It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 199
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became a little weird because of Lucia’s words. Even Tandy’s eyes were filled with confusion. He silently asked Lucia with his eyes. However, Lucia responded to him with only a slight smile on her face. Then she walked to the center of the stage arm in arm with Tandy, took the microphone from her assistant, looked around, and said lightly after everyone was silent: “As we We all know, the current luxury market in China is exceptionally active. Now the Dresse Group is in charge of Queenword. Today, I hereby officially announce that Queenword’s flagship store in Strinas will be open for business. The precise date will be specified later. As for its subsidiary brand, Dream, we are looking for the strongest candidate to be its agent in public. Interested persons can negotiate with the external investment department of Dresse Group.”
After saying this, Lucia fixed her provocative eyes on Malcolm. What responded to her was the slight smile on his face. With a little dissatisfaction, Lucia withdrew his sight, held Tandy’s arm, and continued the social engagement tonight. What had happened earlier seemed to be an illusion. At the end of the party, Malcolm approached Lucia. All the world was sensible enough to leave them alone.
“Wildcat, we will see each other again soon. Remember your promise to Alexandria,” Malcolm whispered into Lucia’s ear in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.
“You…” Lucia looked a little exasperated.
Soon, Malcolm left Lucia’s ear. Lucia controlled her expression and returned to normal. After they said goodbye as if nothing had happened, Malcolm left the banquet hall first. After he left, Lucia and Tandy also left. The rest of the party was left to Johnny.
“Lucia…” Tandy said hesitantly, not knowing how to continue.
“Since I chose to confront everyone, why didn’t I admit it? Even a fool could see the fact, right?” Lucia said indifferently.
“Lucia, even if one day you are emotionally attached to him again, you won’t be able to stop me from doing what I want to do,” Tandy said lightly after looking at Lucia for a long time. There was a trace of firmness and menace in his tone.
Lucie remained silent. When her eyes met Malcolm’s, the silent emotion and conflicting thoughts could still make her feel helpless. She used to think she had calmed down, but waves easily stirred in her heart. Tandy didn’t corner her.
“It’s so tiring,” Lucia replied after thinking for a long time before getting out of the car.
When Tandy watched Lucia walk away, a hint of coldness crossed her eyes. Nobody could stop him. Lowering his eyes slightly, he focused his attention on the current condition of the road and returned to Lowell’s villa.
On such a hot summer night in Strinas, the scorching heat of the earth dissipated and the wind was not so dull. Lucia sat at the door of the villa for a long time to expel the smell of alcohol before slowly turning around and entering the house. The house was already quiet, leaving only dim night lights.
The next day, Strinas newspapers reported details of the opening ceremony of the Dresse Group subsidiary. Different newspapers had different goals. The economic newspapers showed all kinds of favorable analyses. The biggest entertainment weekly published the photos of Lucia and Malcolm dancing, hugging and kissing on the dance floor. All kinds of speculations about the newspaper attracted public discussion. The most shocking news was that Lucia was still alive. The ambiguous atmosphere of the party revealed that they could rekindle their relationship at any time.
These photos alone could activate people’s enthusiasm for gossip. When the same newspaper was sent to Malcolm, Bob was surprised that Malcolm didn’t ask him to stop the spread of gossip about the newspaper, and an ambiguous smile was on Malcolm’s face the whole time. The faint smile on his face made it difficult for others to guess what he was thinking at the moment.
In the glass-roofed villa, Lucia, who had suffered from insomnia all night, now had slight dark circles under her eyes. In her mind, Malcolm’s provocative k**s, his familiar touch, and his faint smile appeared alternately. Everything came to Lucia’s mind like a movie. She tossed and turned all night.
“Mom…you didn’t sleep well,” Kathy said worriedly, noticing something was wrong with Lucia.
“Did you sleep well, Kathy? Lucia tried to distract her.
“Did mom couldn’t sleep well, I couldn’t sleep well either…Kathy loves mom the most”, Kathy usually rubbed Lucia’s chin against her head and said like a spoiled child.
Her sweet words were always the best medicine for Lucia. Lucie chuckled. On the other hand, after greeting Lucia, Lowe stood quietly aside. Lucia grabbed her children’s hands and walked into the dining room, enjoying family time on morning. For a long time, this sense of belonging was Lucia’s best motivation. Only for the sake of her two little children, she had to do her best to cheer herself up and gain a firm footing. After
breakfast , Lucia kissed the little guys on the forehead. Then she got in the car and drove to the Dresse Group branch in Strinas in person. She had to endure all the storms alone in the aftermath.
