Chapter 172
Arthur came back at nine o'clock in the evening. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Where is Lucy?"
Hearing the bodyguards say that she was emotional and smashed a lot of things, he immediately left the drinking party and came back.
"In the room." Aunty Julianne was not satisfied with him, but she did not dare to ignore him.
Arthur replied with a 'hmm' and headed straight for the second floor. He entered Lucy's room. When he saw the overwhelming pink dress, he frowned. Since when did she like this type of young lady style?
There was a pitter-pattering sound in the bathroom. It should be her taking a shower. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
He sat on the bed, and her curvy body flashed through his mind. He pulled his tie and unbuttoned two buttons.
The sound of dripping stopped, and there was a click in the bathroom door, followed by a soft and shy female voice. "Ting, you're back."
This female voice seemed to have stopped. Arthur paused for a moment, and the heat in his body disappeared completely, leaving only waves of irritation.
Ruby wrapped herself in a bath towel and walked up to him. Her face was flushed. "Why aren't you speaking?"
"What should I do?"
Could it be that she had to sacrifice herself for this million?
"Who told you to take a shower here?" Arthur looked at her coldly, and his heart was burning with anger. Apart from Lucy, no one else was worthy of coming here!
"I... I..." Ruby lowered her head and looked terrified. "Ms. Morgan said that she doesn't like you, and she doesn't want to... want to see anything that has something to do with you, so... so she let me live here. She wants us to restore our relationship. That way, you won't bother her anymore."
Peng!
Arthur punched the wall, and blood filled his eyes little by little. "Is this heartless woman really going to send him to other women with her own hands?"
She was really generous to let him be with other women!
Ruby was so scared that she took a few steps back. She said sincerely, "A toad with three legs is hard to find. Women with two legs are everywhere. You have such good conditions. Why do you have to find a woman who doesn't love you?"
The word "don't love" was like a sharp knife stabbing into Arthur's heart, tearing his heart to shreds.
He clenched his fists, blue veins stood out on his neck, and his handsome face looked a little ferocious. "Get lost!"
" Arthur, it's not appropriate for you to let me go out now." Ruby clung to the foot of the wall with fear and braced herself to say, "Ms. Morgan dared to hurt you unscrupulously because you like her."
"Go on." Arthur's voice was low and hoarse, and his whole body was emitting waves of cold air.
"The easier it is to get something, the less they will cherish it. Ms. Morgan knows that you like her and don't have any sense of crisis, so you don't realize your feelings for you. If I bring her a certain sense of crisis, his attitude toward you will change."
"You and Ms. Morgan have just been married for three years and you don't like her. After she left, you found out that you like her. That's the same logic."
Ruby was extremely glad that she was once a member of the debate team and was the best debater. She had almost convinced herself!
The blood in Arthur's eyes gradually dissipated, and he warned in a cold voice, "You'd better not play tricks!"
"If I really wanted to play tricks, I wouldn't have waited until now." Ruby said bitterly, "I still love you, but you have fallen in love with someone else. I will not be the third party."
...
Lucy didn't sleep the entire night. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn.
She didn't want to sleep, but she watched with her own eyes as Arthur walked into Elyse's room and
listened to the sound of the bed and the woman's sobs all night... She couldn't fall asleep.
Especially when she thought that they were rolling on her big bed, she felt sick, annoyed, and uncomfortable. She wanted to burn her bed!
Crack! Crack!
The moment the door was pushed open, Lucy subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. She felt like Arthur was here. There might be some ambiguous lipstick marks on his shirt. Right now, she didn't want to see him at all!
The man's movements were very light. He walked to the bedside and tucked her in. Then, he walked around the room. There was a faint sound of bottles and cans colliding.
Lucy opened his eyes. What he saw wasn't Arthur, but rather Aunty Julianne, whose back was facing her as she wiped the table and tidied up the room.
Somehow, the corner of her eyes became wet. She buried her face in the quilt to prevent herself from sobbing.
After tidying up for a while, Aunty Julianne went to the bed and pulled the quilt down for her. It was not good for her health to sleep with her head down.
Lucy didn't expect that she would pull the quilt and look at her with her eyes open, so she couldn't pretend to be asleep.
When Aunty Julianne saw her red and swollen eyes, she was shocked. "Madam, why are you crying
again? You have a child now. You should pay attention to your health!"
"I just didn't sleep well. My eyes are swollen." Lucy was afraid that she didn't believe him, so he smiled.
"Is it because the smell of dust in the room is too strong and I'm not used to it?" Aunty Julianne said with a look of self-blame, "I should have cleaned up last night."
"It has nothing to do with this. I've been thinking too much." Lucy sat up. He didn't sleep the entire night and felt a headache.
"Sir, you've gone too far this time!" As a woman, Aunty Julianne felt that it was not worth it for Lucy, but she still had to persuade him. "But now that you are pregnant, you have to think about everything for yourself. Because others are angry with themselves or hurt their children. It's not worth it!"
"Yes, I know." However, he understood these principles, but it was very difficult for him to do it.
Aunty Julianne didn't know how to persuade her, so she simply threw away the rag and said, "I'll make you some breakfast. You can have some rest after you finish eating."
...
Aunty Julianne moved very fast, and in less than ten minutes, she came up with breakfast.
However, before she could send the breakfast to Lucy's room, Arthur stopped her and said, "Let her go down to eat."
"But Mrs. Johnson didn't sleep well last night. She's not feeling well now," Aunty Julianne explained
anxiously.
Arthur's voice was cold. "Lindbarry Chateau doesn't allow you to eat in your room."
"Forget it, Aunty Julianne." Lying in the room, Lucy could clearly hear their conversation. "I'll go down and eat."
In order to deal with her, Arthur added a rule on the spot. He really thought highly of her!
She stood up with the help of the bed, felt dizzy, and went downstairs. She fell down several times in the middle, but fortunately, Aunty Julianne supported her.
In the dining room, Ruby had already sat down. "Ms. Morgan, why do you look so pale? If I had quarreled with Arthur last night, I would have apologized to you."
There was a hint of arrogance in his words.
Arthur's brows were tightly furrowed. However, when he thought of the conversation from last night, he didn't say anything. All he did was pull out a chair and sit down beside Lucy.
"Shame on you!" Aunty Julianne helped Lucy sit down and scolded. If such a person was praised for being virtuous and generous, there would be no thick-skinned person in the world!
A layer of fog immediately appeared in Ruby's eyes. She looked at Arthur pitifully and said, "I just love you. Aunty Julianne said that I was shameless, but I..."
"Let's eat." Arthur coldly interrupted her. At the same time, he cut the fried egg and pushed it to Lucy.
