Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 566

Upon hearing that, Lucy paused for a moment. Then, as if struck by a thought, she pushed him away and ran out in a flash.

On the balcony, strong winds were roaring and giant raindrops were falling incessantly. The moment Lucy went outside, she was blown by the wind and slammed into the glass door. She had just muffled a groan when she felt a strong grip around her arm and she fell into a warm embrace.

Joel looked at the sky outside and murmured, “There’s going to be a thunderstorm.”

“I know.” Lucy could not even open her eyes due to the strong winds. “My succulent plant is still outside.”

She had just bought it a few days ago, but she was already so fond of it that she had put in all her effort to cultivate it.

The more people feel trapped in their personal circumstances, the more they would use these plants and animals to give themselves a sense of hope.

It was as if watching the plant thrive allowed them to envision their own futures.

As she spoke, she looked like she was going to rush out again. Joel looked at the multiple pots of succulent plants on the balcony and pulled her backward. “Hold on to the door and don’t move.”

With that, he rushed out and quickly moved the pots of succulent plants into the house. Then, he shut the glass door and locked it.

Lucy had found some transparent tape, so the two of them taped up the larger pieces of glass to prevent them from shattering due to the typhoon. When that was done, they heaved a breath of relief.

Although the wind was roaring outside, the house was quiet.

The two of them stood in the living room, with the big eyes staring at small eyes. Lucy was a little embarrassed that she was acting so sternly towards him earlier. Not only did he help her to brave the wind and rain but protect her doors and windows as well, and now, she felt a little awkward.

She grinned nervously. “Can your chauffeur get here in such weather?”

Joel cleared his throat and took out his phone. “I’ll call and ask.”

When the phone connected, he glanced at the woman and saw that she was staring at him. He had no choice but to speak sternly, “Where are you? Why haven’t you arrived?”

The chauffeur who had been waiting downstairs was flustered. “Second Young Master, I arrived a long time ago.”

“What? The Third Ring Road collapsed? You’re stuck in traffic? Okay, you don’t have to come and get me anymore. The typhoon is so strong, I’m afraid that you’ll be in danger. Just go home!”

The chauffeur was speechless.

When the line disconnected, Joel shook his head helplessly.

“I don’t have a choice. The rain caused a landslide. Looks like I’ll have to stay here for a night.”

As he spoke, he plopped back down on the sofa.

Seeing the situation unfold, Lucy’s eyelids twitched. Her gut feeling immediately told her that this was a bad idea.

She hurriedly said, “But… There’s only one room in this house, the second bedroom is piled with junk. It’s not convenient to clean it up so late at night. There’s a hotel nearby, how about you stay there for a night?”

Although she worded it as a suggestion, the refusal was obvious in her tone.

Joel threw her a glance. His expression was unreadable, but his gaze was cold.

“You want me to sleep in a hotel?”

Afraid of offending him, Lucy smiled angelically and added, “I mean… I’m just afraid that you won’t feel comfortable in my house. After all, your body is accustomed to expensive things, whereas this place is old and dilapidated. I’d feel bad if you’re uncomfortable.”

Joel stood up and smiled. “It’s okay, I’m not afraid of some discomfort. If you’re truly worried about me being uncomfortable, why don’t you take good care of me tonight? Perhaps, if I’m happy, I’ll gift you a big mansion. What do you think?”

While speaking, he gently stretched out his hand to cradle her chin.

Lucy immediately went stiff and instinctively took a step back, avoiding his hand.

Joel’s fingers were left hanging in the air.

Lucy dropped her gaze and forced out a smile.

“That’s alright, if you really want to stay here, I’ll clean up the room for you.”
