Chapter 411Chapter 411 She Didn't Have to Worry about Him
August walked from Starlight House to his car.
The car door slammed shut and he ordered the driver to drive as soon as he got in.
Lucia was covered in sweat.She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the car slowly drove away.
After a while, she turned to look carefully at August, who was pursing his lips with a gloomy face.It
seemed that he was thinking about something.
Lucia couldn't help but ask in a whisper, "What's wrong?"
novelbinAugust frowned slightly, turned to look at her, and said flatly, "Nothing."
Lucia was even more confused.
The jade and the card had actually worried August, who had always been calm.
What did they represent? Lucia took a deep breath and asked seriously, "Really?"
August blinked and said flatly, "Yeah.The jade just reminded me of an old friend.I'll look into it."
He looked down at his watch and said, "It's getting late.I'll take you home."
Lucia was still puzzled, but she bit back the words.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at West Bridge.
Lucia got out and glanced at August before closing the door.
August didn't turn to look at her.He looked so serious that she couldn't read his mind.
Watching the car turn around and drive away, Lucia stood in place worriedly.
After a few seconds, she suddenly realized that she was worried about August.she shook her head and
gave a helpless smile.She didn't have to worry about him.She should worry about herself right now.She
had to get the public service announcement done, get that video, and leave Austos City as soon as
possible.
As for August, there were plenty of people willing to share his worries.
Lucia sneered and turned to walk into West Bridge.It was silent.
There was only one small light on in the living room.
It seemed that Bill and Elisa had gone to bed and Timothy and Janet were also asleep.
Lucia walked gingerly to the children's room, slowly pushed open the door, and looked inside.
Timothy and Janet were sleeping in two cribs side by side.
Timothy moved when the door opened.
Lucia hesitated for a moment and walked up to his crib.
As expected, Timothy poked his head out from the blanket, looked at her with big watery eyes, and
whispered, "Mom..."
Lucia leaned over and asked in a whisper, "Why are you still awake?"
"I'm waiting for you."Timothy reached out his chubby little hand, took Lucia's hand, and asked in a soft voice, "Will you go
swimming with us tomorrow? There's an event at the swimming pool and all the kids will have mom
and dad with them."
Lucia hadn't expected Timothy to wait for her for this matter.She felt guilty and sorry for the
children.She leaned over, kissed Timothy gently on the forehead, and whispered, "Yes, I'll call your dad
in the morning and take you there."
Timothy was surprised.
"Really?"
Lucia felt warm and nodded at him.
"Of course.Good night."
Timothy nodded firmly, tucked himself in, and closed his eyes.
Lucia smiled and went quietly out of the room.
She knew very well that she should spend time with her children.She used to spend time with them no
matter what they did, but now they were in Austos City and she was busy with work.She was
uncomfortable when she didn't have time for them.She didn't want to miss such an important
occasion.She didn't want to let Timothy and Janet down.
Lucia woke up very early the next morning.
At 6:30, she called Paul directly and told him about the event.
Paul immediately agreed, skipped the morning meeting, and headed straight to West Bridge.
Lucia placed the breakfast on the table.Before she could go upstairs to wake up the children, she heard someone open the door.
Then Paul, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the doorway.
Paul walked through the foyer towards the dining room.
Seeing the hearty breakfast on the table, he couldn't help but smile.
"There you are."
Lucia wiped her hands and walked up to him with a smile.
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
Lucia was wearing an apron with her hair up.
Paul looked at her with a gentle look on his face and whispered, "Not yet."
Lucia naturally grabbed his wrist and pushed him toward the kitchen.
"Go wash your hands.I've prepared yours."
The next second, she felt her waist being held and a gentle kiss on her cheek.She froze at once.It was
so quiet.
Paul realized he was being impulsive and cleared his throat.
He was about to explain when he heard giggles from the stairs.
Lucia and Paul were both surprised and backed up quickly.They turned their heads at the same time and saw Timothy and Janet laughing on the stairs with their
hands over their mouths.
Obviously, they had seen it.
Lucia blushed in an instant.She walked away and tried to change the subject.
"Have you brushed your teeth and washed your face?"
The children nodded in unison, but they still giggled.
"Ahem!"
Paul saw Lucia's red face and couldn't help but smile.He cleared his throat and said with a straight face
on purpose like a father, "Stop laughing! Come with me to wash your hands and eat breakfast!"
Then he took the children into the kitchen.
Lucia's face felt very hot.She couldn't help but take a deep breath and drink water to calm herself.She
hadn't expected Paul to kiss her out of the blue.She hadn't expected it to be seen by the children either.
They were the closest people to her, but it was still a little awkward.
However, because of the episode, the house was full of laughter and it felt more like home.
Lucia's heart softened.She had always wanted a happy family.
It seemed that things were going great between her and Paul.
