Chapter 624 Little capriciousness

Lucia sat on the sofa with her daughter in her arms. She looked at Arthur who was standing in front of her anxiously. At this moment, she really wanted to rub her eyes. Was she hallucinating? Standing aside, Jack, Victor and Nick were all smiling. Gene was the only one missing.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Lucia, is our daughter having a high fever?! How is she now?!" Before Lucia could react, Arthur anxiously walked up to her and looked at the baby.

"Huh? Fever?" Lucia was confused when she glanced at Victor who was blinking at her. For a moment, she seemed to understand something,

"Well, a little, but it's all right now."

Lucia's heart was warm and she said "thank you" in her heart.

"Well..." Arthur was still worried. He slowly sat down beside Lucia, afraid of disturbing the cute little angel. However, he carefully reached out his hand to take the baby girl's temperature. When he felt that the temperature was normal, he let out a sigh of relief,

"I came as soon as I got the call... It's OK, it's OK."

"I'm sorry to have worried you," Lucia said softly, hiding the joy and warmth in her heart.

Arthur looked at Lucia's delicate profile and noticed that she looked haggard, so he asked her carefully,

"Lucia, are you feeling unwell?"

Though he received photos of Lucia and baby every day, it was not as observant as seeing her face-to-face.

Lucia had something on her mind, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. At this moment, Jack was the most perceptive. He nudged the two people beside him and gave them a signal before they went upstairs together, leaving the living room for Lucia and Arthur.

Seeing Jack and the others leave, Lucia breathed a sigh of relief, but if she were to say anything to Arthur, she didn't know what to say.

"Can I hold the baby?" Arthur said, breaking the vague awkwardness between the two.

The baby was fast asleep after finishing her milk. She nodded and carefully placed her daughter in Arthur's arms.

Holding his soft daughter in his arms, Arthur's heart was instantly filled with warmth. He had dreamed about it several times.

Arthur looked down at the baby's sweet sleeping face. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The more he felt that something was amiss. If the child had a fever today, how could she sleep so soundly? He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood something.

Without another word, he quietly sat beside Lucia with his daughter in his arms. He was like a tree that never changed. He gently opened each branch of the tree to shield the people under the shade from the wind and rain.

She wasn't sure if she could sense Arthur's gentleness, but the sudden warmth in her heart made Lucia curl her lips. If she wasn't afraid of being too abrupt, she might have laughed softly.

They sat very close together, and Arthur did not ask any more questions, but looked intently at the baby in arms. Lucia thought that he was preoccupied with the health of the baby. Being a little petulant and indulgent, with the opportunity to change the sitting position to his side, she got closer to him. A few seconds later, she changed a position. This time, she stuck in his side.

Afraid that Arthur would find out, Lucia glanced at him and realized that he was still staring at the baby. She sighed in her heart and buried her head next to him, feeling at ease.

What Lucia didn't know was that Arthur had been watching her every move, and even the corners of his lips rose as she touched his arm.

As the night went on, Lucia and Arthur put the baby back in her crib. After making sure the baby was sound asleep, Arthur whispered to Lucia, "Lucia, I have something to tell you."

She nodded, and they walked out of the room. They were both worried the baby who was sleeping alone, and they chose to stand at the door and talk.

Lucia knew that something that made Arthur look so serious must be important, so she asked him,

"What happened?"

"I've found out who's been supporting Nia," Arthur said.

Lucia's eyes darkened, and she looked into Arthur's deep eyes. "Is that man related to me?" She asked.

Otherwise he wouldn't have taken it so seriously.

"It's Jacob," Arthur said quietly.

Jacob, this name, this person, this was the crux of Lucia's inability to openly fight against fate and choose to endure it. When she heard that he was the person behind Nia, her eyes immediately lit up. "So it's him... no wonder..." Lucia smiled and said coldly, "He has indeed found a good candidate. The people that Nia hates are the ones that he wants to get rid of. It's no wonder that they colludes." "Nia's under my surveillance, and she's the only lead we have to Jacob right now," Arthur said so to reassure Lucia.

But Lucia's heart palpitated at his words. She knew better than anyone whom he was doing it for.

But she can't say thank you.

"They must have been in constant contact with each other. If we can find a way to contact them, we can trace Jacob's location," Arthur said, seeing that Lucia was silent.

"Yes," said Lucia softly, repressing the almost overwhelmed feelings and forcing herself to continue in a low voice,

"Just find Jacob, and Poppy will get her revenge."

Then she could return to his side. Lucia buried these words in her heart.

"Well." Seeing the persistence in Lucia's eyes, Arthur was even more determined that he must not let Jacob go off!

At this point in the conversation, there seemed to be no further extension. The two of them were standing face to face. It was obvious that they could not say what they wanted to say. "Since the baby is fine, I'll go back first. Gene is still waiting for me in the car." Knowing that Lucia could not say more, Arthur chose the right time to leave and not make things difficult for her. "Yeah." Lucia's eyes flashed with disappointment. When she looked up, Arthur had already turned around. She couldn't help but say, "619Be careful..."

Arthur paused, did not turn around, but made a slight nod, and went downstairs to leave.

When Lucia saw Arthur disappear around the corner, she quickly ran to the window on the second floor, where she could see the side door of the building. She wanted to see Arthur leave safely.
