Chapter 238 They're Getting Engaged

Lucia gave a wry smile and was about to leave, but Jeanne leaned gently towards August, and announced to Lucia shyly, "We are going to get engaged."

Lucia was slightly stunned and her eyes quickly skimmed over August, only to see his cold face as usual.

It seemed that what Jeanne said was true because August didn't retort.

Lucia had to force a smile and said, "Congratulations."

Jeanne blushed and said, "Please keep it a secret."

Lucia forced herself to be dispassionate and said, "Okay."

As she spoke, August raised his eyes toward her and looked at the woman with an unchanged face and his heart suddenly emerged with a certain discomfort.

He thought it seemed that she didn't mind at all that he would engage with someone else! Jeanne thanked her and asked, "By the way, did you come alone?"

"Came with a friend."

Lucia said and subconsciously looked in the direction of the seat, just able to see Paul sitting by the window.

Jeanne followed her gaze and was surprised to see Paul, and then she deliberately said in a loud voice, "Is that Paul Thomas of Cloud Technology? I heard my father mention him not long ago! I didn't expect that he and you are good friends!"

Lucia smiled and said nothing.

August also noticed Paul, and he almost couldn't suppress his anger.

He recalled last time when he went to see her in the hospital, she was busy taking care of Bill, but he didn't expect she would date Paul so soon! Moreover, when they met before, Lucia said she wanted to keep a distance from him and refused to be restricted by those terms in the contract.

It was true what she did was to get married to Paul! A touch of sarcasm slid across the bottom of August's eyes, and he averted his gaze with some impatience.

At this time, Jeanne looked at Lucia with an ambiguous smile and whispered, "Lucia, you and Mr.Thomas are a good match, bless you too."

"Let's go."

Not waiting for Lucia to answer, August said in a cold voice.

Jeanne hurriedly smiled at Lucia and waved, before following August upstairs, "August, Mom and Dad had just arrived not long ago, and there is no rush..."

Hearing her voice fading away, Lucia stood there blankly for a while and returned to her seat.

Several dishes had been served on the table and Paul was about to ask Lucia to taste them when he looked up and saw her pale face, "Lucia, what's wrong with you?" Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Lucia shook her head and said softly, "It's okay, I'm probably too tired."

Paul hurriedly said, "Then eat quickly, I'll send you back to rest after eating."

Lucia seemed to have no appetite and did not eat much.

Paul was worried and sent her back without asking for more.

When they arrived at her apartment, Lucia got off the car and Paul followed.

"Lucia, are you okay?"

Paul walked up to her side.

Lucia replied, "Paul, I'm fine.I am really too tired and I need to go home and have a rest."

Paul was still uneasy and insisted on sending her to the door of the apartment.

Lucia said goodbye to him and entered her house, but the moment the door closed, she was too weak to stand, falling into the couch and bursting into tears.

She couldn't forget the scene when Jeanne announced they were going to get engaged and fell asleep with tears.

In the suburban villa, Bishop was in a good mood to tease Lightning and teach him to speak new words, but Lightning didn’t follow him, only pecking at the bird food in his hand.

Mandy stood by and couldn't help but laugh.

Bishop raised his eyes and asked her, "Mandy, what's wrong with Lightning?"

Mandy smiled and explained, "Maybe he is in a bad mood."

Bishop laughed and reached out his index finger to nudge Lightning's furry little head, "Just a parrot is still ina bad mood?"

After that, he scattered the bird food into the box and gestured for Mandy to push him out.

Bishop said leisurely, "Mandy, I can feel my precious parrot rely too much on you, and I'm afraid he will follow you away from home if you resign."

Hearing his words, Mandy laughed lightly, "You are joking."

Suddenly, Bishop reached out his hand and covered hers, saying, "Mandy, until I recover, you will always be here, right?"

Mandy felt her heartbeat quicken as he touched.

She took a deep breath and hastily spoke, "Yes, I will always be here."

"That's good."

He withdrew his hand immediately.

Bob came by just as they reached the stairway and reported ina soft voice, "The car is ready."

Bishop nodded slightly, "Good, let's go."

Bob took the wheelchair from Mandy and pushed him into the car.

Mandy, on the other hand, followed them with their luggage.

This time they would go to The Golden Hotel for a few days because the hot springs there would help Bishop's legs recover.
