Chapter 141 Can I Stay?
Arthur’s words tugged at Lucia’s heartstrings. His mention of Theodore made her give in finally.
“Me too.” Lucia tilted her head and whispered.
“What?” Arthur asked, staring at Lucia’s side face.
“Silly.” Lucia stared at Arthur with affection, and then she quickly looked away.
Arthur was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly flashed, because he saw Lucia’s red ears!
“Lucia…” Without any hesitation, Arthur held Lucia’s hand. They hadn’t been intimate with each other for a long time.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
For two people who loved each other deeply, a single look or movement could speak for themselves.
As soon as Theodore turned around, he saw his parents holding hands, so he ran toward them and shouted, “I wanna hold hands with you!”
Then he squeezed himself between Arthur and Lucia, and held their hands in each hand. Arthur and Lucia smiled at each other with a tacit understanding.
As night fell, the lights in Disneyland lit up gradually.
Theodore felt sorry for her mother who was really tired and didn’t ask her to stay for evening activities. Then the family of three went back together.
When the three returned to Jardín de Nieve, the lights in the city were on. Theodore had fallen asleep on the way, with his head on Lucia’s laps.
In a relaxed state of mind, Lucia closed her eyes and seemed to drift to sleep.
After parking the car, Arthur turned around and saw them sleeping and snuggling up to each other. His heart softened and he was unwilling to wake them up.
Arthur had no choice but to get out of the car quietly. He opened the back door and carefully held Theodore in his arms. Then Lucia opened her eyes. Albeit asleep, she was still cautious and protective of Theodore.
“Are we home?” Lucia, who had just woken up, was a bit confused. She was in a pleasant languor with moist eyes.
Arthur felt Lucia lovely. Without his son in his arms, he would have held her tightly, but now he could only answer honestly, “Yes, we are home.”
Lucia rubbed her eyes to sober up. After getting out of the car, she took a look at Theodore with love in her eyes. “Teddy is sleeping soundly.”
“He must have run out of his energy after playing for a whole day,” Arthur replied with a smile, staring at Lucia.
He really wanted to engrave her on his mind.
When they got home, Lucia didn’t turn on the lights in the hallway. Instead, she turned on a night light, signaling Arthur to take Theodore into his room.
Theodore had fallen asleep, and nothing could wake him up.
After settling down Theodore, Lucia and Arthur went back to the living room.
After turning on the light, Lucia stretched lazily. She was really tired after a whole day.
Lucia stretched herself and didn’t notice that Arthur behind her was staring at her. When she turned around, she met Arthur’s eyes and read his thoughts instantly.
Lucia was stunned and the heat glowed on her face.
They had made out many times, so she knew what his gaze implied.
“Lucia…” Arthur didn’t try to hide anything.
“Can I stay tonight?”
Lucia frowned. They did patch things up today, but he was so cheeky now, wasn’t he?
But Lucia couldn’t say no to him, as she missed him very much.
Smart as Arthur was, he knew her silence was consent. He was happy and thought it was a good chance.
This night, Arthur poured out his longing for Lucia, while Juliana tossed and turned in the villa of Fragranerde Hall.
She had expected that Arthur would not come back tonight, but she was worried about another thing.
It had been more than a month since that incident happened. Logically, her period should have come. Juliana had not noticed it because she had been carrying out the plan recently. Now she took heed of it and felt a chill.
No way…
Juliana tossed and turned in bed. She convinced herself that it couldn’t happen, but the cruel reality upset her. Her period had been delayed for six days. Could it be that she got pregnant?
No!
On the early morning of the next day, Athegate was shrouded in thick fog, and no sunlight could cut through it. But it didn’t affect Arthur at all. When he opened his eyes, he felt the whole world was lit up, because Lucia was sleeping beside him.
Lucia, who was sleeping soundly, curled up like a kitten. Her even breath, peaceful sleeping look, and slightly upturned red lips indicated that she had a sweet dream.
Arthur bent over and pulled Lucia out of her dream.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Arthur’s handsome face, which was inches away.
For a moment, Lucia was dazed.
Was… Was she still in her dream?
Noticing the confusion in Lucia’s eyes, Arthur pinched her cheek and asked, “Still sleepy?”
“Arthur?” Touching her face, Lucia came to her senses. It was not a dream.
“It’s me. Are you up?” Arthur really loved seeing her drowsy look.
