Chapter 464
The light in August's eyes darkened and his face was full of anxiety He immediately caught up with her and said coldly.
"Lucia, we've signed the contract. It's not your call to stop the film."
Taking a deep breath, Lucia replied, "I'll compensate you for the liquidated damages.”
August walked up to her quickly and said coldly, "I don't want any liquidated damages.”
Balling her fists together, Lucia gnashed her teeth and asked, "Then what do you want?!"
Looking at the woman's eyes as bright as stars, August's throat tightened and he said in a deep voice, "lI want you to stay
Five years ago, he had experienced the feeling of loss once, and now, he didn't want to experience it again
Lucia was slightly stunned. Two seconds later, she sneered, “August, are you out of your mind? In what identity do you want me to stay? Have you forgotten that you already have a lover?”
August took a deep breath and blurted out, "Jeanne was only my nominal wife"
Lucia's mind instantly went blank.
A few seconds later, she slowly came to her senses.
How was this possible?
The marriage between her and August was normal indeed, but how could that happen to Jeanney and August? Furthermore, he was so protective of Jeanne. How could he...
Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her shoulder. August held her shoulder tightly, straightened her body, and let her look into his eyes. “Lucia, you still get feelings for me, right?"
His words were like an electric shock that caused Lucia's body to go numb. For a moment, she was speechless
After a while, she suddenly came to her senses and pushed him away subconsciously. She shook her head and said, "No, you're overthinking that!"
As she spoke, she took two steps back and tumed to escape. However, before she could take a step forward, she heard August ask, "Then how could you explain that?"
She turned around and when she saw the item in his hand, her face instantly turned deathly pale.
It was a bookmark that she had made herself and kept in her playbook! The embroidery on it was the word August, his name!
Back in the Amecan, when she was about to give birth, she would always think of him. Later, when she was bored and stabbing embroidery, she made a handmade bookmark like this, and his name was embroidered on it at that time
Later, she was used to this bookmark and did not change it, but to her surprise, August saw it! "Where did you get it?"
"When I went to the set, Director Brook packed all your stuff into a suitcase and I saw it by accident.”
August came up to her, holding the bookmark in his slender fingers, looked at her, and said, "Lucia Mitchell, don't say it's not yours.”
Instantly, Lucia got blushed. She flew into a rage and tried to snatch the bookmark back.
That was the secret she wanted to hide, but now he found it out!
August deftly avoided her hand and said, "Lucia, stay here with me.”
He still had a lot to say to her, and a lot to do with her, so she couldn't leave, at least not at this time.
Lucia was so angry that her body trembled slightly after trying several times to grab the bookmark. Hearing the man's words, she frowned and stood on her tiptoes to reach out again to grab it. Unexpectedly, she slipped and suddenly fell to the side. When she was about to fall to the ground, she suddenly felt someone had held her on her waist and pulled her back
When she looked up and saw the man's black and deep eyes, her heart tightened and pounded faster.
August took a deep breath and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes. "Stay with me."
For a moment, Lucia was a little hesitant, but when she thought of Paula's car accident, she immediately sobered up The hight in her eyes darkened and she said coldly, "August, is it fun to lie?"
If it really was as he had said, and he and Jeanne were just a nominal couple, why would he help her cover up her crimes?
Men were all lies! She shouldn't have believed him from the very beginning!
August said seriously, "I've never lied to you."
Heaning this, Lucia became even angrier. She tried to push him away, but the man's arms were wrapped tightly around her waist like iron.
"Let me go!" Lucia frowned and said,
August verbatim said, "You have to promise me first."
She gritted her teeth and said, "There's no way I'm staying! Even less likely to stay for you!" August lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then I won't let you go.”
This time, even if he was called a rogue by her, he would not let her go."
"You..."
Lucia was so angry that her body trembled. She couldn't push him away, nor could she argue with him. She looked down and saw the man’s arm that was so close to her. Suddenly, she bit him on his arm
This time, she didn't pay attention to controlling her strength, so she clearly felt that the man's body stiffened, and the hand holding her got tight.
She opened her mouth and saw the two rows of clear teeth marks on the man’s arm. Suddenly, she felt wronged in her heart. and burst into tears.
The only man who could make her completely helpless was August!
Finally, she took a deep breath and let go I promise you"
At this point, she seemed to have no choice. If she did not give in, August would probably keep holding her forever
She could promise him first. After all, he couldn't send people to monitor her 24*7.
August looked at her and warned, “Lucia, don't lie to me, or there will be a consequence
Lucia nodded "Alright, I promise you.”
Only then did the man let go.
Feeling relieved, Lucia replied, "I will be staying with Paula these days, and Director Brook will be in charge of the film. He can handle it by himself"
After that, without waiting for August's answer, she took two steps back to distance herself from him and said, "I'll go back first"
After that, she quickly turned around and left.
As she walked forward, she could feel that August was staring at her. Finally, she walked into the inpatient department,
made a few turns, and rushed into the ladies’ room Only then did she let out a long sigh of relief
First, she tricked August into staying with him. As for whether she would leave or stay in the future, it was not up to him to decide Suddenly, the cell phone in her pocket rang. She nervously took out the phone. When she saw that it was from Mrs. Mitchell, she pressed the answer button
“Hello, Mom."
“Lucia, Janet has a fever You should take time to come back today. Mrs. Mitchell said worriedly
Lucia's heart instantly constricted when she heard this
Janet was fine when she saw her this morning, so how come she suddenly had a fever?
Lucia did not dare to delay. She immediately agreed and drove home. When she got home, she walked to Janet's bedroom and saw Mrs Mitchell coming out with a cup
"Mom, how is Janet? Why didn't you send her to the hospital?"
it's not good for children to go to the hospital and get an infusion! I called the family doctor and prescribed fever-reducing medicine, and I ve already led her
Hearing Janet had already taken the medicine, Lucia calmed down a little. “Then Il go check on her."
As s00n as she walked in, Ms. Mitchell stretched out her hand and grabbed her arm. With a serious face, she said, "Lucia, don't go in yet There's something I want to ask you."
“Sure mom, what thing?"
Ms Mitchell was confused, "I heard Shasha keep talking about a handsome uncle. Who is he? Do you know him?"
