Chapter 398 Horseback Riding in the Suburbs

Mandy took a deep breath as her eyes flashed with hesitation, but she still nodded and answered, "Yes."

"Well, good job." Bishop reached out his hand, naturally held the woman's slender waist, and lowered his head, sniffing the faint jasmine scent of her hair as the look in his eyes became gentler.

Mandy took a deep breat! but still couldn't help asking, "Mr. Adams, why did you ask me to do this?" She didn't understand, just like five years ago. Every time Bishop had asked her to do something related to August and Lucia, she just couldn't have figured it out. Sometimes it had seemed like a favor, while sometimes it had seemed like a trick, so she still had no idea what role on earth Bishop was playing in the game.

The man suddenly tightened his grip on the woman's waist, and said expressionlessly after a moment, "Miss Lu, you will understand someday in the future." Again, the same words.

Mandy paused and didn't continue to ask more questions.

In the past five years, she liad been staying with Bisliop for the company in an ambiguous relationship. The two seemed to become much closer in relationships of mentoring, friends, as well as lovers. However, there was always an insuperable thin wall between them as if their perfect relationships would be ruined once any one of them got across the wall, which was the reason why she still called him "Mr. Adams" and he still called lier "Miss Lu" as they had done five years ago.

But she had true feelings for him, so whenever he had asked her to do something, she would always have

accepted, not able to refuse. And now, she was willing to do everything he asked her to do as long as it wouldn't hurt her childhood friend Lucia.

Lucia had been frantic with worry these days. Paul came back from the business trip the next day after the paternity test. Having learned about the situation, he stayed with the little ones and her all the time, eating and living together without letting them out of his sight.

For several days, August hadn't contacted them or come to them as if nothing had happened, and their lives had gradually returned to normal.

After the family finished a meal, they sat on the sofa watching TV. Timothy turned around out of boredom, and asked while playing withi Lucia's liair with his fingers, "Mom, are you going back to work next Monday?"

Lucia nodded and tapped at his little nose, saying in a doting tone, "Yeah, there is still one more set of photos to be taken, so I have to stick to it for two more days, it'll be soon done."

The last set of photos of wild pythons had been called off because Janet had been bitten, and during hier hospitalization, the team liad replaced the last set of animals with flamingos. Now that Janet had been discharged from the hospital, they naturally needed to move forward on the shoot. However, just a set of photos would only take them at most two more days. Lucia wanted to finish it as soon as possible so she could take them out of Austos City. They had delayed for too long because of various matters during these days.

Lucia turned around, looked at Janet on the other side, and gently fixed her hair, asking softly, "Janet, we're going to continue to shoot next Monday, are you okay with that?" When in the hospital, she had specially asked the attending doctor for a consultation because Janet had been still young and may have gotten trauma from such a thing. So she didn't want to force her to do anything she didn't like, letting her make all the decisions.

But out of expectation, as if nothing had happened, while nibbling at an apple and staring at the TV, Janet said with a slurred voice, "I'm okay with that ... Hospitalization is too boring, I want to 'move bricks'."

Lucia couldn't help laughing at the new Internet slang that had come out of her mouth, knowing without a second thought that she must have learned it from Paula. With great joy, she rubbed the little one's head and looked up at Paul next to her.

Paul was looking at them with a warın smile. "Lucia, let's go to have fun in the suburbs this weekend since we will all be available, what do you say?"

Hearing this, Lucia recalled that she had promised Paul a few days ago to join him in taking the two little ones to the suburbs to have fun. "Sure, what's fun in the suburbs?"

"A horse ranch has just opened over there, how about having a look there?"

Hearing this, Lucia suddenly recalled her previous experience of horseback riding with Paul abroad. Under his guidance, her horse skills were not superb but good enough for a casual ride. "I'd love to." She happened to have been eager for horseback riding for a long time, and the two little ones had taken liorseback riding lessons before and were both quite interested in it, so they might as well take this opportunity to kick back.

Hearing Lucia's agreement, Paul smiled more happily, saying softly, "Okay, I'll make a reservation in advance" Now that he was getting busier and busier with work, he would liave less and less time to spend with them, so this was actually a rare chance. Time passed by, and it was soon the weekend.

Early in the morning, Paul was already fully equipped and drove Lucia, Timothy, and Janet to the horse ranchi in the suburbs.

It was a new upscale horse ranch newly built in Austos City three years ago, and the people who could show up

here were all powerful and influential birwirs. Paulled them to the dressing area, running into many acquaintances along the way. He inevitably had to say hello to them, and some of them just couldn't stop talking once they opened their mouths, having delayed them for over ten minutes.

The two little sleepy ones standing aside felt tired of their boring conversations, and cried out, rubbing their eyes. Lucia had no choice but to tell Paul and take the little ones to change clothes first.

The dressing area was separate for men and women. Lucia felt worried about leaving Timothy alone, so slie explained the situation to the staff before taking him to the women's section. She took out Timothy's and

Janet's riding outfits, and when she had just finished dressing Janet and was dressing Timothy, there came a shrill voice from the other side.

A woman was looking at them with a shocked face as if she saw a monster, "Why ... why is there a boy?",
