Chapter 637 Identity Confirmation
Once Lucia took it, at least in front of everyone, the two of them had moved on.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
However, Nia underestimated Lucia's temper.
"If you mean it, I'll take it," Lucia said, with her voice turning cold. "But the question is, do you mean it?"
"Of course I meant it," Nia replied without hesitation.
"Then what was that innuendo?" Lucia's voice was not muffled, and everyone in the room could hear it clearly,
"Whether it's true. I can tell and I can feel it."
After she finished speaking, Lucia gave Nia a cold look, then turned around and left without hesitation. Spencer followed her and smiled at Nia with disdain before leaving,
"Keep the money for yourself."
Nia didn't expect Lucia to embarrass her in front of everyone. Her face turned a little red. When she noticed that the people who were at the same table with her were whispering to each other after Lucia and Spencer left, she felt even more embarrassed.
Everyone thought there would be a fierce quarrel, but it ended so quickly, so they all stared at Nia, with their prying eyes almost piercing her.
Arthur took one look at Nia and whispered, "It's okay. Sit down."
Arthur's words gave Nia an out. She quickly sat down, adjusted her posture, and calmed herself down. Then, she apologized to Arthur and said, "Mr. Davies, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to..."
"I know," Arthur said before Nia could finish her words, "Because Spencer's here, right?"
Nia nodded in embarrassment.
"Go on with your meal," Arthur said graciously, without going on about how Nia ran into Lucia and called out his name affectionately.
Nia bowed her head slightly and nodded shyly.
To be honest, if Nia hadn't been supported by Jacob and been wary of Arthur, she really couldn't help but be tempted. This man was really gentle and knew how to create the right opportunity for her at the right time. Actually, it was not difficult to get along with him.
After Nia lowered her head, Arthur also started to eat. Everything that had just happened seemed to be an illusion, but the cold light that flashed in his eyes was real.
Due to the unpleasant encounter with Nia earlier, Lucia no longer had a smile on her face during the rest of the banquet. Everyone knew what was going on, so they were having a conversation with Spencer. No one bothered to disturb Lucia, who was already in a low mood.
Soon after, Spencer had to take Lucia to the corner table.
"Edwin, Sophie, thank you for coming here for our daughter," Spencer said, raising his glass to Edwin and Sophie with a fake smile on his face.
Edwin said nothing, while Sophie watched gently as Lucia hugged Theodore, turning a blind eye to Spencer.
Spencer's smile stiffened.
"Edwin, Sophie, you've worked hard." Holding Theodore, Lucia said to Edwin and Sophie sheepishly. If she had known that Spencer wouldn't like them, she would have done it anyway. She knew that they wanted to see the baby, even a glance.
"It's okay, it's okay," Sophie said with a smile. "There's a cause and effect, and there's a cycle."
"That's right." Lucia smiled, and until that moment, her smile was genuine.
Sophie and Lucia's words seemed to mean something, and Spencer's eyes darkened with a hint of displeasure.
"Lucia, the toast is over. Let's hurry back to the table," Spencer urged without any reservation. She did not know that he was deliberately stalling for Lucia to accompany him at every table just now. Lucia glanced at Spencer and didn't budge.
"Lucia!" Seeing what Lucia was up to, Spencer panicked. Her presence here was too conspicuous!
"I'm going to stay here with Teddy. You can go back first," Lucia said as she pulled out an unoccupied seat next to her and sat down. Since this was a table at the corner, there were not many people sitting here. It was obvious how mean Spencer was.
"Lucia!" Spencer lowered his voice. "This is our daughter's christening. What are you doing here all by yourself?"
"My daughter has Helena and they're taking care of her. Teddy is my son, so why can't I stay?" Lucia retorted without even looking back at Spencer.
"You!" Spencer knew Lucia's temper and could only stay angry.
"I suggest you go back," Edwin said coolly. "Stand still a little longer, and someone might come along."
Spencer glared at Edwin. He didn't want them to steal his thunder, so he snorted at Lucia and left.
Edwin and the others didn't care about Spencer's attitude. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Lucia was talking to them with Theodore in her arms, trying not to mention Arthur.
As soon as Lucia sat down at the corner table, even though Spencer had gone to the other tables where there were his acquaintances, everyone couldn't help but look at them with curiosity, and the speculation about the Edwins' identity heated up even more.
Before long, some people began to doubt their identities.
"Do you think, with Theodore around, they could be Arthur's parents?"
"What?! You're saying that man is the president of Davonnis Corp?!"
"If you look closely, Arthur looks just like him... I suppose he does!"
"No way, Spencer invited them? They are the parents of the Davonnis Corp four brothers! No, I want to meet him."
"Come on, if they are Arthur's parents, they wouldn't take us seriously..."
"I don't think so. Why Spencer had put them in a corner?"
"Why not? Think about it. They're bringing along Lucia and Arthur's son. Today is Spencer and Lucia's daughter's christening. How ironic."
"Spencer is so small-minded to invite them over and put them in that position..."
"It's just that..."
After some controversy, the identities of the Edwins seemed to be confirmed, and a number of bold, forward-looking young men went over to talk to Edwin.
Edwin did not hide his identity, and there was an explosion of admiration when he graciously admitted that he was the president of Davonnis Corp, and responded with appropriate humility.
