Since She Met Lucian Chapter 109 The Relationship Between Ex-husband And Ex-wife

Amelia didn't want anything to do with Lucian anymore, but she couldn't help herself but fall for his
gentle demeanor. She felt like there was no escape in this senseless struggle.

Lucian looked around with a blank expression on his face, but his eyes were clear. The anger that he
felt earlier seemed to have disappeared.

"We only have cakes and pastries to eat here. If you're hungry, you can have lunch in the building
opposite of here. They sell meals over there," Amelia stated out of nowhere. She thought he might be
hungry. She couldn't help herself to care for Lucian.

Upon seeing her caring nature once again, Lucian joyfully smiled. He looked at the clock and said,
"There's still an hour left before you go back to work. We still have enough time to go out and eat lunch
together."

Not only did Lucian know where Amelia worked, but he also knew her daily schedule.

"You can go ahead and eat. I still need to clean up here," Amelia replied.

"Let me help you then," Lucian offered. Lucian suddenly snatched the rag from Amelia's hand and
immediately started to wipe the table.

Amelia was shocked by what he did. She wondered why Lucian would do such a thing.

"Aren't you busy with your family business, Mr. Lucian?" Amelia woefully asked with a frown on her
face.

"You traded our marriage for the Zhan Group. Of course, I'm busy." Lucian blurted out those words, but
quickly realized that he shouldn't have.



Lucian thought that saying those kinds of things would only make the burden that Amelia was carrying,
much more heavier. He felt extremely regretful.

Hearing Lucian's words left Amelia speechless. It made her remember the inexplicable grievances that
she tried so hard to forget. Because he was telling the truth, she did leave him and cancelled their
marriage to save the Zhan Group.

But her efforts were useless and she had to force the man she loved to make a difficult decision.

Lucian tried to ease Amelia's troubles by saying, "Don't forget that there's another human being in your
belly now. You don't want to starve him, do you? So let's go and have lunch now." He then threw away
the rag that he was holding in his hand and looked at Amelia's belly with interest.

When Amelia realized that Lucian was staring right at her belly, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and
self-conscious. This made her cheeks blush while she placed her hands around her belly in a futile
attempt to cover it.

His reason made it hard for Amelia to refuse his offer. She then glanced at the time and thought that
one hour was indeed enough for them to eat. So, she simply nodded at him in agreement.

They chose to eat at a small restaurant nearby. The place wasn't luxurious but it had a decent
ambiance to it. The moment they entered, they heard a very popular love song playing which made
them feel somewhat awkward yet amused. To not make the atmosphere more uncomfortable, they
quickly walked towards a table.

As usual, Lucian chose to sit by the window which had always been Amelia's preference. She sat down
and gazed at the potted plant near the window.

It was the only thing she could do to ease her mind about their embarrassing conversation earlier.



Lucian then ordered dishes that were all suitable for pregnant women. Since Amelia loved spicy dishes,
he still ordered some but specifically asked the waiter to lessen the spiciness of their food.

Amelia was deeply moved by Lucian's care for her. She tried her best to remain calm even though her
heart was extremely touched by his actions.

"Are you suffering from morning sickness recently?" Lucian asked in a gentle tone. And before she
could answer, the dishes they ordered had arrived and were placed on their table. Lucian then went on
to cut Amelia's food for her.

Amelia felt uncomfortable with his gesture. She forcefully put a smile on her face and took her
chopsticks. She then said, "Thanks, but I can do it myself."

Her actions made Lucian feel dejected. But even though he felt that way, he continued to smile at her
and listen to her talk.

During their meal, they only said a few words to each other. Lucian didn't eat much. He just stared at
Amelia's face, as if he would never get tired of looking at her.

Amelia certainly felt his gaze. But she just kept her head down and ate ceaselessly until she was full. It
was certainly a different feeling not to be judged on how much she ate by the man in front of her.

"Are you done?" Lucian asked when he saw Amelia put her chopsticks down on her bowl.

She then wiped her mouth with her table napkin and nodded at him. Amelia's eyes glanced at Lucian's
untouched food then curiously asked, "Why didn't you eat that much?"

With her simple question, Lucian couldn't contain his excitement. He felt like his heart was like a reed
being heavily blown by the wind.



Full of joy, Lucian smiled and affectionately said, "Because these meals aren't as delicious as the ones
you cook."

Amelia couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She honestly thought that he was only teasing her.

"Come on. I'll walk you back." Lucian didn't want to upset Amelia, so he stood up and walk her back to
the milk tea shop opposite of the restaurant.

As soon as they arrived at the shop, Amelia remembered that Lucian hadn't eaten that much. She
couldn't help but feel guilty so she gave him a pastry for when he got hungry later.

"Did you make this?" Lucian asked, seemingly full of astonishment. He knew that Amelia was good at
cooking but didn't expect her to be good at making desserts as well. He took a bite of the pastry and
immediately gave a thumbs up before exclaiming, "My wife is amazing!"

They both knew that he didn't mean that. But still, they both felt embarrassed.

