Chapter 920
Chapter 620 Late Cherry Blossoms in Bloom
"Okay, isn't it just to attend her birthday party? There's no need to keep mentioning her. I'll go find my old friend and make a connection." Miles knew that Nia had something meaningful in her words, and Casper hid his knife with a smile, so he took the opportunity to take Libby away from the two to catch his breath.
"Casper, you just let him take Libby away like this? What if they take the opportunity to escape?" Watching Miles hurriedly hide Libby among the guests, Nia asked secretly with a wine glass. "What are you afraid of?" Casper said with a dark smile, "His son is still in my hands."
Nia glanced sideways at Casper who was confident when she heard the words, and she didn't know what Casper was threatening Miles with until now, because Casper never mentioned it to her before. He had already raised his guard against her, so Nia would not force anything, but just smiled lightly, pretending not to care.
When pretending to be weak, she must be extremely well-behaved.
The dinner went smoothly, and the guests kept cheering. Everything Arthur prepared for them was top-notch, even the simplest tableware was carefully selected, just to give Lucia a perfect birthday party, and he did it.
The night wind blew, and the fragrance of flowers was refreshing. Slight drunkenness, everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Edwin and Sophie finally returned to Lucia and Arthur after dealing with waves of guests, while Esmae and Helena took care of the baby and Theodore. With Theodore, a smart little adult, they were surrounded by a group of people, and the meaning of fawning was self-evident.
"Edwin, Sophie, thank you for your hard work." Lucia felt a little guilty. She knew that if the protagonist of the dinner was not herself, Edwin and Sophie would not have to have unnecessary entertainment with others when they returned home.
"Why are you being polite to us?" Sophie knew that Lucia was sensible, but she still couldn't help belittling her for being out of touch.
Lucia smiled slightly, and couldn't help holding Sophie's hand. Although she didn't have time to experience too much maternal love in this life, Sophie and Esmae had made up for the shortcoming, and she knew that there will be no shortage in the future.
"Mom, Dad, you can go with us later. No one dares to disturb you by my side." Arthur suggested very pragmatically.
Sophie was dumbfounded and had to worry about the interpersonal relationship of her son, so she couldn't help but say,
"Arthur, you'd better be gentle."
"No need." Arthur replied very calmly.
This time even Edwin couldn't help but laugh that Arthur deserved to be their son.
While the four of them were chatting, a man who didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the scene walked into the crowd. He was wearing a gray uniform and was walking through the crowd with a huge bouquet of lavender flowers in his hand. Restrained, he asked the attendant a few words from time to time, and it seemed that he was looking for someone.
Finally, an attendant who had just served Lucia and the others responded to the man's question and led him all the way to the center of the venue, where Lucia was.
"Ms. Webb," the attendant led the man behind Lucia and said politely to her, "This is the employee of HelpDeliver, and he said he's entrusted to send you flowers."
Lucia turned her back to them at this time, and when she heard the attendant's words, she slowly turned around, and the next moment, she saw the bouquet of flowers held in the man's hand. It was a whole bouquet of lavender late cherry blossoms. The simple petals were very ordinary, without the nobility of roses, and without the purity of lilies, but when Lucia saw it, her whole body froze instantly. Her eyes widened involuntarily, as if she saw something terrible.
Arthur immediately noticed that something was wrong with Lucia. He turned and walked to her side, seeing her side face and seeing her eyes widen, fixed on the bouquet of flowers.
Was there anything unusual about this bouquet?
With a thought, Arthur put his arms around Lucia's waist, and found that her body was too stiff, so he immediately asked the man,
"Is this a birthday present for the host of the banquet?"
"Yes," the man answered honestly, wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously under Arthur's gloomy gaze, and continued,
"I received an order requesting that the flowers be delivered here on time. Can anyone of you sign for me?"
Arthur was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Lucia beside him moved violently. The next second, she broke away from his embrace and rushed towards the man, and grabbed the man's collar in front of everyone regardless of her appearance and shouted sharply,
"Who asked you to send it?! Where is that person?!"
No one expected that Lucia would do such a violent act, especially the man who gave flowers. He was grabbed by the collar and saw Lucia's exquisite face in front of him. He replied,
"I don't even know who that person is..."
"Lucia, what's wrong?" Arthur was worried about Lucia's reaction. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, trying to help the man break free, but found that Lucia's hand was tightly clutching his collar. The blue veins were faintly visible on the back of her hand. Obviously she was in a state of extreme excitement.
Edwin and Sophie were also worried, and the surrounding guests had already noticed the abnormality, and they all looked this way.
"Lucia?" Arthur called out again, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
Lucia seemed to have just heard Arthur's voice, but she didn't turn her head to respond to Arthur, and continued to stare at the man fiercely, and asked sharply again,
"Where did you receive this bouquet? Do you remember what that person looked like?!"
This time Lucia's voice was raised uncontrollably, and the surrounding guests were not just looking around, but started whispering. No one knew what happened, but they noticed Lucia's gaffe.
"I took the order at Hartfell Thoroughfare. As for what that person looks like, I really didn't pay attention to it. He's just an ordinary man..." The man just said this, and Lucia released the restraint the next second. He sighed to himself. How could this woman, who was so beautiful, be so fierce?
"Where is Hartfell Thoroughfare? Do you still have his phone number?!" Lucia didn't have the time to care about other people's reactions at this time. The bouquet in the man's hand was like a sharp knife in her heart, and she had to ask clearly now!NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
