"I'll forget what happened that night." He didn't want his connection to be affected.
"That's what you think." A sad smile tugged at the corners of Celina's mouth. "Do you think I'm that kind of promiscuous woman?"
"Miss Celina." "You're a good woman. You're smart and capable. There must be a lot of women chasing you. Don't pay too much attention to me. I have a family, a wife and a child. They are more important than my life. I won't betray them or hurt them. I hope you can understand. "
He was polite but determined. Her heart was broken. She was in despair. The flames of hope in her heart burned out, leaving her depressed. She turned to the coffee table, supporting herself with one hand, and covering her aching chest with the other. Her thin lips were trembling, unable to make a sound for a long time.
Lucas picked up his coat on the sofa and said, "I'm leaving, Miss Celina."
His cold and indifferent tone made Celina's heart burst out a touch of hatred. Looking at the delicately packaged gift on the tea table, her eyes flashed with coldness. She picked up it, squeezed a smile, and returned to him. "This is a gift I specially chose for you yesterday in Central Park. I hope you can take it."
Lucas didn't take the gift. He never took gifts from girls that he didn't think it mattered. He just said, "Miss Celina, thank you for your kindness. But I never accept any gift from you. I'm sorry."
Her hand trembled slightly, but she still managed to wear a curved mouth. "It's just a meet gift. I don't like to pester you. As long as you are willing to accept it, I will take it as nothing has happened between us. From now on, we will only maintain the working relationship."
Lucas looked at her with deep eyes. He was not sure if she was going to play tricks or not. But he still took over the project because he didn't want to make any mistake in cooperating with the partners.
The smile at the corners of Celina's mouth deepened. Before he could react, he reached into the pocket of his coat and took a silk scarf out. He said, "this is your gift. We don't owe each other. From now on, we will not interfere with each other."
This was the best way. Lucas nodded and went out politely.
Lying on the ground limply, Celina seemed to be exhausted. With hatred in her eyes, she clenched her fists and her pocket was crumpled up.
The reason she had to give the gift to him was that the razor she had bought with Sophia. That was the only razor in the world that Q City only had one. If Sophia saw it with her own eyes, she would doubt it.
The play had just started, and she should pay the price to get rid of him.
Not knowing what was in the gift box, and not interested, he casually threw it in the car. He had to go back to Bluewater Villa. Sophia and the kids were waiting for him to sail.
Seeing him back, Sara and the twins rushed out to welcome him with great interest. The twins were all anxious to get on the yacht as soon as possible.
After she got into the car, Sara opened the storage box beside the driver's seat, wanting to take out the games console. She browsed it and noticed that there was a small gift box in it.
"Daddy, what's this?"
He looked at the reflection in the rear-view mirror and thought that the little bastard could turn things over. Why couldn't she find out a good place to play with? However, he did not do anything wrong, so there was nothing to worry about. He replied lightly, "it was a gift from a friend."
"Who? It's not your birthday. Why would I give you a gift?" Sophia said in a tone of half-joking.
"A friend in business." Lucas shrugged.
After they got on the yacht, Lucas arranged an automatic driver to drive them to the deck to go fishing. Sara helped Sophia to prepare some dessert.
There was a burst of cheers downstairs, and Lucas caught the first fish.
"Great! We have fish soup tonight." Sara smiled and clapped her hands. This was her favorite soup.
She made some fresh juice and placed the desserts on the table before going downstairs to the deck.
"Snacks, please." Kami quickly put down the fishing rod and ran to Sophia. He picked up a durian cake from the plate and gave it to his father and brother who were fishing for it, and then to Sophia and Sara. At last he ate it himself, thoughtfully and obediently. Sophia lovingly kissed his little face.
At this time, Teddy shouted, "Daddy, look, the fishing rod is moving. We have fish here. Come and help us!"
Judging from the degree when the fishing rod bent, it seemed to be deep. It should be a big fish.
When Lucas reached out to pull up, everyone was stunned. It was a big turtle.
Teddy jumped happily and shouted, "Yeah, I caught a big turtle!"
However, his kind parents decided to send the big turtles back to the sea. Turtles were one of the kind of protection animals, and the children had a natural course. They knew that animals could be treated as food, and which animals should be protected and no animals should be captured.
