Chapter 188
In Arthur''s room.
The sound of running water could be vaguely heard in the bathroom. After a while, the sound of
running water stopped and Arthur came out with a bath towel.
He didn''t know if it was because of the hot water or other reasons, but his handsome face was flushed,
and there was a little sexiness in his forbidden breath.
He took a towel and wiped his hair a few times. The water droplets flowed along his chest muscles,
over the sexy mermaid line, and finally slipped into the bath towel.
Arthur lowered his head and looked at his body. His long, thick eyebrows furrowed, and the evil fire that
he had just suppressed came out again, which made him very annoyed.
He stood up and walked around a few times. His heart became more and more anxious. He couldn''t
help but think of Lucy''s figure. In the end, he couldn''t help but walk out of the door and involuntarily
walked to the door of Lucy''s room.
This was obviously his vi, but he subconsciously looked around. After making sure that there was no
one around, he gently opened the door.
"Sir, you..."
Arthur had not yet walked in when he was suddenly shouted by Aunty Julianne. The muscles all over
his body tightened, and he immediately motioned for her to shut up.
Aunty Julianne walked up to her and whispered, "Sir, Mrs. Johnson is ready to sleep."
In the middle of the night, what did the master run around with a bath towel? If she didn''t know the
master, she would have regarded the master as a pervert!
"I got it," Arthur replied coldly.
"You got it?" Aunty Julianne looked at him with a puzzled look. "Why is Mr. Johnson so strange
tonight?"
Standing in front of Lucy''s door, Arthur''s burning fire became more and more intense, but his face was
cold. "Is there anything else?"
"I''m... I''m fine." Aunty Julianne didn''t dare to ask any more questions and left with questions.
After making sure that she had left again and again, Arthur entered the room quietly and locked the
door. His burning eyes fell on the bed, and his breathing became heavier.
Lucy had just finished her shower and her hair wasn''tpletely dry yet. Shey t on the bed with
her eyes closed. Her oval curly hair made her palm-sized little face look even more delicate and
delicate.
Her quilt just covered her chest. Her slender swan neck was exposed, and the gully in front of her was
partly visible.
Arthur couldn''t help but walk to her side. His handnded on top of her face, painting her facial features
in the air.
As long as he waved his hand, a woman who was more beautiful than him would pounce on him.
However, such a woman with thorns had entered his heart...
His gaze slowly fell on the gully in front of her. Instantly, his mouth and tongue went dry, and his hand
couldn''t help falling in front of her.
His gaze slowly fell on the gully in front of her. Instantly, his mouth and tongue went dry, and his hand
couldn''t help falling in front of her.
"What''s the matter?" Lucy suddenly opened his eyes, his eyesnding on his hands.
Arthur''s handsome face was a little hot, but he still remained calm. "Grandpa has discussed with the
Byrd family that Lizbeth will be locked up in the Byrd family."
Lucy didn''t say anything, only the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile.
Lizbeth framed her in all kinds of ways, kidnapped someone and tried to rape her. Then she wanted to
strangle her in public, but she was locked up in the Byrd family in the end.
If it were her, she would have been killed by Arthur as early as when she framed Lizbeth.
"This is just the result of the current discussion." Arthur did not want to let Lizbeth go like this, but his
grandfather valued the friendship between the two families very much. If he insisted on attacking her
because of Lucy, his grandfather would make things difficult for Lucy.
Lucyughed coldly. "Are you done?"
"Even if it''s for the sake of the child, I won''t let anything happen to you." Her sneer made the heat in his
body stop in an instant, followed by anger.
How could she have the confidence to put on a straight face when she and Maddox had done such a
thing?
He nced at her coldly, then mmed the door and went out.
Lucy looked at the tightly shut door and his heart sank little by little. If she was not pregnant, would
Lizbeth strangle her to death? Would he not even look at her again?
She struggled to sit up with the help of the bed and gently caressed her belly. Her voice was bitter as
she said, "Baby, what do you think Mommy should do? If Mommy were to be driven away, would you
really treat Elyse like Mommy?"
She also wanted to take the child away from here, but she couldn''t leave the Johnson family on her
own.
Moreover, Arthur had warned her that whoever she asked for help with would be destroyed... What else
could she do other than staying in the Johnson family?
...
Arthur leaned against the door with bloodshot eyes. His anger was about to burst out of his body.
He tried his best to be nice to her and make up for the harm he had done to her five years ago. What
else could she be satisfied with?
Or was it because someone else had taken her heart for a long time, and she had long lost his ce in
her heart?
Peng!
Arthur panted heavily as he mmed his fist against the wall. Ayer of skin appeared on his hand,
and ayer of blood seeped out. However, this little bit of pain in his body could not bepared to the
pain in his heart.
"Mr. Johnson, you''re injured. I''ll bandage your wound!" Ruby ran over with a worried look on her face.
She was afraid that the people inside could not hear her, so she deliberately raised her voice.
Arthur raised his eyes and stared at her with bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast in a violent rage.
Ruby''s hair stood on end. She could not help stepping back and her eyshes kept trembling. "Mr.
Johnson looks really scary. What is he going to do?"
"Young... Mr. Johnson, your hand is injured. It''s... very painful, isn''t it? I''ll take you to bandage it." She
was so nervous that her tongue began to knot.
Arthur''s eagle-like eyes were fixed on her. He approached her step by step, and there seemed to be a
storm brewing in his ck eyes.
Ruby retreated step by step until her back was against the wall and she had nowhere to retreat to. Her
forehead was already covered with ayer of cold sweat.
He supported himself against the wall with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. He lowered
his head bit by bit. For the past five years, Lucy had been living a wonderful life. How could he be
worse than her?
It was so sudden that Ruby waspletely dumbfounded. She did not even have time to react.
But when Arthur was about to kiss her, he suddenly pushed her away with a pale face. They looked
exactly the same, but he didn''t feel anything about Elyse at all. He even felt sick and wanted to throw
up.
Seeing this, Ruby quickly retreated to the side, with ayer of cold sweat on her back.
Mr. Johnson actually wanted to kiss her!!!
"Do you want to be Mrs. Johnson?" Arthur''s cold voice was higher than usual, as if he wanted
someone to hear him.
The cold sweat that had just fallen from Ruby''s back started to form again. "Wh-what?"
She had known Mr. Johnson for a period of time, and she had specifically read and studied his
information. She had also discussed him with Mr. Wace many times.
But until now, she still couldn''t figure out Mr. Johnson''s thoughts at all.
What did he mean by that? He wanted to marry her?
"Good girl, hold on for a while longer. Only you are qualified to be my wife." Arthur''s voice was
deliberately gentle, but his sharp and handsome face was cold.

Ruby did not see his expression and her mind went nk after hearing his words.
