Lucia gnashed her teeth and retreated to draw back distance from him
However, August changed his stern face from the past and winked mischievously at her' "Look good after the two little limps, I gotta go
now."
Lucia was in a daze since hearing his words Therefore, she didnt notice that August had gotten into his car and driven away Standing still, Lucia was wondering why August had changed completely within five years
Before she could figure it out, the sound of footsteps interrupted her train of thought It was Janet and Timothy threw their arms around
her legs respectively
Mom1 What are you doing?"
Lucia looked down at their rosy cheeks, feeling a strong feeling of affection sweeping her over She then reached out her hand to pet their
heads and asked tenderly, How is it going with your discussion with the director over there9'
He is nice to us1 And he told us that we can go to the zoo for a video shoot1"
"Yeah, we all understand what he has told us!'
Their naive words amused Lucia "You two are great! Now that you're ready for the shoot tomorrow, let's go home now'" She smiled
sincerely
"Great1 Lets go home1' >
I ucia took them by the hands to lead them to take leave of the camera crew After they had packed their stuff, they left
Lucia used the online car-hailing app to hail a taxi when they got to the gate of the Wildlife Park However, they didnt get a car after waiting for a long time
Actually, Paul had offered a ride for them after shooting but Lucia didn't mean to bother him after he had confessed his affectation to her yesterday It would be embarrassing for them
A long time had passed but they still hailed no taxi.
"What's going on9 Mom9" Janet tilted her head back and asked her
"Oh, honey, it's alright We can go home soon" Lucia quickly comforted her mildly
Although she said that, she was anxious inside fortheir online car hailing order wasn't taken by any drivers yet
When they were still waiting, a sharp toot of the car horn sounded behind them As they turned around, a black Maybach came to a slow
halt beside them The car window was rolled down and August s impeccable face appeared
Get in the car, I'll take you back"
Upon seeing this, Lucia frowned perplexedly
Didnt he just leave9 Why he didn't go yet?
She bit her lips nervously and was to refuse his offer But Janet said before her, 'Uncle Charming'"
She was waving gaily to him at the same time
August smiled at her lovingly in return Then he went out of the car and lifted her up tenderly.
"How about I take you home9"
Janet nodded vigorously and smiled sweetly at him
Lucia was dumbfounded to see that
How could Janet be so affectionate toward August9 They had just met several times'
Timothy seemed to sense Lucias abnormality, raising his head, 'Mom, if you dont like him, III drive him away for you immediately
A shadow of a smile touched her mouth when Lucia heard Tomothy s solemn remark
She rubbed his hair happily 'It's ok, my brave boy1'
When she looked up again, Janet had already sat comfortably on the back seat and August was standing near the car wa g get in his car
With a deep breath, Lucia finally persuaded herself to accept August s kindness
Taking his car seemed to be the best choice for them now since the children may have to wait a long time for the taxi with her in such an
Such being the case, Lucia told Timothy to get in the car as well. ‘Now that Janet had taken a seat inside, shall we get in the qar too7' Timothy nodded lovingly and made no objection
Then, took Timothy by hand, and Lucia jumped in the car
Meanwhile, a gleam of the camera lens flashed through the air behind a tree on the opposite side of the road
Only when August drove far away, the photographer emerged from the tree He was sending the photo he had taken just now to someone
Ten minutes later in Fountain Mansion
Jeanne Kelly was sitting on a couch trembling with anger She was going through the photo sent by the private detective One more photo would make her expression even grimmer
Lucia really had babies! Most importantly, she had got a pair of fraternal twins'
She was silently fuming at the fact while she browsed through the photo one by one, and her face instantly turned pale when she saw the
enlarged photo of Janet and Timothy
They were all similar to August as a child All were cut from the same cloth, so to speak They must be the children of August and Lucia
Shed put money on that'
This thought almost put her on the verge of a breakdown' She was shaking so violently that she could hardly hold her phone
Things now appeared to march on in a bad way Lucia had already had children with August while she, as his wife, had never consummated with him'
/
This kind of thing must never get out If it did she would be a laughing stock'
No1 No way' She mustn't be a sitting duck1 And she couldn't stand the frustration of losing August!
Jeanne went on thinking, but there was a glimmer of cruelty in her eyes! Suddenly, she picked up her phone and made a call
