Chapter 622 Kindly feelings being avoided

Nia was elated to be leaving the Branch of Davonnis. Amasun Group must have been frustrated by Arthur's intervention, and Spencer's attention to Cloudwork will be scattered. It was their own time to act. That night she told Jacob about her meeting with Arthur via video, and Jacob thought about it for a moment and said something that kind of dampened Nia's motivation. He said,

"Arthur is not a simple man. He loves Lucia so much, but he is kind to you today. It is better to keep a proper distance from him in the future."

"But I don't think he knows anything about Spencer's plan. We're not losing anything by telling him this, and he hasn't shown any hostility toward me," Nia said hesitantly.

"You don't know enough about him. Just listen to me," Jacob said aggressively.

A few seconds later, she nodded, though in her heart, she still felt that she should forge a good relationship with Arthur. As they were talking about this, she suddenly noticed a person walking behind Jacob in the video. Nia quickly asked,

"Jacob, why is there someone behind you?"

"Those are some of my new guys. It's easier to be seen being alone. If I run into Lucia and Spencer's guys, at least I'll have a chance to escape," Jacob explained.

"Now that Lucia is so focused on taking care of her daughter, it's like she disappears, and Kane is in control of the Webbex Group. I really can't think of a way to break through right now," Nia added with a frown.

"There's no hurry dealing with Webbex," Jacob said. "Our priority is Spencer. Webbex is protected by Davonnis. It's not going to be easy."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Nia let out a long sigh, feeling disappointed. She couldn't help but murmur,

"If only you were here..."

Jacob understood Nia's feelings, but he didn't want to give her any feedback, so he said instead,

"It's getting late. You should get some rest. Only when you have a good rest will you have the energy to continue to mediate with our enemies." Jacob didn't want to talk about it, but Nia was not willing to see that. Now she really needed someone to be around, so she tried to ask, "Can't you just go home?"

Jacob immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at Nia, saying, "I'm going to die if I go back to the country. Do you think I can?"

Nia lowered her eyes. She didn't know how to continue this conversation. She wasn't happy about it, but she didn't know how to say it.

"Don't think too much. Some things will only upset you. Our first priority is revenge. Let's wait until everything is settled." Jacob sighed and comforted Nia a little.

Nia's eyes immediately lit up when she heard this, and she took a lot of cues from Jacob's words, which made her feel like her heart was not going unanswered.

Time passed quickly. During the coldest days of the middle of winter, Christmas neared quietly. The originally busy city was even more lively. There were many Christmas trees on the streets. Although there was still some time before the holiday, everyone's mood became very relaxed and happy.

But before Christmas, Spencer mentioned the baby's christening.

By hosting the christening, Spencer was able to expand his network and build relationships with the Brown family. He wouldn't miss this opportunity, but when he suggested it to Lucia, once again, he was rebuffed.

"I don't want to be in the public right now. I don't want to socialize. Forget about the christening."

"The baby is my daughter. Earlier, you said that you were too weak to hold a celebration party. I agreed. This time, you must listen to me!" Spencer's tone was stiff. As he saw Lucia holding a black coat on the sofa, his eyes changed.

During her pregnancy, Spencer had only seen Lucia several times, so he didn't pay much attention to the coat she had been holding in her arms, but today, for some reason, it was eye-catching. "What if I don't listen?!" While the baby was being cared for upstairs by paramedics, Lucia didn't have to lower her voice to contradict him.

"Without an 'If', I am a cuckold. Can't I get something for myself? Cloudwork's reputation goes worse. I need this to improve it. Besides, don't you want to meet your friends and subordinates?" Spencer might as well come clean about his intentions, since Lucia had never thought of him in a good light.

Of course Lucia wanted to, but not in the scene Spencer had planned.

"You knew that there's a rumor that the baby is Arthur's biological daughter, so you want me to bring her into a public place for everyone to judge. Spencer, aren't you afraid of confirming the truth?" Lucia said with a cold expression on her face.

"They can say whatever they want," Spencer said, and no one had any proof that the baby was not his.

"I came here today to inform you, not to seek your advice. In three days the christening will take place as planned."

"You might as well take care of the company instead of spending all this time on public opinion," Lucia said suddenly, staring at Spencer.

Spencer's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He rushed toward Lucia and held her between his arms and the sofa. His eyes were extremely stern as he questioned her coldly, "What do you know?!"

What he and his father had planned must remain a secret, and if Lucia learned anything, he would have to think about how to silence the woman.

"What do I know?" Lucia chuckled and said disdainfully. "You keep coming back to USA. Are you going on vacation?"

Hearing Lucia's words, Spencer did not know how to refute for a moment. He looked at her eyes suspiciously, hoping to see something from them.

"Step back now, or I'll make sure that you never see a woman again for the rest of your life!" Spencer was so close that she could feel his breath on her cheek. Lucia said in disgust.

Even though Lucia was in a sullen mood, it made her cheeks blush, and from up there, her face was as exquisite as any in the world. Spencer could even smell the faint scent of milk and tenderness coming from her.
