Chapter 159
Chapter 159
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. It was already the 22th day of the 12th lunar month, approaching the end of the year.
Lucy and Arthur didn't quarrel. They treated each other as if they were guests. It was as if there was a transparent wall between them. Whenever he wanted to take a step forward, she would use this wall to forcefully block him outside.
Even if he got drunk twice later, she did not do anything absurd with him. They lived together, but their hearts seemed to be separated by a deep and bottomless cliff.
In the morning, Arthur finished his meal and went to the company. Meanwhile, Lucy and Kylah had already gone to the mall.
"Well, your belly is getting bigger and bigger. What are you going to do?" Kylah had already looked at her belly a few times. It wasn't obvious if she wasn't paying attention, but when she looked at it carefully, she could tell that it was quite obvious.
Lucy caressed his stomach and sighed. "It might be possible for him to stay in the Johnson family and live like this for the rest of his life."
She couldn't go back to the past with Arthur, but as long as he didn't do anything particularly excessive, she was willing to stay with the two children.
The children were too young. She wanted them to live a happy life in their childhood, instead of living under the shadow of single-parent children.
"That's fine as well." Kylah poked her stomach. "No matter how well you live on your own, it's not like giving your child a warm home."
"Baby, this isn't like what you said!" Lucy said with a smile.
Kylah was already feeling guilty for a moment. Then, she raised her brows and said, "I'm almost thirty years old, after all. I still understand this bit of logic!"
The two of them chatted and walked into a clothing store for pregnant women. Lucy's belly grew bigger and bigger. It was no longer suitable for her to wear her old clothes.
However, it was a narrow road for enemies.
Lucy looked at Lizbeth and Elyse, who were picking out clothes. She grabbed Kylah's hand and walked out. When she saw the two of them, she felt disgusted.
"Ms. Morgan, please wait a moment." Ruby's eyes lit up. She quickly chased after her and stopped Lucy. She had tried seducing Mr. Johnson, but had failed. She had almost been thrown out of the company. Right now, she was planning to start from Ms. Morgan's side.
Lucy's expression was calm, but her clenched fists betrayed her emotions. "What is it?"
"Can't I look for you if there's nothing else?" Lizbeth threw the clothes in her hand to the waiter and walked in front of her with a twisted face. "You stole the position of Mrs. Sheng and became a dignified mistress. Why don't you let someone talk to you?"
She had thought that Arthur liked Elyse so much that he would dump Lucy right after Ruby appeared!
Who knew that Arthur would guard Lucy like a ghost and wouldn't let go of her!
Lucy's face went rigid. His throat seemed to be stuffed with a lump of cotton, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"What the hell do you know!" Kylah placed her hands on her hips. "Elyse has been dead for four years, and Lucy is with Mr. Johnson. What kind of mistress is this?"
"If it weren't for the fact that Lucy resembled Elyse, Arthur wouldn't have taken a fancy to her! Arthur has always liked Elyse. Now that Elyse is back, Lucy should return Mrs. Johnson's position to Elyse!" Lizbeth stared at Lucy fiercely, trying to scratch her face.
Hearing this, Kylah burst into an uproar. "Why are you giving up the position of Mrs. Johnson? If Mr. Johnson still likes Elyse, he would have been with Elyse a long time ago. You don't need to talk nonsense here."
Both of them were full of confidence in their argument. In addition, Lucy and Ruby looked exactly the same, so they soon attracted a large number of onlookers.
Lucy didn't want to be surrounded like a monkey. He tugged at the corner of Kylah's clothes and shook his head.
"Ms. Morgan, I didn't want to say anything, but there are some things that I have to say." Ruby was worried that Lucy would leave, so she quickly said, " Arthur said that he chose you because you gave birth to a son for him. Your son doesn't want you to leave, and he doesn't want your son to be sad."
When he heard this, the redness on Lucy's face completely disappeared. He subconsciously grabbed Kylah's hand, and his heart was full of holes.
Kylah had already yelled at Ruby, "Shut the f*ck up!"
"I'm sorry, I have to tell you the truth." Ruby slowed her voice. "Ms. Morgan, it's unfair for me to know the truth, but it's really painful for Arthur to be with you because of his son."
"He still loves me and wants me to be the president's secretary in the Johnson family. But because of you, we want to be closer, so we can only sneak in. Ms. Morgan, Arthur and I really love each other. Please help us."
After saying that, Ruby knelt on the ground without warning. Her eyes were full of tears and she looked very pitiful.
She knew that she was very shameless, but for the sake of Grandma's surgical fee, she had to do this!
Lucy bit his lips, breathing heavily, as if he was a fish that was being roasted to death by the sun on the ground.
During this period of time, she had tried her best to forget about Elyse's existence, but she was just lying to herself!
Lizbeth glanced at the onlookers, pointed at Lucy and shouted, "This woman tried her best to climb into my friend's bed because she looked exactly the same as my friend! The two of them really love each other, but she insisted on taking advantage of the child to interfere. Everyone said that she was
detestable."
She hated Nick so much, but she was threatened by him and had to give birth to a baby for him. This was all caused by her!
She wanted Lucy to pay the price and make her wish she was dead!
"She's so beautiful. What's wrong with her? Why does she have to be a mistress?"
"He wants to threaten men with a child. I've seen so many mistresses like him!"
"As women, they hate mistresses the most. There are so many bachelors in the world. Why do they keep an eye on other men? Shame on them!"
Most of the onlookers were women. As soon as they heard that Lucy was a mistress, they immediately complained, and their saliva almost splashed on the faces of the people next to them.
"God, I'm not asking you to slander me! Believe it or not, I'll sue you for slandering me if you slander me like this!" Kylah was already fuming with anger at this group of people.
Lucy pursed her lips and glanced at Ruby who was kneeling on the ground. With a pale face, she pushed the crowd away and left the encirclement.
Kylah had already caught up with her. "But Elyse is just talking nonsense. She doesn't have any evidence. Don't listen to her nonsense. This bunch of people doesn't know anything either. They're just following suit. Don't bother with them!"
However, since she was pregnant, it was best not to be overjoyed and furious.
"Kylah, I want to go back to Lindbarry Chateau first." Lucy's mind was in a mess. He was no longer in the mood to shop in the mall.
Two months ago, Arthur told her that Elyse was no longer the president's secretary. Why did Elyse say that she was the president's secretary today?
Did Arthur really... care about Caden's feelings when he was with her?
Seeing that she had lost her wits, Kylah was already afraid that something might happen to her on the way. "I'll take you there." This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Lucy didn't refuse, his forehead covered in sweat.
...
Kylah had already sent Lucy to Lindbarry Chateau and had repeatedly instructed her not to think too much before driving back.
Many servants had gone home to celebrate the new year. At present, only Aunty Julianne and two other servants were in the Lindbarry Chateau.
"Mrs. Johnson?" Aunty Julianne was very surprised. "You went to the mall and came back so soon?"
They had only walked for less than half an hour.
