Chapter 851 Mutual Exploration
Casper didn't expect Lucia to be so straightforward. After nodding to everyone, he walked out of the cabin first, and Lucia followed immediately, leaving everyone waiting, especially Nia, who was extremely embarrassed.
"Mr. Wood, is there anything you want to talk to me alone?" Walking not far from the cabin, Casper glanced sideways at the door of the cabin, as if to see if anyone came out. So Lucia stood still and took the initiative to ask the question.
"Ms. Webb, Dan's not dead. He's still on the boat, you know that?" Casper asked Lucia after confirming that no one followed.
While talking, Casper was seriously looking at Lucia, seeing that her complexion was rosy and her breath had recovered. She recovered so quickly after only one night. He felt a little bit jealous. Probably it was Arthur's credit.
"So what?"
"He has intentions for you. You'd better be careful." Casper reminded her kindly.
"You don't have to worry about this. He committed a lot of murders. If he is found out, he will be sentenced to death or life imprisonment. After getting off the ship, I will never meet him again in this life." Lucia said indifferently.
"That's good..." Casper responded perfunctorily.
"You called me out alone to talk about this?" Lucia asked Casper directly, frowning slightly.
"Uh..." Casper hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, as if in distress, "No, and about Spencer ..."
"Are you worried that we'll go after you for shooting him?" Lucia asked.
"Although this is on the high seas, ..." Casper originally wanted to sound Lucia's tone, but he went along with her. "Don't worry. We won't pursue this matter, besides..." Lucia stared at Casper with sparkling eyes and said,
"You saved my life."
Lucia brought this up on purpose, just to see how Casper would react.
Casper smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words, and said he should do so. Such a reaction was not abrupt, but it was also a little unreal.
"I appreciate you," Lucia said, looking at Casper, "but there's one thing I'm curious about."
"Curious?" Casper's eyes lit up, and after seeing Lucia staring at him, he repeated calmly, "It's rare that you're curious about me."
Lucia smiled slightly, and suddenly asked after the smile,
"After killing Spencer, you don't seem to panic at all."
Finally, he realized that Lucia was testing him, and Casper's competitive spirit was stimulated instead. He wanted to test her tone, but he didn't expect that she had the same intention, and Casper's bad taste was picked up.
"Ms. Webb, you know that I admire you very much, and I wholeheartedly hope that you can escape from danger. Given the situation you were in at the time, I believe that anyone would choose to shoot to save you, but... I am also a little curious. Why did Mr. Davies seem hesitant? If not, I am afraid it would not be my turn to shoot."
Lucia remained silent, just looked at Casper with the corners of her lips curled up, but there was no smile in her eyes.
Answering irrelevant questions to provoke her?
Casper was not embarrassed but looked back at Lucia with a slight smile, and the two of them broke off the topic for a while, as if they were playing a silent game with their eyes.
Lucia wondered what Spencer knew about Casper, and Casper wondered whether Lucia knew anything from Spencer.
The last one to break the silence was Casper, who smiled and said,
"Ms. Webb, being able to successfully rescue you this time is already the best result. If you are still curious about me, you are welcome to find me at any time."
"I will." Lucia replied reluctantly.
The conversation ended here, and the two returned to the cabin together. As soon as Nia saw Casper, she walked towards him immediately, and the two politely said goodbye to everyone before leaving. As soon as they left, Arthur put his arms around Lucia's waist and asked,
"Is he testing you?"
"Testing each other," Lucia said with a smile. "He knows that Spencer must have said something to me, but he is not sure whether it is related to him, and to what extent. We must investigate this matter clearly."
"Okay," Arthur said with a smile, "we'll talk about it later."
After Casper and his men left, except for the crew of the cargo ship, Arthur and his men were all there. Everyone was not in a hurry. After all, everyone was exhausted during this period of time. In addition, Sophie had just had an operation, so they returned with the cargo ship.
Five days later, the cargo ship arrived at the seaport nearby. Kyle led a group of his men and the convoy had been waiting there for a long time.
After the freighter docked, Arthur and his group disembarked one after another. Lucia walked beside Arthur with the baby in her arms. Otis hugged Helena. Sophie recovered well and was able to walk on her own now. She and Esmae walked together arm in arm. Their husbands could only follow behind. Seeing their intimacy, the two had doting and helpless smiles on their faces. Reynolds and Shawn followed and got off the boat one by one.
"Mr. And Mrs. Davies, I'm here to pick you up." Kyle greeted Edwin and Sophie as soon as he saw them, and Lucia was the second to be looked.
"Ms. Webb, great, you're all right!"
"Thank you for your concern." Lucia smiled brightly. These days, Arthur tried his best to use the supplies on the cargo ship to nourish her. Lucia, who was haggard before, had long since recovered her spirited appearance. If not all the bruises on her body had not disappeared, everything that happened before was really like a nightmare.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"Sir, everything is ready. Do you want to go back right away or rest here first?" Kyle asked Arthur then.
Arthur raised his eyebrows slightly.
Kyle was worthy of being Arthur's personal assistant. When he saw him raise his eyebrows, he immediately had a courteous smile, and almost nodded and rubbed his hands.
"Sir, how do you plan the next itinerary?"
Arthur glanced at Kyle's fawning look, amused, but he still consulted his elders first.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Chris, Auntie," he had already changed address after Lucia, "what do you think?"
Edwin walked up to Sophie. The two looked at each other, and then said,
"Let's wait for Elliot to decide."
While talking, everyone looked back, only then did they see Elliot and Erik walking off the boat together. Over the past few days, Erik had become quite old, with almost grey hair on both sides. He looked like Elliot's elder brother. His eyes were blurred, and Elliot had to help him to move forward.
Elliot led Erik off the cargo ship after everyone else. Erik kept his head down, not sure if he lost his mind or was afraid to face Edwin and the Brown family.
