Chapter 627 Confession
She was torn about the matter. He had been the person she trusted the most. His betrayal also hurt her the most. The trust between them collapsed. From now on, she would not believe anyone.
"I didn't expect things to turn out that way" Paul came up, trying to grabber arm.
Lucia shook off his hand, kept a distance from him, and shook her head. "You just lied to me. Mandy's matter is also related to you, right?
He was rendered speechless. He couldn't admit it or hide the truth. If you admitted it, he would be rejected for good. Everything he had now would be gone
"I was wrong, but everything I did was out of my care for you. You know my heart."
Lucia telt a pricking pain in her heart and suddenly raised her voice. "I'd rather not have your care. You harmed people because of me. Do you think my conscience won't sting me?t She was ashamed at herselt for the death of the abbot. His words shook her. If he was telling the truth, didn't it mean she was a sinner too? The idea haunted her and weighed her
down.
"Lucia." He strade up, trying to explain.
"Let's separate" She painfully closed her eyes.
He halted and looked at her in dismay. "What?"
"Let's separate," Lucia repeated, turned around, and headed back to the children's room without waiting for his response.
Paul froze there for a long time. When movements were heard, he raised his head and saw Lucia leading Timothy and Janet out of the room. They went up to the second floor. Before
long. Lucia came down with a suitcase. Standing beside her, the two children were carrying bags on their backs. Apparently, they were leaving home. Timothy's and Jaret's eyes were
red, but they didn't dare utter a sound. They just obediently followed their mother.
Startled by the scene, the maid hurried over and asked, "Madam, what happened?"
Lucia gave no response. She put the keys on the table and led the children to go outside. Paul looked at the resolute woman. Anxiety surged in him.
He quickly caught up with her and said, "Lucia, where are you going? It's late."
Lucia looked at him soberly and said in an icy tone, "We're done."
With the suitcase in tow, she led Timothy and Janet to leave. The two kids kept looking back. Unsure about the situation, they didn't dare to ask but just followed their mother. Paul
stepped forward and grabbed the leaver of her suitcase.
"Can we talk? Give me another chance."
Lucia was disappointed. With a bitter smile on her face, she looked at him and said, "You had so many chances to confess everything to me, but you didn't. To fool me, you found
yourself a scapegoat. Paul, did you really consider my feelings when you did that?"
Guilt had driven her to spare no effort to find the traitor. Turned out everything was his scheme. She had been trapped and fooled. How ridiculous was that! Paul lost his tongue,
aware that it was all his fault. He shouldn't have made a wrong decision out of care and jealousy.
If Lucia was willing to talk to him, he would do everything he could to make up. Sadly, she didn't give him a chance. He had mixed feelings. He silently looked at her but refused to let
go of the lever of the suitcase.
"Let go!" She tried to take the suitcase away but failed. In the end, she bit her lips, loosened her grip, and led the children to leave.
She didn't want to stay there for another second. The sight of this man kept reminding her of Mr. Makoto's face. The guilt overwhelmed her and drove her crazy. She quickly left with Timothy and Janet. A taxi happened to pass by, and a passenger got off. She called out to the driver and led the kids to get into the taxi.
"Destination?".
Lucia took a deep breath, bit her lips, and told the driver an address. It was the old neighborhood where Bill and Elisa used to live. It was the only place she could go to. In the past few years, Paul had been with her from abroad to Austos City. Everything had been taken care of by him. The house at West Bridge belonged to him and had nothing to do with het. Fortunately, there was an old house for her, otherwise, she would have been homeless. The car got on the highway and stabilized. The kids overcame their shock and quietly leaned
against her
In the end, Timothy broke the silence. He took Lucia's hand in his plump hand and softly asked, "Mom, what happened between you and Dad? Did you fight?"
