It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 123

“Kathryn, why don’t you go put your clothes away?” Aren’t you going to Lowell’s to keep me company?” Lucia looked at Catherine, who was still there, and asked in confusion.

She had thought that when Catherine got the positive answer, she would be a little excited and even eager to pack her bags. . But since the end of the strange dinner, Catherine had maintained her original posture. She cleaned the table and washed the dishes mechanically.

“Lucie, I’m going to go. I’m going there myself tomorrow. I have to clean this place up today. I will go there to accompany you every day. I usually have classes to attend. It’s not practical to move things here and there,” Catherine explained simply.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you tomorrow.” Lucia said nothing more but hugged her.

“Agree tomorrow.” Kathryn waved her hand and said goodbye to Lucia.

Lucia got rid of Lowell’s hand on purpose and walked in front of him. Without holding Lucia’s hand forcefully, Lowell followed her indifferently. Kathryn watched their figures disappear at the fence and silently returned to the house. She collapses on the couch.

Why was there no one other than Lucia? Faced with a woman as tempting as Lucia, even the cold and heartless Lowell was fascinated. During this time, she was just a girl who hadn’t grown up yet. Anyone would choose Lucia out of the two. With such thoughts in her mind, Kathryn went upstairs numbly, opened the balcony door and shouted, venting all the depression in her heart.

From tomorrow, she will have to bury all her love. If she and Lowell couldn’t love each other, she would rather be by his side. Once there was a chance, she would fight for Lowell’s love without timidity, just like Lucia had done.

In the car, Lowell focused on driving. From the corner of his eye, he sometimes looked at Lucia, who had a complicated expression on her face. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start. Suddenly he felt Lucia’s gaze. When his eyes met hers, he turned the wheel and simply parked the car in a parking lot on the side of the road, looking at Lucia.

“You knew I was at Catherine’s from the very beginning, didn’t you?” Lucia asked indifferently.

“I asked Catherine to call you and ask you to move to the villa. I knew from Catherine that you liked this house. In this situation, moving would make you feel more comfortable and easier. J “Admit I had ulterior motives at the time,” Lowell explained seriously.

“Is it also a coincidence that we met at Kenneth’s cafe at the beginning?” » Lucia continued to ask.

“It was not a deliberate coincidence. You could say it was a destined coincidence. I had been investigating you and knew that you knew him. In fact, I consciously came into contact with your circle of life at that time. But unexpectedly, the coffee and food in this cafe attracted me so much that I appeared there at a fixed time. I just didn’t expect to meet you there by accident, ” Lowell said calmly.

Lucia hadn’t spoken as much in recent days. No matter what she asked, Lowell would give her the most satisfying answer. He would rather face such a questioning Lucia than the dull and numb Lucia. Such a Lucie made his heart palpitate.

“If you didn’t fall in love with me, what would you do?” Lucia suddenly looked at Lowell and asked an unexpected question.

“Maybe, the same as Renee.” Lowell thought for a while and gave the answer honestly.

Lucia whispered Renée’s name and soon understood what he meant. She fixed her eyes on Lowell. In the past, perhaps it was because Renee also betrayed Malcolm in this way that the feud between him and Lowell deepened. And when she did the same thing Renee once did, Malcolm wanted to kill her.

“Kathryn likes you,” Lucia finished the previous topic and said lightly.

“I know.” Unexpectedly, Lowell gave him such an answer.

“So you never showed up in front of her and never gave her any hope, did you?” Lucia concluded for Lowell.

Without saying anything, Lowell started the engine and headed towards his villa. His silence gave Lucia a definitive answer. He had adopted Catherine since the age of ten for a specific purpose, not because he loved her. He really didn’t know when Catherine changed her feelings for him. When he tried to stop it, there was already nothing he could do. He had to keep Catherine, so he could only let it go. And the only solution was for him to disappear.

“Why did you adopt Catherine? Lucia looked out the window at night and asked slowly.

Glancing at Lucia, Lowell didn’t know how to answer her question. He chose to remain silent. He didn’t want to hide anything from Lucia, but there was something he couldn’t explain.

“For no reason? Because of her character? Or was Catherine useful to you?” Lucia’s tone became unusually sharp.

