It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 61

When Malcolm and Lucia appeared at the banquet, the crowd was in uproar. The host of the banquet hurriedly came out to greet them. Everyone knew that Malcolm never attended banquets, no matter how big they were.

It was always Enoch who attended on his behalf. The main reason why Malcolm attended the banquet this time was to bring Lucia, his new wife, into his social circle. He wanted to introduce her to his world, which was totally different from hers.

“Sir. Evans, it’s an honor to have you here,” Bruce said in a voice full of respect and excitement.

“I’m flattered,” Malcolm replied in an emotionless voice.

Lucia quietly pulled away with a smile. But there was emotion in his weak smile.

After all, a woman was just an accessory in a man’s world. No matter how talented she was, she had to learn to act stupid. All she had to do was quietly observe the others. She needed to use all the resources available around her.

She should not behave in a high-profile manner like an eye-catching butterfly. Otherwise, people would say bad things about her behind her back.

“She must be Mrs. Evans.” Sir. Evans, you truly married a woman with both talent and beauty.” Bruce said such flattering words without even thinking about it.

Lucia just smiled faintly. She nodded, but remained silent. Bruce felt a little embarrassed, but soon his expression returned to normal. As the host, he led today’s two important guests into the room.

“If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. We will Let’s go back for a bit,” Malcolm said, feeling a little sorry for Lucia. He noticed that she was holding his lower abdomen the whole time.

“Go ahead. I can take care of myself,” Lucia replied in a tired voice, but she smiled gratefully.

She didn’t know why but the sharp pain in her stomach kept coming back again and again. The tight dress and high heels she wore added to her discomfort. Lucia got up late in the morning, so she didn’t eat anything. Then she only had a simple lunch at noon. Her weak physical strength and current discomfort told her that she needed to find a place to rest.

“Let me take you there,” Malcolm said calmly.

He took her hand and walked towards the rest area in the corner. After letting her sit down, he brought her some snacks and drinks before leaving.

The rest area was not very isolated. But for people who were busy socializing with each other, it was the most uninteresting place to stay. For them, staying there was just a waste of time. They were there to have fun and socialize after all. Lucia frowned and ate the food on the plate. Sometimes she couldn’t help but admire high society women. It seemed that a small piece of cake was already enough to fill them. Looking at the exquisite slice of cake on the plate, Lucia began to miss Kenneth’s mousse cake. It was perfectly delicious.

“Ms. Evans, I’m a reporter for X Weekly. Why are you here alone? Why don’t you stay with Mr. Evans?”

Hearing the reporter’s voice, Lucia was so surprised that her grip on the spoon in her hand loosened. It fell onto the plate, making a crunching sound. To the reporter, her reaction meant there must be something wrong with her. It must be some sort of guilty conscience and overwhelming fear.

In an instant, the once-quiet rest area was filled with reporters. More than a dozen microphones were pointed at Lucia. The unusual disturbance in the rest area also attracted the attention of others. Everyone turned their eyes there.

“Mrs. Evans, it is said that you and Mr. Evans didn’t get along well as husband and wife right after getting married. Is that true? Can you say something about that?”

Trickier questions arose one after the other. Obviously, the journalists wouldn’t stop until they got what they wanted. Lucia frowned, thinking about how to respond.

It was so embarrassing.

Just a small flaw in his words would definitely cause countless problems. She had to be careful in what she said. It really wasn’t a fun place for her.

“How do you know my husband and I don’t get along well?” » asked Lucia impatiently.

All the journalists were stunned when they heard his question. Of course, they didn’t personally witness Malcolm and Lucia not getting along well. They were just speculating based on a picture. And it turns out that Lucia was alone again this evening, so the imagination of the journalists was awakened. If Malcolm were only here, they would never dare ask the disgusting private question that the Evans family hated the most.

“Why is everyone so curious about my wife? »

Malcolm’s indifferent voice sounded behind them. When he saw the commotion in the rest area and the reporters surrounding Lucia, he frowned and immediately walked towards them. He didn’t care who he was talking to and if that person was important to the Evans family.

Hands in his pockets, he advanced step by step towards her. The journalists made way for him. Lucia put down the things in her hands and breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and walked towards Malcolm. As soon as Malcolm approached her, he naturally hugged her. His gaze swept over the journalists. There was only coldness in his eyes. Everyone who felt his gaze shuddered unconsciously.

“Mr. Evans, what can you say about the rumors that you are having problems with your married life?”

There were always a few journalists who weren’t afraid to offend Malcolm. When Bruce saw that Malcolm was heading towards the reporters, he quickly followed. He was so distressed to see Lucia sitting in the center, surrounded by journalists.

