"Did she say anything to you?" Arthur pondered for a moment before raising his eyes and asking Eduard.


    "She just wouldn''t talk about it before I came to you." Eduard said with frown and was worried.


    "Thank you for caring so much about her." Arthur knew it was Esmae who was the cause, and was grateful that Eduard had sought himself out specifically for Lucia.


    "Are you still in a position to say that?" Eduard nced up at Arthur. His eyes were sharp, and then he lowered his head to the tea set. He did not want to ept his kindness. He did not forget what he did to Lucia, but felt aggrieved for Lucia.


    "Didn''t you say before that you could understand me?" Arthur didn''t get annoyed, but asked with a slightly scoffing tone.


    "But you''re so slow to actually do anything. I''m curious how you found time to spend your vacation with Lucia when Juliana was home with the kids." Eduard had wanted to ask Lucia before, but was afraid of arousing bad feelings for her. So, now was the perfect opportunity to ask Arthur himself.


    "She''s already taken the baby back home." Arthur lowered his eyes and told him straight.


    "Back home?" Eduard looked up with his words. If he could remember it correctly, Juliana should still recover after childbirth, right?


    "Well, because I''m having the baby''s DNA tested," Arthur confessed frankly.This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Eduard''s eyes widened and it took a while for him to digest Arthur''s words and he asked hastily, "You suspect Juliana''s child is not yours?" Arthur was nonmittal.


    "Does Lucia know it?" Eduard continued to ask hurriedly.


    "I don''t know, because I''m not sure. And I don''t want Lucia to have hope and end up losing it," said Arthur.


    "That makes sense. Don''t worry. I won''t mention it to her," Eduard sighed. Just now he himself said Arthur''s action was too slow but he didn''t expect him to really go to think about Juliana''s fishy act. In that case, then ... Eduard reached out and dumped the tea in Arthur''s cup, and poured him a new cup of tea. This time, it was just the right amount.


    "Have some tea."


    Arthur found it funny. It seemed that to have a good cup of tea depended on how Eduard saw himself.


    He reached out to pick up the cup of tea and took a sip. The aroma of tea overflowed in the mouth but the taste was bitter and strong. Arthur grew up abroad and rarely came into contact with the traditional tea culture in Athegate. He could not ept the strong vor of this cup of tea for a while. Eduard saw his expression and said immediately, "Don''t throw up!"


    Arthur won''t really vomit. He kept the tea in his mouth for a moment after he swallowed with difficulty. Eduardughed, "Wait a little longer. The tea will be sweet after bitter."


    As Eduard said, after the bitterness, a sweetness spread in the mouth. Arthur raised an eyebrow and quite liked the taste.


    Looking at Arthur''s gradually relieved expression, Eduard said, "I hope you and Lucia, too, will do the same." Arthur looked up and saw a genuine smile on Eduard''s face, so he was alluding to his rtionship with Lucia. Without hesitation, Arthur picked up his cup of tea and took another sip, answering in a firm tone, "Definitely!"


    After thinking it over, Arthur decided to go to Lepus himself to get Lucia and Theodore''s photos back. Sophie didn''t advise much when she found out, but just told Arthur to stay calm and not to get into conflict with Ka again.


    Arthur followed his mother''s orders and arrived in Lepus at noon the next day. As soon as he got off the ne, he rushed directly to the Knight family mansion, and when he arrived, he specifically called Robert because Ka''s hostility towards him was deeper and her character was more straightforward. Having Robert with him could ease the atmosphere a bit.


    Robert rushed home as soon as he received Arthur''s call. Even if it wasn''t to control Ka''s temper, there were some things he wanted to ask Arthur in person.


    Ka was a little surprised to see her husband home at noon, as he was usually still at work at this time of day, but she didn''t have to wonder for long, because Robert had juste home and Arthur was on the doorstep.


    When she saw that Arthur had reallye, Ka was even more upset because she knew that Arthur hade in person for the two photos, not to sincerely apologize to her daughter and to the Knight family, so she hadn''t looked good since Arthur had entered.


    "Ka, Robert, hello, long time no see." Arthur handed the gifts he had just gone shopping for to the servants beside him and greeted them politely.


    "Hmm," Ka sat on the couch and didn''t get up, just giving Arthur a sidelong nce and sneering, "Change the addresses so soon?"


    Arthur already expected Ka will not be nice to him. ording to her understanding of the thing, her attitude was understandable, so he said in a low voice, "Ka, I guess you won''t feel happy if I call you mom again at this time. I came here to apologize to you for hiding the fact that I have a son with Lucia. But only to you, because Julia herself is clear about it. And secondly, to get back those two photos which Lucia and I fell in love before Julia. Those are my memories and have nothing to do with our present conflict, so please give them back to me."


    Arthur spoke politely, but Ka thought he was talking a lot of nonsense.


    "Do you know what are you talking about?" Ka, always the defender of her daughter, stood up and pointed at Arthur and said in a stern voice.


    "Yes, you and Lucia were in love first, but you broke up with Julia when you were together, right? And now you''re going to visit the kid with her. And you''re hiding it from Julia. Don''t forget who is your rightful fiancee!"


    Robert saw Ka getting agitated and rushed forward to calm her down, "Ka, don''t be angry yet. Let Arthur finish his speech."


    Arthur nodded gratefully at Robert and continued, "Ka, Teddy is me and Lucia''s child by an ident six years ago. It didn''t happen after we got engaged or agreed to go out with Julia, so he''s my child anyway, and as a father, I can''t turn a blind eye to him, much less leave him alone."


    Arthur made his attitude clear.


    "So you can leave Julia''s child alone now?" Seeing Arthur was defending that woman and the illegitimate child, Ka was furious, had long forgotten what Sophie had warned her about, and cursed. "Julia is really blind. We the Knight family is really blind. We thought she found someone she could trust for life, never thought you would be like this..."


    "Ka!" Seeing that his wife was about to curse in spite of her education, Robert hurriedly stopped her. Ka was frozen by him, and only after a long time did she react,ining to Robert with grievance. "Robert! Are you going to help him or our daughter?"


    Ka deliberately emphasized the word "our".
