It's Love That Blinds Him -
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 137
After discovering Lucia’s identity, Lowell looked at her with a complicated expression. But he hid it well. Lucia still lived the same life every day, but most of the time she chose to go out for a walk. When Lowell had time, he accompanied her in person, and when he didn’t have time, he sent people to secretly protect Lucia. Some journalists eager to take action received hush money as soon as they were discovered by Lowell.
However, Lowell’s sensitive emotion could not escape Kathryn’s eyes. She could easily sense every subtle change in his eyes.
“Can I ask you a question?” Kathryn asked in her clear voice, which seemed a little shy.
Lowell turned to look at Kathryn. When he went upstairs, Catherine followed him, but he did not speak. Looking at Kathryn for a long moment, Lowell saw a habitual persistence in her eyes. He nodded slightly, turned and entered the office, followed quickly by Catherine.
“What do you want to ask?” Lowell asked coldly, looking at her.
“The relationship between me and Lucia!” Kathryn asked affirmatively.
Lowell hadn’t been out for a long time since she left the office that day. His questions were deeply rooted in his heart. Previously, she had just thought it was a coincidence. But now she didn’t think so anymore. If it was just a coincidence, Lowell needn’t have bothered to look into it. Since Kathryn had known Lowell for so long, there were always slight clues that could lead her to discover that there was something wrong with him.
And his boldest guess was that Lucia had something to do with her. As for what kind of relationship they had, there was also a trace of nervousness and expectation in Catherine’s heart. She hoped Lowell could give her the right answer.
“She’s your aunt’s daughter.” Lowell has made no secret of Lucia and Kathryn’s relationship.
“Is it because she’s my aunt’s daughter that you’re with her?” Kathryn asked seriously, looking at Lowell, with hope in her heart.
“Kathryn, whether she’s your aunt’s daughter or not, I want to be with her. As for you, even if you know some of the things between me and Malcolm, I won’t be with you. No matter the reason, it’s impossible.” Lowell’s merciless words sent Kathryn back to hell.
“Even if Lucia doesn’t know anything about you?” Kathryn asked at the end, but Lowell didn’t answer again.
She couldn’t help but compare herself to Lucia. Kathryn quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall, bowed to Lowell and left. As for the fact that Lucia was her family, Kathryn was still touched. Perhaps the warmth she found from Lucia was the power of family.
Either way, she wanted Lucia to be happy. Even though she sacrificed everything, she wanted Lucia to be happy. It was also her aunt’s last wish. If they met, she would take good care of her aunt’s daughter for her aunt’s sake, even in the most anonymous way.
When Catherine opened the office door, she saw Lucia standing outside. Lucia’s eyes were full of questioning and complexity. She glanced at Kathryn and finally fixed her eyes on Lowell. Lowell looked calmly into Lucia’s eyes. He didn’t know how long Lucia had been outside and how much she had heard. At this time, Catherine also seemed a little agitated, playing with her hands back and forth worriedly.
“You go out first,” Lowell ordered Catherine calmly.
Without any hesitation, Kathryn left the office and ran downstairs. She didn’t even have time to greet Lucia. After Kathryn left, Lucia entered the office and stood indifferently in front of Lowell, staring at him for a long time. The two of them both seemed to be waiting for the other to take the initiative to speak.
“Do you have a secret that’s hard to know?” Will you let me know in the most embarrassing way someday in the future, just like Malcolm did with me?” Lucia asked Lowell word for word. After walking around the yard for a while
, Lucia was so sleepy that she gave up the idea of going out. When she just thought about taking a book from the study and returning to the bedroom, she heard Kathryn’s last question unexpectedly. Inexplicable fear rose again from the bottom of her heart, and Lucia instantly became a hedgehog covered in thorns. Her pointed questions kept stimulating Lowell’s nerves.
“Lucie… You… If you want to know everything, I’ll tell you everything , ” Lowell sighed helplessly and said firmly.
“What’s all?” Lucia sneered and felt a little worried.
Lowell took Lucia’s hand and walked to the window with her. The two were sitting on the ground, letting the winter sunlight shine on them.Lucia unconsciously resisted, but she could not resist his embrace.
Lowell told his own story and Lucia knew his past.
The previous heir of the Fredrickson Clan, an ancient Spanish clan, was Lowell’s adoptive father. He was a person who loved excitement and adventure. He loved to challenge his own limits of survival. He had deviated from his clan’s mission and responsibility and had unexpectedly become a mercenary.
