Chapter 835 He Doesn't Love You Anymore
Lucia wondered whether August had ever thought that his words might expose her plan and even push her into a bottomless abyss. Although they were no longer a couple, they weren't deadly enemies who hated each other. Why had he pushed her so hard as if intending to kill her?
Lucia couldn't help clenching her fists and then responded sullenly, "Since you need to talk business, I'll leave now.’
Currer observed all her subtle expressions. Seeing August's aggressive attitude, she suddenly felt a burst of joy in her heart. The depressed emotions she had suffered because of Lucia recently instantly disappeared.
Seeing Lucia getting up to leave, Currer immediately stopped her with a sneer and said slowly, "We are Mr. Shea's friends after all. Now that he is engaged to such a beautiful woman like you, we must celebrate it for him.“
Then, she waved to the waiter and took out a gold card from her purse. After she whispered a few words, the waiter left respectfully. Soon, the signature desserts and coffee of the cafe and many specialties from other restaurants were served on the table.
With a fake smile on her face, Currer explained loudly, "I guess you are tired and don't want to go to another restaurant now. So, I let the waiter buy some decent food for us."
Before she finished speaking, August picked up a piece of beef with his fork and gracefully placed it on her plate. This was the first time he had done such a thing, so Currer was a little flattered. She instantly blushed, got at a loss for what to say, and then threw herself into his arms shyly.
To her surprise, August didn't avoid her as usual but reminded her in a deep voice, You've worked hard today. Take care of yourself first."
August..." Currer whispered in a delicate voice, wishing she could hang herself on him.
When Lucia heard their conversation, her hand suddenly shook, so the delicious food she was picking up fell to the table. Her expression became even more embarrassed, and she wished she could bury her head in the plate.
Edmund put a piece of fish on her plate and explained with a chuckle, It's the first time Lucia has accompanied me to a dinner meeting, so she is not used to it. I hope you don't mind."
We don't mind at all!" Currer squinted at them sullenly and raised her hand to send a piece of fish in front of August's lips.
August turned aside slightly, picked up a napkin, and wiped his lips gently. Then, he intentionally looked at Lucia.
Sensing his harsh gaze, Lucia lowered her head even more and felt increasingly embarrassed. So, she intended to cover up her embarrassment by drinking coffee.
"Be careful! It's hot."
Before Edmund finished speaking, her exquisite facial features wrinkled together. And then, she put down the cup and let out a cry in pain. Seeing this, Edmund showed a helpless smile, and even his reprimanding tone sounded extremely doting.
To Lucia, this dining table was like a battlefield without blood. The four of them were all expressing their most primitive emotions, but she was incompatible.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she felt. So, she put down the fork, got up, and said in a cold voice, "Sorry, I don't like such occasions. I will leave now."
