Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586 Was It a Show for Her to See?

Lucia's most recent memory of Adeline was from five years ago. At that time, she was a popular actress. She was close to August, and their relationship appeared to be more intimate than others. After she went abroad, her name was never heard of again.

After returning to the country, Adeline's name was nothing more than a gust of wind. After the wind had passed, it disappeared without a trace. However, she did not expect that she would meet her again under such circumstances.

Now, she was still by August's side. The two of them looked very close to each other. Now that August had divorced Jeanne, it was normal for him to have another woman by his side. However, for some reason, Lucia felt empty and weirdly uncomfortable.

Her gaze inadvertently swept to the other side of the table. Obviously, August had also seen her. But now, he was looking at Adeline as she sat opposite him. His face was calm, and the corners of his lips were raised. It was as though there was no one else in his eyes.

She sniffled, and an indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart.

At this moment, Paul suddenly called out her name softly, asking, "Lucia, what's wrong?"

Lucia snapped back to her senses and hurriedly smiled apologetically at him. She then said softly. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about something..."

"Alright." Paul nodded slightly and asked gently, "Well, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Sorry. What was it?" Lucia asked before she could fully understand what he meant.

Paul was not in a hurry. He curled his lips and patiently repeated what he had just said. "We will have a wedding in Austos. First of all, it is because we skipped the wedding and our parents were not there when we signed the papers. I've always regretted this a little. Second of all, I want everyone to know that you are my wife and not just any woman."

Lucia lowered her eyelids. Her heart was a mess, and she could feel it thumping in her chest. She took a deep breath, not knowing how to respond to Paul's proposal.

The reason why she agreed to be with Paul was that Timothy and Janet needed a father as they grew up, and Paul was undoubtedly the best choice. In addition, he liked the idea very much, so the two of them got married happily.

However, it had been five years. Timothy and Janet had grown to love Paul as their father. She was unwilling to wake up from this dream as well, so she had been living in a daze all this while. But now, she should make a choice. It was either to accept him or to separate from him.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Paul, who was facing her, suddenly reached into the pocket of his suit. He touched it twice and took out a velvet box. He slowly opened the lid and popped the question. A dazzling ring was in the center of the black velvet. Lucia's heart trembled slightly, and she was a little surprised.

It seemed as though he knew what she wanted to ask, so Paul said unhurriedly, "To be honest, I had this ring custom-made long ago. I have always kept it with me, but I never told you. What happened today was like a thorn in my heart. The wound kept bleeding, but 1 couldn't remove the thorn. I now feel that the time is right for me to tell you what I've been wanting to say."

His tone was sincere, and his gaze was firm. Looking at him, Lucia was inexplicably touched. She took a deep breath as her mind raced between the two choices. Just then, she suddenly thought of something.

She quickly raised her eyes and looked at the people diagonally across from her. She did not know what were August and Adeline talking about. The two of them sat close together with a smile on their faces. The atmosphere was harmonious and suggestive. The handsome man and beautiful woman were quite an eye-catching pair, and they were especially right for each other.

Lucia felt a sharp pain in her heart. For some reason, it made her feel a little uncomfortable. After pausing for a moment, she retracted her gaze and bit her lower lip, hesitating

Two seconds later, she suddenly came to her senses. She looked up at Paul, who was sitting opposite her with hopeful eyes. She suddenly felt guilty.

How could she still be thinking about August in this kind of situation? Moreover, it he could be in new relationships, why couldn't she have a new life?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. When she looked up, she saw Adeline and August sharing some food. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. It was sweet and warm. However, it was just too much for her!
