Chapter 38


    Lucy drove to the Figueroa family in a hurry, and when she reached, Caden had already been waiting


    at the door for a long time. "Mommy, Aunt Kh has been crying the whole time. I asked her toe


    out to eat, but she won''t!"


    He threw himself at her and hugged her legs. He sounded disheartened.


    "Alright, mommy will go check on her with you. Don''t worry." Lucy carried Caden and walked to Kh''s


    bedroom while the servants, who were at a loss on what to do, watched her.


    "What happened?" Lucy asked a nearby servant.

    The servant shook her head, looking confused. "Miss Kh suddenly started crying. I don''t know


    what''s going on either."


    "Okay, I got it. Take Caden and leave us." Lucy handed Caden to the servant and asked the butler for


    the key to Kh''s room.


    Creak.


    As soon as the key fit the lock, Kh yelled angrily, "Who said you could open the door? Get lost!"


    Then, there was a loud smash. Kh must have hurled a vase at the floor.


    Lucy ignored her yells and continued unlocking the door.


    As soon as she opened the door, a ss flew right at her face, and she dodged hastily.


    The ss fell to the floor and broke into pieces.


    "You... why are you here?" Kh was holding another ss, but when she saw that it was Lucy, she


    set it down and continued to cry.


    Lucy carefully skirted the mess on the floor and teased her, "Babe, why are you crying waterfalls? All


    your mascara''s smudged."


    "Get lost!" Kh pulled out a tissue and blew her nose into it loudly. Her voice sounded thick and nasal.


    "I''m crying so sadly, but you''re still in the mood for jokes? Don''t you have any sympathy?"


    "What sympathy? I don''t even know why you''re crying!" Lucy leaned against the wall and looked down


    at Kh, who was sniffling.


    Kh red at her andined why sobbing, "I...I definitely...did something terrible in my past


    life...to deserve a friend as bad as you! Don''t...don''t you have anything nice to say?"


    Tears and snot flowed again, and Kh reached out for tissue just to find that the two boxes of tissue


    were finished!


    "Here!" Lucy handed her a packet of tissue.


    Kh took it and used one to wipe her snot. "What''s that scent? It''s...so horrible!"


    "Since you''re still in the mood toin about the tissue''s scent, it proves you aren''t that sad." Lucy


    snatched her tissue back.


    "Lucy, do you still have a conscience? I gave your troublesome family almost a million, but you''re still


    stingy with a packet of tissue?!" Kh tried to push herself up off the floor.


    However, maybe because she had been squatting for a long time and her legs had gone numb, she


    lost her bnce and plopped onto the floor.


    Lucy went to help her as her smile disappeared. "Have you been crying for very long? What


    happened?"


    Kh ignored her and staggered to the bedside, where she sat down and massaged her sore legs.


    Just as Lucy thought she wouldn''t say anything, Kh suddenly said, "Oliver broke up with me."


    "Why?" Lucy frowned. Kh and Oliver''s rtionship had always been strong. Why would they


    suddenly break up?


    Kh shook her head and her tears flowed again. "He said he wanted to break up with me and ended


    the call. I called him again, but he...didn''t answer."


    "You didn''t look for him?"


    "... I don''t dare to."


    Lucy poked her on the head. "You even dare scold Arthur. Why wouldn''t you dare to look for Oliver and


    ask him the reason?"


    "Don''t poke my head. You''ve already poked mymon sense away!" She didn''t dare to look for


    Oliver because she was afraid that he had really made up his mind to break up with her.


    After knowing her for so many years, Lucy could pretty much guess what she was thinking. "Kh, let''s


    go. Let''s go get things straight with him!"


    "I don''t want to go!" Kh pped her hand away and scooted backwards. The timid version of Kh


    was theplete opposite of her usual self.


    "If you don''t get to the bottom of it now, what do you n to do? Pretend he never broke up with you?"


    Lucy reached out to pull Kh. "Come on!"


    This time, Kh didn''t p her hand away but let Lucy pull her along.


    Lucy drove her to Oliver''s office and gave him a phone call. However, even after a few tries, nobody


    answered. During thest few times, he even sent her straight to voicemail.


    "Stop calling him. He won''t pick up." Kh was curled up in the passenger seat, looking vulnerable like


    never before.


    Just as Lucy was about to say something, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.


    "Oliver!" She shouted and dashed out of the car. She got a hold of Oliver, who was trying to run away.


    Kh was looking at Oliver, but she pulled her foot back just as she was about to get out. Before that


    day, she had never thought that she would ever be so cowardly.


    "Can I help you?" Oliver dared not look Lucy in the eye as he spoke to her.


    Lucy refused to let go of him for fear that he would run away. "Why did you break up with Kh? Does


    she not treat you well enough?"


    "It''s not a matter of whether she treats me well enough. I already told Kh we''re breaking up." His


    colleagues, who were passing by, knew Oliver, and he tried to shake Lucy''s hand off.


    "Then what''s the matter?" Lucy tightened her grip. She had to get to the bottom of it on Kh''s behalf!


    "That''s Oliver from our department. He has a wless girlfriend!"


    "So what his girlfriend''s wless? Too bad her family won''t approve of a poord like him!"


    Right then, two guys who worked there walked past, and their conversation reached Oliver''s ears.


    They hadn''t kept their voices down as though they intentionally wanted Oliver to hear them.


    "Are you guys done?!" Oliver didn''t know what triggered him, but his patience broke. He shook Lucy off


    and yelled at the two guys.


    He was a polite and smart-looking man, but right then, his face was flushed and there was a look of


    fury in his eyes. He looked very scary.


    The two guys nced at him strangely and left while talking.


    "Do you understand now?" Oliver looked at Lucy. His anger was mixed with bitterness. "Someone like


    me is out of Kh''s league. Her family will never approve of us getting married!"


    "But Kh doesn''t care about these things. You guys can just wait a few more years until her parents


    give in, then get married." Lucy never expected this to be the reason for their breakup.


    Oliverughed self-mockingly. The bitter look in his eyes got more intense. "But my father is sick. He


    only has six more months to live, so I must get married within those six months. Could that be possible


    with Kh?"


    Lucy was shocked. She did not know that Oliver''s father was ill...


    He added, "Even if things work out with Kh, there''s no way I can date her! I''ve had enough with


    people calling me a gigolo!"


    Kh walked over. Without even looking at him, she pulled at Lucy and said, "Lucy, let''s go."


    "...Okay." Lucy turned around to look at Oliver, only to find him crouching on the floor, crying in public.


    All his anger was gone.


    She thought Kh would look back at him, but she didn''t even spare him a nce.


    "Lucy, have a few drinks with me." Only when they got into the car did Kh bite her lip and cry


    sorrowfully.
