Chapter 264 Juliana stays
While Lucia was talking to Eduard, Nia suddenly pushed the door and came in. The man behind her was Arthur, and Eduard jumped up immediately when he saw Arthur.
"What? I said everything was Juliana's fault, right?!"
Eduard had been waiting a long time to say this.
Arthur smiled. He knew that Lucia had already told him what happened, so he said, "People are most easily misled by subjective prejudice. Julia was used by Poppy in this way, but she is not bad by nature, and she has already apologized to Lucia."NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Arthur, do you know how much Lucia was hurt by what Juliana did?" Eduard asked, turning his face and staring at Arthur seriously.
"I know," Arthur said, looking at Lucia, "This will never happen again!"
This was Arthur's promise to Lucia. No matter what happened, Arthur will never give up Lucia again, even if it was because of friendship and family.
Lucia looked back at Arthur, smiling happily.
Eduard felt he was the third wheel, rubbed his arms exaggeratedly and said to Arthur and Lucia,
"You should take into account the occasion. I'm still here."
Eduard's words immediately made Arthur and Lucia laugh out loud, before Lucia asked Arthur, "Why did you come to me all of a sudden?"
"I'll pick you up. Mom is going back to Chicago tonight. Robert is leaving tomorrow. Kane happens to be there. Let's have dinner together," replied Arthur.
"It's not time for get off work," Lucia said, glancing at her watch.
Arthur smiled without saying a word, and looked at Eduard. Eduard felt scared. After being stared at by Arthur for a long time, he finally compromised and said, "You can get off work now."
Arthur immediately said to Lucia, "Look, it's time to get off work."
Lucia found it both funny and annoying. Was Arthur threatening her boss? But since Eduard had already agreed, and she wanted to see Sophie off, she naturally accepted it and walked out of Jibillion Inc with Arthur.
In the elevator, Arthur took Lucia's hand and said, "You and Eduard better keep a little distance."
"What do you mean?" Lucia looked up at Arthur with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"Even if you are good friends, he is a man after all. And he treats you..." Arthur did not notice the light in Lucia's eyes, and explained seriously,
"No matter how generous I am, I will be jealous."
"What did he do to me?" Lucia asked, deliberately ignoring the point of Arthur's words.
"He's always liked you, hasn't he?" Arthur was reluctant to say that.
"Yes, but does this have any effect?" Lucia couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
"You said it didn't matter..." Arthur didn't expect Lucia to be so slow. Just as he was about to explain the seriousness of the matter to her, he lowered his head and looked into her eyes, finding the laughter and naughty hidden in them.
She did it on purpose!
Realizing that he was being teased by Lucia, Arthur stretched out his hand to wrap Lucia in his arms, stared at her "viciously" and said,
"You're making fun of me!"
Lucia was tightly wrapped by Arthur's arms and finally laughed out loud, "Who made you jealous for Eduard? He did confess to me before, but I also made it clear that it is impossible between us. His emotional intelligence is very high. He will not hate me or alienate me just because he can't get me, but he can turn good feelings into friendship. Do you have to beware of such a man?"
Arthur didn't buy Lucia's trick. He directly lowered his head and kissed Lucia's lips heavily, and said with a light snort,
"I don't care what kind of man he is. Anyway, if he is a male creature, he has to stay away from you!"
"Aren't you a male?" Lucia teased Arthur hilariously.
Arthur's love fluttered. He leaned over to deepen the kiss, and gave Lucia the answer between his lips and tongue,
"I am the exception!"
When they came to Fragranerde Hall, there was rarely such a lively time in the villa. Although Robert had been away for two days due to business, Arthur and everyone still sat by the table.
Sophie had to go back to New York ahead of schedule because of Spencer's affairs. During the dinner, she kept telling the children to take good care of their bodies, especially the little ones, and to take good care of him.
"Arthur, I'm thinking about going back to Lepus with my mother tomorrow. It's inconvenient for me to live here now." At the dinner table, Juliana said goodbye to Arthur. Although it was not announced on media, she was no longer Arthur's fiancee. There was always something wrong with living here with the child
Kayla echoed, "This time, we have bothered you too much. Julia will come back with me tomorrow."
Arthur had no objection. After all, Juliana could get more care by staying with her mother, but he found that Kane, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have an abnormal expression. Before he could think about it, Lucia, who was sitting beside him, spoke,
"Julia, you can stay here."
Juliana looked at Lucia, and was a little surprised that she would suggest that she should stay here. Just as she was about to ask aloud, she saw Lucia's eyes flashing, and she gestured to herself in the direction beside her. Juliana turned her head and found Kane's face in embarrassment.
She saw it.
Feeling warm in her heart, Juliana was moved by Lucia's care.
"Kayla, let Julia stay here. Now that Poppy's matter has not been resolved, Kane can't leave, but I believe he is reluctant to part with Julia and the baby." Lucia turned her head and said to Kayla.
It was true that Lepus and Athegate were not far apart, but after all, the travelling was time-consuming and laborious. Only by staying in Athegate can Kane see Juliana and her son often.
Before Kayla could respond, Kane cast a grateful look at Lucia. Her words were right on his own mind, and it was more suitable for her to speak than his request. Kane suddenly felt an unrequited mood towards Lucia.
The great kindness and virtue may be more engraved in his heart, but some warm and considerate little actions were equally refreshing.
Kayla turned to see her daughter and Kane facing each other with affection. Only then did she realize the meaning of Lucia's words, so she smiled,
"Okay, okay, then Julia will stay here. Arthur, Kane, Miss Webb, please take care of her and the baby."
"Of course." Arthur responded generously, looking at Lucia with deeper love.
Lucia was really understanding.
