Chapter 283 What About Me And Our Baby

Amelia looked around her, confused. The host stepped forward to the center of the stage and called for the bridegroom. At the sound of Lucian's name, she snapped out of her bewildered daze.

Her guess was right. This was no make-up launch event, after all—it was a surprise wedding ceremony arranged by Lucian!

The solemn wedding march started playing, and Amelia found herself trembling at the romance of it all. Her tremulous gaze found Lucian, who was smiling at her gently.

Lily, who was wearing a purple dress, came up to her with a reassuring smile. She touched Amelia's arm and whispered, "Mrs. Amelia, don't be nervous. I'll be right beside you."

Lily's voice had a way of soothing other people's worries, and it did reassure Amelia. Even so, she still felt nervous, faced with such a luxurious and romantic scene and all of the guests present.

When the host called the bride's father to the stage, Amelia's heart tightened. She was sure that Vernon was still in prison. How could he attend the wedding?

Her musings were interrupted when she saw Nicholas being wheeled toward the platform and looking resplendent in a black suit.

Far from reassuring her, the sight of Nicholas made Amelia even more nervous.

As he approached her with Darren pushing his chair, Amelia's thoughts were churning. Her hands clenched into fists, and her heart was pounding madly.

In spite of the pressure that she felt at that moment, Amelia tried to calm her racing heart as she moved forward to meet Nicholas as arranged by the host. Side by side, they withdrew from the stage.

As the host gave a passionate speech with the romantic background music playing, Amelia stood on the flower-covered path and savored the salty sea breeze. Slowly, her heart settled down, and an indescribable excitement filled her.

From the other side of the stage, Lucian approached her, a

Amelia, and so she lost her backer.

Then, she accidentally overheard that Lucian and Amelia were to be married today. She actually had no intentions of ruining the wedding and knew full well that she wouldn't succeed in doing so on her own. At least she could throw a monkey wrench to Lucian's plans and vent her anger.

"Ok, you're pregnant with Lucian's baby. So what?" With a look of disdain on her face, Courtney continued haughtily, "Your penchant for being the other woman is laughable. You've tried and failed to seduce Lucian countless times, and maybe you did succeed once. You thought that fact was your entrance ticket to the Zhan family, but unfortunately, Lucian had just married Amelia, the daughter of the family. Good luck in daydreaming about joining the Zhan family, because that's never going to happen in real life!"

Stunned, Sasha could only stammer, "W-what do you mean?" Sasha's face drained of color, and she stared at Courtney, uncomprehending.

If Amelia was the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, how could she marry Lucian as the daughter of Zhan family? Were the gossip articles actually true?

"If you really want an explanation, you might want to step down while I'm asking lightly. Or we can do this the hard way," said Lucian in a cold voice, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Sasha.

"Lucian!" Sasha implored, shocked at the cold shoulder Lucian was giving her. "Please think about the baby inside me! You get to have a happy family; what about me and our child?"

"Stop your acting right now!" Courtney exploded. "You know exactly what happened that time." Courtney reached out and gave Sasha a push. At that point, she felt like Lucian and Amelia couldn't deal with the situation, so she took it upon herself to help out. "You're pathetic and shameless, coming here to ruin this happy occasion for everyone. Get out, now!"
