Chapter 65
Chapter 65
"Who...who is it?" Lizbeth looked back a few times, but there were so many pedestrians that she couldn't tell who was spying on her.
She didn't think she was mistaken, but she didn't feel scared either.
She was such a beautiful and classy woman. Since when had she left a bar without people following her? Hah, what a bunch of horny men!
Lizbeth stopped looking back and stumbled to her car to unlock the doors.
However, the moment she unlocked the doors, two men rushed forward, opened the doors to the backseat, and got into the car. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In the end, Lucy went back to the Figueroa family as she wished. However, Arthur and Chad went along with her uninvited. They stayed from morning till seven o'clock in the evening and had no intention of leaving.
"Arthur, sorry for the trouble these few days. I'm sure there is lots of business you have to deal with at the office?" Lucy frowned, politely dismissing her guests.
She had not seen Caden in nearly half a month. If they did not leave, she dared not see Caden!
"Nope." Arthur sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, making the ordinary sofa look like a throne.
Chad said cheerfully, "I'm not bragging, but Arthur is great at everything, especially looking through documents! He can spot the issue with just two glances while other people need more than an hour!"
Arthur must have saved the world in his past life to be blessed with such a good friend like Chad!
Lucy wanted to say something, but Mrs. Figueroa came out in an apron and said with a smile, "Dinner is ready. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shaffer, if you don't mind, you can join us for dinner."
"What a great pleasure to be invited." Arthur stood up with a look of sincerity on his handsome face.
Chad's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Arthur was handsome and good with words, how cool!
Mrs. Figueroa smiled from ear to ear. "Not only are you handsome, but you're also so good with words. You even have a good temper. Lucy, how lucky you are to be married to Mr. Johnson!"
Arthur was totally different from how Kylah described him!
"Mrs. Figueroa, not only are you beautiful, but you're also a great cook. If I didn't have Lucy, I would surely pursue you." Arthur looked quite expressionless, but his manners were impeccable. Mrs. Figueroa liked what she heard.
Mrs. Figueroa covered her mouth and smiled as brightly as the sun. She didn't even notice when Mr. Figueroa coughed twice.
Kylah crept up to Lucy and said blankly, "Lucy, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Is that man complimenting my mom really Arthur?"
"...Yes." Lucy had never seen Arthur like this. Or rather, ever since she was hospitalized, she had felt that Arthur was a completely different person.
Although he still looked indifferent all the time, he was very thoughtful. He was nothing like the Arthur from five years ago.
Kylah rested her chin on her hand and seemed to be lost in thought. "To be honest, he's not bad how he is now... It's just that he's too partial to Lizbeth!"
Lucy pursed her lips and said nothing.
It was fortunate that Arthur was partial to Lizbeth. Otherwise, if he treated her so well, she was not sure if she would be able to reject him firmly!
"Why are you two still standing there? Come and help me with the dishes. It's dinner time!" Mrs. Figueroa called out to them.
"I'm coming!" Feeling that her hair was in the way, Lucy tied it up and quickly walked to the kitchen.
Kylah sneaked a few glances at Arthur and muttered, "Could he be possessed?"
She went to the kitchen while muttering to herself.
"Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shaffer, please." Mr. Figueroa stood up and invited them to the dining room.
The dining room was right next to the kitchen. While Lucy was busying herself in the kitchen, she felt
an intense gaze fixed on her.
She cast a subtle glance outside and coincidentally met Arthur's gaze.
Arthur's eyes were filled with a naked look of possessiveness and gentleness. His intense affection for her pulled her into a whirlpool of love.
Thump!
Lucy's heart skipped a beat and began to beat frantically. She couldn't control it at all!
"Lucy, what are you looking at?" Kylah came up to her holding a bowl of mushroom soup and nudged Lucy with her butt.
Lucy withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly. "Nothing."
She wouldn't let herself fall in love with Arthur a second time!
"Nothing," Kylah imitated Lucy's tone and rolled her eyes. "Lucy, don't be foolish! Arthur's bad news, and if you give in to him now, you're going to suffer next time!"
"Shoo! Hurry up and bring the dishes outside! You're bad influence to a good girl like Lucy!" Mrs. Figueroa slapped Kylah on her butt.
With a snort, Kylah threw her head back and walked away.
"Lucy." Mrs. Figueroa stopped smiling. "Don't listen to Kylah's nonsense. Think about what you want for
yourself. I feel like Mr. Johnson's not too bad!"
"Yes, I know." Lucy smiled and flashed her dimples. Then, she went out holding a plate of food.
Mrs. Figueroa watched her go and sighed.
Lucy had such a difficult life, and she wished that Lucy would find herself a good man and lead a good life.
However, things didn't look good between Lucy and Mr. Johnson!
The dishes had all been served, and Arthur, Chad, and Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa had all taken their seats. There were two empty seats left.
Kylah raised an eyebrow and headed towards the seat between Arthur and Mrs. Figueroa.
As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Figueroa gave her a look and said, "This is Lucy's seat. Go sit with your father!"
"Mom—"
"You don't want that sports car anymore, do you?"
Kylah immediately shut up and shot Lucy a helpless look. Then, she reluctantly took the seat between Mr. Figueroa and Chad.
Lucy silently sat down beside Arthur. She tucked a few loose strands of hair behind her ear and ate
quietly.
"Kylah, I told you that nothing's worse than ruining two people's relationship. Why must you keep getting in between Arthur and Lucy?" Chad complained softly.
Kylah pushed his head away and said in horror, "Are you possessed? Were you trying to kiss me in front of my dad?"
Getting in between?
Bah, she wasn't some mistress!
"I..." Just as Chad was about to explain, he got a sharp look from Mr. Figueroa.
"Kylah, take my seat." Mr. Figueroa stood up and switched seats with Kylah, eyeing Chad warily.
Mrs. Figueroa glanced at Chad, thinking that he was a sweet-talker. He was nowhere as honest as Mr. Johnson!
Chad was speechless at being judged as Kylah's future husband for no reason.
'Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa, you're really mistaken!' He thought.
Under normal circumstances, Lucy would have been interested in watching the show, but Arthur was right beside her, and she really couldn't find the mood.
She ate mechanically, her mind filled with thoughts of Caden. She hadn't seen him in ages.
This was the longest time she had been away from her son!
While her thoughts were everywhere, a shrimp suddenly appeared on her plate.
