Chapter 233 Seeking Justice!
The afterglow was so beautiful. Arthur looked sideways at Lucia, who looked both beautiful and innocent with a red glow on her face.
He said sentimentally, "If only this moment could last forever."
Lucia did not respond, as if she had not heard Arthur's words. Arthur was a little disappointed and could only express his displeasure by wrapping his arms more tightly around Lucia's waist. Noticing Arthur's childish behavior, Lucia was amused and sad. She heard what he said just now, but she could not and did not dare to respond.
Honestly, she thought the same as him.
Lucia and Arthur were different. Arthur was forced to give up this relationship because of his responsibility for Juliana, but it was Lucia who sustained the hurt. She was hurt badly and had a deeper understanding.
It was clear that Arthur had done so many things to hurt her, but Lucia knew that she still loved him. Also, Lucia realized that she didn't have to be together with him though she loved him. Love was not about possession or living together every day. Love was an instinct, and it had nothing to do with others and even the one being loved.
With this thought in mind, Lucia could get along with Arthur so naturally. Otherwise, she would have fled away as soon as he came near her.
"Lucia, haven't you ever selfishly thought of asking me to leave Juliana alone, to leave her child alone, and to take you and Teddy away?" For some reason, Arthur suddenly asked Lucia. "Why bother?" Lucia gave the answer at once.
Lucia's answer was simple. Arthur could not help but give a wry smile. He wanted to tell Lucia that the child Juliana gave birth to was probably not his. He wanted to tell her that he was trying to figure out a way to confirm it, but he was afraid that he would make Lucia hope for nothing.
"We have agreed to not mention those things, haven't we?" Lucia turned her head and said with an undertone. Her small face was pink in the afterglow and her eyes were as brilliant as the stars in the night sky.
"I'm sorry," Arthur made an apology. "These few days are too good to be true, and I can't help myself..."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
"Just think of it as a dream." Lucia interrupted Arthur.
"If only I wouldn't wake up ..." Arthur put on a bitter smile again. His eyes were flooded with affection for Lucia, though he had tried hard to hide it.
Arthur's pupil color was dreamy. At this time, his eyes were as deep as the sea in the afterglow. Lucia looked into his eyes, tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
After the kiss, she said softly, "At least, for now, you're still in the dream ..."
Arthur stood frozen in place. When he recovered his wits, Lucia had run ahead to chase Theodore. Mother and son were chasing and playing on the beach. Their laughs came into Arthur's ears. Lifting his hand to touch his lips, he murmured with his eyes smiling, "Yeah, at least now I'm still in the dream..."
Arthur decided not to think about it, and strode towards Lucia and Theodore. They smiled at each other mischievously, ran forward, and trod the waves along the way, leaving three long rows of footprints on the beach, one small and two large, which looked so sweet. But soon, the waves washed them away.
Kayla had been very angry over these past few days. She was very resentful at the thought that her daughter was in confinement and taking care of the baby alone while Arthur was having fun with Lucia and their son abroad.
What made her even angrier was Sophie's attitude. Since that day on the phone, as the wrongdoer, Sophie never contacted them. In Kayla's opinion, Sophie gotta come to the Knight Residence to make an apology!
Unfortunately, Sophie didn't do it as Kayla wished.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became. That day, she complained to Juliana.
"Julia, how can you be so placid?"
Juliana had been very unhappy recently because of Kane's old flames for Poppy. Her mother's complaint made her even more depressed, so she said in an unpleasant tone, "What else could I do? I left in a fit of rage to remind them I'm not a pushover, but unexpectedly Arthur seized this chance to spend time with Lucia and their son. I also feel depressed. But what can I do?"
"It was so impulsive." Kayla regretted being too impulsive.
Juliana lowered her eyes and snorted.
"What kind of woman is Lucia? How did she bewitch Arthur so much?" In Kayla's view, even if Lucia and Arthur knew each other first, Lucia could be only considered as the other woman, since Juliana was Arthur's fiancée. At the same time, Kayla was really curious about what kind of woman Lucia was.
"It's not that hard to see her. The pictures of her and her son are on Arthur's desk in his office. He refused to remove them though I had lost my temper with him many times and asked him to throw them away," Juliana said to add fuel to the fire.
"He has gone too far!" Kayla was furious at Juliana's words and criticized her, "Why are you so stupid? Why didn't you tell us when you knew about his relationship with that woman?"
Juliana pressed her lips together and then said, "I trusted Arthur and thought he would really cut ties with her. I didn't expect ..."
"No, we can't just wait around. We gotta make the Davies know that the Knight family can't be messed with!" Kayla seemed to think of something and said firmly.
"Mom, what do you want to do?" Juliana asked Kayla, puzzled.
"Leave it to me. Take care of the baby. I am going to Athegate and stay there for a few days." Kayla made up her mind. The Knights were waiting around anxiously, but the Davies just put their minds at ease. That was unfair. She gotta go to Athegate to seek justice from Sophie!
Juliana didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, she said, "That's good, Mom. Dad's attitude has been unclear, but we can't just wait around. The issues of Arthur, me, and the baby can't remain unsolved." "Okay, I will have the housekeeper book the flight now. Don't tell your father about this. I'm afraid he will stop me." When it came to her husband who didn't stand up for Juliana, Kayla was fuming with anger. That afternoon, Kayla arrived at Athegate without telling her husband. Instead of going to Fragranerde Hall, she first went to the Branch of Davonnis.
