Chapter 698 Rejected from the door
Lucia looked at Sophie gratefully and asked the others if they had had breakfast. Everyone else said no, and they would eat later. Arthur led Lucia and Theodore into the dining room. Spencer got up and followed them.
"I'm coming, too," said Bailey, who got up to follow Spencer but was stopped by Otis.
"Don't go there. Lucia needs time to get used to it," Otis said.
"Get used to what?" Bailey frowned deeply.
Otis said nothing.
What else can she get used to? Get used to the fact that Arthur wasn't there for her anymore, that Spencer was!?
Bailey understood what Otis meant, but still looked indignantly in the direction of the dinning room.
In the dining room, Spencer was not greeted, but the servants politely served him breakfast when he sat down. Spencer sat across from Lucia. He did not touch any food but looked at Lucia and Arthur coldly, and their son for breakfast.
After about ten minutes, Spencer said, "Arthur, it's time to give me back my woman."
Lucia and Arthur frowned. Arthur didn't hesitate but turned to Theodore. "Teddy, go back to the living room," he said
Theodore was so clever that he slipped out of his chair and made his way back to the living room. After Theodore had left, Arthur turned to look at Spencer, and his words were indifferent.
"Spencer, don't talk big. It won't do you any good to be so cocky."
"Talk big?" Spencer sneered, and his eyes fixed on Lucia who was silent.
"You're the one who is cocky, aren't you? For the past two days, you've been occupying Lucia because it's your territory. I'll tolerate it, but she'll be leaving with me soon. Arthur, I'm the one who can accompany Lucia into the Brown Manor, not you!"
Spencer was venting his pent-up emotions for the past two days. He couldn't care less how ridiculous his words sounded to Lucia and Arthur.
Arthur smiled but did not reply. He turned to Lucia and told her gently,
"Lucia, be careful."
"Don't worry. They'll protect me and the baby from harassment," she said softly, glancing at Spencer as she spoke.
Seeing the natural chemistry in Lucia's and Arthur's eyes, Spencer felt as if something had given him a good scratch, and he was on fire.
Lucia glanced over at Spencer's dispossessed face and continued eating her breakfast.
Arthur ignored Spencer even more. After eating with Lucia, he led her up and left. Spencer tried his best to suppress his urge to sweep the food on the table onto the floor.
His provocations had always been self-defeating in the face of Lucia and Arthur.
With the departure imminent, Lucia kissed and hugged Theodore, and after some careful exhortation, she got into the car. Just as Spencer was about to get into the car, Victor beat her to the punch. "I'm sorry, Mr. Davies, but I'm going to stay with her."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Victor sat next to Lucia and grinned at Spencer. Spencer gritted his teeth. Knowing that the Edwins were watching him, he could only clench his fists and get into the second car.
Jack and the others also got in the car. Through the window, Lucia reluctantly waved to Arthur and other people. She did not know what would happen next.
Seeing Arthur's reluctance, Otis tapped him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "You'll see her soon. Don't worry."
Arthur looked at the slowly moving car and nodded with a wry smile.
On the way, after a few hours of flying, Lucia and her people arrived in Chicago. Although Esmae had spoken harshly on the phone, as soon as they exited the airport, Lucia saw at once the butler of Brown Manor and the motorcade.
Lucia felt a lot in her heart. As expected, Esmae couldn't let go of her.
But this time, although the butler was very happy when seeing Lucia, his look was a little solemn.
The butler sat in the front seat of the car. After the car had driven off for a while, he could not help but turn to Lucia and say,
"Ms. Webb, when you get home, you may have to bear with it a little longer and not argue with madam for the time being." "What is going on?" asked Lucia worriedly.
"I'm not too sure. Everything was fine at first, but madam and Miss Brown seemed to have an argument the day before yesterday. After that, Miss Brown never left the room again. Madam was also in a bad mood, and Mr. Brown was very worried."
"Well..." whispered Lucia. "Don't worry. I won't upset her."
"That's good." As the butler of Brown Manor, he knew about Lucia and Arthur. This time, he had specifically reminded her to do what was best for both Lucia and Helena.
As the car drove on, Lucia, who was in the car, could see the Brown Manor's gate from a distance, but at the gate, the butler ordered the driver to stop. He got out of the car, went to the back seat, opened the door on Lucia's side, and said to her apologetically,
"Ms. Webb, please give me the baby first..."
When Lucia heard the words, her eyes flashed and she unconsciously had a wryly smile.
Esmae was still angry.
Without any resistance, Lucia handed her daughter over to the butler and got out of the car herself.
"Ms. Webb, madam has ordered. Only after you apologize will she allow you to enter the house and be forgiven." After Jack and Spencer got out of the car, the butler carried the baby back into the car, said to Lucia before the car drove in.
"I don't blame you," Lucia understood and replied. Her feeling was complicated beyond comprehension.
Esmae had sent people to pick her up, but she wouldn't let her in when she got home. This was Esmae's tough gentleness.
Looking at the door that was closed again, Spencer was at a loss. He didn't know that his plan had succeeded. He only knew that when they were left at the door, he was extremely unhappy. So, he took it out on Lucia.
"Lucia, are you upsetting Ms. Wilson again? You're locked out of your home?!"
And she was implicating him!
Spencer saw himself as a guest, and felt bad to be treated like that.
Lucia gave Spencer a cold look, but didn't say anything. She just walked to the curb and sat down, with her head bowing.
