Spencer felt very uncomfortable. She was still at home, but the distance between the two of them was already infinite. However, there was nothing he could do about it now. He took a deep look at Lucia and left the building as he was told.

Not five minutes after Spencer left, a clear whistle sounded from the quiet building. Lucia smiled when she heard it and could finally sit down at ease.

She let Jack thoroughly check the entire building. The whistle was to inform her that the building was safe with no surveillance.

Sitting on the soft sofa, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took out her phone and sent a message to her son, Theodore. She thought the child was asleep, but a few minutes later, he sent her a video call.

Her eyes looked gentle. Lucia connected to the video and saw Theodore's extremely handsome smiling face.

"Why are you still up, baby?" Lucia asked with a smile.

"I was just talking to Alice. Mommy, I told her about your message," said Theodore with a smile.

"Good," Lucia said and asked Theodore, "Have you been listening to your grandparents lately?"

"Of course, I'm the most obedient child in the world!" Theodore replied smugly.

Lucia burst out laughing and asked him, "Are you taking your medicine on time? Are you still feeling unwell?"

"No," Theodore replied with a smile, but he couldn't help but tease himself. "But I don't think I have gotten any taller lately. I used to get taller a little bit every month, but not this month."

The child didn't mean it, but Lucia's heart ached for him. She didn't show it but smiled and said, "It's fine. It's probably just the medication. We'll have to check it again in a while, and the doctor will take a good look at it."

"Okay," said Theodore, nodding heavily, "I'm sure baby. I will grow tall, as tall as daddy!"

At the mention of Arthur, Lucia's expression softened, "Of course, you will be as tall as daddy, and taller than him, OK?"

"No need," said Theodore, shaking his head. "Douglas says that 187 cm is the ideal height in girls' heart. Dad is 187 cm. I should be just like him."

Seeing her son so serious, Lucia couldn't help but tease him, "Kid, you're only six and a half years old now. Do you need to worry about your future so long from now?"

"I'm not worried," Theodore said with a smile. "It's confidence. I'm going to be as good as Daddy."

Lucia couldn't help but think that Arthur had said something similar before, that Teddy would definitely be with him, even better than him. It seemed that the father and son really had a connection.

The interface was face-to-face, and in a split second, sensitive Teddy noticed a change in her expression. Moving his eyes, he asks Lucia,

"Mommy, do you miss daddy?"

"Well, I miss him," replied Lucia honestly, or rather, there wasn't a moment when she didn't miss him.

"Don't worry, Mommy. I will complete the task as soon as possible so that you and Daddy can be together!" Theodore promised with a serious and manly expression on his little face. "Please," said Lucia, laughing.

After a long chat with Theodore, Lucia told him to go to bed early, so they hang up the video call. Just as there was a noise at the back door, Lucia looked over warily, but saw Victor walking in. She relaxed again in an instant.

The tall Victor came in through the back door with a classic lunch box in his hand. When he saw Lucia, he waved the lunch box at her and said,

"Lucia, it's time to eat."

"Have you eaten?" Lucia didn't have to ask him if he was going to be spotted. Victor only showed up when no one was around, so she asked him first.

"Eat up, hurry up. There's stew here. Drink it while it's hot." Victor went to the coffee table and opened the food box.

After saying thank you, Lucia carefully picked up the stew. She looked at it, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Victor,

"Victor, where did you get this soup?"

Victor scratched his hair and asked, "What? You don't like it?"

"Of course I do like it," Lucia said with a smile. "I was just wondering where you got this tonic, especially for pregnant women, as you're not familiar with Athegate."

Lucia asked because Victor was bringing pigeon soup today, and even if he had done his homework, he wouldn't have been able to familiarize himself with the diet habit right away. And it wouldn't be the same every day. It didn't look like Victor had a choice.

"I just bought it randomly," Victor said with an awkward smile. "I'm glad you like it."

Lucia was just asking, so she didn't pay close attention to Victor's awkwardness and quickly ate all the food.

"Would you like some extra for dinner? I don't think you have enough." Victor asked with a smile at the soon empty dishes.

"No," said Lucia, blushing slightly. "That's enough."

To tell the truth, she really felt it a little not enough. The food was so delicious.

"I'll bring you some more," said Victor, who, though a brute, knew how to read expressions.

Lucia blushed and smiled shyly.

Lucia had been in a much better mood since she had moved into the house. Now, she did not enter through the main entrance, but came back through the back door of the house. She hardly had to meet Spencer.

The more depressed Spencer felt, the more he doted on Nia. As if he was empathizing with Lucia, he even started to bring her out in public. Soon, the upper class decided that Spencer had a new lover, but this kind of thing had long been no surprise, but also to get everyone to talk about it.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

A blink of an eye and after more than half a month, Lola's vacation was coming to an end.

Lola loved her job, but she loved Arthur even more. Although their "relationship" had been pushed to the forefront of public opinion, Arthur had never explicitly told her that he was willing to accept her, and the two had never had intimate contact, not even a kiss.

Lola suspected that Arthur was using her.

To find out, Lola went out of her way to talk to Arthur before the holiday ended.

At the turn of the day and night, Lola stopped Arthur as Juliana and Kane took the baby out for a walk before he returned to his study to take care of business.

"Arthur, can we talk?"

Arthur took one look at Lola, paused for a few seconds, then walked over and sat down next to her.
