Chapter 047
Burton who was driving, immediately slammed on the brakes, changed lanes, and turned around at the
intersection The rain and wind outside didn’t have a tendency to stop Instead, it was getting heavier and stronger. August looked out of the window at the misty view and couldn’t help but knit his brows
Soon the car returned to the Starlight Plaza, but the place where Lucia had been was empty now!
August pushed open the door and got out of the car Burton hurriedly came out with umbrellas and held one up for him
Burton looked around without finding Lucia Where is she?
The look in August’s eyes grew more sullen. He took the other umbrella from Burton and said in a deep voice,
Split up and look!”
Ahchool
Lucia sat in the car and sneezed several times in a row.
Here re some tissues. A gentle male voice came along, followed by a pack of tissues handed to her.
Lucia pulled out a few as she said. Thank you.” She had waited for a long time by the road outside the Starlight Plaza without stopping a taxi. Just when she was desperate, a car suddenly drove by. Its window was rolled down, revealing Bishop, August’s brother
She had no choice but to get into his car. When she saw the car going down an unfamiliar road. Lucia couldn’t help but ask, “Where are we going now?”
Next to her, Bishop curved his lips at her and said unhurriedly, ’’Let’s find a place for you to take a warm shower and change
Lucia subconsciously refused. “No... thanks. I’ll just go straight home.” Her dress was almost soaked and she was cold from head to toe. Although it was uncomfortable, she didn’t
want to cause trouble for Bishop
After all, they had only met twice and didn’t really know each other well.
“You will catch a cold if you go back like this. I have an apartment nearby. Let’s go there. It’s no trouble.” Hearing that, Lucia couldn’t refuse anymore. She looked down at her wet dress and nodded. ”Well then, thank
you’
Bishop suddenly chuckled when he heard that. “Sure. You are my sister-in-law. I’m just doing what I should do.”
Lucia paused when she heard the words ’sister-in-law and then smiled at him in embarrassment.
She was his sister-in-law, indeed
Soon the car entered a mid-to-high-end neighborhood and stopped outside a building.
Lucia went in with Bishop and his man and got to his apartment.
They pushed the door open and entered. The interior was all black, white and gray, very simple and clean.
When Lucia got inside. Bishop said in a gentle voice, ’’There are new ladies’ slippers at the door. You can change into them. There are brand new clothes in the guest room over there. You can find something right for you. And there is hot water, so you can take a shower.
Lucia nodded at him. Thank you.”
With that she walked into the guest room.
The look on Bishop’s face slowly turned cold when he saw the door of the guest room close. After a moment, ne
slightly tilted his head and instructed the man next to him. ’Go make some ginger tea, Bob. ”Yes, Siri
Chapter 047
• 10 After the shower, Lucia dried her hair with a towel. She found a most ordinary shirt and pants in the closet and put them on before getting out of the guest room. In the living room, Bishop was sitting in his wheelchair and reading the magazine in his hands with his head
down, looking focused and serious. Lucia got a good view of his long eyelashes from where she was.
Although Bishop looked a bit like August, they were quite different from each other. August was composed and aloof while Bishop was gentle and quiet But it must be admitted that the Adams family had strong genes. No matter what type they were, they were all
so excellent and brilliant that people could not take their eyes off them.
Noticing the gaze, Bishop looked up and saw Lucia. He immediately curved his lips and casually closed the magazine in his hands.
Do you feel warmer? I told Bob to make you some ginger tea. You can have somne.”
Lucia looked toward where he was looking at and saw the ginger tea still stearing on the table. She was moved
again.
She took the hot ginger tea and had a few sips. In a short while, Lucia felt the sweat on her back and her body
slowly warmed up.
At the side, Bishop suddenly asked, “You went to the jewelry exhibition today, didn’t you?”
Lucia nodded. Thinking about what had happened at the venue, she looked a little gloomier. “So why weren’t you with my brother?”
“Because he...” Lucia didn’t know what to say and bit her lip. “Our relationship can’t be made public yet, so.”
Hearing that, Bishop nodded. He said softly when he saw the disappointment on Lucia’s face, ”In fact, he has no
choice in many things. You have to understand that.”
Lucia was a little surprised to hear Bishop speak for August.
Last time at the old house, August wasn’t so nice to Bishop. Lucia couldn’t help but ask curiously, “I’ve always wanted to ask you. Why did you and August end up like this?” In any case, they were brothers. What kind of deep hatred could they have?
Bishop curled his lips into a bitter smile and paused for a moment before he spoke, “Because we are not full brothers.”
Lucia was confused when she heard that. “Huh?”
Bishop said lightly, “We are half-brothers, born of the same father.”
Only then did Lucia get what he meant. It turned out that they had different mothers, so that was why August hated Bishop so much. She had thought they were full brothers. After all, they did look somewhat alike.
