Lucia quickly looked up as she heard footsteps and saw Edmund standing behind her. Her eyes exhibited a hint of bewilderment, "Why do you return? Didn't you say you were going to have a meeting?"

"The meeting was canceled." Edmund appeared unaffected when his soft gaze landed on her, and he asked, "Did Phillip cause any trouble?"

Hearing this, Lucia quickly shook her head, touching Phillip's head, and responded, "Phillip is the most lovely child I have ever seen.

Taking care of him is a worry-free thing, so you don't have to worry too much."

Edmund lowered his eyes with her voice, and his eyes rested on her white elegant neck. Then his eyes darkened slightly, "Don't you like what Phillip gave you?"

Unconsciously, she caressed her empty neck following his eyes and pulled out a smile full of apologies, "I'm not in the habit of wearing these cumbersome things, and I have my own husband and children, so it is not always proper to wear gifts from others."

Husband and children....

Why did she keep mentioning another man....

He would never allow these obstacles between them!

Edmund's eyes darkened and his voice cooled down a lot. "I thought you were really kind to Phillip, but I didn't think he was just a dispensable outsider to you."

Upon hearing this, Lucia was dazed and uneasy for some reason.

Her relationship with Edmund was not even that of a friend, but he seemed to regard her as an integral part of Phillip's life, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Phillip is a friend of Timothy and Janet. I will be kind to him naturally, but nothing else."

As she spoke, she got up and picked up her coat and handbag. "Now that you're back, I won't be here for long. Timothy and Janet are still waiting for me in the studio."

Seeing that she was leaving, Edmund leaned slightly and blocked her steps, saying, "It's very kind of you to make this special trip. It's

impolite for me to let you go home hungry. I'll treat you to dinner."

When Lucia caught a glimpse of his subtle movements, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled together, and her tone was more alienated,

"You're welcome, Mr. Shea If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Lucia!" He was in a hurry to stop her movements and explained in a low voice, "The aunt asked for leave to go home. Phillip and I can only go hungry at home, so we can take this opportunity to have a meal together..."

Lucia gave him a chilly gaze. The watchfulness in her eyes grew more pronounced.

Phillip instantly got off the sofa and hurried over to Lucia, giving her a strong hug and putting on a saddened expression while his eyes were filled with obvious reluctance, and kept murmuring "mom".

Seeing this, Lucia's heart softened. She squatted down to gently persuade, "I will come and see you another day. Will you play with Dad at home?"

Phillip shook his head sadly. His bright eyes immediately filled with tears, and the grip of his hands on Lucia tightened.

Edmund looked at this scene with eyes flashing with a sinister light. "Since Ms. Mitchell has other matters to attend to", Edmund pretended to be in a jam and said, "It wouldn't be nice of me to insist on your staying."

Edmund turned his eyes to Phillip, with a slight reproach in his tone. "Phillip should behave yourself in front of mom, or she won't come. to see you again."

When Lucia heard that Edmund followed Phillip in addressing her "mom," she clenched her eyebrows and spaced the words for emphasis, "Phillip is very young. The definition of his mother in his life should not be me. Mr. Shea should also think more about Phillip and give him a complete home as soon as possible."
