It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 148

When the sun of the new day shone on the bed through the slit in the curtain, Lucia was awakened by the unusually dazzling sun. Squinting slightly, she adapted to the dazzling southern European sun. Lucia, who had not fully recovered from jet lag, couldn’t tell what time it was. She just felt sleepy and uncomfortable.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Lucia answered casually. The door opened and a stranger walked in with clothes in her hands. She respectfully greeted Lucia. Then she headed towards her bed.

“Madam, my name is Leila. Please allow me to change your clothes.” She spoke Chinese fluently.

Chinese? Hearing the familiar language, Lucia didn’t know what Leila called her. Taking the clothes prepared by Leila, Lucia refused her service and entered the bathroom alone. Leila quickly cleaned the room and packed for today’s trip. When Lucia came out of the bathroom, she saw the carefully packed luggage. She looked at Leila in confusion.

“Ma’am, Count Lowell said he would take you on a trip today,” Leila replied respectfully.

” Madam ? » Lucia came back to her senses and looked at Leila in confusion. “Did Lowell ask you to call me that?” she asked herself.

“He didn’t object to us calling you that, so that’s all.” Leila’s words showed her absolute loyalty to Lowell.

Lucia gave up arguing with her. Looking at Leila, Lucia quickly thought of Bob. An absolutely loyal subordinate, no matter how she brainwashed them, would always keep their original idea. Because they only cared about their masters, not her, a stranger.

Leila followed Lucia out of the room, carrying the luggage in her hands. Seeing Lucia coming out, Lowell walked up to her, took her hand naturally, went downstairs and walked towards the dining table.

“Did you ask them to call me ma’am?” » Lucia asked frankly.

“Lucia, sooner or later you will be the hostess, right? Besides, there is something in common everywhere. You need a proper identity. There will always be times when I can’t take good care of you here. Just take it as a protective role, until the day you are truly ready to accept this title. Okay?” Lowell explained seriously.

Lucia didn’t say anything more but lowered her head to eat. After a while, she felt something was wrong. She was not used to a dining table. eat without Catherine.

“Where is Kathryn?” » Lucia changed the subject and asked indifferently.

“Have you forgotten? Kathryn has three semesters. This is Europe. After the new year, she will have to go back to school. I have arranged a language school for her. In the short term, she has to live in school to adapt to the environment and language, so she won’t appear here for the time being,” Lowell explained.

Lucie nodded. She remained silent. Soon, she finished her breakfast . Lowell had been waiting for her nearby. Lucia looked at the two large bags of luggage with a confused look.

“I’ll take you to stay in Toledo for two days,” Lowell explained casually upon seeing Lucia’s confusion.

Lucia didn’t not refused. She nodded. They walked out of the castle together. A car was already waiting at the gate. A servant quickly opened the door next to the passenger seat and let Lucia in. Lucia was a little surprised, but soon, her surprise disappeared after Lowell sat in the driver’s seat. It turned out that Lowell would be driving the car, not a professional driver. Suddenly, Lucia glanced at Lowell. Did that mean they were alone on this trip? There would be no one else to accompany them.

“Just you and me. I haven’t arranged anything. Let’s see where to stay after we get to Toledo. You’ll make the choice. Okay?” Lowell asked, looking at Lucia.

“Okay,” Lucia replied.

The car drove along Madrid, towards Toledo, which was more than 70 kilometers away. It was the ancient capital of Spain, also a political, economic and cultural center. It was known worldwide for its preservation of different architectural styles and its comprehensive and brilliant historical and cultural heritage.

It took them over an hour to get there. Lucia looked out the car window at the natural and beautiful scenery. She was breathing the fresh air here. Somehow she thought of Bhaktapur. Things had changed. She was traveling, but the destination and the companion were different. And his state of mind was also totally different. Something had slowly changed.

Toledo was a small city with a small population, but it had an incomparably prosperous tourism industry. Family inns could be seen everywhere. The car was parked in the parking lot. Lucia randomly found a convenient and romantic family hostel. Without any objection, Lowell followed Lucia and began talking with the owner.

After a while, Lucia found that Lowell frowned. She looked at him in confusion. Was there something wrong? Subconsciously, Lucia looked around the inn and found nothing unusual. Soon, Lowell turned and looked at Lucia. There seemed to be a bit of contradiction and expectation in his eyes.

