Chapter 746 Confessions

But just when everyone thought there would be no answer to the question other than embarrassment, Lucia spoke up,

"Arthur, since he is curious, it doesn't hurt to tell him. Besides, Mr. Wood must have heard a lot of rumors when he asked."

After she finished speaking, Lucia glanced at Nia, and Nia immediately found it difficult to breathe and unconsciously avoided Lucia's gaze.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry, but I heard a lot of people talking about you, and Nia's involved, so I..."

"Casper, what are you talking about?" Nia interrupted Jacob with a frown on her face.

"Ms. Davidson, it's okay. Mr. Wood cares about you so much, and Arthur and I do have a responsibility to explain it to him," Lucia said matter-of-factly, but the sparkle in her bright eyes was so sharp that she looked back at Jacob.

"Mr. Wood, the press is right. Spencer and I have a falling out, and I want to get back together with Arthur, so he's the first person I go to when I got hurt. But my relationship with them has nothing to do with Ms. Davidson. The media just likes to poke holes in things. You can rest assured."

"I see," said Jacob. Lucia's answer was very succinct, but Jacob wasn't stupid enough to ask further. He smiled and said,

"Ms. Webb, you're really bold and generous. Even your attitude toward pursuing happiness is so generous that you don't mind what the outside world says."

"Of course," Lucia said simply, "What I like, I will fight for. What I don't like, I will never go deep."

Lucia's words didn't sound strange, as if she was just expressing her own thoughts, but Arthur's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard those words. He was deep in thought.

Jacob nodded in approval of Lucia's words, and Nia, seeing that the conversation was over and that she was afraid he would do something again, quickly got up and said good-bye.

"Mr. Davies, Ms. Webb, I have an important meeting to attend, so I'll leave you to it. Ms. Webb, I hope you get well soon."

"Thank you," said Lucia politely.

After Nia and Jacob left, Arthur took the baby from Lucia's arms back to the crib and sat on the edge of the bed staring at her. "What's wrong?" Lucia asked him, smiling.

"Casper came to you in private?" Arthur was sensitive to anything that happened to Lucia.

"Yes," replied Lucia, frankly. She would not keep it a secret from him, after all they had been through last night.

"I ran into him once before."

"Did he make a pass at you?" Arthur asked affirmatively.

"A little." Lucia's smile deepened. For a long time, she had not felt Arthur's jealousy so directly.

"Isn't that funny?" Arthur asked as he suddenly put his hand on Lucia's cheek.

"Yeah." Lucia didn't deny it, but she moved her face closer to Arthur's palm. His palm was warm and comfortable. Squinting like a kitten, Lucia smiled,

"I haven't seen you being jealous in a long time."

Arthur didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that, but Lucia laughed so... yummily. He suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips gently. Looking at her smiling eyes, he said helplessly, "Don't tease me." owns this.

Jealousy can be stifling.

Lucia smiled and said,

"The question that Casper just asked was not unintentional or curious. Nia is very close to him. How is it possible that he has never heard of us? He asked in front of us on purpose. I don't know what his intention is."

"I don't care about his intention," Arthur said, frowning in disgust at Casper's seemingly harmless face.

"I will not spare anyone who covets you."

"Then you'll be busy," said Lucia with a witty wink.

"I do." Bending over to kiss Lucia's lips, Arthur sighed in his heart. It was really happy to be able to express his feelings openly

Lucia had something to say, but Arthur sealed it with the kiss, and she couldn't get out of it. She had to go with him, and nothing else mattered.

In the hallway, Nia walked quickly ahead, ignoring Jacob behind her.

Jacob chuckled to himself and followed, asking:

"What are you angry about?"

"Why did you say those things on purpose when you told me so yourself..." Nia turned and glared at Jacob unhappily.

"I was giving them a hard time. Why are you so angry?" Jacob said nonchalantly.

Nia pursed her lips, thinking to herself. Was he just trying to be difficult? When he looked at Lucia, he was so focused, even kids noticed something was wrong!

Of course Jacob knew what Nia was thinking. He wanted her to have doubts so that she would feel threatened and more attached to him and take orders from him.

"Never mind," finally, Nia said as if she had given up, "I can't control you anyway."

"Come on, don't be mad..."

Just as Jacob was about to say something to Nia, the elevator door in front of them suddenly opened. The people who came out were Spencer and his men. They can't avoid their enemy

Nia raised her eyebrows as soon as she saw Spencer. She was feeling suffocated, but she didn't expect the punching bag to come to her. Besides, she hadn't had a chance to get even with him for the last time he leaked secrets to Miles behind her back.

"Isn't that Mr. Davies?"

Spencer had already seen them, and his eyes were so full of disgust that he didn't even bother to talk to her.

This morning, Spencer got word that the fact that Lucia was in the hospital had been leaked in Athegate. Rumor had it that he physically assaulted her. Now Spencer was having a hard time with that, so he had come to question Lucia if she had provoked the controversy.

"Why," Nia said out loud when she saw Spencer trying to walk past her without a word. She didn't want to miss the opportunity to taunt him.

"Do I look like I don't exist now? Spencer, you don't seem like the kind of guy to shoot a man in the back."

Spencer stopped in his tracks and slowly turned to face the Nia, his eyes full of gloom.

"Nia, are you challenging me?"

"I wouldn't dare," Nia pretended. "I just wanted to let you know that MS. Webb is being protected by a chaperone, so you don't want to get in the way of that. You might as well figure out how to smooth things over."
