Chapter 627 In and out of the drama

"Would he have left if you hadn't been so aggressive?" Esmae scolded her daughter.

"He's a bad person, and he's a pain in the ass," Helena grumbled.

"Well, he's Lucia's fiance. If you're giving him a hard time, you're giving Lucia a hard time." Esmae didn't argue with Spencer's character, saying,

"Hold your temper a little later. If you can't, don't say anything."

Helena opened her mouth to argue, but... Chris said first, "Helena, listen to your mother. We're guests here."

Hearing her father say that, Helena reluctantly shut her mouth and coaxed the baby, who was already awake, to distract herself.

Upstairs.

Because Helena and Reynolds had been up here before, Lucia hadn't locked the door, and Spencer had just barged in unannounced. She had just taken off her pajamas and was about to change. When she heard the voice behind him, she immediately turned around and subconsciously wrapped her clothes around her chest.

When Lucia saw who it was, she was furious. "Get out of here!" She shouted

Spencer smirked and even glanced at Lucia's bare shoulders, which were exposed to the light,

"The Browns are here, Lucia. You have to get into character, Okay?"

It turned out that he was afraid that she would embarrass him in front of the Browns, so he came up early to "warn" her. Lucia sneered and said,

"You're an actor, but I'm not."

"Well said," Spencer said, as if unable to detect the irony in Lucia's words,

"You never hide your emotions, but it depends on when. This time even Mr. Brown is here. How do you think he's gonna feel about you and me if we go toe-to-toe? Breaking up is impossible. Ms. Wilson would never say yes, and that would only make other people worry."

Lucia frowned. She didn't want Chris to worry about her.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Seeing the change in Lucia's expression, Spencer chuckled. Knowing that he had guessed right her concerns, he turned around and said, "I'll wait for you outside the door. You can adjust your attitude."

If it weren't for Arthur's visit last night, Lucia might have rushed out and knocked Spencer down. However, she was calmer and her will got stronger now.

After changing her clothes quickly, Lucia sat in front of the dressing table and tidied up her appearance. Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, Lucia smiled. Even if she really wanted to act, she could only be the protagonist!

Lucia walked out of the room looking very different. She closed the door and said to Spencer,

"Let's go downstairs."

Seeing Lucia's friendly look, Spencer thought for a moment that he was hallucinating. However, when he saw Lucia walking downstairs, he didn't think much about it and followed her down the stairs. It'd been a long time not seeing Chris and Shawn. Lucia was happy to hug them and say, "Chris, long time no see. How's your health?"

"All is well," said Chris lovingly and looked up and down at Lucia. "You seem to be recovering well," he said. "I'm relieved."

"I'm sorry to let you worry," said Lucia with an embarrassed smile.

"Don't worry, Mr. Brown. Lucia has me. I won't let her be wronged." Spencer took the opportunity to walk behind Lucia and put his arms around her waist. He smiled at Chris who was noncommittal, but glanced at Spencer's hands.

Lucia raised an eyebrow, didn't reject Spencer's advances, and exchanged pleasantries with Shawn, making the living room feel cozy.

During the conversation, Spencer told Chris and Esmae the detailed arrangements for the christening. Lucia took the opportunity to talk away from him and Shawn, and the conversation naturally revolved around the baby in Helena's arms.

Seeing that her mother was talking to Spencer, and the servants weren't getting too close, Helena took advantage of it to coax the baby with Lucia, and ignored Shawn and Reynolds who were beside, asking her about Otis,

"Lucia, has Otis been in touch with you lately?"

"Yes," Lucia replied in a low voice. "He's very worried about your condition. I've made him feel at ease. Although your mom won't let you move freely, she won't make things difficult for you."

"The next time you talk to him, tell him I miss him," Helena said cheekily, with her cheeks turning pink. It was an embarrassing request, but she didn't want to miss a chance to tell him how much she missed him.

"Even if I don't say it, Otis will know." Lucia teased Helena. It was rare for the four of them to be together. No matter what the situation was, Lucia was relaxed and happy.

"You must say that too." Helena glared at Lucia and insisted that, when loving a person, she must clearly express her feelings to him.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell him for you," Lucia replied with a smile. She was envious of Helena, if only she could be as reckless as her.

On the other hand, Spencer had already explained the procedure of the christening for Chris and Esmae, keeping an eye on Lucia during the conversation, lest she say something to Shawn and Reynolds she shouldn't. As for Helena, he was powerless to change anything.

"Spencer," Esmae said with a frown, sensing Spencer's gaze, "Are you taking good care of Lucia and the baby?"

"Of course," Spencer said, looking back at Lucia. "You can see how she is."

"Don't think too much. Take good care of them, okay?" Esmae hid the warning in gentle words.

"I know," Spencer replied with a respectful smile, but there was a sneer in his heart.

When Lucia saw Spencer, Chris and Esmae had done talking, she took the baby from Helena's arms and walked over to Esmae,

"Esmae, I want Teddy to come to the christening."

Esmae immediately frowned, and Spencer's expression froze. A look of displeasure flashed across his eyes. Chris simply responded, "Teddy's her brother. Of course he's coming."

"Chris..." Esmae was too late to stop her husband.

"Is there a problem?" His wife looked serious. Chris asked with a gentle smile.

"You know Teddy can't get there alone," Esmae said, not believing her husband couldn't read her mind.