“Lucia, there is only one room left. Do you want to change locations?” Lowell explained briefly.

Lucy frowned. She stared at Lowell for a long moment. Then she looked at the bustling crowd in the street. It occurred to him that today was the weekend. If they left, they might discover that this was the case everywhere. If they were unlucky, they might not even find accommodation. Lucia didn’t want to stay in a five-star hotel, which would only be luxury and empty.

“No need,” Lucia finally said.

Looking at Lowell’s surprised eyes, she confirmed her answer. After a while, Lowell smiled slightly and turned around to continue talking with the owner. After a while, he paid the deposit and room fee, took the key given by the owner, and went upstairs with Lucia. Unexpectedly, Lucia did not refuse, which made Lowell’s heart rise to his throat.

They went to the room and left the luggage. The hostel was halfway up a mountain in Toledo. Once the window was opened, they could see the full view of Toledo. There didn’t seem to be any clusters of skyscrapers in Europe. Sometimes Lucia couldn’t help but sigh at the protection of antiquities and history by Europeans. Differently, in Strinas, the last cultural relics would be washed away by modern civilization, making people unable to find them. All that remained was the coldness and cruelty brought by the reinforced cement.

“You seem to like this kind of aimless traveling, don’t you?” » Lowell said softly, looking at the distracted Lucia.

“Yes. I don’t have to think too much about where to go. Such a life is quite good. If possible, I really want to open a small inn and live in a small place. When I don’t want to work, I can just travel casually. I don’t want to be like before, making a living without a higher level of pursuit.” To his surprise, Lucia said a lot.

Lowell pulled Lucia into his arms from behind. Obviously, he felt that Lucia’s body was stiff, but unexpectedly, she soon relaxed. This kind of change was absolutely a pleasant surprise for Lowell. This meant that Lucia was no longer willing to hide in her own shell and no longer cared as much about the scars Malcolm had brought her. She tried her best to get out of the quagmire step by step.

“Lowell, do you know that I met him for the first time also on a trip. I thought one day that we would never see each other again. It was just a memory. But when I am returned to Strinas, we met again by chance. So I think it was destined. You are really the biggest surprise of my life. I always thought that one day we will be like this. I think I I’ll get there one day.”

Suddenly, Lucia turned around. She didn’t struggle to free herself from his arms. She just looked at him indifferently and spoke seriously. After saying that, she tiptoed forward and gently kissed his lips. Then she quickly left while he was in a trance.

“Lucie…” Lowell stopped Lucia who was about to leave.

Lucia glanced at Lowell, pointed to the church not far away, and quickly went downstairs. Lowell shook his head helplessly and followed Lucia downstairs. However, such a Lucie made him happy. A tender love enveloped him. It seemed that only when he was with Lucia, he would not be as cold, arrogant and ruthless as usual.

The Cathedral of Toledo was one of the most famous churches in Spain and even the whole world. Although it was primarily Gothic, it also contained many other architectural elements. It was the result of the strenuous efforts of the most famous architects in the world at the time.

Lucia always had an incomparable desire for such a cathedral. But such cathedrals were rare in his home country. Since she arrived in Toledo, she has to take a close look at the famous cathedral. Together with the tourists, Lucia entered the cathedral and carefully looked at every delicate corner here.

“Do you like it here?” » Lowell asked looking at Lucia who was a little obsessed with the place.

“Emm. Today’s architectures are much inferior to those of the Renaissance. There is no imagination and innovation, and tradition has been forgotten. There are only concrete walls , without the vitality and charm given by history. Look at this cathedral. It’s a real work of architecture”, sighs Lucia.

“If possible, how about we hold our wedding here?” » Lowell asked casually.

Lucia looked at him and didn’t answer his question. She continued to follow the crowd forward. Without asking any more questions, Lowell just held Lucia’s hand to keep them from dispersing into the crowd. Lucia smiled slightly and held his hand back. Sometimes they didn’t need to say too much. They just needed a simple action to understand each other’s thoughts.

“Lucia, are you really starting to let your guard down?” Lowell asked silently in his heart, looking at Lucia who was in the forefront.

