Chapter 44
Chapter 44 Intimacy
“Okay Mom, it’s getting late You should go get some rest” Arthur did not need to think twice about his mother’s intentions when
he saw her smiling eyes. He was, of course, anxious for Lucia and Theodore to meet the rest of the family, but he did not want to
make it difficult for Lucia
Arthur knew his mother, but Sophie also knew her son very well. When she heard him tell her to go back, she knew that he was
afraid that she might force Lucia again. So, she could only sigh and stand up to say to him “Okay, let’s go back home” “Mom, let
me get you down here.” Arthur stood up, too, and said naturally “Aren’t you going back? Sophie thought he was going back to
the villa with her
“I haven’t seen my son in two days. I want to spend more time with him. Arthur said to Sophie with a smile.
“You want to spend time with your son? I think you just want to spend time with your wife!”
Sure enough, the wile was always more important than the mother
Sophie thought that hersell. But she also wanted her son lo spend more time with his girlfriend and son, so she did not stay
longer After saying goodbye to Lucia, she asked him to send her to Jan
“Jan, it’s foggy tonight. Be careful when you drive.” Arthur stood beside the car and said to Jan, who was in the driver’s seat.
Although Jan had been a driver for many years, Arthur still reminded him. “Got it. Mr Arthur,” Jan replied with a smile.
Arthur was about to leave when Sophie stopped him “Arthur, there’s something else I want to tell you.” Arthur obediently opened
the door and got in the car. He sat down next to his mother and listened to what she had to say to him
“I need you to talk to Lucia more these days.” Sophie talked like she was a psychologist “You know what Lucia’s worried about
Even if she doesn’t mind the rumours, she may mind that she was divorced. That child is innocent, and that’s why she’s afraid to
meet your father and your family, and it’s your job to persuade her. We’re all reasonable, and I’ll help you talk to the others. The
most important thing is to let Lucia understand it hersell.”
“I got you.” Arthur listened carefully and nodded “And Theodore doesn’t know you’re his father yet. This is something you should
discuss with Lucia if you want to make it clear to him. Theodore is very clever. He asked me if you were dating Lucia the other
say. Although usually he is just playing around with us, he will listen to us. He took some words to heart, too Don’t leave such a
young child in doubt “Well, don’t worry about Theodore Lucia and I will clear it with him when we get the chance.” “Okay.” Sophie
was relieved to have her worries explained to her son, so she started to tell him, “Go be with your wife and son I’m going back to
rest.”
“Okay.” Arthur answered quietly. Arthur watched Sophie leave until the car disappeared in the thick log in the middle of the winter
night, then he turned back to the apartment He took the elevator and reached the door of his house. The door opened by itself.
Lucia looked out, saw Arthur, and smiled, “What took you so long?” Luca was worried about him, and Arthur smiled when he
realized it. He took Lucia in his arms and went back into the warm house and replied. “I just talked to my mom. She’s worried
about you.” Sitting back on the sofa with Arthur, Lucia said apologetically. “I also know what Sophie is thinking, but I really don’t
want to meet your family in this way.”
This silly woman
Arthur thought as he took Lucia into his arms lovingly and put his chin on her forehead.
“I know how you feel. You know, when I was at the press conference today, I wanted to tell them who Theodore’s father is, but
that would only prove that i was the man who was in your room five years ago, and it couldn’t prove that we were not together
back then it couldn’t prove you wetent having an affair. So..” Lucia frowned at the words She didn’t expect Arthur to think so
much about her He wanted to make it public because he wanted to clarify the rumors about her five years ago, but he was
troubled by the lack of evidence if she could prove her innocence, she would not be so embarrassed tonight when Sophie
mentioned going to New York for Christmas. These tungs were closely related while she was minding her own business, Arthur
had thought of every possibility for her.
This lund of touching feeling was really beyond words Lucia responded to his embrace, whispering in her heart “Arthur, thank
you.” Not aware of Lucas subtle emotions, Arthur tightened his arms when she tried to hug him back so that she could
comfortably stay in his arms.
Then he continued. “Morn mentioned sonething earlier, something we missed.” “What is #7” Luodatked Arthur, looking up
Arthur’s chin had been down on her forehead, and when Lucia lifted her head, his chin slipped onto the top of her noe
It was even and there was a thin stubble on Arthur’s chuin that tickled the tip of Lucia’s nose. It was so pleasant and fun that
Lucia couldn’t resist rubbing the tip of her nose against Arthur’s chin
Ambur was about to answer Lucia when he noticed that she was gently rubbing his chin. He looked down and saw that Lucia
was squintina slightly, moving her head with satisfaction
waped Lucia tohtly and rubbed her back with his hands. Arthur really didn’t know how to get rid of the emotions that were rushing
through his hean except in this way Lucia did not know why Arthur suddenly hugged her silently, but she liked the feeling of
being close to each other. But, however much she liked it. Arthur’s increasing pressure was beginning to wear on her, and she
said in a whisper
“Hey, Arthur, I’m choking..” Arthur was shocked and realized what he had done. He quickly releaseds his hand to check Lucia’s
condition. He saw that her body was soft, her little lace was Nushed, and her eyes began to burst into lears So, he quickly kissed
her on the forehead and apologized. “I’m sorry I hugged you too hard.”
Lucia was a little dazed because of the lack of oxygen Hearing Arthur’s apology. Lucia smiled back at him, which made Arthur
feel very excited again. This time, he resirained himself a little, hugged Lucia again, and sighed helplessly How could she just flirt
with him so easily? Lucia slowly returned to normal. She remembered what they had said before and said, “Arthur, what else did
Sophie remind you of?”
