It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 74

Fear springs from Lucia’s heart. She patted her chest to calm herself. After making sure no one was following her, she quickly headed toward the intersection where she and Lowell parted ways last time. But to her surprise, he wasn’t there when she arrived. She was about to make a phone call when a familiar voice rang in her ears.

“Get in the car.”

A car stopped next to Lucia. The window was rolled down, and Lowell’s perfectly sculpted face appeared. “If he and Malcolm appeared before me at the same time, who would I be in love with?” As this strange question crossed Lucia’s mind, her face flushed.

‘What am I thinking?’ Under Lowell’s inquisitive and perplexed gaze, she quickly got into the car and closed the door.

“What were you thinking about just now? Lowell asked directly.

“Huh? Nothing. I just thought of a stupid question,” Lucia said awkwardly.

“If you met your husband and I at the same time, who would you choose? Lowell asked casually. It seemed he had seen through Lucia’s mind.

“Oh my God! How did you know that?” Lucia exclaimed and patted his cheeks unconsciously. “Was I too obvious?” »

Seeing the slight smile on his face, she knew that she had already expressed her thoughts on his face just now. It was really embarrassing. At this moment, Lucia’s face turned redder with embarrassment. If only she could find a hole in the car to hide. Fortunately, Lowell didn’t ask any more questions. The slight smile just stayed on his face. The car moved steadily.

“Where are we going?” Lucia changed the subject to ease her embarrassment.

Lowell did not answer. He was just driving at a constant speed. Little by little, the steel and concrete of the city disappeared from Lucia’s sight. Instead, she felt the fresh air. But because the night was dark, she couldn’t see the scene in front of her clearly. All she could see was a little starlight. However, as soon as the car stopped, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh my God! It’s so beautiful!”

It turned out that the starlight Lucia thought were countless fireflies sparkling in the night. They were like shining stars on a black cloth. Each firefly seemed to be using up its lifespan limited to burn as much as she could, creating a magnificent moment. “Is this the most beautiful starry sky in S City that Lowell mentioned?” Lucia turned to look at him.

She saw him sitting on the grass casually without saying anything. Then he looked up at the sky. Lucia looked up as well, following his gaze. And she was surprised. They were real stars. The stars had not been polluted by exhaust gases, clouds or various external factors. As the stars shone in the sky, the night was bright as day.

The lights emitted by the fireflies seemed to fade. After doing their best to enlighten themselves, they died in silence. Perhaps their lives have disappeared, but their radiance has remained in people’s memories.

Lucia was also sitting on the grass next to Lowell. Then she gradually lay down and quietly looked at the stars above her head. The first time she felt there were stars in S City, she was in Malcolm’s apartment, which was high enough to provide a good view. The second time was when she was almost shot and killed. But at that moment, the stars didn’t seem as bright as they did tonight. At this moment, she was looking at the brightest stars in S City.

“Lowell, how did you know about this place?” Lucia asked contentedly. His gloomy mood in recent days was swept away in an instant.

“There’s nothing I can’t do if I really want to.” Lowell spoke lightly, and she could vaguely see his warm smile.

“What do you mean?” Lucia asked, confused.

“After dinner that evening, I noticed that you seemed to be in a bad mood. So I thought, if I take you to see the starry sky, maybe your mood will brighten. As for the fireflies , just take them as my gift to you,” Lowell explained.

“Lowell…You…” Lucia didn’t know what to say.

Because of his words, the atmosphere around them seemed to have become a unintimate and awkward. Lucia felt a little uncomfortable, but Lowell still seemed calm. Lucia thought, ‘Maybe he doesn’t mean it. Maybe I’m thinking too much. She silently looked at his face impeccable side. Her eyes darkened, then she sighed and looked again at the stars in the sky.

“Sorrow doesn’t suit you. To me, you are an energetic and passionate woman,” Lowell said softly.

“What do you mean? I can’t cry or be sad, and I can only laugh and be energetic?” Lucia said angrily as she suddenly sat up. “That would be

great.” Noticing that she was becoming energetic again, Lowell looked at her and smiled warmly.

“F**k you!” Lucia spat, pushing him.

However, he grabbed her hand and pulled her against him. He turned around and pressed her under him. She was so stunned that she looked at him with wide eyes opened. He stared at her for a long time before sitting down and pulling her up from the ground. Lowell returned to his sitting position and looked up at the starry sky again. It was as if the intimate interaction between them had never happened.

“Are you scared? Do you get scared so easily?” he asked lightly, looking at Lucia, who looked a little scared.

