Chapter 917 Tress For You
"I couldn't participate in the previous years, but I can be with her every moment in the future." His eyes chased after the woman he loved. Arthur's words were extremely soft, but his intention in them was unshakable.
"I didn't expect it to be restored to the way it was before," Esmae also had memories of this old house, but not deeply. She said with a smile, "Arthur, you've worked hard."
"It's not hard work. It's something that can be done with money." Arthur replied naturally, and the next second he saw the others laughing dumbfounded. And Eduard even patted him on the shoulder exaggeratedly.
"Arthur, you really deserve to be a straight man!"
Arthur looked puzzled. Why did he say that?
"It's best to be pragmatic." Esmae and Sophie exchanged glances, and she said with a smile, "The first time I met Lucia was in this house."
"Lucia must have been very cute when she was a child, right?" Bailey asked wickedly, causing Arthur to roll his eyes.
"She was very cute, but also very distressing." When she was thinking of the scene at that time, Esmae's eyes flashed with distress.
"I heard from her father that Lucia had just accepted the fact that her mother passed away, so when she saw me, she thought I was the new mother brought back by her father. And she walked from there at that time," Esmae pointed to the direction of the corridor and continued with a low voice,
"Her eyes were full of timidity, but she still walked up to me. When I knelt down and looked at her, she asked me carefully, 'are you my new mother...""
When she was speaking of this, Esmae's eyes turned red immediately. The little Lucia at that time was really distressing.
Through Esmae's words, everyone seemed to have seen that small, timid child who walked slowly with the longing for mother's love, but everyone knew that she didn't get the answer she wanted at that time. "Of course I can only tell her the truth. I'm just her father's friend. At that time, I could almost see the light in little Lucia's eyes dimming like that." Esmae said with a sob.
"So you treated Lucia later..." Sophie gently held her best friend's hand, and could understand why Esmae was so kind to Lucia.
"Well, so after I found out what happened to Lucia, I immediately came back and picked her up. Although I know that I will never be her real mother, I will not give her any less motherly love." Esmae said sternly.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
It turned out that Esmae not only loved Lucia, but also had a small sense of guilt. The upright people like Eduard and Juliana didn't fully understand Esmae's tyranny over Lucia at the beginning, but now they understood that it was love and responsibility made her do so.
Well, it was all over now.
The sunlight outside the window slowly penetrated into the house, taking away the sadness and injecting new vitality into this old house.
In the morning, Lucia took everyone to visit the entire Webbex manor. Theodore couldn't wait to move in. He was full of curiosity about everything here, but Arthur didn't stay long and reminded everyone to prepare for tonight's banquet. So, Lucia reluctantly left home.
Although she was reluctant to leave, Arthur had restored this manor for her, and it would always be there.
On the way back, Lucia leaned against Arthur all the time, looking at the way they came and feeling filled with emotion.
"Arthur, thank you so much. I didn't have the courage to go back by myself before..."
"Don't worry. I won't leave you alone in the future." Arthur said firmly with his arms around Lucia's shoulders.
Even if there was a ten-thousandth chance that she would feel lonely, Arthur would not let that happen.
"Fortunately, I met you at that time." Once again, Lucia couldn't help sighing. Having experienced betrayal, she knew how difficult it was to meet the right person.
"Mommy," before Arthur could say anything, Theodore on the side spoke again,
"You can thank me for that!"
After speaking, he raised his face proudly.
Arthur remembered what happened before, and couldn't help laughing, "You should indeed be thanked."
"Huh?" Lucia didn't know it until now. In fact, Arthur was the "backup boyfriend" chosen by her son in the beginning. Their meeting was by no means accidental, but planned by the clever little darling himself. Seeing Lucia's bewildered face, Theodore remembered that he was hiding it from his mother, so he smiled slyly and said to Arthur,
"Daddy, this is our secret."
"Well, secret." Arthur nodded in agreement, and the two even stamped their thumbs in front of Lucia.
"What..." Lucia was even more confused, and couldn't help but smile bitterly as she watched the tacit exchange of eyes between the father and son.
"Secret!" This time, Arthur and Theodore turned their heads and said to Lucia seriously at the same time. After speaking, the two were very grateful for the tacit understanding between each other. Lucia held the baby and muttered happily in her heart: baby, grow up quickly. Let's deal with them together.
The whole afternoon was a delicate time for ladies. Among the men, except Bailey who was extremely picky about dresses, everyone else had already prepared their dresses, while Lucia, Helena, Juliana, Daphne, Sophie and Esmae happily chose dresses and matched jewelry, having a great time chatting.
They were all exquisite beauties, and once they dressed up seriously, they were naturally gorgeous, especially Lucia, who was the protagonist tonight. And the dresses and jewelry she wore were all ordered by Arthur himself, so she was the last person to walk out of the dressing room.
When Lucia finished dressing and walked out of the dressing room, everyone was shocked by her beauty even though they knew her unparalleled beauty.
What Arthur chose for Lucia was a golden deep V plant-print starlight dress, which was sexy but not frivolous. Her already elegant temperament was brought to the extreme. The pair of silver star earrings on the ears looked very smart. In order to highlight the touch of charm, the makeup artist also specially put some glitter on her collarbone. When the light shone, each glitter reflected golden light and shadow, sparkling and elegant.
Lucia never chose heavy makeup to cover her face. At this time, her makeup was still light and elegant, but this was what highlighted her natural beauty. Just her red lips on a fair face was enough to charm all beings.
Seeing that everyone was obsessed with Lucia, Arthur cleared his cough with jealousy, and then walked towards Lucia after shocking everyone, with a soft light in his eyes.
"I'll braid your hair." Arthur said as he walked behind Lucia, with his hands already skillfully and gently tucking her dark locks.
