Chapter 218Chapter 218 She Wanted To Fall in Love
When Lucia heard this, she opened her mouth in embarrassment, but couldn't answer.
At this moment, Paul's gentle chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "Are you also in a bad
mood?"
"Sort of..."
Lucia paused and realized something, "Paula is not in a good mood?"
She didn't know what was going on between her and Burton.
Paul raised his eyes when he heard a sound, glanced at Paula who was walking towards him and said,
"Indeed, she has a cold face and doesn't talk to me."
"Oh, she's here.I'll give her the phone."
He raised his hand and handed the phone to Paula.
Paula frowned and was about to ask why her brother was answering her phone call when she saw the
caller ID and found it was Lucia.
She immediately took it over and said, "Lucia?"
"Paula, come out to chat tonight?"
"Okay, I was about to ask you out.I didn't expect you to call me first."
After a few words, the two reached a preliminary consensus.After hanging up the phone, Paula looked up at Paul, and her face turned cold again, "I'm going out
with Lucia tonight.So I won't go back with you."
Paul raised his eyebrows slightly, took a sip of red wine, and said, "Which bar are you going to? I'll take
you there."
Paula was stunned for a moment, and then quickly denied, "What bar?! Who said we're going to a
bar?"
Paul smiled, as if he had expected her to react like this, and said slowly, "I know you're in a bad
mood.Forget it this time.I'll take you there.When the chat between you girls is over, I'll go pick you up."
He knew his sister's character too well.
She had been wild outside the country.
Now that she had returned from abroad, he thought he should put her under control. This time, since it
was Lucia who brought it up, he would allow her once.
Paula's eyes widened in disbelief, "Paul, are you being possessed? You're allowing me to go to a bar!"
Paul said in a firm tone, "Just this time, no next time."
Hearing this, Paula rolled her eyes at him and stopped talking.
Her brother hadn't changed at all! When it got dark outside, Lucia finished her dinner, changed her
clothes, and was ready to go out.
Although she said she wanted to go for a drink, she didn't plan to go to any sultry place.
She just wanted to go to Andy's bar for a drink or two and chat with Paula.As soon as she arrived at the place, she greeted the bartender at the counter.
She looked around and asked, "Is Paula here?"
The last time she and Paula came, they were already familiar with the bartender.
Besides, they were friends of Andy, so the bartender naturally remembered them.
"Not yet."
The young bartender looked cool and bright.
He grinned at her and said sweetly, "Girl, what do you want to drink this time?"
When Lucia heard this, she felt amused and said, "Surprise me."
"Okay!"
The bartender moved neatly, turned around and took a few wine bottles from the wine rack, and got
busy.
Lucia was attracted by his actions when a familiar voice came from behind, "Lucia!"
As soon as she turned around, she saw Paula in a pretty dress walking over quickly and waving at her.
"I'm late.Paul took me here.He kept talking and I was so annoyed."
She waved her hand, looked at the bartender, and snapped her fingers at him, "Give me a stronger
drink this time."
With that, she put down her bag and sat down beside Lucia.novelbinLucia looked at her in surprise, "Strong wine? Paula, I'm going to have a drink today.If you get drunk, I
really won't care about you."
It was not that she hadn't seen what Paula looked like when she got drunk.
Thinking about it now, she had a deep memory and lingering fears.
When Paula heard her words, her face suddenly darkened and she looked at her with a bit of sadness,
"Lucia, I'm in a bad mood..."
Lucia's eyes lit up.
Thinking of Burton who she had seen in the hospital this morning, she asked in a soft voice, "Could it
be...Burton?"
When Lucia mentioned his name, Paula's eyes lit up, but her face turned cold instantly.
She looked away as if she didn't want to talk about him, "It's not him."
Seeing her duplicity, Lucia already knew the answer in her heart.She smiled and didn't ask any further
questions.
There were almost no secrets between her and Paula.
Now that Paula didn't want to talk about it, she wouldn't ask anymore.
Soon, the drinks were ready.
Paula took a few sips from the glass and turned to look at the foreign band singing on the stage over
there.
"Lucia, what do you think of that handsome foreign guy?"Lucia raised her eyes and followed Paula's slightly raised chin.
Seeing the blond man, she couldn't help but smile and ask, "Do you like his type?"
Paula took a sip of wine, took a deep breath, and said unhappily, "I feel like I want to fall in love..."
When she said this, a man's face appeared in her mind, lingering.
Sitting next to her, Lucia somehow agreed.She hasn't been in a relationship for a long time.
Since graduating from college, she had met very few suitable men.
Later, after having such a relationship with August, she had no time and no chance to date any man.
Now she had signed the contract.
In the following year, according to the regulations, she couldn't have anything to do with any man but
August.
Did he think she was a nun without any emotional needs?! After drinking a glass of wine, Lucia felt
warm in her stomach and her courage grew a bit.She encouraged Paula next to her, "If you like him, go
ask for his contact information."
Paula looked at the handsome foreign guy on the stage and laughed dryly, without any emotional
fluctuations in her heart.
She just said it casually.
Looking at the man on the stage, she was thinking of someone else.
She shook her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Lucia somehow thought of the scene of her conversation with Jeanne in the morning.
She turned to look at Paula next to her, and said softly, "Paula, I saw Jeanne this morning."
Paula was shocked and turned around, "What? Isn't she August's first love?"
Since she knew that the purpose of August and Lucia getting the marriage certificate was to find a
kidney source for Jeanne, she gave them nicknames.
August was a "scumbag" and Jeanne was "first love".
Lucia was a little drunk.She nodded and told Paula what Jeanne had said to her.She put her arms on
the cold marble countertop and said softly, "No wonder she is August's most cherished woman.I didn't
know the reason until today."
Paula snorted, "What nonsense! I think that Jeanne is not a good person! When she said this, she
made it clear that she was showing off her status besides August! Also, why did she show you her
scar? Did she mean that she had done so much for August and you couldn't compare to her so that
you should give up?!"
Paula's tone was straightforward, but her words made sense.
Lucia knew that this was indeed what Jeanne wanted to say to her, but it was undoubtedly the truth.
Paula touched her shoulder and said, "Lucia, I don't think this woman is simple at all! You'd better be
careful!"
Lucia chuckled and remained silent.She wasn't going to get involved with August anymore.
Although there was a contract, she would stay away from him as much as possible.
