It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 95

Lucia gradually recovered her original biological clock. Every day, she either worked at home or went out to do research. Little by little, she also gets to know the members of her team. For her, chatting was one of the greatest pleasures of everyday life. Being able to have conversations on a wide range of topics with people from all over the world was like a dream come true. It gave Lucia a feeling of satisfaction that she had never felt at work before.

Ever since Lowell confessed his feelings to her that night, he always seemed to hover out of frame. He always appeared just when Lucia was about to go out, or when she had just finished a task. When she asked him about it, he never hid his intention and openly told her that he was waiting for her.

Sometimes Lucia felt uncomfortable about the situation. Her relationship with Lowell now reminded her of her relationship with Malcolm at the beginning. The only difference was that this time she wasn’t trying to escape, because she and Lowell got along well. She never had to wonder what Lowell was going to do. He was a direct man who never kept her in the dark about anything.

His character was completely different from Malcolm’s, and yet he sometimes reminded Lucia of Malcolm. Even though it had been a while since Malcolm had disappeared from her life, Lucia still felt a dull pain when she thought of him from time to time. And for now, Lowell seemed to be the best medicine to ease his pain.

Sitting at home, Lucia swallowed the millet congee in her bowl. Sometimes it felt like she and Kathryn had switched roles. She acted like the child who needed to be taken care of, while Kathryn acted like the adult, always taking good care of her. Kathryn prepared different meals every day to satisfy Lucia’s stomach. The bowl of congee that Lucia was eating now was so delicious that it made her m**n with satisfaction.

“Kathryn, it’s so nice to have you here,” Lucia said.

She loved the way Catherine silently took care of her. When Malcolm cared for her, there was no doubt that he was sincere, but it would make her feel a kind of pressure that she had never felt with Catherine. Kathryn was more like family who just looked after Lucia without telling her what she had done.

Lucia offered to pay the bills, but Kathryn told her they had already been paid by someone else. Hearing this, Lucia said nothing. She assumed it was Catherine’s guardian who had paid them. Then she said she would cover half of the living expenses, but Kathryn said the living expenses were already taken care of as well.

“See, I’m so nice to you. Now tell me, who is the man who sent you away?” A smirk appeared on Catherine’s face as she asked Lucia the question.

“A friend,” Lucia replied lightly, avoiding Catherine’s eyes.

“It’s not that simple, is it? It was obvious that Catherine didn’t believe Lucia at all.

“He’s a good friend that I love,” Lucia said slowly, trying to find a more appropriate way to describe her relationship with Lowell.

“A good friend you can sleep with? Catherine suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Lucia almost spit out the last mouthful of millet congee. “What do students learn in school these days? Kathryn shouldn’t be asking such questions at her age, she thought with a frown.

“What’s wrong? Lucia, you’re already separated from Malcolm. You’re practically divorced now. So even if something happens between you and another man, it doesn’t matter , is not it ?” Kathryn asked curiously, raising her eyebrows.

“Oh my God! What does your teacher teach you every day?” Lucia asked angrily.

It wasn’t that she was too conservative to discuss such things with other people. But at In her opinion, Catherine was too young for such a subject. Lucia didn’t want to be guilty of leading a child astray.

“Well, tell me what kind of person he is, at least,” Kathryn insisted. She was still excited to learn more about Lowell.

After thinking for a moment, Lucia gave the most accurate description of Lowell possible. “Well… he’s a very quiet, introverted guy. He doesn’t like talking to others very much. Sometimes it will be so quiet that you forget it is there. But the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that he’s actually a really enthusiastic person. And I like that I don’t have to spend too much time trying to guess what he’s thinking. He doesn’t hide anything from me. It’s very simple.”

“Lucia, do you like him?” Catherine asked, tilting her head.

“What do you mean?” asked Lucy.

“The kind of affection that can turn into love.” A playful smile appeared on Catherine’s face.

“I don’t know. I’ll let nature take its course. Some questions don’t have answers,” Lucia said lightly, ending the topic.

Kathryn made a face but said nothing more. They both cleaned the table and got ready to go out. Just before leaving, Lucia remembered that she had left her phone upstairs, so she rushed to her room. By the time she grabbed her phone and went back downstairs, Kathryn had already disappeared.

Lucia shrugged and smiled. She couldn’t help but remember the conversation between her and Catherine just now. But then she pushed those thoughts out of her head and quickly walked out. Today, for work, she needed to know the opinions of consumers. This was Lucia’s first time getting involved in helping a brand get into a mall, so she had to dedicate more time to it.

To some extent, it was easy for a brand to enter a mall. However, if he was not as famous as his competitors in the country, it would take a lot of time and effort for his store to succeed. There were certain positions in every mall that many brands would compete for because they were easily visible and attracted many customers. The success of a brand relied on the quality of its planner, who had to think about how to package its products, promote them and maximize its perception in the market.

From the time Lucia took over the project, she had only been responsible for market research and promotions, both of which she was familiar with. It was only after submitting the application agreement that she realized that the biggest competitor to the brand she worked for was actually a brand from the Evans Group, which they had launched after being entered the fashion industry.