He still remembered what happened at the Evans group cocktail party. At that time, Malcolm and Lucia were not yet married. But when Mina offended her, Malcolm eliminated her family’s company. This time the same thing happened on his territory. The more Bruce thought about it, the more scared he became. He quickly signaled the bodyguards to deal with it. But before the bodyguards could approach the crowd, Malcolm’s cold voice echoed in the hall: “You don’t need to worry about these people at all. Evans Group doesn’t need them to make things better.”

Although he was talking to Lucia, everyone knew that he was warning the journalists around not to harass her anymore. It was also his way of giving Lucia the right to be a volunteer. She could ignore these reporters, no matter how nasty and threatening their reports were.

This undoubtedly told the crowd that no one could covet Lucia’s position.

“Wildcat…” Malcolm said softly, looking at Lucia.

Lucia met his gaze and raised her eyebrows. She didn’t know what he had in mind. While she was still confused, Malcolm leaned down and gave her a soft, deep k**s. She was so surprised that her eyes widened. But soon she also responded to his k**s.

The reporters were so excited that they quickly raised their cameras and took photos of the scene in front of them. They wanted to use the photos for tomorrow’s headline. Rich and powerful families usually had a lot of conflict, and it was not easy to understand anything about them. Since some of them liked to put on a show, many people naturally watched what happened.

After the k**s, Malcolm supported Lucia, who was still a little weak, and let her rest on her side. The journalists quickly dispersed. After all, they had gotten what they wanted. Seeing this scene, Bruce signaled the bodyguards to leave. Then he told the security guards not to let journalists near Malcolm and Lucia again.

“I’m fine. You don’t need to stay here with me,” Lucia said lightly, waving her hand.

“Really? Don’t be so stubborn,” Malcolm said in a low voice, looking at her.

“No, I’m really fine.”

“Then let’s walk around for a while. We will come back here later. Are you okay?” Malcolm said.

“Okay.” Lucia stood up immediately.

Then they both walked back into the banquet hall arm in arm. Everyone was sensible enough to pretend they didn’t know what was going on. had happened earlier. They continued talking to each other as usual and exchanged information beneficial to themselves.

Suddenly, Lucia felt Malcolm’s body stiffen. She raised her head and looked at him in confusion. She looked in the direction of his gaze and saw a woman.

The woman was not tall, but she had an impeccable figure. Her eyes were so bright that Lucia felt that she saw herself in this woman. She was not arrogant, but she had a strong aura. She was like a bright planet in the sky that could not be ignored. Her long straight hair that fell casually on her shoulders swayed beautifully with the wind, making her so attractive.

Indeed, she was a woman of great beauty. Such graceful oriental beauty mixed with the enthusiasm of western beauty.

Lucia suddenly felt Malcolm let go of her arm. She turned her head and looked at him. His arm slid down gently, and he put his hand in his pocket. As she watched him closely, she noticed his hand in his pocket clenching into a fist. His eyes seemed calm but full of danger.

Lucia was about to ask Malcolm something when the woman in the distance walked towards them. She and Malcolm looked into each other’s eyes, and even Lucia could easily feel the spark. Her female instinct told her that they knew each other and that they were close to each other. As a sane person, she chose to keep quiet and wait for what would happen next.

As his eyes were fixed on the woman walking towards them, Malcolm wrapped his arm firmly around Lucia’s waist. Lucia frowned but soon remained calm.

“Hey, Malcolm!” It’s been a long time.”

The woman’s voice was so elegant and attractive. Lucia raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman. The woman also met her eyes. But the woman quickly turned her eyes to Malcolm as if she didn’t see at all Lucia.

Lucia was sullen and silent. The woman deliberately ignored her. A slight trace of jealousy rose in her heart. However, she immediately hid this emotion deep in her heart. Lucia just looked at the woman in front of her.

“Yes, it’s been a long time,” Malcolm said indifferently.

“Why don’t you introduce her to me?” » asked the woman without taking her eyes off Malcolm.

“Well… It seems that the public relations department of Evans Group is not doing its job well. It turns out that some people still don’t know that my wife is,” Malcolm said coldly.

“Oh, are you Mrs. Evans?” Nice to meet you. My name is Renee. I’m the executive director of SNG Radio.” Renée didn’t seem to care who Lucia was. She introduced herself with a smile and extended her hand to Lucia. Lucia shook Renée’s hand with raised eyebrows. It seemed

he There was a trace of provocation on Renee’s face as she shook Lucia’s hand. Even her eyes showed a trace of contradiction and hatred. Lucia was sure

that the woman in front of her didn’t like her. But she shrugged just shoulders, not taking it seriously at all. Malcolm looked at Renee indifferently, took Lucia’s hand and left without saying anything more.

Lucia could still feel the burning gaze behind her, although they were already far away. She thought Renee wanted to kill her with her eyes.
