Chapter 639 Being Brainwashed?
Lucia's heart was thumping While taking a deep breath, she hesitated about whether to let go of her hands around his waist. But suddenly, rumbling thunder pierced the sky, and lightning illuminated the room. She instantly shrank herself and hugged him even tighter instead of loosening her arms,
August couldn't help smiling, looked down at her, taised his eyebrows, and said, "It's going to rain all night. What about Laccompany you.
Before he could finish speaking, she immediately let po, distanced herself from him, looked at him nervously, and said, "No no need."
August looked at her and raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, "Really?"
Lucia wrapped the quilt tightly around her body and nodded with lingering tear. She was indeed scared. In the temperature-controlled bedroom, she was sweating from fright. And the nervous look in her eves made her look like a frightened puppy.
Seeing her so stubborn, August could only nod, "Okay, I'm leaving "
Lucia nodded in a daze but did not speak.
August stood in situ for a few seconds. Seeing her response, he nodded slightly, turned around, and walked toward the door.
The thunder from the sky kept rumbling like a starving monster was howling. When August walked to the door, he felt his legs were so heavy that he could no longer walk
He hesitated for a moment, suddenly turned around, and quickly walked back to the bed. Meeting her misty eyes, he felt a knot in her throat and said in a deep voice, "I'll stay with
Lucia was surprised to hear it and asked, "What?"
Before she could react, August quickly got onto the bed, lay down beside her, and hugged her outside the quilt.
Lucia froze. She wanted to ask him to let go of her but swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue. Then, she looked up at his face in the dark
He lay down with his arms around her with a quilt between them. And he didn't make any impolite movements. When he noticed the nervous look in her eyes, he lowered his head
and said in a deep voice, "Close your eyes."
Lucia knew she should reprimand him, push him away, and drive him out. But her nervousness somehow eased, and she unexpectedly obediently closed her eyes.
It was amazing. His embrace was big and warm. Even though there was a quilt between them, she could still continuously feel his body heat coming over and smell his cleanness. The
sound of wind and thunder outside seemed to be separated by several walls, becoming extremely far away.
Lucia felt a sense of security, so she couldn't bear to let him leave. Soon, her breathing gradually became even, and then, she fell asleep before she knew it.
But August still didn't feel sleepy. When he dropped his eyes to look at the small face of the woman in his arms, his heart suddenly softened. And he was willing to hold her like this
forever. His nerves relaxed, and then, he began to feel drowsy and slowly fell asleep as if being infected by her. The wind was blowing hard outside, but the atmosphere in the
bedroom was harmonious, and the dreams were sweet.
Early the next morning, Lucia turned over. Sensing the surroundings were bright, she slowly opened her eyes, feeling it was wonderful to sleep until waking up naturally! Then, she
stretched herself on the bed. As soon as she turned her head aside, she saw the sunshine outside the window. It was a sunny day. After a stormy night, the leaves were green after
being washed.
Suddenly, a picture burst into her mind. Before she could react, she suddenly thought of what had happened in the middle of the night last night. Yesterday, she had held August and
refused to let go, and then he had slept with her all night.
Inexplicably, a strange sense of shame welled up in her heart. And she soon looked around in a panic. There was no one else in the bedroom except herself. Timothy and Janet's cot
was empty. They had gheady gotten up.
She didn't know when August had left and hoped the kids had not seen her and him sleeping on the same bed. Otherwise, it would be extremely hard for her to explain to them.
After sobbing herself up, she immediately got out of bed to wash up And as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she heard some noises coming from the door of the apartment.
After she turned her head over, she saw August coming in with Timothy Janet, carrying a few brown paper bags in his hand.
Seeing her, Timothy happily raised his head and said, "Mom, you're awake!"
Lucia nodded in a daze because she was surprised to see the three of them spending time together.
"What did you do outside?"
Janet told the truth, saving. "August went out to buy breakfast, and we accompanied him."
While speaking, she trotted over, stretched out her hand to grab the hem of Lucia's blouse, and said softly, "Mom, did you sleep well? August said you were not feeling well last night, so he could only stay by your side to take care of you."
"What?" Lucia was startled to hear her words and then looked at August in surprise.
She had wished they would never know what had happened last night and had not expected him to tell them so soon.
She was a little annoyed when looking at him. But she could not lose her temper in front of the kids, so she just shot an angry look at him.
August smiled and ignored her glare. Then, he walked up to her and said softly, "I bought your favorite chicken porridge with mushrooms."
Lucia was still angry So, when he approached her, she lowered her voice and asked, "Why did you tell the kids what happened last night?"