Amelia remembered the time when they were together. Whenever Lucian would call her his wife, she
would be filled with joy. But now, hearing it again only caused her sadness.

At quarter past three, the first guest came to the shop. It was Amelia's foreign friend. He greeted
Amelia in fluent Chinese. And like yesterday, he ordered a glass of lemon black tea and a slice of
tiramisu.

Because he was a regular, Amelia was able to prepare his order a lot quicker. Her practice seemed to
have paid off.

"Wow! It's so delicious. Not only are you a beautiful woman, but you're also a wonderful cook," the
foreigner uttered. The foreign friend was ecstatic about his food and gave a thumbs up to Amelia.



Hearing the praise caused Amelia utter joy. His encouragement gave her the motivation to continue
doing her best at work.

"Thank you!" Amelia exclaimed with a big smile on her face.

Lucian quietly sat at the corner table. He hadn't seen such a charming smile on Amelia's face for such
a long time. For some reason, it placed a wide smile on his face as well.

"Are you still single?" the foreigner suddenly asked.

His question surprised Amelia. The smile on her face instantly went away. Then suddenly, a male voice
behind her replied in a somewhat agitated manner, "She's my wife."

The foreigner looked right at Lucian. Then he raised his eyebrow in suspicion and asked, "I can already
tell that you're rich by what you're wearing. But why do you let your wife work in a place like this?"

The foreign friend's observations were subtle, but somewhat accurate.

Lucian stood up and walked towards Amelia. He then smiled and said, "Because she likes it." After
that, he reached out his hand and intimately wrapped it around her waist.

Amelia's face was full of embarrassment but she still went along with Lucian's act. Partly because she
was still in shock by her foreign friend's question.

"So that's why! I can see that you love your wife very much." The man smiled and added in a playful
tone, "But be careful, if you leave your wife, I'll go right after her."

'He is indeed a foreigner. No one here would be that outspoken,' Amelia thought to herself.

The blush on Amelia's cheeks was still so apparent, so she lowered her head to try and hide it. She
didn't know what to do in these kinds of situations.



"Even if she was single, she might not fall for you. After all, I'm the only one in her heart," Lucian
answered with a serious look on his face.

Amelia and Lucian were only inches apart, so she could deeply feel the sincerity in his words when he
said that he was the only one in her heart.

'How could he be so confident?' Amelia asked in her head. But he was right, he was the only man she
loved.

"Well then, may you have your baby soon and grow old happily together!" the foreign friend exclaimed.

"Thank you for your good wishes and I hope you find a partner soon," Lucian replied with a gentle smile
yet with a cold, hollow tone.

After their conversation, the foreigner left. Then Amelia suddenly gave Lucian a resentful glance and
scolded him. "He was my first customer. He gives me a lot of encouragement for my work. Now he'll
never come back again because of what you just did."

"He's just a customer. If you need someone to encourage you, I'll come here every day if you want,"
Lucian shamelessly replied with a brazen smile on his face.

Amelia couldn't help but step back. She then started to clean the table.

"Amelia?" Carlotta, who was standing at the door, called hesitantly. It seemed like she didn't expect to
see Lucian there.

Lucian winked at Carlotta and coughed. He then turned to Amelia and quietly whispered, "Amelia, we
have a guest."



Amelia turned around immediately and was about to greet the customer but realized that it was just
Carlotta. She still smiled and warmly greeted her. "Carlotta, please come in."

Carlotta was dressed in a cotton-linen attire. Her long black hair was curled up with a hairpin. She
looked simple but elegant.

"Good afternoon, please take a seat," Amelia uttered. Carlotta looked at Lucian with a gentle smile on
her face.

"Uh..." Amelia didn't know what to tell Carlotta.

"Hello, I'm Amelia's ex-husband. Your store looks wonderful and has quite a unique style. I'm sure a lot
of customers usually love to spend their time here." Lucian calmly introduced himself.

"Ex-husband?" Carlotta repeated in disbelief. Carlotta thought that Lucian seemed quite sly for
immediately changing the topic after introducing himself as Amelia's ex-husband.

She raised her eyebrows and looked to Amelia to confirm if it was true.

Full of embarrassment from what he said, Amelia glared at Lucian.

"Well then, thank you for coming to One Meter Sunshine!" Carlotta joyfully said and reached out her
hand.

Lucian shook hands with Carlotta and thanked her for warmly welcoming him. He then turned to look at
Amelia and asked softly, "Miss Carlotta, can I also shake hands with Miss Amelia?"

Although it was quite a polite request, Amelia sensed that Lucian had other motives with that.

She was worried about what Lucian might try to do. She was in no mood to be teased right now.



In a moment's hesitation, she immediately felt Lucian's warm large hands grab her own. She then
looked up and suddenly met Lucian's loving gaze. Her heart was up in knots. Her nervousness made it
hard for her to breath.

"Ahem, if you two continue to be some love birds, I might have to go and visit the other branches first,"
Carlotta teasingly said. Carlotta then walked out of the shop and left on her bicycle.

"Carlotta!" Amelia shouted, but Carlotta was already too far to hear her.
