L pursed her lips. It was her habit of hesitating, and she couldn''t get it out. She thought for a moment and said,


    "If Lucia left you for her son''s safety, even with another man, as you suspected, wouldn''t you mind?"


    "I have only guilt for her that I made her to bear the pain alone," Arthur whispered, lowering his eyes.


    "She is loved by you like this. She is really very happy..." L words took the envy, unconsciously murmuring.


    Arthur nced sideways at L. His lips moved, but he didn''t say anything.


    L lowered her eyes in disappointment. She wished Arthur had said something.


    "What if... Lucia wasn''t lying? What if she was cheating on you?" L suggested another possibility.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Arthur was silent for a moment. His voice was as soft as sand in the sound of the waves. "Bless her," he said


    "The coldest man is the most affectionate when he is moved. Arthur, I hope your love is not misspent." L smiled and said softly.


    "So please," said Arthur.


    "Don''t put such a heavy responsibility on me. I don''t deserve it." She didn''t know if the atmosphere was too heavy just now that L said half-jokingly.


    "As a criminal psychologist for FBI, your skills are undeniable," said Arthur.


    That was right. L was a well-connected criminal psychologist, the daughter of an entire generation of FBI agents. She specialized in judging the behavior of suspects by their psychology and bodynguage. This time Arthur reached out to her to confirm that the man who gave Theodore the bone marrow was indeed the donor.


    "I''ll try," L replied with a smile.


    "It''ste. Go home," Arthur said, stopping. L looked at him and nodded slowly.


    She wished they could go on like this.


    Early the next morning, Spencer woke up feeling uneasy, afraid that Lucia would run away again.


    After a quick shower, Spencer asked about Lucia as soon as he left the room. The bodyguard replied cautiously,


    "So far we haven''t seen the youngdye out of the room. She should be inside now."


    "Should?" Spencer asked, raising an eyebrow.


    The bodyguard''s heart skipped a beat and he immediately lowered his head. Spencer red at him and knocked on the door.


    For the third time, if Lucia turned her back on him, Spencer will have to take a tougher line.


    Bang, Bang, Bang. Three knockster, Lucia opened the door.


    Seeing Lucia, Spencer breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and asked her, "Lucia, did you sleep wellst night?"


    Lucia chuckled and said, "How could I not sleep well with so many people ''protecting'' me?"


    Spencer''s brows twitched. He chose to ignore the sarcasm in Lucia''s words and said, "Since you slept well, let''s go out for a walk today. You can change first. We''ll have breakfast." "No." Lucia''s voice was almost at the end of Spencer''s words.


    Spencer frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"


    "I''ve seen all the sights in the neighborhood in the past two days, so I want to have a good rest today and have breakfast delivered to my room," Lucia said without hesitation. "Are you joking with me?" Spencer said coldly. He finally caught her today but she said she wanted to rest?!


    "Do I look like I''m Joking?" Spencer looked threatening, but Lucia''s bright eyes were more proud.


    Having been angered by Lucia for three days, Spencer today decided that he would neverpromise again. He pressed his hand against the door and said,


    "I don''t care if you''re joking or not. You have to go out with me today. Otherwise, I''m nning the engagement trip. Can''t I juste alone?!"


    "It started as a one-man show. I''m just an audience, Spencer. Will you stop obsessing? It''s exhausting," Lucia said impatiently.


    "No!" Spencer said through clenched teeth. "I want you to fall in love with me!"


    The only time he''d ever had a real rtionship with a woman since birth. Even Spencer, who can see it as a means to an advantage, would have wanted something in return, but Lucia''s next response shattered that desire.


    "No way," said Lucia, without hesitation. "I wouldn''t fall in love with you even if I would feed my heart to a dog!"


    Spencer''s heart skipped a beat, and he was again caught off-guard by Lucia''s endless revulsion.


    "There are no silly girls in this world. No one will be taken advantage of. No one will fall in love with the perpetrator after being coerced. Not to mention me, Spencer. You and I are destined to be enemies for life. It can not be changed. If you don''t believe me, you can bet your whole life on my. There''s no end of loathing and hatred towards you! I guarantee you''ll lose everything!"


    Disgusted by Spencer''s expression as if hurt by herself, Lucia told him about her feelings for him without mercy. "Since we''re both using each other, let''s be clear about each other''s positions. Don''t do such fearless things again. It makes me feel disgusted, okay?!"


    With that, Lucia raised her hand and knocked Spencer''s arm off the door. Before he could react, she mmed the door shut, as if she would never open her heart to him.


    Spencer stood gloomily in front of the closed door, while the bodyguards, who had heard their conversation clearly, looked at each other silently.


    "What are you waiting for! Didn''t you see the youngdy say she wants to have breakfast in her room? Why don''t you go down and prepare?!" Spencer again directed his anger at the bodyguards.


    At this point, none of the bodyguardsined, because even they felt sorry for Spencer, of course, without knowing it. If they knew the real rtionship between them, it was afraid no one will ever think Spencer had a crush on Lucia.


    "Master," one of the bodyguards who had been with Erik for a long time could not help but speak up. "You have such deep feelings for the youngdy. Isn''t she too unreasonable?"


    Spencer was worried that no one wouldin, so he didn''t me the bodyguard for overstepping his boundaries. He sighed affectionately and said, "No matter how much I love her, what good is it if I can''t impress her?"


    When the bodyguard saw Spencer talking to him, he wanted to express himself, so his eyes shed and he bowed his head deferentially and said, "Why don''t you use some special methods?"


    "What do you mean?" Spencer looked at the talking bodyguard with interest.


    The bodyguard looked up and smiled. He whispered something into Spencer''s ear. Spencer raised his eyebrows in surprise and teased him,


    "You''re very thoughtful."
