Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786 Husband and Friend

"Sorry to bother you, Lucia, I've told Phillip Shea not to disturb you, but he just..." Edmund Shea's voice sounded apologetic on the phone.

"Well, never mind, he is just a kid, I can understand it." A smile stretched Lucia's lips at her thought of Phillip Shea.

"Lucia, I have to say sorry for the thing that happened at the political reception. I didn't know that Mr. Admas would attend it as well. I didn't mean you to be in a catch-22 situation."

"It's no big deal, I know that it was just a coincidence. Just forget it." Said Lucia hastily.

Before the conversation was about to go on, Phillip, half crying, suddenly said, "Mom, I want to dine with mom..."

"Good boy, daddy will eat with you, ok?" Edmund Shea coaxed him patiently but his words didn't work out. Phillip Shea began to cry for

mom.

Lucia then came to know what Phillip Shea wanted was to have lunch with her. "Does Phillip want to dine with me?" She asked softly.

"Yeah, he has it in his brain all the time after you left last time. I hate to trouble you with a such thing so I just have to bribe him into not calling you. But my trick doesn't work at all today, sorry."

Lucia's ears caught Phillip's cry from time to time as Edmund said awkwardly and her heart twitched at the cry. "What about we dine together outside today for the sake of Phillip?" Lucia offered after careful thought.

"Thank you, Lucia, but he will be ok, I'm good at handling him." Against all expectations, Edmund gave a deliberate refusal, but his tone was tinged with obvious helplessness.

Lucia dropped her eyes at his words, looking as though she was making up her mind. "Don't say that, that's a deal. You just send me the address of the restaurant. I'll be there soon to meet you."

Edmund Shea stole a breath of relief when he heard a positive answer. "Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, you really do me a great favor, Lucia." His voice shook with rapture.

Hanging up the phone, he held Phillip into his arms at once and laughed heartily but weirdly. "Phillip my good boy, you really did a good job, mom will dine with you today, but you need to behave like that in front of her all the time, understand? Only by this way will mom stay with you forever."

Phillip nodded with a confused expression on his face. He didn't understand what daddy was talking about for he only felt his arm was hurt. And he didn't see why daddy kept pinching him when he called.

Lucia prepared to leave after she received the address sent by Edmund within minutes. Somehow, she felt it would be inappropriate to eat out alone with a single man and his son. Hence, she decided to bring Janet and Timothy together with her. The scent of the roses was wafted along by soothing light music and the red roses on the table were strikingly beautiful, just like a beauty's rosy cheeks. This restaurant clearly featured a romantic atmosphere.

For these obvious features, this was a place for couples to date, rather than a place for the family to meet.

Edmund's eyes lip up at the sight of Lucia in the doorway, but soon the light in his eyes died out and was replaced by coldness when he saw Janet and Timothy following in her wake.

He had to take Phillip along with him because he asked Lucia out in the name of Phillip and Phillip wouldn't be a spoiler on their date. As for the kids of August, they wouldn't be as easy to control as Phillip.

Lucia walked gracefully to the table with an elegant smile when Edmund was thinking to himself. But, her smile froze on her lips as Lucia realized that there were only four seats for five people.

Noticing the change in her face, Edmund hastened to motion to the waitress, "Could you please arrange a table for five for us? Thank you very much."

This restaurant was famous for its romantic atmosphere and pretty decoration. That's why people coming here were basically all lovers and couples except the five.

The waitress blushed at the sight of his handsomeness and

gentlemanly manner. She bowed and said respectfully, "Sir, greetings. All booths in the main hall could hold four people at large. If you don't mind, you may dine in the private boxes." How could there be such a romantic atmosphere in the private box?!

Bearing such a thought in his mind, Edmund almost couldn't stand any sight of Janet and Timothy although they were as lovely as angels. And due to the presence of Lucia, he could only try to not show his dislike to them and lead them into the private box. Although Janet and Timothy grew up Amecan, they preferred domestic cuisines to fancy exotic food like beef steak. So after they had little of the food, they played with Phillip merrily on the couch beside the table and the three erupted into waves of laughter

sometimes.
