Passing the crowd and seeing that Lucia had no intention of walking side by side with him, Spencer kept up with her and said in a self-deprecating tone, "It seems there were several times when I chased after you like this."
"So wouldn't it be better to give up?" Lucia glanced sideways at Spencer and said meaningfully.
"I can't give up," Spencer said with a smile, "Lucia, you know about Julia's delivery, right?"
"Everyone at Athegate knows about it," Lucia replied, thinking that he did bring it up as she expected.
"Arthur now has a fiancée and a child. Why not choose to be with me?" Spencer asked her.
"These are two things." Lucia frowned, paused, and said impatiently, "I told you I hate calculating people."
"You won't choose him even if that person won't betray you like Arthur did?" Spencer knew Lucia was annoyed, but still said Arthur's name out loud.
Lucia frowned tightly as Spencer's words irritated her greatly.
"Lucia, just give me a chance to prove that I can give you happiness. I can help you get JTP back and revenge on Jacob and Poppy." Spencer finally made it clear what he had come to her for.
"I can't stop you from being stubborn, but I will never change my mind." Lucia was extremely annoyed. She didn't want to listen to Spencer's nonsense anymore.
After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked back, but Spencer's words made her stop after she took a few steps.
"Lucia, to prove that I am faithful to my word, I assure you that Poppy will be abandoned by Jacob in less than a month!"
Lucia looked back at Spencer with no emotions in her bright eyes.
"Whatever," She responded indifferently and stepped into the crowd, making Spencer unable to catch up.
Juliana returned to Arthur's villa and began to be in confinement. Sophie and Kayla took good care of her. With the attentive care of the babysitter and caregiver, she recovered quickly, but her mood was not as good as her physical condition.
Sophie and Kayla stayed with her all the time. Juliana hadn't had a chance to contact Kane since childbirth. She knew that the news of her birth had gotten out and wondered how much Kane wanted to see how she was doing now.
So, one night, when everyone fell asleep, Juliana quietly went to the backyard garden and called Kane.
Kane's anxious voice came out, making Juliana feel more at ease.
"Julia, how are you doing now?"
Juliana leaned under the tree and listened to Kane's voice with a faint smile on her face as she replied, "Well, I'm fine and the baby is fine."
"Is the baby healthy? How much weight is it? What time was it born? Does it look like you or like me?" Kane asked a barrage of questions.
Juliana smiled softly and said, "Kane, don't be silly. How can my child look like you?"
Because of Kane's acceptance of the baby, Juliana had long accepted the source of the child, so she spoke calmly, but Kane on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
"Kane, what happened?" Juliana couldn't get a response and asked him hurriedly.
