Chapter 798 Make-up Birthday
"It's none of my business." She refuted angrily, cast a sidelong glance at him, and asked, "Are you planning to explain to me?"
August didn't speak. He walked to the desk beside him, threw the collected photos on it, and mocked with a faint smile, "Who will explain to whom?"
When her eyes fell on the photos, her angry expression instantly froze, and her face even turned pale. She wanted to tell August that the truth was not what was shown in the photos and that she had rejected Edmund flatly.
But the photos were not videos, and the conversation between her and Edmund would not be played automatically.
All the explanations seemed unconvincing and she choked. Just now she had justly said that "what the eyes see may not necessarily be all fake". She had not expected herself to be slapped in the face so quickly.
"I rejected Edmund." Her explanation sounded a little lacking in confidence.
August snorted in a response to her explanation, and said slowly, "Lucia, some part of your personality hasn't changed at all."
He intentionally emphasized the word "some part". Lucia's face became paler and she unconsciously took two steps back, staring at him in disbelief.
"Do you suspect that Edmund and I are seeing each other?" Her voice was trembling slightly, "I went to see him because of Phillip, and today is Phillip's birthday."
"This photo doesn't look like it." August picked up a photo and waved it in front of her eyes, "If it's just a birthday, why would you keep it from me?"
In the photo, it looked more like they were dating alone. There was even a feeling that Edmund wanted to propose marriage. It didn't look like they were planning to celebrate a child's birthday anyway.
Lucia was speechless and she couldn't help feeling sad. But her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed any tears.
"Can it prove my and Currer's innocence now?" He said coldly.
Lucia looked at him and suddenly laughed self-mockingly. It turned out that August had suspected her since he saw the photos and he had just kept it in his heart and didn't say anything. Now he took out the photos and questioned her just to blame it all on her.
She took a deep breath, and responded sullenly, "Since we all have our conclusions in our hearts, then let's call it even."
Seeing her rush out the door, August felt more depressed. He couldn't help but tug at his tie, stuffed all the photos into the shredder, and shredded them into pieces.
Even if he didn't hear what Timothy eavesdropped on, he would still choose to believe Lucia. He was angry just because he didn't understand why Lucia had gone to see Edmund without telling him.
Two childish and delicate faces protruded from the entrance of the living room. Janet gently tugged at her brother's clothes and said in a low voice, "Timothy, it seems that Mom and Dad fought."
Timothy blinked his bright eyes slightly, and he whispered something in her ear. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to catch up with Lucia.
Timothy, on the other hand, looked like an adult, and walked slowly to August's side, "Mom is angry. You should be very happy, right?"
Seeing his son's sophisticated look, August raised his brows slightly and didn't say anything.
Lucia got angry when she saw him with Currer, which meant she was jealous. Simply put, this fact did make him a little bit happy.
Seeing his expression, Timothy knew what was going on in his heart. Instead of continuing this topic, he asked a little worriedly, "Why didn't you tell Mom the truth?"
"Seeing is believing. There is nothing to explain." August said in a deep voice.
Timothy wanted to roll his eyes at his father but felt that it wasn't appropriate. So he could only suppress the complaints in his heart, and just muttered in a low voice, "You will lose your wife sooner or later."
At the same time, Janet said in a childish voice in the master bedroom upstairs, "You have the right to doubt Dad, and of course, Dad has the right to doubt you, too."
Lucia was so upset that she didn't pay any attention to Janet at the moment, even though Janet had been talking to her and trying to comfort her for a while.
Janet pouted and climbed onto Lucia, "Mom, you think you have a clear conscience. So why can't Dad have a clear conscience?"
It
The room was still silent, but Lucia suddenly blinked. It was obvious that she had listened to these words, but she didn't bother to pay attention.
Janet nestled in her arms, looking extremely soft and cute, but she sounded aggrieved, "Phillip is really happy. He can experience the feeling of a family on his birthday. But my brother and I could only celebrate our birthday as a single-parent family."
Indeed, Timothy and Janet's birthday was in April, which was the busiest time for Paul, their nominal father. So when they were in Amecan, she had always spent birthdays alone with the children.
Hearing the low and aggrieved voice of her precious daughter, Lucia felt upset. But it was only March now, and there was still a month before the birthday of the children.
Janet suddenly thought of something and raised her head with an expectant expression, "Mom, why don't you give my brother and me a make-up birthday?"
Makeup? Lucia was surprised, lost in thought.
Janet nodded seriously, "My brother and I can be regarded as public figures now. We have fans and maybe we will make a big fuss on our birthday. We even have to prepare a birthday party or something, so we won't have the opportunity to celebrate our birthday with you and Dad alone."
