Chapter 32 Team up to Irritate Arthur
Theodore knew that his mommy dressed up to attend the party with her boss tonight. Arthur, who had also been invited, had to go alone.
As a clever boy, he noticed the relationship between Arthur and Lucia was hitting a new level.
Arthur glanced down at his mischievous son and chose to remain silent, but he did not expect Sophie to join Theodore.
"That's very generous of you, my son." Based on her understanding of her son, Sophie thought he might snatch Lucia from Eduard. But he didn't.
Hearing that, Arthur glanced at Sophie and said nothing.
"Grandma, I want to be as generous as Uncle Arthur in the future." Seeing that Arthur was unaffected, Theodore made sarcastic remarks to irritate Arthur.
"Well, Theodore, you will be a generous boy," Sophie said, looking at Arthur.
Theodore and Sophie teamed up and finally got Arthur mad. He tossed his hair irritably, and at last expressed his true thoughts.
"Do you think I want to do that? To get her all dressed up and go off with another man? I'm not that selfless yet. But that's Lucia's job. What am I supposed to do? To tie her up?" Theodore and Sophie smiled at each other when Arthur no longer hid his real thoughts. Arthur's outburst was what they expected.
So, when Arthur's face turned red because of anger, Sophie opened the door and said to him.
"Well, it's time for you to leave, son. You know, Lucia is attending the party with her boss, but she doesn't have to be by his side the whole time."
With that, Sophie gave a playful wink. She was old, but she was a girl at heart, so it didn't look weird when she gave a girlish wink.
Arthur's eyes lit up, and he seemed to take Sophie's hint.
Finally, he stopped frowning, got much better, and went out.
After Arthur had left, Theodore suddenly sighed like an old man, took Sophie by the hand, and said, "Grandma, this son of yours is a lot to worry about."
Looking down at Theodore, Sophie smiled even more. She rubbed his head lovingly and said, "He's a real worry..."
Not knowing what happened after she left, Lucia gently lifted up her skirt and walked downstairs.
Downstairs, Eduard was sitting in his car, waiting for Lucia.
When he was about to make a second phone call, he saw a beautiful figure at the complex gate. He froze there completely forgetting to open the door for Lucia as a gentleman. Finally, Lucia opened the door and got into the car by herself.
Tonight was a special night, so Eduard let the chauffeur drive the car, and he sat in the back seat.
Eduard was now staring blankly at Lucia as she bent and got in the car.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Heedless of Eduard's stares, Lucia got in the car, sat down and made an apology.
Eduard wanted to say, 'You look beautiful tonight.' But it wasn't accurate enough to describe Lucia's beauty.
Tonight, Lucia was wearing a light purple dress.
With delicate makeup on her perfect face, she made others unable to take their eyes off her.
Lucia's outfit for the night was Arthur's work. He ordered this designer dress from Dior for Lucia in advance, so the size was suitable, making her tall body look slim and attractive. She could have had her makeup done by makeup artists, but Arthur didn't wish Lucia to look too stunning with gorgeous makeup.
So, after Lucia tried on the dress, he took her home, and Sophie did the makeup for Lucia.
A European-style dress and a classic hairstyle matched very well and added elegance to Lucia.
Sophie even "forced" Lucia to take several photos with Arthur after Lucia got dressed up.
The perfect woman was naturally attractive. Lucia did not notice that the way Eduard looked at her had changed.
"Lucia, you look beautiful tonight, so gorgeous..." Trying to liven the atmosphere, Eduard praised Lucia, though he didn't think it was an accurate adjective to describe Lucia's beauty. "Thank you." Lucia nodded to Eduard politely, with a gentle smile on her face, which made Eduard's heart skip a beat.
Eduard had the best night of his life. Although Lucia standing next to him was not his lover, he received the most envious gazes from everyone. But his elation was short-lived. Arthur set off half an hour later than Lucia, and by the time he got to the banquet hall, the party had started.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Kaur, Arthur walked to a corner to enjoy his wine alone.
Looking at Arthur surrounded by women, Lucia bit her lip.
But she could not give up socializing. Eduard was introducing her to others.
Lucia could only repress the urge to go to Arthur, but she could not help glancing at Arthur.
Finally, Eduard met an old acquaintance, and the two chatted happily. Lucia took the opportunity to sneak away.
Arthur was very annoyed at this point. He met one of Sophie's old acquaintances. She was bragging about her daughter in front of him, and her daughter next to her was looking shyly at Arthur. As soon as Lucia walked over, she saw the girl looking at Arthur shyly.
She felt a little bit jealous and went to him without hesitation.
"Arthur, there you are." Lucia's smile was gentle and touching, and her voice was soft and cajoling.
As soon as she opened her mouth, all the people standing around Arthur looked at her.
"Arthur, who's she?" The noble lady was stunned.
She heard Lucia call Arthur fondly and wondered, 'Who is she? It looks like she's in a relationship with Arthur. Does my daughter still have a chance to get Arthur?'
