Lucia sensed Paul s anger She hurriedly held his arm and said, Paul, come with me I need to talk to you
Then, she pulled Paul s arm and led him to the other side
“Paul. I failed to contact you today, so I brought Janet and Timothy here first And we ran into August in the park You know that August brought Janet back when she got lost last time And Janet said that she wanted to play with him So, I."
Paul showed depress in his eyes But he soon regained his composure He smiled at Lucia and said softly, “It s okay I thought he was forcing you
Lucia shook her head and said, “He didnt"
Paul said smilingly, “Lets go The kids are waiting’
Then, he put his arm around Lucias shoulder and they walked towards the dining table together Dad. what took you so long”
As soon as Paul approached the kids, Timothy looked up at him and asked
Paul was still a little depressed But he hid his feelings and kept smiling. He stroked the boy s little head and explained in a relaxing tone,
"Dad was tied up by business I apologize to you for failing to arrive in time."
Timothy giggled It s okay We had great fun today"
Paul smiled and sat opposite August He didn't look straight at August until now He said, President Adams, I owe you my gratitude for looking after my wife and kids today I wish I could treat you to a meal next time Please do accept
August looked up His eyes had shown hostility After he heard how Paul called him, his face went darker No, thanks Just a lift of
finger”
Then, he turned to the kids and said, 'l had great fun with you kids today If I got the chance, I'll treat you cakes"
Saying, he wiped his hand with a tale napkin and stood up
He looked at Paul and said with less warmth and more coldness Since Mr Thomas has arrived, I wont be a nuisance”
Then, he strode to leave
Lucia looked up at the mans retreating figure and heaved a sigh of relief
Paul really freaked her out just now She had never seen him being so angry at least for the past five years
She took a deep breath and asked. Paul, you want something to drink”
Paul answered, "No, thanks Have you guys finished the dishes”
"Almost *
“Okay, I Il pay the bill *
Soon, a waiter came over and said to Paul Sorry, sir The mister dined at the table just now had paid the bill .*
Hearing this, Paul showed more displease on his face
After coming out of the restaurant, the kids had been tired after playing for the whole day Lucia proposed that they should go home Paul didnt refuse He drove them back to West Bridge
On their way back, the kids all fell asleep on the car because they were tired Lucia and Paul didnt chat, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressed
After arriving at West Bridge, they entered their house Lucia held Janet in her arms while Paul had Timothy in his Bill and Elisa werent home The house was shrouded in silence
After placing the kids on their kids beds, they silently went out of the room
In the living room, Paul took out a bottle of whiskey and poured himself half a glass of it.
He took several sips of the wine, and the atmosphere was still depressed Lucia sat on the sofa and looked up at Paul She asked. Much business in the company today”
"Yes Something sudden and urgent Thais why I didnt answer your call * Saying. Paul sat beside her and asked softly. "Are you mad at
me’ For my failure to arrive in time’"
Lucia shook her head "No I know you re busy "
She had owned Paul more than she could repay him She shouldn't blame Paul for such trifle B Paul remained silent for a while He then put down the wine glass and turned to the woman “Lucia, to tell you the truth. I waj extremely
angry when I was you with August
'I kept wondering if I wasnt doing well enough when I saw you four together’
Hearing this, Lucia felt so lost and hurriedly consoled him, Paul, dont think it that way You ve done enough for us I am so grateful and I
didn't know how to repay you
Her words were interrupted by Paul, who suddenly held her hand and said soulfully, But you know clearly what I want is not your gratitude
nor your repaying
He helped her go abroad five years ago, and took care of her for the past five years He never wanted her gratitude He, from the
beginning to the end. only wanted her heart
Paul s voice had become hoarse He said deeply, “Lucia, you know what I want *
Saying, he approached her slowly and was about to land a kiss on her lips
I ucia was scared and subconsciously pushed him away She stood up in panic and took a step back “Paul, dont I I'm not ready
She hadnt been ready to accept him
Paul was stunned Looking the panic in the womans eyes, he didnt know whether he should cry or laugh
He had been taking care of her for five years, but she was still not ready to accept him
Five years’ Five fucking years’ An iceberg should have been melted.
Paul endured the pain in his heart and replied, Lucia, sorry. I shouldn't force you
Then, he stood up and left without a glance back
After hearing the car in yard going away, Lucie finally felt a little relaxed
But then, Quit surged into her head, making her fee more and more struggling
Paul treated her perfect, but she stil couldn't empty her heart and accept him
Thinking of which, she didnt know what to do
Footsteps came from the gate Then, Elsas voice sounded “Lucia, what happened?
Lucia looked up and found Bisa and Bil coming in one after another
