Charming Mommy Of Adorable Triplets Chapter 1278
Lucy ignored ine.
When she was done cooking dinner, ine seized the moment and quickly
ran next door and knocked on the door.
It took a long time before Hector finally opened the door. He seemed to have juste out of the show
er as he smelled of very fresh soap. He had casually put on a loose lounge T–
shirt and pants beforeing out to answer the door. “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It‘s fine. Do you live alone?” ine peeked into the house upon saying that.
Sure enough, it looked like he lived alone! The living room was spacious and clean. There
were no women‘s shoes on the shoe rack.
“Uh…” Hector hesitated. “About dinner, I think=”
ine didn‘t give him a chance to refuse and quickly
dragged him out: “I asked my sister to make an extra portion for dinner tonight. It will be a waste if you
don‘te to join us.“.

Thus, Hector was forcefuily brought next door.

When Lucy heard themotion outside the door, she looked up and met Hector‘s gaze. She almost l
ost her grip on her fork.

ine did not notice Lucy‘s shock. She smiled and introduced her sister to Hector. “This is my sister, L
ucy.”
Hector looked at Lucy. “You live here?”
“Uh… Yeah.” Lucy nodded, startled.
ine looked at
them and realized something was amiss. Surprised, she asked, “You know each other?”
.
The three of them sat at the dining table. Only then did ine find out Lucy and Hector were colleague
s three years ago. What a small world! To have
been colleagues three years ago and end up as neighbors three yearster
after not keeping in contact with one another. That was fate!
There was an awkward silence in the room. Lucy nibbled her fork and broke the silence. “When did you
get back?”
ine looked at him.
Hector smiled and said, “This week.”
Lucy asked again, “Does Ms. Vanderbilt know?”
He grunted. “I haven‘t told her,”
With that, Lucy didn‘t ask any more questions.
ine kicked her foot under the table, causing Lucy to frown and look in her direction.
ine shot her a look that said: “Is that all we‘re talking about?”
Lucy shifted her foot away: Although she and Hector were once colleagues, that was three years ago.
Moreover, they had not contacted each other for three years. How could she have the nerve to pry into
any more of his life‘s details than that? Did ine want her to ask
about his bank ount details as well!?
They proceeded to eat in silence. When Lucy reached out to fork
a pork rib from the sharing tter, Hector just so happened to have targeted the same rib. The
two of them paused midway and looked up at each other. Then, they both pulled back their forks and s
aid in unison, “You first.”
As an unwilling participant in such an awkward situation, ine simply butted in and took away the
pork rib. “If you guys won‘t eat it, I will.”
Suddenly, Lucy‘s cell phone rang. She checked the caller ID, but before she could answer, ine snatch
from her and saw it was her mother, “I‘ll answer it,”
“Hey, you–”
Before Lucy could finish, ine walked to the balcony to answer the call.
Hector looked up at her. “You‘re still working at my cousin‘spany, right?”
Lucy looked away and scratched her cheek with a smile. “Ah, right. I‘m still
working there.” Then she added, “The benefits Ms. Vanderbilt gives are quite good. The main thing is tha
“That’s right.” Hector lowered his eyes and did not deny it. “There‘s no
doubt about that. She‘s really good.”
“Ms. Vanderbilt will be very happy to know you‘re back” Lucy said as she ced the pork ribs on her

Heughed out loud. “Let‘s hope so.”
After dinner, Hector returned to his apartment. As Lucy cleared the table,

ine walked over with a ss of water and leaned close to her. You like him?”
Lucy paused and looked up. “Who said that?
You don‘t like him? That‘s a pity. I‘m sure many girls like a handsome man like him.” ine slowly drank
