Love in Prime Years

"No matter what, Amelia is our guest at the end of the day. You don't treat a Dominics' guest like that." "Ellen..."

Embarrassment, mixed with bitterness, made tears dribble down from her eyes.

But that only disgusted Ellen even more. Weeping is all these hypocritical bitches could do. Displeased, Ellen rolled her eyes. she would've gone harder on Lillian if she weren't Jude's daughter. Lawrence stared at Amelia and Arthur hatefully as he wrapped Lillian into his arms.

"Ellen, Lillian was trying to be nice. She just didn't want Arthur to get conned by a liar."

Arthur wouldn't aloow Lawrence to vilify Amelia.

He sneered. "Lawrence, who are you implying? Let's see who'll get conned at the end. By then, don't come and cry to me.

He ignored Lawrence then. Gently, he dragged Amelia back to her seat.

"Amelia, it's my turn to feed you now."

Arthur picked a chunk of fish and raised it to her mouth.

Amelia wanted to refuse. But when she opened her mouth to say the words, Arthur put the fish in her mouth. now that the fish was in her mouth, she could not just spit it out but swallow it. Lawrence looked daggers at them. if she dare to eat the fish, he'll...

Gritting his teeth, Lawrence thought about ways to punish Amelia if she ate the fish. But Arthur had tucked the fish into Amelia's mouth before he could think of one. How dare her

Didn't she know that there's saliva of Arthur's remaining on the chopsticks? They just kissed indirectly?

But she had slept with Arthur already before. God knows how she let him ride her in bed. What's the big deal about a kiss then?

Lawrence clenched his fists tightly at the thought of Amelia having sex with Arthur.

Subconsciously, he grabbed something. But he didn't notice it was Lillian's cup he was grabbing, not even when the cup broke in his palm and cut him to bleed. "Lawrence, your hand!"

He came back to himself when Lillian shrieked.

He didn't want to worry Heathway, so he hid his hand behind himself without anyone's notice.

Heathway was too engrossed in the roses a maid brought up that she didn't notice the anomaly of Lawrence at all.

Respectfully, the maid presented the cluster to Amelia. "You look beautiful today, Miss Amelia."

Puzzled, Amelia took the flowers. What's happening? Who sent her flowers?

Another maid entered the room with another cluster of flowers before she could straighten it out. "Miss Amelia, you're best girl in the world."

Soon, more maids came, all with roses and compliments, and left after they gave Amelia the flowers.

In the blink of an eye, the living room became a sea of flowers.

Amelia was still confused. But when she saw the glimmer in Arthur's eyes, she understood instantly what's happening.

Once again, a maid came in with rose. She looked at Amelia, all smiles. "Look outside, Miss Amelia. It's more beautiful than here."

Amelia looked outside as the maid

told her and found a group of kids in the yard. Every one of them was clutching à cluster of roses in their arms And what were even more beautiful than the flowers were the smiles on their faces.

"Miss Amelia, Mr. Arthur says he loves you."

"Miss Amelia, would you be Mr. Arthur's girlfriend?"

"Give Mr. Arthur a chance, Miss Amelia!"

Amelia drifted into the yard. Looking at all those innocent smiles, she found herself unable to refuse.

If she weren't dying, she thought, she would run into Arthur's arms without hesitation.

She would try to love him for the rest of her life.

But there's no such thing as "if" in this world. It's a shame.

So, she could not hug him as she told him how sweet this was even though she was deeply moved.

Then she heard the drone of

helicopters. She raised her head and

saw a cloth saying "I love you,

Amelia" Kung between two

helicopters. Fire balloons fo

behind the helicopters, each pair hanging the same cloth as the

helicopter hung.

Meanwhile, the Led displayer hung on the highest building in Harper City displayed Arthur's statement of love.

I love you, Amelia.

Now, the whole city knew that there was a young man asking a girl called Amelia for her love today.

A kid gave his rose to Arthur. Arthur took the flower and then walked up to Amelia nervously and excitedly.

"Amelia, I like you, I like you so much. The moment we met, I fell in love with you. Amelia, could you be my girlfriend." Amelia wanted to refuse him, but at the same time she didn't want to embarrass him in front of so many people.

Arthur said again while she was thinking about how to soften her refusal. "Amelia, I know you are

going to say that you need some et

time to think about it. But I don't to

want to give you any more time. I want to seize every second can have with you."

"Amelia, let go of all the worries and concerns. I won't let you down, I promise."

He said as he lowered his face. He wanted to end this romance with a affectionate kiss.

He felt something weird after he kissed for a moment. he opened his eyes and found that it was a man's hand that he was kissing! Lawrence's hand!000
