'I am pregnant! But he left me alone and went to Lucia!' Juliana thought, fuming with anger. But she could do nothing. When she was angry, Spencer quietly approached her.
"Julia, where's Arthur?" Arthur's sudden voice startled Juliana, and the smile in Spencer's eyes grew deeper.
Juliana stroked her chest in shock, glared at Spencer, and then said indignantly, "He went to find Lucia!"
The smile froze on Spencer's face when he heard these words. Juliana noticed it, staring straight at him. Then Spencer smiled unnaturally and said, "Are they still seeing each other?"
"Lucia is very scheming. She seizes every chance to seduce Arthur!" Juliana said through gritted teeth.
'I don't think so. It must be Arthur who keeps pestering Lucia.' Spencer thought to himself, but he just said indignantly to echo with Juliana, "Arthur is too much. You are pregnant, but he just left you alone. I really felt pity for you."
Spencer's words pushed Juliana's button. Perhaps affected by the hormonal changes in her body after pregnancy, she began to complain to Spencer. Though Spencer was impatient, he pretended to be a very patient listener. Only his movement of shaking the wine glass showed her real thoughts.
"Sorry, Spencer. I must be very annoying." Realizing that she had talked too much, Juliana said awkwardly.
"It's okay. I guess you can't say these complaints in front of Arthur; it's good to vent out your feelings a little bit." Spencer smiled gently.
Juliana cast down her eyes and asked softly, "Spencer, you came over not just to hear my complaints, right?"
Juliana did not forget what he had asked her to do.
"Yes," Spencer replied flatly and asked Juliana, "Have you made up your mind now?"
"Yes, feel free to ask me for help if you need anything," With a glint in her eyes, Juliana raised her eyes to look at Spencer and said firmly.
"I'm glad to hear that. Don't worry. I have my own reasons to do this, and I won't hurt Arthur," Spencer deliberately added.
Juliana nodded and thought to herself, 'I am in the same boat as you now. As long as I can be with Kane, I am willing to do anything.'
This night, Juliana and Spencer talked for a long time, and finally, he sent her home, while Arthur stayed at Lucia's home.
The next day just after dawn Lucia woke up. Arthur was holding her in his arms and sleeping. She had not experienced it for a long time. When she just woke up, she was still a little confused between dreams and reality. She propped herself up on her elbows and poked Arthur's cheeks in a daze.
"Lucia, stop it."
She observed him for a long time and realized he hadn't woken up. His sleeping face was gentle. Was he calling her name subconsciously?
His love for her was shown in such trivia. Lucia felt it, but she forced herself not to care about it. 'Lucia, it's not a big deal. Don't be softened because of such a minor thing."
