't understand the dark meaning behind Sophia's playful words. Instead of reciprocating, Amelia said in a cold voice, "Lucian and I are not rare guests. Besides, I came back to see my father."

She hated Sophia to death. If it weren't for Vernon, Amelia would banish her.
