As soon as Lizzy said that, everybody was stunned.
Nell was the first to react. She quickly squatted down to cover Lizzy’s open mouth.
Then, she displayed an awkward smile to Lucy and spoke, “I’m so sorry. Kids say the darndest things. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”
After all, judging by Lucy’s tone earlier, she did not admit to being in a relationship with Joel. Since they were not together, having a baby was out of the question.
Nell was Lucy’s boss, but she felt that her daughter’s sudden utterance had offended the couple.
Lucy’s face was red with embarrassment as well. She quickly shook her head. “No offense taken.”
Joel came to his senses too. He coughed awkwardly and immediately changed the subject to avoid talking about such topics in front of a child.
“Sis-in-law, it’s getting late. We’ll head there.”
Nell nodded.
“Go, then. Enjoy yourselves.”
Then, Joel led Lucy away.
Once they were gone, Nell exhaled a pent-up sigh of relief.
Meanwhile.
After leaving the art exhibition, Lucy and Joel went to the museum next door.
Joel wanted to go to the children’s art exhibition, while Lucy was interested in visiting the museum.
At first, she thought of accompanying him to the art exhibition, then going to the museum on her own.
However, Joel tagged along.
It meant that he would be accompanying her.
Although Lucy felt reluctant, she could not change the man’s mind, so he allowed him to follow her.
The couple strolled around casually. This place was a technological museum.
Initially, Lucy was fascinated by such gadgets. In reality, she found out that she was unfamiliar with most of them.
Luckily, Joel was knowledgeable about technology. With him explaining by her side, many things soon began to make sense and she finally comprehended them.
She then asked him about technology-related subjects that she had read about on the internet, but that which she did not fully understand.
Joel answered each of her questions. Despite how deep and profound the subjects were, she managed to grasp most of them.
At the same time, a middle-aged man in a suit ran towards them, huffing and puffing in the process. Two museum employees followed him behind his back.
He approached Joel and smiled at him. “It’s really you, Second Young Master Foster. Why didn’t you send someone to inform me of your arrival? That way, I can make the necessary arrangements to receive you.”
Joel nodded and said coolly, “Why the big fuss? I’m just accompanying my girlfriend.”
Girlfriend?
The middle-aged man felt surprised. Then, he noticed Lucy, who was standing beside Joel.
As she was wearing a face mask and a cap, the man did not recognize her immediately. He merely replied in an unsure manner, “This is… How may I address you?”
Lucy glanced around the area. This side of the technological museum was less popular and had fewer visitors.
