Chapter 633 Unexpected Visitors
Soon after, Edwin and Sophie brought Theodore to the venue. Edwin and Sophie were so cultured that they were willing to talk to Spencer when they saw him, but Theodore couldn't help it. When he saw Lucia and his sister, he jumped up and down in excitement, kissing his mommy and his sister.
Theodore was so surprised to see a red and wrinkled baby a month ago that he couldn't bear to let go of his little hand.
Lucia squatted, holding her daughter in one hand and her son in the other.
Even if the reunion was short, Lucia had tasted the sweetness of happiness.
Spencer, however, was not happy with the warm image. After a brief exchange with Edwin and Sophie, he frowned and said to Lucia in a cold voice,
"Be careful. You'll drop our daughter."
Spencer pronounced the word "our" in a way that made Edwin frown. Sophie grabbed his arm and patted the back of his hand.
Lucia raised her head and glared at Spencer. Theodore's face was slightly aggrieved. Lucia couldn't help but kiss her son on the cheek. In a voice that only two people could hear, she said, "Teddy, be a good boy and be patient."
"Yeah, I will," Theodore said, and then took his grandfather's hand and walked away from his mother's warm embrace,
"Grandma and Grandpa, I'm hungry. I want to eat."
"Okay, I will take you to the table," said Edwin, who wanted to see more of his granddaughter, but couldn't bear to see Spencer's attitude and his grandson suffer.
Spencer sneered and winked at his man behind him, who hurried up to guide Edwin and the others to their seats, where Edwin found them very far from the center. It could even be said that this table was the edge of the hall.
"The heart of a villain," Edwin scoffed.
"You know he's just like that, so why are you angry? Stay away from him and let's have some peace." Sophie comforted her husband nonchalantly, but when she glanced at Esmae, who was sitting on a chair, she took a few more glances.
Knowing that Sophie cared about Esmae, Edwin hid his displeasure with Spencer, and for years remained attentive to his wife as he pulled out a chair for her. He waited until she was seated before allowing Theodore to sit between them,
"We got to see our granddaughter as we wished, and it was worth it for what happened today."
"Yeah." Sophie smiled gently, connecting with her husband.
Theodore looked to his left at his grandfather and to his right at his grandmother, smiling. And he thought to himself that grandpa and grandma were really in love...
If Edwin and Sophie knew they'd been teased by their grandson, they'd be laughing.
Soon after, Kane, Juliana, Eduard and Daphne arrived, too, and Spencer, in his own way, could not fail to invite them, because he wanted them to see that he had Lucia, and he wanted them to be indignant and helpless.
So when he greeted them, Spencer had a big smile on his face.
"Mr. Fletcher, Mrs. Fletcher, Mr. Burton, Miss Allen, welcome. Lucia and I have been expecting you."
Spencer's smile was polite, but to Kane and the others it was brute, so no one paid any attention to him. The four of them put down their gifts for the baby and quickly said hello to Lucia before walking the table. They were too lazy to listen to Spencer's smugness.
"That was quick," Spencer said in Lucia's ear as Kane and the others took their seats.
"How you treat people, others will naturally treat you the same." Lucia said lightly.
"I'm enthusiastic, aren't I?" Spencer said, deliberately raising the volume. owns this text.
Lucia sneered and kept her mouth shut.
Spencer felt bored, so he shut up and waited for his next guest.
Spencer looked at the visitor's log and said to Lucia,
"Let's sit down, too. It's about time."
Although the nurse took turns holding the baby, Lucia was tired. She nodded and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and her steps stopped in an instant.
Arthur was here.
Spencer had already turned around, and when he saw Lucia's abnormality, he looked back too, and with one glance his eyes almost popped out.
Right behind them, Arthur was walking over with Nia. These two people who would never walked together were now close. Nia was holding Arthur's arm with a gentle look on her face. Otherwise, everyone would think she was his girlfriend.
Spencer's mind went blank. He almost thought he was wrong about Arthur and Nia. No way!
After the shock, he quickly looked toward Lucia, only to see her eyes had the pain.
Spencer thought about the possibility of Arthur forming an alliance with Nia. This was the last thing he wanted to see. However, seeing Lucia unhappy about Arthur's "betrayal", he secretly felt elated. His emotions were complicated.
Just as Spencer was thinking, Arthur and Nia had arrived at the entrance, and Lucia was staring blankly at Arthur as if she had forgotten everything around her.
Spencer could almost hear Lucia's heartbeat.
Why?
He smiled like a gentleman and spoke to Nia first. "Ms. Davidson, I thought you weren't coming, but not only did you come, but you brought an unwelcome person with you." Spencer didn't need to hide his
sarcasm.
"Mr. Davies, you invited me, so I'm here. As for who my accompany is, it's none of your business, right?" Nia countered without fear, without hiding her disgust for Spencer. Nia glared at him, then turned to look at Lucia. A smug smile appeared on her face, and she held Arthur's arm even tighter in a daze as she pretended to say,
"Ms. Webb, it's been a long time. I know you're still angry about what I did in the past, but I'm here to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Congratulations on giving birth to such a cute baby. I hope she can grow up healthy."
