Chapter 77
Lucy left in a hurry. Apart from his certificate, he didn't bring anything else. "I'll explain to uncle and aunt."
"There's nothing to explain. Just remember to visit them often. It's not like you don't know that they treat you as their own daughter!" The walnut's eyes were too embarrassing. Kylah had already put on her prepared sunglasses and sent the two of them to the airport.
At 4:55 p.m., the three of them arrived at the airport.
From a distance, Lucy saw that there was someone who looked like Maddox. She thought that she had made a mistake, but she did not expect that it was really him.
"I heard from Kylah that you and Caden are going back to City B. I want to see you off." Maddox was wearing a white shirt and a pair of blue casual jeans. His clean and gentle temperament attracted many people's attention.
Caden liked this uncle very much, and she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed. "Thank you, uncle! When you are free, go to City B to play with me and mommy. Mommy will treat you to dinner!"
"Okay." Maddox picked him up and kissed him on the face. He smiled and said, "I'll definitely go."
"That's great! Mommy will be very happy if Uncle comes!" Caden grabbed his mommy's hand and placed it on Maddox's.
The cold temperature of her hand went straight to Maddox's skin. However, he felt that he had been scalded and his heart had been set on fire.
He looked down at her, and his eyes seemed to be full of bright stars.
"Yes, if Maddox comes to City B, I will be the leader." Lucy withdrew his hand as if he didn't care. His attitude was neither distant nor distant.
Since she knew what her senior was thinking, she couldn't give him vague hope. It was better to keep some distance between them.
Maddox was a little disappointed by her departure, but he still had a gentle smile on his face. "Okay."
"It's almost time, but you and the little bastard should hurry in!" Kylah looked at the time and urged.
"Goodbye, uncle. You must go to City B to find me and Mommy!" Caden raised her eyebrows and winked.
"Maddox is not your girlfriend. Your tricks won't work!" Lucy picked him up and waved to Maddox and Kylah. Then he pulled his small suitcase and walked to the airport lobby.
Maddox looked at her back, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
When he was strong enough to confront Arthur, he would definitely let the whole world know—he liked her!
...
Arthur stared at his phone, feeling a little uneasy. He sat on the sofa all night.
Every ten minutes, he would send someone to look for her. But when he thought of what Aunty Julianne had said to him, he forced down the idea of looking for her.
I can't force her...
He couldn't force her.
"I can't force her!"
Arthur repeated these words repeatedly in his heart. It was as if his heart was placed on an iron plate, adding oil to it and roasting it back and forth. His entire being seemed like he was possessed by a devil!
Gulp—
When Lucy's text message came, Arthur's tightly wrinkled heart slowly relaxed, and then it wrinkled together again. He was excited and a little nervous.
She must have told him something like 'I'm in love' or 'I won't come back for dinner this morning'...
In any case, as long as she didn't find a way to escape from him!
Arthur stretched his numb long legs a little nervously and clicked on the text message—
[It's been eight years since I met you.]
"Maybe I never knew that I fell in love with you the first second I met you. At that moment, my heart beat fast, and I had an illusion that I would be your woman for the rest of my life."
At this point, the can of honey seemed to be overturned in the heart of Arthur, and the sweetness spread along his heart like limbs and bones.
He felt the movement of his heart and realized for the first time that it was beating so violently for a woman other than Elyse!
[Later, I married you. For three years, I spent a whole thousand and ninety-five days and nights. Every day, I was thinking about how to make you less hate me... But it seemed to have little effect. Until the day I left, you said that you would beat me if you had a child.]
Arthur's beating heart gradually calmed down, as if there were tens of millions of ants gnawing on his heart.
Even if these characters were lying here coldly, he could still think of the bitterness and helplessness she had experienced in the past three years.
He really wanted to kill himself in the past!
[In fact, it's meaningless to talk about so many things in the past. Arthur, I did love you and hate you, but eight years have passed, I can't love you, and I don't hate you anymore... Really, when I heard that you kidnapped Lizbeth for me, the last bit of hatred in my heart disappeared.]
At this point, a strong sense of uneasiness rose from the bottom of Arthur's heart.
He held his phone tightly and still looked at the text message. His handsome face, which had always been calm and composed, was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.
[So, that's it. Thank you for the warmth you've given me during this period of time. But I'm sorry, I'm leaving. Arthur, I wish you happiness. Goodbye!]
Finally, he put on a smiling face.
Arthur held his phone tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The endless tide rushed toward him and gradually drowned him. It filled his mouth and nose, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Find out where Lucy is right now!" Arthur dialed a number, and his hands were so strong that he almost crushed the phone.
5:25 p.m.
Gulp—
"Where is she?" As soon as the phone vibrated, Arthur answered the phone with a strong sense of fear and uneasiness in his voice.
"From the monitoring route..."
"Say, say, get, get what you want!"
"Mrs. Johnson is at the airport and is ready to board the plane. The flight is expected to be... beep beep beep beep!"
The words "Arthur, wish you happiness, goodbye" were playing in Arthur's mind. He nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
He grabbed the car key and did not have time to think. His body could have made him grab the car key and run out.
"Sir, what happened?" Aunty Julianne asked anxiously behind him. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Arthur didn't have time to answer and ran out directly.
He couldn't let Lucy leave!
If she left, he would never see her again!
He ran to the garage, found the fastest sports car, sat directly in the driver's seat, and stepped on the accelerator to the end.
Psst—
The speed of the car was too fast. When Arthur made a turn, the tires made a harsh friction sound on the ground.
When the end of the car touched the wall, it instantly caved in.
The noise was so loud that several male servants of the Lindbarry Chateau rushed out in big underpants. As a result, they only saw a cool sports car rushing out of the Lindbarry Chateau.
Arthur stepped on the accelerator to the end. The car was about to fly, but he still felt that it was slow.
Today was not a double day holiday. Many people who had to go to work but were far away from the company had already driven on the road. There were not many cars on the road, but there were definitely a lot of them.
Arthur straightened his handsome face, controlled the cars over one by one, and drove towards the airport at a lightning speed.
There were several times when his car was so fast that he almost hit someone else's car when he turned the corner.
