Chapter 32 Joking
Theodore was not a know-nothing child. Of course, he knew that Mommy was all dressed up to go to the party tonight, and that she was accompanying her superiors. Arthur, who had also been invited, was going alone.
Theodore was very clever. He was secretly watching Arthur and Lucia’s development.
Arthur glanced down at his mischievous son and chose to remain silent, but he did not expect Sophie to join him.
“That’s very generous of you, my son.” According to Sophie, with her son’s personality, he might snatch Lucia from Eduard. She didn’t expect him to be so generous.
Hearing that, Arthur glanced at his good mother and said nothing.
“Grandma, I want to be as generous as Uncle Arthur in the future.” Theodore, seeing that Arthur was not affected, continued to stimulate him with naughty words and deliberately said to Sophie.
“Well, Theodore, you will definitely be a generous boy after all,” Sophie said, looking clearly at Arthur.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Theodore and Sophie teamed up and finally got Arthur mad. He tossed his hair irritably, and at last began to express his true thoughts.
“Do you think I want to do that? To get her all dressed up and go off with another man? I’m not that selfless yet. But that’s Lucia’s job. What am I supposed to do? To tie her up?”
Theodore and Sophie smiled at each other when Arthur finally gave up his patience. Arthur’s outburst was what they want. So, when Arthur’s face turned red because of anger, Sophie opened the door neatly and said to him.
“Well, it’s time for you to leave, son. You know, Lucia is only supposed to accompany the president, but she doesn’t have to be by his side the whole time.”
With that, Sophie gave a playful wink. Old as she was, she was not old at heart, and there was nothing wrong with this girlish gesture.
Arthur’s eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand. Finally, his frown relaxed, and his mood seemed to improve, and he went out.
After Arthur had left, Theodore suddenly sighed like an old man, took Sophie by the hand, and said, “Grandma, this son of yours is a lot to worry about.”
Looking down at Theodore, Sophie smiled even more. She rubbed his head lovingly and said, “He’s a real worry…”
Not knowing what happened after she left, Lucia gently rolled up her skirt and eased down the stairs.
Downstairs, Eduard was sitting in his car, waiting for Lucia. When he was about to make a second phone call, he saw a beautiful image at the door of the unit he had been watching. He froze there completely forgetting his reaction and the etiquette that a gentleman should open the door for a lady. Finally, Lucia opened the door and got into the car by herself.
Tonight was a special night, so Eduard let the driver take care of the car, and of course he sat in the back seat. Eduard’s reaction now was to stare at Lucia as she leaned over the car in amazement.
“Sorry to have kept you waiting.” Not paying attention to Eduard’s eyes, Lucia got in the car and sat down with an apology.
Eduard would like to say that she looked beautiful tonight, but such adjectives didn’t seem to be enough to describe Lucia’s beauty.
Tonight, Lucia was wearing a light purple dress.
With her delicate and perfect face and her delicate makeup, she was almost impossible to take your eyes off.
Lucia’s outfit for the night was all Arthur’s work. He ordered this high-definition starry dress from Dior for Lucia in advance, so the size was suitable, making her tall body look slim and attractive.
She could have had her makeup done, but Arthur didn’t like the idea of Lucia walking around in public with her makeup on. So after trying on the dress, he took her home, and Sophie did the makeup for Lucia herself.
A European-style dress with a classic hairstyle. Instead of being incongruous, it added grace to Lucia. Sophie even “forced” Lucia to take several photos with her son as she finished dressing her up.
The perfect woman was naturally attractive. Lucia did not notice that the way Eduard looked at her had changed.
“Lucia, you look beautiful tonight, so gorgeous…” Not wanting to make things awkward, Eduard spoke out even though he didn’t think “beautiful” was enough to describe Lucia.
“Thank you.” Lucia nodded to Eduard politely, with a gentle smile on her face, which suddenly flashed into Eduard’s heart.
Eduard had the best night of his life. Although the woman standing next to him was not his own woman, he saw the most envious eyes from everyone. But his elation did not last long.
Arthur left half an hour after Lucia, and by the time he got to the meeting, the party had already started. After his usual greetings to Mr. Kaur, Arthur, found a corner to enjoy his wine by himself.
Looking at Arthur surrounded by women, Lucia bit her lip involuntarily.
But she could not give up socializing. Eduard was still taking Lucia to introduce her to others. Lucia could only bear it now, but she could not help glancing at Arthur.
Finally, Eduard met an old friend, and the two got lost in conversation. Lucia took the opportunity to sneak away.
Arthur was very annoyed at this point. There was a woman who was Sophie’s old acquaintance, and she also had a daughter. She was now relying on her relationship with Sophie desperately to sell Arthur his daughter, and her daughter next to her was looking shyly at Arthur.
As soon as Lucia came over, she saw the girl looking at Arthur shyly. She felt a little jealous, so she went to him without hesitation.
“Arthur, there you are.” Lucia’s smile was gentle and touching, and her voice was so beautiful that every tone of her voice appealed to others. As soon as she opened her mouth, all the people standing next to Arthur looked at her.
“Arthur, who’s she?” The lady was stunned. She naturally heard the intimacy in Lucia’s tone when she called Arthur. She secretly wondered who this beauty was. Looked like she and Arthur had a special relationship. Did her daughter still have a chance?
