Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love novel Chapter 230

After ensuring Lucy was okay, the man seemed relieved.

"You're alright? That's great. I saw you squatting in the road and thought something was wrong. I almost called an ambulance," he explained.

Lucy could not help but feel a little exasperated. An ambulance seemed a bit excessive.

She softly assured him, "Really, I'm fine. I'm not at the point of needing an ambulance."

This made Augustus Scruggs laugh heartily. "You're quite the character."

Lucy was at a loss for words. She thought, 'He thinks I'm funny? I'm just being honest.'

"Hi, I'm Augustus Scruggs. What's your name?" he asked.

"Hi, I'm Lucy Quinn," she replied with a nod.

Thinking the conversation was over, she was surprised when Augustus grinned and squatted down too. He was mirroring her earlier posture. "Why don't I keep you company while you wait for your friend? It's not right to leave a lady waiting alone on the street, even if this place is safe."

Lucy sighed and crouched down again, puzzled by his odd logic.

"It's okay. You don't have to wait with me. I'll be fine alone," she insisted.

Augustus blinked twice, seemingly catching on to her hint. Strangely, he seemed more determined to stay.

He gave a smile and said, "How about this? You seem interesting, and I'd like to hang out a bit longer. What do you say?"

Lucy was speechless.

How would one even respond to that? What was she supposed to say in such a situation? One could only guess Lucy’s thoughts.
