Chapter 60 What is the medicine in the gourd
The question caused a flash of light under Arthur’s eyes, and he turned his head without answering.
Sophie responded, “We’ll figure it out!”
The news of Lucia and Arthur’s relationship breakup soon made it into Atgate’s gossip magazines, and the paparazzi who had previously given up chasing Arthur’s gossip chased him like a shot after he announced his romance, and, naturally, didn’t miss the sight of Lucia distancing herself from him.
The people of Athegate have not yet recovered from Arthur’s romance announcement, and then they heard the news of their relationship breakup, so you can imagine how the public opinion will be buzzing.
As the news of Lucia and Arthur’s love affair continued to fester, Poppy saw the reports and her greatest joy was to see Lucia having a hard time, so she went to Jacob to vent her gloating when she first got the news:
“Jacob, look, don’t even need us to make a move Lucia started to have a falling out with Arthur, if the breakup continues to confirm, then Lucia will have one less person to rely on.”
When she said this, Poppy had an open and smug smile on her face.
In fact, long before Poppy got the news Jacob had already read the reports, his heart is also naturally gloating, but compared to Poppy’s simple malice, he is more than a relaxed.
Lucia is single again, right?
“Jacob, why don’t you say anything?” Noticing that Jacob had been thinking about something, Poppy stuck to him and asked.
Poppy leaned over Jacob frowned, but only for a moment, after talking with Lucia Jacob became more mindful of Poppy’s presence than before, smelling Poppy’s strong perfume, Jacob remembered the day from Lucia behind her when he smelled the faint fragrance.
“Jacob?” Seeing that Jacob remained silent, Poppy called out to him with some displeasure.
“Well, that’s one less person for her to lean on.” Jacob came back to his senses and responded indifferently.
“Why does it feel like you’re not very happy?” Poppy’s nerves are still very sensitive.
“You’re overthinking it,” Jacob continued, giving Poppy a sidelong glance, “I was just wondering if I could do something with this story.”
“Hmm? What kind of article can I do?” Poppy heard this can be energetic, and quickly straightened up to ask Jacob.
“Guess what public opinion would say if Lucia came out to meet with me alone at a time like this?” Jacob said with a sudden smile.
“I’m sure she’ll think she’s got her ex-husband again, and there’ll be a lot of people cursing her then,” Poppy replied without thinking, before glaring again and asking, “You’re meeting her alone?!”
Realizing the meaning of Jacob’s words, Poppy didn’t like it, and that was her bottom line.
Poppy has to admit that now Lucia is more attractive than before, when she was in college she was the school flower, now it is more mature and stable charm, when Jacob resisted her
Poppy is unsure and afraid to try, so she’s more jealous than anyone of Jacob’s attitude toward Lucia.
“What, no?” Poppy’s immediate display of jealousy caused Jacob to ask back with displeasure.
Poppy pursed her lips and stared at Jacob without saying a word.
Jacob sighed and explained with a rather bitter look:
“I’m not doing this to crack down on Lucia, am I? You also know that at this time, if the paparazzi caught her meeting with me in private, it would be a fatal blow to both her and Arthur, and even Eduard might doubt her character, and by then people who have changed their minds about her will definitely fall back on her and question her again, which will be beneficial to us in a hundred ways, don’t you know what’s at stake?”
Of course Poppy knows that Jacob is right, but she won’t!
“Well, can’t we find another guy to ask her out?” Poppy offers her opinion that it is to avoid Jacob and Lucia meeting alone.
“Another man?” Jacob raised an eyebrow and asked, “Who better than me? A strange man shows up, even if it’s reported that Lucia said a word about being a client, a friend, who’s going to question something?”
This time, Poppy can not find a retort words, but she is not willing, pursing her lips, she quietly in the bottom of her heart playing calculations.
Jacob saw that Poppy didn’t say anything anymore, and he knew in his heart that she must still be unhappy, but who, in turn, could stop himself?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Jacob did not explicitly say to Poppy what he used to ask Lucia to appear, but he did ask Lucia out in the evening, and, in a relatively complex environment of the cafe, every customer around may be his paparazzi planted in the store.
When Lucia showed up as promised, it was Nia who was at home to help with Theodore.
Since breaking up with Arthur, although Sophie still often comes to the house to take care of Theodore, but because of her own insistence, she no longer wants to stay as late as before, if Sophie stays too long, Lucia will politely remind her that it is time to leave, every time Sophie will helplessly look at Lucia, and Lucia is is gritting her teeth and resisting all the pressure.
“What did you want to see me out for?” Arriving at the cafe designated by Jacob, as soon as she walked up to him, Lucia asked directly and without mercy.
“You sit first.” Jacob said unhurriedly.
Lucia could only sit down, distracted by Jacob.
See Lucia as soon as she sits down and thinks about things, Jacob did not bother her, but, on the contrary, very much like such a quiet her, he will also act much better later.
After sitting for a long time without Jacob taking the initiative to talk, Lucia finally looked up at Jacob and asked again, “Did you find me out just to stare at me like that?”
“Just trying to find out what’s going on with you and Arthur, you guys have been on the front burner lately.” Jacob didn’t mind Lucia at all.
impatient tone, said with a smile.
“It’s none of your business.” With Jacob, Lucia couldn’t possibly be polite or think about the words she used.
Jacob seemed to have expected her to answer this way, the smile on his face did not fade by half, and turned to say: “You’ve had a good time abroad this time, right? I couldn’t even find you on the phone.”
Although Lucia was distracted, but also found that today’s Jacob not only not half hostile to their own, but also dedicated to find some boring topics to say, the smile on his face looks more harmless, this is not his style!
Immediately the alarm of defensiveness sounded, Lucia’s eyes turned and stared sharply at Jacob and asked:
“Jacob, what the hell are you selling in your gourd?”
