Chapter 387Chapter 387 Feeling Threatened It was Lucia! Overwhelmed by jealousy and anger, Jeanne gritted her
teeth and stared at Lucia! She had gotten up at 5:00 a.m.
and dressed up to be the highlight of the party, but she hadn't expected Lucia to show up! Jeanne felt
threatened and subconsciously tightened her grip on August's arm.
August felt it and turned his head slightly to look at Jeanne.
Following her eyes, he saw Lucia and Paul walking up the steps together.
Lucia was wearing a light green cheongsam.
With each step, her fair and long legs were revealed.
In an instant, August frowned and looked her up and down.
novelbinSuddenly, he felt a rush.
‘She's here anyway.
What an ungrateful woman! He was angry and stared at Lucia's and Paul's held hands with a gloomy
face.
"Mr.Adams?"
the man who was talking to August called him awkwardly several times before August came to his
senses.
August glanced at him and said indifferently, "You go first."
The man nodded awkwardly and walked into the hall with his female companion.At that moment, Lucia and Paul had come up.
They looked up and met the eyes of August and Jeanne who were standing there.
It was a little awkward.
Paul said politely, "Mr.Adams, we're here for Old Mrs.Adams."
August glanced at Lucia and replied indifferently, "Please come in."
Lucia remained silent.
She was just about to go in with Paul when Jeanne asked, "Ms.
Mitchell, your cheongsam is so pretty.
May I ask where you ordered it?"
Lucia stopped, looked back at her, and said with a smile, "It was made by Jennifer.
If you're interested, you can visit her again like you did last time."
Jeanne knew that Lucia was being sarcastic.
Instantly, her face darkened and the smile froze on her face.
Lucia was pleased with Jeanne’s reaction.
She had asked Jennifer to make two cheongsams for her the day she tried on the dresses.
She had even promised to take more pictures, but she thought it was worth it as long as Jeanne was
angry."Ms.
Kelly, if you're interested, you can go and ask Jennifer someday,"
Lucia said, nodding at Jeanne with a smile.
Then she took Paul's arm and went into the hall.
Jeanne was furious, but August was next to her and she had to hold herself back.
In the hall, Lucia attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
The cheongsam fit her figure perfectly and matched the decor of the hall well.
She stood out from the crowd of women in dresses.
Lucia, naturally, sensed that everyone was looking at her.
She just looked around and noticed that there were a lot of people in the middle of the hall.
She turned to Paul and said, "Paul, shall we go see Grandma first?"
Paul gave her a loving smile.
"Sure."
Then he led Lucia toward the middle of the hall.
Old Mrs.Adams was surrounded by people who came to compliment her.
Eliot and Christina stood next to her with loving smiles on their faces.
"Thank you all!"Old Mrs.Adams nodded to the crowd with a smile.
Lucia was inexplicably sad when she saw Old Mrs.Adams.
Old Mrs.Adams hadn't changed much, but she looked older than she had five years ago.
Lucia recalled the things she had done with Old Mrs.Adams five years ago as she walked forward.
Just then, Old Mrs.Adams looked up and froze when she saw Lucia.
Stunned, she asked in a voice throbbing with emotion, "Lucia, is that you?"
Obviously, she was very excited.
Everyone turned to look at Lucia.
Lucia got choked up and quickly walked up to her.
"Grandma!"
Old Mrs.Adams had always treated Lucia like her own granddaughter and protected her five years ago.
Old Mrs.Adams' eyes lit up with surprise.
"Lucia, it's really you! Come here!"
Lucia immediately stepped forward and took her hand in hers.
Old Mrs.Adams looked her up and down with mixed feelings.
"We...
We haven't seen each other in years, right? Where have you been? I've missed you..."Lucia felt a little guilty.
"Sorry, Grandma, I went abroad.
It was so sudden and I didn't have time to tell you..."
"It's okay.
You're back now! You got even prettier.
I almost didn't recognize you!"
Old Mrs.Adams fixed her eyes on Lucia and ignored everyone else.
Lucia listened with a smile and finally changed the subject.
"Happy birthday, grandma.
This is for you.
Open it and see."
She took a delicate gift box from Paul's hand and handed it to Old Mrs.Adams.
Old Mrs.Adams nodded with a smile, took the box, and opened it straight away.
Inside the box was a green handmade cheongsam.
It was high-class and exquisite at first glance.
Old Mrs.Adams stroked it slowly, her eyes shining.Lucia could tell that she liked it very much.
Five years ago, she had happened to learn that Old Mrs.Adams liked cheongsams when they were
talking.
Now she finally had the chance to give her one.
It was the best birthday present.
"1...
[like it very much!"
Old Mrs.Adams nodded with tears in her eyes.
She held Lucia's hand tightly and whispered, "Lucia, you know me."
Lucia felt warm and replied with a smile, "I'm glad you like it."
They talked for a little longer and then Lucia walked away.
There were so many people waiting to talk to Old Mrs.Adams, and Lucia couldn't stand there forever.
She turned to look for Paul but noticed a pair of dark eyes.
A man in a wheelchair approached her with a gentle smile, but the smile didn't touch his eyes.
Bishop came up to Lucia and said with a soft smile, "Lucia, it's been a long time."
