Chapter 80 – Wanting a second child
“He is already free to move around, Eduard, thank you for your care during this time, I took more time off than I did at work, I guess it caused a lot of talk.” Lucia knew that the more privileges he got in the same company, the more hostility he attracted, and Eduard must have helped him to suppress a lot of non-sense.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s okay, they say theirs,” Eduard did not deliberately conceal it, but only reassured: “Your ability is the basis for deciding whether you can take a free vacation or not, don’t thank me, thank yourself for why you are so capable.”
Eduard’s words did go some way to relieving Lucia’s guilt, and the playful way they were spoken made her laugh out loud.
They talked for a while before hanging up. Lucia turned around and saw Arthur staring straight at her, so she asked him with a smile, “What are you looking at me for?”
“Eduard ah …,” Arthur read as he stared at Lucia.
Lucia said to him with a twinkle in her eye, “Why, isn’t that what friends call each other by their first names? He has helped me so much, should I still call him Mr. Burton?”
When he turned his head away and didn’t say anything, Lucia smiled sweetly and went to the sofa and sat next to Arthur. She touched him with her arm and asked, “Are you jealous?”
Arthur didn’t answer by turning his face away.
“Shall I give you some sugar to even it out?” Lucia stood up and said, “I’ll go to the kitchen and bring you the whole jar of sugar.”
But Lucia just stood up and was pulled back by Arthur’s arm, falling violently into Arthur’s warm arms, Lucia panicked:
“You’re hurt, be careful with your injuries.” While saying that, she tried to arch up, but this time she was held in a death grip by Arthur.
“I’ve been better, Lucia,” Arthur said, burying his head in Lucia’s hair, uttering words as if they meant something more than just dimensions.
Lucia’s face immediately burned as soon as she heard this, Arthur seemed to be hinting at what he was …
Arthur saw Lucia finally stop struggling, so he gently stroked her waist with his palm, deliberately lowering his voice as magnetic as a siren’s seductive voice:
“It’s time to think about the second child …”
Lucia a face has long risen into a bright red, even a pair of starry eyes, are slightly flushed with red.
Not good enough?
Arthur smiled in relief, just now he actually just want to tease Lucia, of course, if the fake play becomes real that would be the best, but more importantly, he did not want to force her.
“Okay, okay, no more teasing.” Arthur let go of Lucia with alacrity, deliberately speaking in a relaxed tone.
Lucia froze for a moment turned his head to look at Arthur, found him with a gentle smile on his face, heart relieved, but also slightly lost …
In fact … if he pushes himself again, it’s not impossible …
The next day, Arthur and Lucia both returned to their daily lives, not appearing in the public eye for a long time, they were subject to the same attention in their respective areas, but both were not concerned about him
People who look at people, not much care to put into the work.
As soon as Lucia got back to the office, she immediately talked to Nia about the details of her recent work. Jibillion Inc was recently working on a project and it was a critical moment.
Nia was furious when she found out, but Lucia didn’t care and asked Nia to remove herself from the list of project leaders, as she was doing everything for the company’s development, not for her own credit.
This time, even those villains have nothing to say.
Eduard knew about this and talked to Lucia, hoping she would withdraw this wish, after all, she had been on leave for a long time, and her merits at this time could just prove her ability and strength.
“Eduard, thank you for looking out for me, I don’t really care what people say, besides, you’re my boss, wouldn’t it be nice if you knew what I’ve done?” Lucia said with a smirk and some flirtation in her tone.
Lucia’s open-mindedness made Eduard feel appreciated and nodded, “That’s true, no one says anything behind anyone’s back, as long as you have a clear conscience.”
Lucia responded with a laugh.
During this period of time, Jacob and Poppy both stopped mentioning Lucia’s affair, the two seemed peaceful on the surface, but each had their own plans in mind, especially Poppy, who recently got a great opportunity, and surprisingly from Kane.
Kane was ordered by the company to Kenya half a month ago to handle a death benefit.
In September of this year, an accidental death occurred in the Archaeological team, and Kane’s law firm took on the case.
Kane was a top lawyer in the firm and was appointed to Kenya to handle the case. Once Kane arrived there, he learned what happened and then interviewed the witnesses of the incident one by one to collect further evidence, at which time he met a special person.
Kane needed to know what happened, and among the many males, a sweet-looking woman with a cheerful smile caught his attention.
That person, Juliana, Arthur’s childhood friend, was involved in this archaeological work.
Juliana is currently working at the University of Kansas, doing archaeological work, and has been involved in excavations in Kenya for three years. She asked him if he knew him.
Kane was amazed, he didn’t expect to meet Arthur’s friend abroad, and listened to her description, she has a great relationship with Arthur, Kane said he didn’t know Arthur, just heard of his great name, and told Poppy the news that night.
Poppy is naturally delighted to hear this news and immediately wants to do something about Juliana, so she asks Kane to get close to her deliberately, the best to win her favor and facilitate future actions.
He himself is a modest gentleman, not only elegant, also quite gentlemanly, such a person is the most defenseless, not to mention that half a month later he won the lawsuit for the dead archaeologist, Kenya side is willing to pay compensation, resulting in his image in the hearts of the Archaeological team greatly increased, simply a hero.
Juliana, with a strong sense of justice, also took the opportunity to thank Kane for taking the blame for the team.
Kane humbly accepted her thanks, and then revealed between words that he was about to return, after he had already learned from other people that Juliana’s work here had actually finished a long time ago, and now she was just organizing the information. Kane knew that she wanted to go back to see Arthur, so he took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to go back to China together.
Kane’s suggestion made Juliana’s heart sing. She was ready to take a break now that her work was over, and the college had given her a long vacation as a reward, so Kane’s offer to go to Athegate was a perfect fit.
