Lucia gnashed her teeth and retreated to draw back distance from him
However, August changed his stern face from the past and winked mischievously at her’ "Look good after the two little limps, I gotta go
now."
Lucia was in a daze since hearing his words Therefore, she didnt notice that August had gotten into his car and driven away Standing still, Lucia was wondering why August had changed completely within five years
Before she could figure it out, the sound of footsteps interrupted her train of thought It was Janet and Timothy threw their arms around
her legs respectively
Mom' What are you doing?"
Lucia looked down at their rosy cheeks, feeling a strong feeling of affection sweeping her over She then reached out her hand to pet their
heads and asked tenderly, How is it going with your discussion with the director over there®'
He is nice to us’ And he told us that we can go to the zoo for a video shoot
"Yeah, we all understand what he has told us!"
Their naive words amused Lucia "You two are great! Now that you're ready for the shoot tomorrow, let's go home now" She smiled
sincerely
"Great" Lets go home" >
I ucia took them by the hands to lead them to take leave of the camera crew After they had packed their stuff, they left
Lucia used the online car-hailing app to hail a taxi when they got to the gate of the Wildlife Park However, they didnt get a car after waiting for a long time
Actually, Paul had offered a ride for them after shooting but Lucia didn't mean to bother him after he had confessed his affectation to her yesterday It would be embarrassing for them
A long time had passed but they still hailed no taxi.
"What's going on? Mom?" Janet tilted her head back and asked her
"Oh, honey, it's alright We can go home soon" Lucia quickly comforted her mildly
Although she said that, she was anxious inside fortheir online car hailing order wasn't taken by any drivers yet
When they were still waiting, a sharp toot of the car horn sounded behind them As they turned around, a black Maybach came to a slow
halt beside them The car window was rolled down and August s impeccable face appeared
Get in the car, I'll take you back”
Upon seeing this, Lucia frowned perplexedly
Didnt he just leave? Why he didn't go yet?
She bit her lips nervously and was to refuse his offer But Janet said before her, “Uncle Charming" She was waving gaily to him at the same time
August smiled at her lovingly in return Then he went out of the car and lifted her up tenderly. "How about I take you home?"
Janet nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly at him
Lucia was dumbfounded to see that
How could Janet be so affectionate toward August® They had just met several times’
Timothy seemed to sense Lucias abnormality, raising his head, “Mom, if you dont like him, Ill drive him away for you immediately
A shadow of a smile touched her mouth when Lucia heard Tomothy s solemn remark
She rubbed his hair happily “It's ok, my brave boy™
When she looked up again, Janet had already sat comfortably on the back seat and August was standing near the car wa g get in his car
With a deep breath, Lucia finally persuaded herself to accept August s kindness
Taking his car seemed to be the best choice for them now since the children may have to wait a long time for the taxi with her in such an
Such being the case, Lucia told Timothy to get in the car as well. “Now that Janet had taken a seat inside, shall we get in the qar too” Timothy nodded lovingly and made no objection
Then, took Timothy by hand, and Lucia jumped in the car
Meanwhile, a gleam of the camera lens flashed through the air behind a tree on the opposite side of the road
Only when August drove far away, the photographer emerged from the tree He was sending the photo he had taken just now to someone
Ten minutes later in Fountain Mansion
Jeanne Kelly was sitting on a couch trembling with anger She was going through the photo sent by the private detective One more photo would make her expression even grimmer
Lucia really had babies! Most importantly, she had got a pair of fraternal twins'
She was silently fuming at the fact while she browsed through the photo one by one, and her face instantly turned pale when she saw the
enlarged photo of Janet and Timothy
They were all similar to August as a child All were cut from the same cloth, so to speak They must be the children of August and Lucia
Shed put money on that
This thought almost put her on the verge of a breakdown’ She was shaking so violently that she could hardly hold her phone
Things now appeared to march on in a bad way Lucia had already had children with August while she, as his wife, had never consummated with him*
/
This kind of thing must never get out If it did she would be a laughing stock’
No! No way’ She mustn't be a sitting duck’ And she couldn't stand the frustration of losing August! Jeanne went on thinking, but there was a glimmer of cruelty in her eyes! Suddenly, she picked up her phone and made a call
"Mark, I need to see you as soon as possible!"
“My lady, I Il be here waiting for you as usual.’ On the other side of the phone, a man with a hoarse voice answered reverently
Receiving a positive reply, Jeanne hung up the phone bitterly and drove off
Five years ago, Mark Page was jailed for her reason so she stretched her resources and pulled strings for him to free him Now, it was time for him to be of service to her
She had it in mind to give him a break before serving her But those photos disrupted her plans and disturbed her completely’
She had to move against the time’ Or ese she wil lose August!
Jeanne kept gathering speed al the way and within half an hour, she arived at the pace where Mark ved temporarily twas an array of
Bungalows, really rinky-dmk
leanne got off the car and took a look around the place. She felt disgusting to be here but sne hid her queasiness well With efforts to
forbear from leaving here right away, she knocked on door
Wino is knocking?” A voice of vigiance came from inside
its me" leanne exhaled deeply
The door was Opened ith a short squeak as she stopped speaking Mark s face ran into her eyes abruptly.
Mark took one step back to enable Jeanne to enter “Long time no see, my lacy!
On the contrary, Jeanne was scared by the sight of Mark s dark and tin fac, and the countess scars on his face especialy made her
ick What 5 wrong wit your face?
Mark lowered hishead and explained hurried, they are injuries from numerous fights n the prison, but 1m fie.
Jeanne stared at hm with a scowl but sad nothing more abot ft.
A few moments ater, she opened her mouth again “Wark, do you have any idea why I break sweats to bring you to a release ahead of time”
She didn't do that for him, that for sure She did that just because he was a great goon for her
