As soon as the door was opened, Zoel quickly leaned forward and closed the door. He grabbed the seat belt with one hand and strapped her in with it while his face was pressing against hers...
At that moment, Franklin was passing by the car, and from the side view, he saw Zoel and Lucille appeared to be kissing each other!
Out of impulse, he lifted his foot and kicked the car with a bang.
Zoel raised his head, rolled down the window and stared at Franklin who was staring at the side of the car. He pretended to be surprised and said, "President Moore, what do you mean by this? I guess you won't mistake my shabby car as yours, will you?" "Well, I have something to talk to my ex-wife."
Franklin said and looked toward Lucille. There was a touch of a smile on his face, as if he was not angry at what he had seen.
Lucille didn't want to be misunderstood, thus she explained, "Mr. Moore, we didn't do anything just now, it's just the matter of view..."
"It's no longer my business." She was interrupted mercilessly by Franklin, "I just want to tell you that all the previous agreements have been canceled. Even if the child is mine, I will not marry you again."
Franklin then added, "Of course, now it seems that it's impossible for the child to be mine."
After that, he strode away.
"No!" Lucille was panicked when she saw Franklin was leaving. She opened the door and wanted to get off the car, only to find that she was wearing a seat belt. When she unfastened the seat belt and was about to chase after Franklin, he had sped off with his car.
Lucille chased after the car desperately, regardless of other bosses' stare.
She ran as fast as she could. She chased all the way to the exit of the parking lot until she was stopped by Zoel.
"Are you done?"
Zoel asked loudly.
"Mr. Parker, I don't know what's your intention. However, I am just your employee." Lucille wanted to break free from Zoel's grip.
At that moment, she had lost her marbles.
Her senses was completely lost with the departure of Franklin.
"It's not up to you." Zoel did not want to attract more attention. He simply lifted up Lucille and then placed her into the car forcefully. After fastening the seat belt for her, he said, "If you want to resolve this misunderstanding, I am the only one who can help you."
Lucille wished to get off the car initially. After listening to what he said, she went silent.
It was only then that Zoel drove the car peacefully, fetching her back to the gallery.
When they arrived at the gallery, Zoel sat there and lit a cigarette. When he thought of Lucille being pregnant, he put it off and asked, "Tell me, why did you divorce him?"
"He had a vasectomy but I got pregnant. However, I really did not cheat on him..."
Lucille gave a brief account of what had happened.
"I see. He suspects that you've cheated on him, doesn't he?" Zoel finally understood.
"That's right."
"How long have you been with him?" Zoel sat cross- legged and his face was full of suspicion, "It's only been a month since I have known you, but I can tell that you are not the type who dares to cheat. He was just getting an excuse to divorce you."
Lucille was timid and coward. She didn't even dare to speak loudly. How could she cheat on someone?
"No, he has been ligated while I am pregnant with a child. It makes sense that he suspects... but I don’t know what’s going on. I even checked on the internet. The sperm duct is removed during the vasectomy, it's impossible for me to get pregnant."
Zoel took a glance at Lucille when she was having a recollection of Franklin. There was a faint smile at the corners of her lips. Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with affection and expectation.
She had never shown such expression while she was talking about others.
When Zoel saw that, he was a little jealous. He laid his head on his hand and said with his head aslant, "You're wrong. That's just your wishful thinking. Your heart is playing tricks with your mind."
"No, he..."
"He is." Zoel interrupted without waiting for her to say further, "We were classmates since we were in junior high school. He only loves a woman throughout his life, who is Valerie. Later, we didn't know why he didn't love her anymore. But that woman is deeply ingrained in his heart. Even if he doesn't mention about her now, it's just that he hides his affection but it is not gone."
"No, I know Valerie. When she got into trouble last time, Mr. Moore also appeared in court specifically to testify...He...he doesn't love her anymore."
Just as Lucille mentioned it, she felt bitterness and discomfort in her heart.
She had no confidence at all. Or perhaps it was just her wishful thinking.
"It's impossible, he loved her so much then that he was willing to die for her. This kind of affection is deeply ingrained. If it were you, would you simply get rid of this affection?" Zoel said affirmatively.
His questioning made Lucille lose her mind.
When Zoel asked that, she already knew the answer in her heart.
It was how Franklin existed in her heart. No matter how the others slandered him, she would not change her mind.
Even if he treated her like that, she couldn't stop falling in love with him either.