Lucia discovered that what she feared most was not competing against a powerful opponent, but against herself. This is because for her, her whole mentality was the hardest to surpass. So as soon as she saw the name Evans Group, she was a little nervous. “Am I afraid because of my personal feelings? » That was the question she kept asking herself.

Shrugging her shoulders, Lucia took one last look at the living room mirror and smiled to herself. Then, she put on her bag and quickly left the house. The weather in S City was already starting to get colder. Here, the autumns were short and the winters took over in no time.

A gust of wind blew, making Lucia shiver and crane her neck. She wished she could raise her collar a little higher. His fingers, exposed without gloves, were particularly cold. “How will I get through the winter? » wondered Lucie. She seemed to be more and more afraid of winter as the years went by. Maybe she really was getting old.

Lowering her head and constantly rubbing her hands, Lucia walked forward. She was lost in thought, but unconsciously heard a constant honking behind her. Even when she reached the farthest corner of the street, the horn did not stop. Finally, she frowned and turned around, trying to see if she was blocking the car’s path somehow.

But the sight that greeted her made her burst out laughing. Without hesitation, she approached the car and knocked on the window, which quickly rolled down. Lowell, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, looked at her with a smile.

“Let me guess, you’re going the same way too?” »Lucia teased.

“Between.” Ignoring Lucia’s teasing, Lowell unlocked the car and motioned for Lucia to get in.

Lucia raised her eyebrows, but got into the car without protesting. Of course, she knew Lowell wasn’t going in the same direction. He was waiting for her at the gates of the villa district. He was doing what he had told her before: courting her. And Lucia didn’t push him away either. She enjoyed meeting him often and they both had a good time together. But every day when Lucia went out, she was teased by Kathryn.

“Here you are,” Lowell said, handing Lucia a cup of hot peanut soup.

“Thank you,” Lucia said, taking the cup.

The first time Lowell picked her up in his car and handed her a hot drink or soup, Lucia felt confused. To answer her question, Lowell explained that her hands were always cold and that she would feel better after drinking something warm. Remembering that while holding the hot soup in her hands, Lucia smiled.

Lowell truly knew how to win her heart in every way. He always knew exactly what she needed and how to tug at her heartstrings. For some reason, this made Lucia think of Malcolm, and her eyes darkened. Malcolm would also bring things for her, but he would force her to accept anything in a dominating manner. Even though he was nice to her, he provoked her rebellious side. Lowell, on the other hand, gave her small gifts and spoke softly to her, gradually making her get used to his existence.

In this way, Lucia began to love Lowell more than Malcolm. With Malcolm’s disappearance, Lucia’s memories of him faded deep into her mind. It was Lowell’s face that occupied his mind these days. Sometimes Lowell and Malcolm’s faces overlapped. At this time, Lucia would remember the words “wildcat”, which was the nickname Malcolm had given her.

‘What’s wrong with me?’

Lowell’s gentleness and undisguised sincerity were things Lucia could never expect from Malcolm. Was it so easy for a woman’s heart to go astray? Even Lucia couldn’t understand his feelings. No wonder it’s been said that you’ll never know what’s on a woman’s mind. Even Lucia herself didn’t know what she wanted.

“What’s wrong?” Lowell asked, noticing the frown on his face.

“Ah… Nothing. I just thought of something else.” Lucia came to her senses after hearing Lowell’s voice.

“Where are you going today? I’ll drive you there. And call me when you’re done, I’ll come pick you up.” Instead of asking her what she was thinking, Lowell changed the subject and asked her what her destination was.

With a little laugh, Lucia told him where she wanted to go. It was the thing about Lowell that she loved most. Every time he had the slightest hint that she didn’t want to answer a question, he changed the subject instead of pressing her for an answer. When he did this, Malcolm’s domineering voice always echoed in Lucia’s mind.

People weren’t supposed to be compared to each other, but Lucia couldn’t help it.

Realizing that Lucia had fallen back into thought, Lowell observed her for a moment. But soon he turned his attention back to the road and focused on driving. After a while, Lucia turned her head and looked Lowell up and down, narrowing her eyes.

“What are you looking at?” Lowell asked, shifting uncomfortably under his gaze.

“Nothing. I just wonder if you’re blind. You’re such an eligible man. And there are so many beautiful women out there. Why don’t you go after them instead of me, a married woman of no status? fact, I’m soon to be divorced, which is even worse,” Lucia said teasingly.

“Then why don’t you refuse me?” Lowell asked without skipping a beat.

“Good…” Lucie was speechless.

At this moment, Lowell didn’t look as calm as usual. There seemed to be fire in his eyes. Not knowing how to answer his question, Lucia lowered her head and drank the peanut soup. Neither of them said a word for the rest of the car ride. When they arrived at their destination, Lucia opened the car door to get out with the empty cup in her hand. But before she could place her foot on the ground, Lowell touched her shoulder to stop her.

“Lucie…” He trailed off, as if he had something to say that he wasn’t ready to say.

“What?” Lucia asked in confusion.

“Nothing. Put on a coat or something. Don’t catch a cold,” Lowell said in a low voice.

“All right.” Lucy nodded.

Then she got out of the car and threw the empty cup in the trash. She turned to look at Lowell one last time to say goodbye before heading towards her destination. Watching Lucia’s retreating figure, Lowell seemed a little dejected.
