Chapter 65


    "Who...who is it?" Lizbeth looked back a few times, but there were so many pedestrians that she


    couldn''t tell who was spying on her.


    She didn''t think she was mistaken, but she didn''t feel scared either.


    She was such a beautiful and ssy woman. Since when had she left a bar without people following


    her? Hah, what a bunch of horny men!


    Lizbeth stopped looking back and stumbled to her car to unlock the doors.


    However, the moment she unlocked the doors, two men rushed forward, opened the doors to the


    backseat, and got into the car.


    ...


    In the end, Lucy went back to the Figueroa family as she wished. However, Arthur and Chad went


    along with her uninvited. They stayed from morning till seven o''clock in the evening and had no


    intention of leaving.


    "Arthur, sorry for the trouble these few days. I''m sure there is lots of business you have to deal with at


    the office?" Lucy frowned, politely dismissing her guests.


    She had not seen Caden in nearly half a month. If they did not leave, she dared not see Caden!


    "Nope." Arthur sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, making the ordinary sofa look like a throne.


    Chad said cheerfully, "I''m not bragging, but Arthur is great at everything, especially looking through


    documents! He can spot the issue with just two nces while other people need more than an hour!"


    Arthur must have saved the world in his past life to be blessed with such a good friend like Chad!


    Lucy wanted to say something, but Mrs. Figueroa came out in an apron and said with a smile, "Dinner


    is ready. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shaffer, if you don''t mind, you can join us for dinner."


    "What a great pleasure to be invited." Arthur stood up with a look of sincerity on his handsome face.


    Chad''s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Arthur was handsome and good with words, how cool!


    Mrs. Figueroa smiled from ear to ear. "Not only are you handsome, but you''re also so good with words.


    You even have a good temper. Lucy, how lucky you are to be married to Mr. Johnson!"


    Arthur was totally different from how Kh described him!


    "Mrs. Figueroa, not only are you beautiful, but you''re also a great cook. If I didn''t have Lucy, I would


    surely pursue you." Arthur looked quite expressionless, but his manners were impable. Mrs.


    Figueroa liked what she heard.


    Mrs. Figueroa covered her mouth and smiled as brightly as the sun. She didn''t even notice when Mr.


    Figueroa coughed twice.


    Kh crept up to Lucy and said nkly, "Lucy, why do I feel like I''m dreaming? Is that man


    complimenting my mom really Arthur?"


    "...Yes." Lucy had never seen Arthur like this. Or rather, ever since she was hospitalized, she had felt


    that Arthur was apletely different person.


    Although he still looked indifferent all the time, he was very thoughtful. He was nothing like the Arthur


    from five years ago.


    Kh rested her chin on her hand and seemed to be lost in thought. "To be honest, he''s not bad how


    he is now... It''s just that he''s too partial to Lizbeth!"


    Lucy pursed her lips and said nothing.


    It was fortunate that Arthur was partial to Lizbeth. Otherwise, if he treated her so well, she was not sure


    if she would be able to reject him firmly!


    "Why are you two still standing there? Come and help me with the dishes. It''s dinner time!" Mrs.


    Figueroa called out to them.


    "I''ming!" Feeling that her hair was in the way, Lucy tied it up and quickly walked to the kitchen.


    Kh sneaked a few nces at Arthur and muttered, "Could he be possessed?"


    She went to the kitchen while muttering to herself.


    "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shaffer, please." Mr. Figueroa stood up and invited them to the dining room.


    The dining room was right next to the kitchen. While Lucy was busying herself in the kitchen, she felt


    an intense gaze fixed on her.


    She cast a subtle nce outside and coincidentally met Arthur''s gaze.


    Arthur''s eyes were filled with a naked look of possessiveness and gentleness. His intense affection for


    her pulled her into a whirlpool of love.


    Thump!


    Lucy''s heart skipped a beat and began to beat frantically. She couldn''t control it at all!


    "Lucy, what are you looking at?" Kh came up to her holding a bowl of mushroom soup and nudged


    Lucy with her butt.


    Lucy withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly. "Nothing."


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She wouldn''t let herself fall in love with Arthur a second time!


    "Nothing," Kh imitated Lucy''s tone and rolled her eyes. "Lucy, don''t be foolish! Arthur''s bad news,


    and if you give in to him now, you''re going to suffer next time!"


    "Shoo! Hurry up and bring the dishes outside! You''re bad influence to a good girl like Lucy!" Mrs.


    Figueroa pped Kh on her butt.


    With a snort, Kh threw her head back and walked away.


    "Lucy." Mrs. Figueroa stopped smiling. "Don''t listen to Kh''s nonsense. Think about what you want for


    yourself. I feel like Mr. Johnson''s not too bad!"


    "Yes, I know." Lucy smiled and shed her dimples. Then, she went out holding a te of food.


    Mrs. Figueroa watched her go and sighed.


    Lucy had such a difficult life, and she wished that Lucy would find herself a good man and lead a good


    life.


    However, things didn''t look good between Lucy and Mr. Johnson!


    The dishes had all been served, and Arthur, Chad, and Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa had all taken their seats.


    There were two empty seats left.


    Kh raised an eyebrow and headed towards the seat between Arthur and Mrs. Figueroa.


    As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Figueroa gave her a look and said, "This is Lucy''s seat. Go sit with your


    father!"


    "Mom—"


    "You don''t want that sports car anymore, do you?"


    Kh immediately shut up and shot Lucy a helpless look. Then, she reluctantly took the seat between


    Mr. Figueroa and Chad.


    Lucy silently sat down beside Arthur. She tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and ate


    quietly.


    "Kh, I told you that nothing''s worse than ruining two people''s rtionship. Why must you keep


    getting in between Arthur and Lucy?" Chadined softly.


    Kh pushed his head away and said in horror, "Are you possessed? Were you trying to kiss me in


    front of my dad?"


    Getting in between?


    Bah, she wasn''t some mistress!


    "I..." Just as Chad was about to exin, he got a sharp look from Mr. Figueroa.


    "Kh, take my seat." Mr. Figueroa stood up and switched seats with Kh, eyeing Chad warily.


    Mrs. Figueroa nced at Chad, thinking that he was a sweet-talker. He was nowhere as honest as Mr.


    Johnson!


    Chad was speechless at being judged as Kh''s future husband for no reason.


    ''Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa, you''re really mistaken!'' He thought.


    Under normal circumstances, Lucy would have been interested in watching the show, but Arthur was


    right beside her, and she really couldn''t find the mood.


    She ate mechanically, her mind filled with thoughts of Caden. She hadn''t seen him in ages.


    This was the longest time she had been away from her son!


    While her thoughts were everywhere, a shrimp suddenly appeared on her te.
