Chapter 252


    Miranda was chit–chatting with Leah and Christopher in the living room.


    Leah handed her a high–quality ruby bracelet, saying, “I came across this the other day. The color is


    really nice.”


    Miranda took it without showing much excitement, after all, she didn’tck such bracelets, but she


    epted graciously, “Hmm, it is quite nice. Mrs. nagan, I didn’t bring any gifts this time, but instead,


    I received something from you.”


    Leahughed and replied, “As long as you like it, Miranda. I thought this bracelet would suit you the


    moment I saw it.”


    Miranda smiled. Although the bracelet was not very expensive, it was a thoughtful gesture from Leah.


    Lucian went out to the small balcony and lit a cigarette.


    He pushed open the window, looking at the locked door of the small house opposite, seemingly


    deserted. There was only a bare cherry tree there, which made him frown slightly.


    At that time, the maid Linda was cleaning the corridor.


    She stepped onto the balcony, startled to see Lucian there, and quickly apologized, “Sorry, Mr.


    Lindberg, I didn’t know you were here.”


    “Where’s the person who used to live here?”


    “Mr. Lindberg, are you talking about Allison?” Linda replied, “She moved out a week ago.”


    “She moved?” Lucian frowned even more, “Where did she move to?” Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “I’m not sure about that.”


    Lucian left the balcony, and minutester, Linda was still standing there, head down.


    She was frightened by Lucian’s serious expression. She suddenly remembered some things between


    Lucian and Allison, wondering if Mr. Lindberg had anything to do with Allison. So she took out her


    phone and sent a message to Allison.


    “Allison, where have you moved to?”


    ——


    Penelope was very pleased to know that Lucian and Miranda wereing.


    In her bedroom, she changed from one dress to another, unsatisfied with all mAll these dresses were


    new and boughtst month, but some of them didn’t fit around her waist now.


    Outside the door, Margo rushed her, “Mrs. nagan is asking you to hurry up.”


    She put on a light pink long dress and went downstairs, “Miranda”


    As Penelope approached, Miranda looked at her, “Hey, why are you wearing high heels, you’re


    pregnant! You must be careful.”


    Penelope suddenly remembered that this pink dress of hers looked best with high heels.


    Leah nced at her and reproached her for being thoughtless, Penelope quickly said, “Oh, I’ll go


    change right away.”


    Miranda looked around, “Where’s Lucian?”


    Linda answered, “I just saw Mr. Lindberg on the balcony.”


    A whileter, Lucian came over, “Mom.”


    Penelope was justing downstairs and saw Lucian.


    He looked up at her. She was wearing a new outfit, a beige and brown id long dress. Her hair was


    loose at the back, and she had a subtle makeup on her face. He looked at her, somewhat captivated.


    Penelope’s appearance reminded him of Allison.


    After dinner at the nagan’s, Miranda and Leah were chatting in the living room. Miranda specifically


    asked Lucian to take Penelope for a walk.


    Outside the nagan’s mansion.


    Lucian’s pace was not fast, but Penelope had to take two steps to keep up. Along the way, Lucian


    didn’t speak, Penelope tried to start a few topics, but none continued.


    Lucian’s coldness made her a bit uneasy. Did he know something?


    Did Allison tell him something when she left?


    On the way, Penelope’s thoughts grew more and more. “Lucian, have you been upset with metely?”


    His voice was gentle, but without any emotion, “No, don’t overthink.”
