Chapter 788 Candlelight Dinner

The living room was brightly lit as usual but was unusually quiet. Janet and Timothy were nowhere to be seen. Only the well-cooked food on the table was enveloped by the candlelight, seeming

extremely romantic.

"Could it be that someone has burst into our home?" Lucia was frightened by the scene downstairs.

Mark and Ethan really gave Lucia a quite scare last time and she was still frightened of their break-in.

August understood her scare. "Do you think intruders will prepare dinner for us thoughtfully?" Wrapping her hand with his warm hand, August said calmly.

His words, maybe his firm voice, eased Lucia's mind greatly and offered her a sense of security. Lucia's body was no longer taut, then she stepped to the table.

There was a pink sticky note on the table, which read "Dear mommy and daddy, we have gone to our bed. Enjoy your delicious dinner. Your dear Janet and Timothy"

The cute scribble on the note was a dead giveaway to who wrote this note.

The note and words on it were so funny that Lucia cracked up.

Slipping the note into August's hand, she looked at the food on the table and found surprisingly her favorite dishes were all laying out on it.

And the flowers in the vase were also her favorite sunflower.

Though the flowers were incompatible with the candlelight dinner, only one look could Lucia know that the dinner was prepared to suit her.

"What the two little things are doing? Lucia wondered, but her voice was full of delight.

August didn't respond to her. He just pulled out the chair for Lucia and invited her to sit with all smiles. As they sat down together, the aroma of champagne wafted toward them.

"August, it seems that you have known the candlelight dinner beforehand but you kept it from me and conspired with Timothy and Janet to surprise me, right?" Lucia gave him a pettish scold, laughingly.

Toasting in champagne, August explained with a hint of designed grievance, "I don't know either, or I won't work so late at my study." "Well, fair enough," Biting her lips, Lucia continued, "For their sake, I'll overlook it this time..." Smiles lit up Lucia's fine features as she was teasing August.

After a few glasses of wine, Lucia's cheeks were glowing from alcohol and her head was teetering on the brink of sobriety that she didn't know that she was getting her words muddled up.

Cracking her eyes up, Lucia's vision was getting blurry. She stared in the direction of August and murmured, "Why do I see two Augusts at the same time? Did you learn Kagebunsin at Griffith Organization?"

"You are not sober now." Said August with a pair of soulful eyes fixing on Lucia, who was lying on all sides.

There was a trace of imperceptible pampering in his voice, so

subtle that even he himself didn't realize that.

"Nonsense, I'm sober enough now," Lucia mumbled, wagging her finger in front of August.

After saying, she slumped down in her chair.

August produced a resigned smile, then came forward to lift her up with his arms. With such close body contact, he could smell her sweet scent mixed with the aroma of the wine. August almost lost his breath, his whole body going taut.

Knowing nothing about what was going to happen, Lucia couldn't

help rubbing against his broad, solid chest when she felt August's heartbeat. "August, you really smell good."
