Chapter 394
Chapter 394 Lied to Him
The birthday banquet in the hall was still lively, and the guests were toasting each other and drinking,
making it a peaceful scene.
In the crowd withughter, Paul, who was always calm and gentle, actually looked back and forth with a
slight frown and a somewhat anxious look.
When he saw a familiar figure, as his eyes darkened, he immediately strode over, "Pa."
Pa turned around at the sound of his voice with an affected look, saying in a rare quiet manner,
"Paul."
"Have you found Lucia?"
Lucia had gone to Jeanne, but he hadn''t wanted to intervene in affairs between women.He had given
her two calls in a row just now, but neither had been answered, which had made him even more
worried.
"I had found her, but she disappeared again."
With a gloomy face, Pa casually replied, picked up a ss of juice beside her, and found a seat to
sit.
Seeing this, Paul frowned even harder, and hurriedly continued to ask, "Pa, what''s the matter?"
''Ils there really something wrong?’ "Nothing, I just met someone I don''t want to meet."
Pa finished half a ss of juice in one gulp and continued before Paul could ask again, "Paul, stop
asking.I don''t want to talk about it."
Hearing this, Paul paused for a moment and said nothing more.He had to focus on looking for Lucia, so
he had no time for other things.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure came into sight.He fixed his eyes on it, and to his great joy, It was Lucia!
"Lucia, over here."
Hearing the voice, Lucia raised her eyes, saw Paul and Pa not far away, and stepped toward them
with a smile.
"Pa, you''re here too?"
Lucia reached out her hand to tap Pa on the shoulder, and suddenly froze the moment she saw her
expression.She hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What''s the matter?"
Pa''s heart had long been messed up by Burton, and now she couldn''t cheer up even in front of her
best friend.
She shook her head after a deep breath, "I''m fine, I just ran into a scumbag."
Stunned, Lucia quickly realized who the scumbag she was referring to was, took a deep breath, and
gently stroked her back tofort her.
Beside them, noticing the dress that Lucia had just changed into, Paul wanted to ask the question that
was on his mind but he didn''t.
Soon, the birthday banquet was over.
Lucia wanted to say goodbye to her grandmother before leaving, but there were too many guests, one
after another.
So she had to give up the idea and left with them.
On the way, the carriage was rarely quiet.
Paul sent Pa home first and then sent Lucia home to change clothes.
Lucia was a little worried by the thought of Pa''s state just now.
Obviously, Pa still had feelings for Burton, otherwise how would she have be like this? She
took a deep breath, and turned around to look at Paul, saying softly, "Paul, I don''t know whether you''ve
noticed that Pa still has feelings for Burton."
Paul replied absentmindedly, "Yeah."
"I think we should talk to Burton sometime and ask him if he still has feelings for Pa too ..."
Paul''s eyes darkened as he heard this.
There was no way he would ept Burton.
First of all, he had failed his sister before, and secondly, he worked for his rival in love.
He would not ept him for any one of the two reasons.
But he did not want to refute Lucia''s idea, so he slightly nodded in response, "When someday I''m free,
I will"
Lucia nodded on hearing this, and only then did she feel relieved.
Paul sent Lucia back to West Bridge and waited for her to change her clothes before he sent her to the
hospital to check on J.
Paul got out of the car and followed her directly to the bedroom on the second floor.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
Before entering the room, he nced at the CHENEL limited for this season the woman was wearing,
swallowed hard, and could not help but ask, "Lucia, didn''t you go out in a fishtail gown today? Why did
you change your clothes?"
Hearing this, Lucia lowered her eyes, took a nce at the clothes she was wearing, and with a hesitant
look, she casually excused herself, "...It was sshed with water at the time, so I changed into this
one."
If Paul knew that she had been bullied by two women, he would certainly get mad, not to mention that
she had met August today.
So instead of exining it vaguely, she decided not to tell him, letting sleeping dogs lie.
Hearing this, though his eyes darkened a little, Paul didn''t pursue the matter, watching the woman step
into the bedroom and close the door as he frowned involuntarily.He then fished his phone out and
tapped on a video to watch.
In the video, Lucia walked into a private box with August.
Judging by the angle, it had been recorded secretly with a cell phone.
The video quality was not very good, but good enough to tell that the people in the video were August
and Lucia.
This video had been sent to him by his underlings.
At the time he couldn''t have found Lucia in the hall, and Pa hadn''t returned, so he had gotten
worried, and had sent his men to look for her.
Unexpectedly, right after he had sent Lucia back, he had received this video from his men.He had
parked the car in the courtyard, having watched the video with his head nk.He then had collected
himself before having followed her into the house, and only then had he screwed up his courage to ask
her about the clothes.
And to his surprise, she hadn''t told him the truth.
Staring at the scene in the video, Paul felt heartbroken.
In the past five years, he had had a clear conscience, having done his best to treat Timothy, J, and
her nicely, but he had never expected her to lie to him about such a thing.
He dared not to imagine what had happened between August and her alone in the private box.
He clenched his fists as more and more discontent and resentment crowded in on him.
Although his face looked gentle as usual, he had struggled with his heart several times.
However, he didn''t want to leave.
For him, Lucia had long been deep in his heart and soul, so he could not leave her.
Ten minutester, Lucia went out as the door clicked open.
Seeing Paul standing outside with a serious look, she could not help but ask, "What''s wrong, Paul? You
don''t look well ..."
"I''m okay."
Paul raised the corners of his lips, holding back the difort in his heart and smiling at her, "Maybe
I''m just too tired.Let''s go to the suburbs to have fun for two days a few dayster, what do you say?"
A little worried by the man’s abnormal state, Lucia reached out her hand to feel his forehead
temperature with the back of the hand before she felt reassured.
The next second, as her hand was suddenly grabbed by him, Lucia looked up at his tender eyes.
"Is that okay? We haven''t gone out as a whole family for a long time."
Slightly stunned for a moment, Lucia then nodded at him, smiling, "Okay, as you wish this time."
She suddenly found that the man who had been in front of her for the past five years would also get
tired, so she decided to spend more time with him.
Several days passed, and J''s condition tended to stabilize, the wound on the back of her hand had
scabbed over, and she was still lively and mischievous as usual.
Only on hearing the doctor say she could be discharged from the hospital, did Lucia finally feel
relieved.
Paul was on a business trip and couldn''te back, so he asked Pa to go with a driver to pick up
J from the hospital.
Lucia was also busy with the discharge procedures without stopping for a moment.
J and Timothy stayed in the ward in thepany of Pa, having been ying several rounds of
Rubik''s cube, and neither of them was willing to give in.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, followed by a tall figure showing up in the doorway.
