Chapter 636 Keeping a Distance
Hearing this name, Lucia trembled And it sent shivers down her spine and instantly spread them to her limbs. After she gasped in shock, she pretended to be calm, looked at August,
and said, "Does that have anything to do with me?"
August said calmly, "He and Bishop are on the same boat now, and Paul and Bishop have a cooperative relationship. Bishop did not hurt you before because you're Paul's wife. Now
that you are divorced, what do you think he will do?
His words were realistic and cruel, and she couldn't help feeling scared. Now, she was taking care of two children alone. If Bishop retaliated against her, the consequences would be
disastrous
"Do you mean it's safter for me to stay with you? August, you are their deadly enemy. They are coveting your money and power. It will be safer for me if I stay away from you"
August looked at her firmly and said word by word, "You are wrong. You can't expect how or who they will attack. What's more, if anything happens to you, I won't watch you suffer
And they also know this. So, you must stay with me."
August's tone was serious, but Lucia keenly caught a point in his words. She took a deep breath and said softly, "You can just leave me alone."
August replied bluntly, "I can't do it."
Then, his eyes darkened, showing a complicated and meaningful look.
Lucia's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended composed and asked, "Why?"
August narrowed his eyes, and his expression was complex and abnormal. He looked at her deeply and said word by word, "Don't you know why?"
Meeting his eyes, Lucia suddenly became a little flustered. She felt a knot in her throat, and her eyes began to avoid his. After she hesitated for a few seconds, she stretched out to turn the doorknob, but he suddenly said, "Lucia, Icherish my life. And I will never risk my life for a person that I don't care about. So, you must understand my thoughts."
His voice was rarely serious. When she heard his words, her heart was beating wildly with an unexplainable impulse in her chest
When the atmosphere became slightly awkward, Lucia smiled and said in a joking tone, "Are you expressing your feelings for me? I won't accept such a perfunctory confession of
love."
Then, she quickly opened the door and walked out. Seeing her leaving in a hurry, August frowned slightly. He knew she was playing the fool, but it didn't matter. He was not anxious.
As long as she agreed to stay by his side, he would get her answer eventually.
When he came back to his senses, he unhurriedly took out his phone from his pocket to check the messages. Compared to the work-related messages from the company, a message was particularly conspicuous. And it said, "The test results came out. The DNA of the two children is 99% matched with the sample of Group A. And they are not related by blood with
the owner of Group B."
August slowly tightened his grip on the phone, and the blood all over his body was boiling. Group A was his DNA sample, while Group B was Paul's. That was to say, Timothy and Janet were his biological children who had nothing to do with Paul!
He had doubted it before. But he had gotten the paternity test report after waiting at the door of the hospital's clinical lab in person. Since then, he had completely dispelled the
doubts
Unexpectedly, someone had tampered with it! The paternity test report he had seen was fake! It turned out that he had been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end!
Immediately, he flew into a rage and wanted to rush out to ask Lucia why she had hidden the truth from him and why she had let his children call another man Dad.
The more he thought about it, the furious he became. But he suppressed his anger because he knew losing his temper would only be counterproductive. He must not be so stupid.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration popped into his mind, and he came up with an idea. To catch bandits, one must nab their ringleader first. As long as the children recognized him as their father, she would have to stay by his side even if she was unwilling. Thinking about it, August smiled, and the unhappiness in his heart immediately dissipated.
When he went out of the room after a while, he unexpectedly saw Lucia She seemed to have something on her mind, pacing back and forth on the balcony like a spinning top

August walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of water, took a sip, and walked toward the balcony. Then, he leaned against the door and looked at her with a half-smile.
When Lucia saw him, she hesitated for a moment, then walked over, and said softly, "I've already made up my mind. I will stay here for the time being as you suggested."
August smiled, "Finally, you're enlightened."
"But I have to make something clear in advance." Lucia looked at him with precautions and said righteously, "We must keep a distance and must not interfere with each other's
matters!"
August nodded with a smile, "No problem."
Wasn't it the plot in many storybooks? The bad wolf had to play some tricks to get close to the little white rabbit.
Lucia had no idea what August was thinking. She was thinking about the daily necessities of her and her kids that had been packed. She had packed them before the divorce and left them in the property management office of West Bridge for temporary storage. Now that she had confirmed that they would live here for the next period, she needed to transport
them over.
She turned to look at August and asked hesitantly, "Well, there's one more thing. I'm going out tomorrow morning to move my things over. Can you ask Zane to go with me?
August had no objection at all, so he said with a smile, "Zane will be at your disposal from now on."
