Chapter 640 Goosebumps

"Okay," said Esmae, nodding. "Take care of Lucia and the baby. Remember that."

Spencer knew what Esmae meant, so he nodded obediently and said, "I'll walk you out to the car."

After Spencer escorted them from the venue, Helena relaxed with the baby in her arms, complaining,

"Even a meal can be so tiring."

"Spencer arranged the christening and didn't expect Lucia and the baby to need a break," Reynolds said coldly, knowing what he was up to.

"If I hadn't thought about..." Arthur looked at the baby a few more times and returned to his own home. Helena stopped short. She didn't finish her words, but she believed that Reynolds would understand. As for Shawn, he had to figure it out on his own.

Reynolds reached out to take the baby from Helena's arms and sighed.

Lucia and he ended badly, but what about Arthur and Lucia?

The Hotel's door.

Spencer just opened the car door for Chris and Esmae, while Lucia accompanied Edwin and Sophie to there too, where they could look at one another.

Esmae stood in front of the car door and saw Chris glancing sideways. At once she saw Edwin and Sophie, her eyes turned cold.

Sensing the cooling of Esmae's breath, Chris smiled sheepishly at Edwin and Sophie. Esmae didn't notice, but Spencer did.

Spencer: Is Mr. Brown on Edwin and Sophie's side?!

Thinking about his attitude toward himself made Spencer even more skeptical.

Now that he was out of sight of his guests, it was the right time for him to stir things up.

Spencer smiled grimly and opened his mouth to Lucia,

"Lucia, Mr. Brown and Ms. Wilson are going back to rest. Why don't you send them off..."

Spencer's implicit words suggested that Lucia actually took the Edwins as more important than the Browns.

Lucia stuck in the middle and went to see the Browns, who were only a few metres away from the Edwins. She had a special relationship with them, so this was a snub to the Edwins. But if she stayed close to the Edwins, Esmae was not going to be easy for her.

Spencer sneered and continued to fan the flames. "Why aren't you here yet? Are they more important than them?"

All the people present frowned when they heard this, except for Esmae, who had been provoked by Spencer befor. Now, Esmae was concerned about her own position, so she didn't say anything, but just looked at Lucia quietly, waiting for her to make a decision.

Lucia's brows furrowed in embarrassment.

"Lucia, Jan's car is right over there. We can walk there ourselves," Sophie, who was standing next to her, said gently

"How can this be!" Lucia replied without thinking too much, but in the next second saw Esmae's instant cold eyes.

"Chris, let's go." Esmae didn't say much. She gave Lucia a cold look and got in the car.

Chris apologized to the Edwins, but he had Esmae's feelings to think about, so he bent over and got in the car. Spencer closed the door immediately, blocking out the helpless look Lucia gave Esmae. The engine roared, and in a few seconds, they left. Spencer saw the car drive away and turned triumphantly to Lucia.

"Spencer!" Lucia called Spencer's name angrily.

"I'm here," Spencer said with a smile as he put his hands in his pockets and walked up the stairs.

Just as Lucia was about to say something, Sophie clasped her hand and shook her head gently with a smile. She knew that Lucia wanted to stand up for her and her husband, but it wasn't worth it to be angry with someone like that.

Their eyes met, and Lucia instantly understood what Sophie meant. She took a deep breath and calmed down. It was true that Spencer was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between them, so there was no need for her to jump into his trap.

"Wait for me here. I'll take Edwin, Sophie and Teddy to the car," Lucia said as Spencer walked past them and tried to get into the lobby.

Spencer didn't want her to be nice to the Edwins and Teddy, but Lucia insisted he should watch it!

Spencer stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lucia.

Lucia sneered, took Sophie's hand, and walked down the stairs with Edwin, who was carrying Theodore, as Jan pulled up to the front door. "Teddy, be a good boy. I will come and see you when I have time," Lucia said gently as the Edwins got into the car with Theodore.

"Take my sister with you!" Theodore said.

"Sure, take your sister with me." Lucia smiled gently.

"Lucia, don't tire yourself out," Sophie said to Lucia before setting out.

"Okay." Lucia smiled and nodded, watching Jan drive away.

Similarly, when the car drove away, Lucia turned around slowly and walked up the stairs towards Spencer, with her eyes full of mockery.

Knowing that Lucia was doing it on purpose, Spencer tried to remain calm, but after hearing her promise to Theodore, he couldn't hold his breath. When Lucia came up to him, he said,Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"You're not taking the baby to see Theodore! Don't think I don't know what you're up to!"

"Do you know why I stayed for this stupid dinner?" Lucia asked Spencer with a smile and twinkle in her eyes.

Spencer didn't answer, but she did, "Because I wanted Arthur to see his daughter more. That's all."

With that, Lucia walked in without looking back, leaving Spencer to freak out!

One by one, they arrived at the banquet hall. Lucia beamed as she went to look for the three siblings of the Brown family. Spencer, on the other hand, braced himself to welcome the waves of guests that were chatting with him. Soon, the two of them were on opposite sides. If the guests hadn't known they were engaged, they would have thought they had nothing to do with each other.

"Lucia, did Spencer give you a hard time again?" Helena asked Lucia when she saw them enter the hall one by one.

"I'm used to it," said Lucia, too lazy to mention it.

"Oh..." Helena didn't ask any more questions. She leaned over to Lucia and said, "We have to find a way to get Arthur to spend more time with the baby, or this dinner won't be worth it."