He wandered on the edge of life and death every day, from accepting the lowest level tasks to becoming the first spiritual leader of mercenaries. He had unified the mercenary systems in Europe with his intelligence and power. He did not interfere in their private transactions but allowed them the greatest freedom. Perhaps it was because he continued the original tradition of the mercenary world that the rebel world became exceptionally harmonious.
However, this kind of harmony was only for their spiritual leader. The mercenaries were absolutely loyal to the spiritual leader, above all else.
After Lowell was adopted, his adoptive father did not take him directly back to the Fredrickson clan, but took him to the mercenary field. The cruelest training and the most rigorous education made Lowell grow as fast as he could. Other people’s childhood may be filled with traditional education as an heir, but Lowell’s childhood was the most real contact with bloody combat.
“If you want to be stronger, you can only constantly surpass yourself.”
These were the teachings of his adoptive father. When his adoptive father died, Lowell gained absolute strength.
It was not until an old age that Lowell’s adoptive father brought the adult Lowell back into the Fredrickson clan. He officially announced to the clan members that Lowell was the heir to the Fredrickson Clan, and that he would inherit all of the Fredrickson Clan’s assets and the position of CEO of Dresse Group. However, Lowell chose to be the behind-the-scenes director. He never appeared in public, which made the Fredrickson clan even more discreet.
To everyone’s surprise, Lowell had entered the underworld. In the shortest possible time, he had even surpassed the clans that had lived in darkness for decades or even centuries and become the only new force comparable to the Evans family. When everyone was still talking about this new force, it had devoured countless dark forces and completely dominated Europe.
Thinking of this, Lowell’s eyes darkened. The rest was completely incomprehensible. It must be said that he didn’t know where to begin to explain the rest. When he stopped speaking, Lucia looked at him. There was no dodge in his eyes but seriousness.
“Did you compete with him for power?” » Lucia suddenly asked.
“Sort of. There are other reasons too. I’m sorry, Lucie. I don’t know how to tell you them right now,” Lowell said honestly.
“I don’t want to be deceived anymore.” Lucia’s voice sounded distant and ethereal.
“No, I’m not going to cheat on you. I won’t lie to you under any circumstances. Ever,” Lowell pulled Lucia’s shoulder and said word for word seriously.
Lucia didn’t say anything and the atmosphere was a little dull. The world without dissimulation relaxed Lucia a little. She would prefer if the others made it clear that they didn’t want to tell her the truth, while she didn’t want to be the last to know everything.
In Evans Group, Malcolm usually looked at the red dot on the screen and held out his hand again and again. He was the one who took Lucia away from him. It was so hard to hold her again.
“Why did you choose it?” » There was only sadness in Malcolm’s eyes.
“Vice CEO…the CEO said no one is allowed to disturb him, including you.” Bob stopped Enoch, who was rushing towards the CEO’s office without looking back, in time when he saw the latter.
After glancing at Bob, Enoch didn’t stop dead in his tracks. When he arrived at the door of the CEO’s office, he pushed the door and walked straight in without knocking. Looking coldly at the Unruly Enoch, Malcolm was about to say something, but was interrupted by Enoch.
“Malcolm, Grandma is out of breath. Sloan has issued a critical illness notice. There are reporters at the hospital. I guess word has spread,” Enoch said quickly without stopping .
“Go to the hospital,” Malcolm stood up and said in a rarely anxious tone.
Then, he quickly left the office with Enoch. On the way, neither of them spoke. Wilma’s serious illness was a blow to everyone in the Evans family. Even Malcolm was no exception. In the hearts of everyone in the Evans family, Wilma was the ancient god of the family.
The car stopped at the hospital’s VIP crossing. The passage had already been blocked by journalists. With serious faces, Malcolm and Enoch got out of the car. No matter how the reporters asked, they kept silent.
“It seems that the news is true. Otherwise, the Evans family would have denied the news, and the two brothers would not have arrived at the hospital at the same time.”
“It’s so strange. I haven’t seen Lucie. Was there a secret? Didn’t they say she was at home all the time?”
“Yes… But my friend told me that she once saw Lucia with another man. This man is also a man of power and status. He issued a ban, so the news didn’t spread been reported.”
The journalists chatted among themselves. Soon, they looked at each other and changed targets. If Wilma really died, the Evans Group would definitely publish the news. They would know the news sooner or later. Compared to that, they were more interested in the relationship between Lucia and Malcolm.
Soon, all the newspapers sent different people to do their best to besiege Lucia. No matter how tight the protection was, there would always be flaws.