After Lucia left, Lowe glanced at Kathy, who was playing wildly with Leila, took a newspaper from the table, and returned to his room. He carefully closed the door, spread the newspaper on the table and looked carefully at the photos of Lucia and the man called Malcolm.
Even though it was just photos, he could easily feel the invisible tension and attraction between Lucia and Malcolm. These have not been affected at all over time. Lowe frowned and looked confused. A vague feeling in his heart made him frown harder and harder.
Perhaps it was because he had not had a father since birth that Lowe was more sensitive than his peers. When they were in Spain, everyone in the castle took it for granted that the deceased count was the father of him and Kathy. However, Lowe was never able to feel the innate kinship. And Lucia had never told them clearly who their father was. This kind of slight suspicion had already planted a seed of doubt in Lowe’s heart.
However, Malcolm’s face in the photo gave him a strange feeling of familiarity. But a child’s ambivalent mentality and embarrassment could not give him a good impression of the man in the photo.
Lowe skillfully turned on the computer and connected the network. His short fingers tapped on the keyboard. When Malcolm Evans’ name was entered into the search engine, tens of thousands of records came up. And Lucia’s name appeared in all the information relating to Malcolm. Lowe opened several web pages at random. Although he couldn’t recognize many words, the large pictures on the webpage showed Lucia and Malcolm’s wedding photos.
“I understand.” Lowe lowers his long eyelashes and nods his head.
Mother and son had reached an agreement. Whether it was good or bad, It was no longer under Lucie’s control. She turned off the light for Lowe and went out to sleep. Looking at the moonlight shining outside the window, she stood silently. The people were in danger of
being dug up by the bes. Since there was no way to resist, she could only accept him ceremoniously.
Were this man and his mother husband and wife? If so, why did her mother leave China to go to Spain? With his eyebrows still tight, Lowe opened another web page, seeing the news that Lucia had been buried by Malcolm. Was this the reason? The man had thought his mother was dead and that was why he and Kathy didn’t have a father?
All kinds of confusion haunted Lowe. Even though he was a gifted student who passed the test and skipped a grade, he still couldn’t understand these complicated emotions smoothly. They were too far beyond his age. Feeling a little bored, Lowe turned off the computer and pushed all the messy images out of his mind.
However, the only thing he was sure of was that in addition to the deep relationship between Malcolm and Lucia, there must be an inseparable b***d relationship between Malcolm and him and Kathy.
“What’s wrong, Lowe? Come down and get some dessert,” Leila asked curiously seeing the annoyance on his face after knocking on the door and entering.
She had seen the twins grow up. In her impression, Kathy was like ordinary children who liked to play wild games and act like a spoiled brat. On the other hand, Lowe was much more mature than children of the same age. On his face there was indifference and calmness, which was rare to see on the faces of other children. It was rare for him to play and communicate with his peers. And the annoyance never showed on his face.
“Thank you, Leila,” Lowe said in a calm voice.
Throughout the afternoon, Lowe remained unusually silent. As soon as Lucia entered the house in the evening, she noticed him easily. She looked at Leila in confusion, and Leila shrugged to show that she didn’t know why. As if nothing had happened, Lucia took the two children to wash their hands and have dinner together.
After dinner, Lucia played with Kathy for a long time, while Lowe returned to his room in silence. After coaxing Kathy into falling asleep, Lucia knocked gently on Lowe’s bedroom door. It wasn’t until much later that the door opened slowly. With his little head exposed, Lowe looked at Lucia then opened the door to let her in.
“Mom…” To her surprise, before Lucia said anything, Lowe spoke first.
“What’s wrong with you today?” Can you tell me why you are unhappy?” Lucia pulled Lowe to sit on the edge of the bed together.
Lucia never treated him like a child. She only treated him like an adult. The two kept the same height, and Lucia waited quietly for him to speak.
“Malcolm Evans is our father, isn’t he?” Lowe asked without hesitation.
“Yes,” Lucia admitted after remaining silent for a long moment. “But don’t let Kathy know that. Her world is very simple. I don’t want her to be too involved. Lowell, you are the same. I can’t decide what happens in the future,” Lucia said quickly , but she knew Lowe could understand what she meant.
“I get it.” Lowe lowered his long eyelashes and nodded.
Mother and son had reached an agreement. Whether it was right or wrong, This was no longer in Lucia’s control. She turned off the light for Lowe and walked out of her room. Looking at the moonlight shining outside the window, she stood silently. Taboos were in danger of
being dug up from below. Since there was no way to resist, she could only accept it calmly.