“Lucie…” There was helplessness and pity in the tone. of Lowell.

“I crossed the line.” Lucia smartly stopped the subject and remained silent.

Lowell wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, which made Lucia a little sure of her guess. However, how Could a simple girl like Kathryn be useful to Lowell? Or maybe there was something she didn’t know about Catherine. Lucia was lost in thought. “

Lucia, you’ll know everything one day, soon ,” Lowell said firmly to Lucia, like a promise.

Lucia did not respond. It seemed that such talkativeness was just a flash in the pan. Soon she hid in her shell and returned again to the silent Lucia Looking at Lucia who was cowering, Lowell sighed silently.

The car returned to the villa and parked in the garage. Lucia opened the door and returned to her room, leaving Lowell alone in silence.

The next day, as planned, Kathryn appeared in the villa. When the butler of the villa saw the unexpected appearance of the girl, his eyes filled with surprise, but soon, he calmed down and opened the door for Catherine, letting her in as if nothing had happened. was.

“Miss Su is in the office on the second floor.” The butler told her where Lucia was before Catherine asked.

Catherine frowned. Lowell never allowed anyone into his office. How could Lucia enter his office at will? But soon she stopped thinking about such a heart-aching question and went straight to the second floor. Outside the office, she knocked on the door.

Nobody answered. Kathryn frowned, but through the half-open door she could clearly see Lucia cowering in the chair. A book casually covered her face, and the sunlight shone on her. “She’s like a sleeping beauty,” Kathryn commented in her heart.

“Lucie…” Kathryn opened the door and called softly to the somewhat dazed Lucia.

When Lucia saw that it was Kathryn, a happy smile appeared on her face. She got up from the chair, held Catherine’s hand and sat on the sofa. The butler showed up at the right time and brought hot drinks for both.

“Catherine…I’m sorry. I didn’t know Lowell was your guardian,” Lucia said guiltily.

“Ha… It has nothing to do with you. I told you that it was impossible for me to be with him. It’s really good for him to be accompanied by a woman like you. Like you said, love isn’t necessarily about being together. Sometimes giving up is also a kind of love.” Kathryn smiled and her cheerful tone soon drowned out the uneasiness in Lucia’s heart.

“Why don’t you want to stay here?” Is it because of me?” Lucia asked indifferently.

“No… It’s too far away. It is not convenient for me to attend classes. And I hate moving frequently. Besides, I like the house with a glass roof, just like you like it. Ha ha…Lucia, how about you go back with me?” Kathryn urged Lucia and said with a smile. There was a slight self-deprecation in her bright smile. “No thank you

. “It’s a good place,” Lucia refused.

Lowell’s mansion was located in a remote location. It was far from the city center. There would be no one or anything related to the Evans family in around. Lucia could find rare peace here. And Malcolm’s figure didn’t always appear in her mind when she was here. Those days were too tiring. “

Okay. I will come when I have time. I will stay here with you for the weekend. When the winter holidays come, I will be free. Until then, I can stay here anytime,” Catherine said simply.

“Okay.” Lucia smiled and habitually touched Catherine’s silky black hair.

At this moment, there seemed to be no Lowell or other disruption during this time. Only Lucia and Kathryn enjoyed their tea time. However, they avoided sensitive topics. Kathryn no longer talked about Lowell with Lucia, and Lucia no longer talked about anything related to love with Kathryn.

Most of the time, Lucia would quietly listen to Kathryn talk about what happened at school. Sometimes, Lucia would tell her interesting stories about herself at school. Time passed so quickly as they chatted that the two didn’t even notice that Lowell had returned to the villa. He just glanced at Lucia,

“Give Kathryn a backup villa entrance guard. She can come in and out of here freely,” Lowell went downstairs and ordered the butler in a low voice.

“Yes,” the butler agreed without objection.

It was dinner time when Kathryn ushered Lucia out of the office. When Lowell saw Lucia who took the initiative to go out, there was an invisible smile in his eyes. At least Lucia wouldn’t lock herself in the office. At least she was willing to come out voluntarily. Whether it was because of Kathryn or something else, it was a good start for Lowell.