After leaving the cathedral, Lucia seemed to have forgotten that it was the New Year’s holiday. Street stores in Toledo were already closed. She found a random restaurant for dinner. They returned to the inn. When they arrived, it was already late at night. Lowell asked Lucia to take a shower first.

“Oh my God…” Suddenly, Lucia screamed from the bathroom.

Lowell rushed into the bathroom. He didn’t find anything unusual except the water from the shower head. He looked at Lucia in confusion then quickly turned his head away. Lucia screamed again. She was completely naked now. She quickly grabbed a bath towel and wrapped her naked body. After a moment, Lowell turned around and looked at Lucia in confusion.

“Nothing. It’s my fault. I was used to hot water right in the villa. Unconsciously, I turned to the maximum and waited for hot water. But the hot water here is on the left. I got up without hesitation and I was frozen”, Lucia explained what had happened earlier.

In the cold winter, anyone who was dumped by cold water screamed. She felt really bad. Lucia just didn’t expect Lowell to break in. Glancing at Lucia, Lowell quickly adjusted the water temperature in the shower head. After confirming that there was no problem, he signaled Lucia to take a shower. Soon, the bathroom was shrouded in steam caused by the hot water, and a vague intimate atmosphere reigned between the two people.

Lucia’s face turned red from the rising temperature. It seemed that she also felt the inappropriate intimate atmosphere at the moment. She wanted to say something, but was pulled into Lowell’s arms. He quickly lowered his head and kissed Lucia’s lips. Lucia was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly in shock, but Lowell took advantage and stuck his tongue in Lucia’s mouth. Sighing silently in her heart, Lucia slowly stretched out her hands and wrapped them around Lowell’s neck.

Without a doubt, Lucia’s initiative was the best aphrodisiac for Lowell. He removed the bath towel wrapped around Lucia’s body and unconsciously ran his hands over Lucia’s beautiful body. His hands wandered to Lucia’s chest. Lowell felt the anxious, wild desire in his lower body. His lower body had obviously changed. The hard desire, through his pants, was against Lucia’s lower abdomen, as if asking her opinion.

His hand touched Lucia’s soft breast. He gently rubbed her breasts. Unexpectedly, when he touched her nipple, Lucia screamed. Lowell quickly let go of Lucia and examined Lucia to see if she was in pain.

“What’s wrong?” Lowell asked anxiously.

“No. It hurts a little.” Lucia looked a little embarrassed.

Lowell’s desire for an e******n gradually diminished in such a situation. Lucia didn’t know why she felt pain when Lowell touched the sensitive part of her chest. The pain was slight, but she felt extremely uncomfortable. Lucia frowned slightly and smiled awkwardly.

If she guessed right, her period would come soon. Lucia’s periods were quite abnormal due to the chaos these days. And every time before her period came, she would feel chest pain when touched, which always drove Lucia crazy. But she was visibly at a loss in such an atmosphere.

“Take a shower. I’ll go out first,” Lowell whispered, dissolving Lucia’s embarrassment.

When the door was closed, Lucia went back to take a shower. She washed herself with lukewarm water. She quickly washed and dried her hair with the hairdryer prepared by the owner. Lucia put on her pajamas and came out of the bathroom. As expected, she saw Lowell lying on the bed casually, as if nothing had happened yet.

“I’m done. You’re going to take a shower.” Lucia tried to look calm.

“Okay. Go to sleep if you’re tired. There was still a hint of worry in Lowell’s tone.

Lucie nodded. Lowell approached Lucia and kissed her on the forehead. Then he walked into the bathroom. The sound of running water came from the bathroom.

The TV was on in Spanish. Of course, Lucia didn’t understand a single word. There were books lying carelessly on the bedside table. Lucia could only stare at the images in them. Bored and tired, Lucia felt sleepy throughout her body. She adjusted to a comfortable posture and slowly closed her eyes.

When Lowell walked out of the room bath, he saw Lucia sleeping soundly. He smiled with satisfaction in his eyes. He turned off the TV, leaving only a dim light at the bedside. He lifted a corner of the quilt, got on the bed, gently held Lucia in his arms and turned off the light.

It was dark in the room. There was only the light of the stars outside, illuminating the two people sleeping on the bed. The atmosphere was harmonious and intimate. But behind such a scene, there was a turbulent darkness.
