Love in Prime Years

Chapter 42 Hide Her Embarrassment

“Mr Dominic, please, let me go...”

Amelia’s voice was hoarse and broken, liking a dying old woman. She just murmured as if she were

talking in her sleep, “Let me go...”

“Amelia!” Arthur turned the doorknob, but failed to open the door.

Arthur knew it must have been locked from the inside since it was a men’s restroom. Then he slapped

the door harder and even kicked it several times.

But the quality of the door was so good that he couldn’t open the door, even if he kicked the door with

all his strength.

Arthur was quite anxious. He had a bad feeling when Lawrence followed Amelia out of the chamber.

After asking Patrick to take care of Leigh, Arthur left the chamber. He called Amelia, but she didn’t

answer it. He just asked the waitress to check out if Amelia was in the restroom, but she wasn’t.

The closed door of the men’s restroom made Arthur suspicious.

Arthur knew how fierce and cruel Lawrence was, and Lawrence had been finding fault with Amelia

because of Arthur, so he was worried about what Lawrence would do to Amelia in the restroom!

Arthur supposed that Lawrence may kill his romantic rival Amelia in order to get him... Arthur was as

anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He felt that he was a Helen of Troy!

“Lawrence, I know you’re inside!”

Arthur continued to knock at the door, “Lawr4ence, calm down! Don’t hurt Amelia! Just open the door!”

Arthur clapped the door for a long time, but it didn’t open. He lost his patience, and then went to the

manager of the Scent Club, and asked him for the key to open the door.

The manager didn’t take the key with him. When he got the key, more than half an hour had passed.

Arthur held the key tightly in his hand and there was sweat in his hand. He was afraid that when he

opened the door, he would see the body of Amelia.

He held the key and was about to open the door when the door was suddenly opened from inside.

Before Arthur could realize what happened, Lawrence, neatly dressed, came out of the room.

But Amelia, shuddering, curled up in the corner.

“Amelia!”

Arthur walked to her in a hurry. The clothes in Amelia were not as broken as they used to be in Willow

Alley this time, but it was obvious that her clothes had been torn by others.

Seeing the red marks on Amelia’s skin, even though Arthur did not have a girlfriend yet, he knew what

happened in the restroom just now.

Hearing Arthur’s voice, Amelia raised her head numbly. She felt quite embarrassed when someone

else found that she was forced to have sex with Lawrence.

But at the same time, she felt it was fortunate that Arthur didn’t come with Leigh.

Looking into Arthur’s red eyes, Amelia turned away in panic. She didn’t know how to face him now.

She really liked Arthur as a friend. Sometimes, she would regard him as a family. So she felt distressed

at the thought of the chance that Arthur would dislike and disdain her.

Amelia had lost all her dignity in front of Lawrence before in order to make money. But she hoped she

could have her dignity retained in front of her beloved ones, like Leigh, Sapphire, Rufus and Arthur.

“Amelia, I’m sorry I’m late!”

Arthur took off his coat and put it carefully on Amelia. He was so angry about Lawrence behaviour.

“I’ll kill the bastard!”

After saying it, Arthur turned around and rushed out of the bathroom with anger.

“Mr Palmer!”

Amelia said in a low voice, “Please do me a favour and send Leigh back home. I don’t want him to see

me like this.”

Arthur felt sad for her, and then he turned around and hugged Amelia into his arms.

He hugged Amelia without the romantic affection, but the cares and worries from families.

“Amelia, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry...” Arthur murmured again and again. He had been always free and

easy, but now he was grieved for Amelia.

He felt grieved for the woman in his arms.

Amelia was stunned. She had thought that Arthur would look down upon her and throw her away in

disgust when Arthur saw her embarrassment. She never expected that he would say sorry to her again

and again and hugged her with tenderness.

“Amelia, I will have someone send Leigh back to the hospital.”

Arthur scooped Amelia up gently, as if he was holding fragile enamel doll, “Amelia, I’ll take you home.”

Thinking that she had bothered Arthur so much, Amelia was heartbroken. But she had to admit that it

would be more convenient if he took her home than she came back with a taxi like this.

Then she didn’t refuse his proposal, and let him carry her to his car.

Although Amelia had a father, she had never enjoyed the love from her father since she was a child. Mr

And Mrs Jordan gave all their love to Lillian. Amelia didn’t understand why her biological parents doted NôvelDrama.Org content.

on Lillian but disliked her so much.

Amelia thought that she would not enjoy the male love any more. It was incredible that she felt her

heart was filled with the love, which she had been lacking and longing for when she snuggled into

Arthur’s arms.

It was really embarrassing to be run across by Arthur on such an occasion. So Amelia didn’t know what

to say to Arthur after getting in his car.

It seemed that the embarrassment in Amelia’s heart could not be erased no matter what she said.

Arthur did not say a word, either. He didn’t smile as usual, and there were only anger and weariness on

his face.

Just When Amelia thought Arthur would remain silent, he suddenly said, “Amelia, let’s get married!”

Amelia raised her head in disbelief. She never expected that Arthur would propose to her.

Although Amelia didn’t want to expose her scars, she felt she had to tell her past to Arthur at this

moment.

“Mr Palmer, I can’t be with you. I...”

“Amelia, don’t tell me you don’t deserve me and I deserve a better girl!” Palmer interrupted Amelia

hurriedly, “I have told you that you are the best girl in my heart!”

“Even though you married once and have a son, or you have been forced by others, you will always be

the purest Amelia in my heart. Amelia, Marry me! Let me take care you and protect you from the

harms, will you?”

“Mr Palmer, I can’t.”

Amelia paused, and then continued, “Mr Palmer, do you know who my ex-husband is? Lawrence!”