“Kind of…” she answered honestly.

She felt agitated all of a sudden. . ‘Is it because Malcolm and I have been fighting a lot recently? Or is it because of the strange atmosphere around us?’ When Lowell suddenly turned around and pressed her under him, she wasn’t afraid. But her heartbeat became abnormally fast. In fact, she even felt a little excited. No wonder people said that when a woman felt empty, alone and hurt, a gentle man could easily win her heart and make her unable to resist.

“What is on your mind? Do you think if we are like having a stealth love affair? » Lowell asked casually.

“What?” Lucia’s heart, which had already calmed down, beat wildly again.

“Hey, did you take me out tonight to look at the stars or give me a heart attack?” she asked angrily after calming down for a moment.

“What did you see at the restaurant that day that made you feel depressed for so long?” Lowell asked again.

“Are you also interested in gossip?” Lucia asked, a little surprised.

“I’m interested in gossip about you.” Lowell did not hide his thoughts.

“Actually, it was very simple. I saw Malcolm having dinner with another woman. And they both almost kissed,” Lucia explained with a shrug.

“Is that why you’ve been so depressed?” » Lowell was so surprised that he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“No.” Lucia’s tone became a little dull.

“Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, don’t force yourself,” Lowell said softly when he sensed her loneliness.

She raised her head and looked at him. For a moment, she felt that her image and Malcolm’s overlapped. Malcolm was so nice to her too. Before these dirty things were exposed, she felt that she was still a happy woman.

Lucia’s eyes became a little unfocused. She subconsciously reached out and touched Lowell’s face as if he was the person she loved deeply. What’s more, she was looking for the happiness and joy that she once had on such a gentle face.

Lowell grabbed his hand to stop him. He was not interested in taking the place of another man. But she continued to caress his face stubbornly. Suddenly, Lowell lowered his head and placed a soft k**s on Lucia’s lips. Unlike Malcolm, Lowell smelled like tobacco and soap. And that brought Lucia out of her trance.

“I’m sorry.” Lucia apologized awkwardly. “How could I be so fascinated by his face? »

“It’s okay. But since I stole a k**s from you, we’re having a romance now,” Lowell teased with a smile.

“Do men really care about having children to continue their family line?” Lucia asked suddenly, ignoring Lowell’s words.

“It depends. The bigger the family, the more they care,” Lowell said objectively. He looked at Lucia curiously, wondering why she asked such a strange question.

“So what will happen if a woman marries into a big family and can’t have children? » Lucie asked another question.

“Well, either she has to tolerate her husband having a mistress, or she files for divorce. Lucia, are you talking about yourself?” Lowell asked and looked at Lucia.

“Yes.” After such a short answer, Lucia said nothing more.

“If he abandons you because of this, it means he doesn’t appreciate a treasure like you.” Lowell spoke softly, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“It’s okay. If you like me, then I’ll go to you,” Lucia said jokingly and took a deep breath.

“Okay,” Lowell replied softly.

“Thanks for tonight, Lowell. Thanks to you, I saw the beautiful starry sky and the magnificent fireflies. I will never forget tonight, Lucia said sincerely, looking at him.

“You’re welcome. Come to me whenever you need me,” Lowell replied with a smile. “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back.”

He then stood up, looked at Lucia still sitting on the ground, and held out his hand. She looked at him, placed her hand on his palm and let him pull her up. Lucia had been depressed for too long, and she hadn’t relaxed like this. Looking at the starry sky, she really didn’t want to leave. All she wanted to do was continue to lie lazily until dawn.

Lowell opened the car door for her and let her inside. Then he turned to the driver’s seat and drove away. Neither of them spoke along the way.

“Sir, Mrs. Evans is moving. She must return the same route,” Kaleb reported dutifully.

Malcolm stared darkly at the flashing red dot on the screen. It had been almost three hours since Lucia had left the apartment. The red dot stopped somewhere on the outskirts of S City. He didn’t move again until two hours later.

“Where the hell did she go?” »

The feeling of being betrayed and being unable to control the situation made Malcolm so angry that he threw the things on his desk. No one around dared to make a sound, and the air seemed to have frozen. Everyone’s breathing was clearly heard, and it seemed as if they were about to run out of breath.

“Give me the result tomorrow,” Malcolm said coldly.

Then he turned around, went up the spiral staircase and returned to the apartment. Looking at the dark expression on Malcolm’s face, Enoch closed his mouth knowingly. He left the hospital and hailed a taxi to his apartment.
