Chapter 127
Chapter 127
"I don't mean to discriminate against women. It's just that it's not easy for women to move around in society." Maddox thought that she was angry, so he quickly explained.
"Well, I have a deep understanding of this." Lucy had always been confused. A man was good-looking and was like a fish in water in the business world, but a woman was good-looking. Others would only doubt her strength. Why?
When she just started her business, countless bosses and Childes wanted her to be their lover!
They chatted for a while with each other about the management of the company and the management of the company.
"Didn't Mr. Johnson come with you?" Since she entered the house, Maddox had wanted to ask this question. If Caden was lost, wouldn't Mr. Johnson be worried?
Lucy took a sip of water and said bitterly, "He saw Elyse when he sent me to the airport."
The word "Elyse" was like a bomb, causing Maddox's mind to go blank!
He was stunned for a long time before he asked in disbelief, "Is she still alive? So Mr. Johnson went after her?"
Elyse was the bright moonlight in Mr. Johnson's heart, something that everyone in the upper class knew about.
Caden was confused when she heard that.
Who was Elyse?
"En." Lucy rubbed the spot between his eyebrows that were hurting and said with a bitter smile, "Senior, can you stop talking about this topic that makes me embarrassed?"
Her heart was in a mess.
"I'm afraid I can't. Lucy, what are you going to do now?" Maddox frowned.
A while ago, Mr. Johnson had just forced Lucy back to his side, but as soon as he saw Elyse, he threw her down. It was already very clear who Mr. Johnson had chosen between the two of them!
Lucy raised his head and released a breath of air, feeling both mentally and physically exhausted. "I don't plan on doing anything either. Since the main character has returned, as a substitute, I naturally have to give up my position."
Falling in love with Arthur was definitely the biggest disaster in her life!
Maddox frowned and said nothing. He did not know how to comfort her.
When he heard that she and Arthur were very happy, he had already decided to quit. However, Elyse suddenly came back and he had a chance to pursue Lucy again.
He should have been happy, but when he saw that she was sad, how could he be happy?
"It's rare to see you, so let's not talk about such troublesome things." Lucy smiled and said, "Maddox, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
...
After the three of them had dinner together, Maddox drove them home.
"Maddox, can I go and play with you tomorrow?" Caden kissed Maddox when she got out of the car and was reluctant to leave.
Maddox rubbed his head and said with a doting look on his face, "Of course, my office is open to you at any time."
Caden was smart, sensible, and cute. He liked this child very much.
"Caden, don't make trouble for your Maddox." Since he knew what he was thinking, Lucy did not want to have too many things to do with him.
She had someone else in her heart, so she shouldn't give him hope. This was unfair to him.
"It's no trouble." Maddox gave the new Magic Cube to the little fellow. "Caden is the winner of the Go game, but those naughty kids can't compare with him!"
"Maddox, you know me the best!" Caden fiddled with the Magic Cube a few times and laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared. "Maddox's gift, I like it very much!"
Daddy only knew to give him a pile of children's toys. He didn't care about Maddox at all. How could he
compare with Maddox?
"It's good that you like it. I'll wait for you tomorrow." Maddox sat back in the car and waved at the two of them. After that, he drove away.
Caden watched the car disappear around the corner before she stopped waving her hand.
"Do you like Maddox very much?" Lucy had rarely seen him stick to someone so closely.
Caden nodded like a chick pecking rice. "Yes, yes, Maddox is also tall, rich, and handsome. He is very gentle, and he is very considerate in doing things. It's very suitable for him to be a father!"
If Maddox was his father, he would never ignore him!
Lucy really wanted to say that she didn't like her senior. He couldn't become Caden's father, but she couldn't say it.
Caden had no father since he was a child. It was not wrong for him to want his father. It had always been wrong for her.
She had selfishly guarded her humble one-sided love. She had never thought of finding a father for Caden. It was she, her mommy, who was not qualified!
"Mommy, what do you think of Maddox? Is he much better than that scumbag daddy?" Caden looked up at her.
Lucy squatted down and looked at him. "Give mommy some time to think about it, okay?" NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
She didn't want to make a promise now and go back on her word in the future.
Moreover, she couldn't take herself into consideration. It depended on what her senior thought.
"Mommy is great!" Caden scratched her face and showed a big smile. As long as Mommy said that she would consider it, it meant that there was hope in this matter!
...
One night, nightmares kept coming.
Some of them mocked her for not knowing her limits, while others mocked her because her mother-in- law gave her a hundred dollars. After a while, she and Sheng Wan fell into an oil pan together, while Arthur was only concerned about saving Elyse...
Lucy opened his eyes and wiped the cold sweat off his head. He discovered that it was only half past five in the morning.
She couldn't fall asleep anymore. She tiptoed on the bed, put on her clothes, and prepared to make breakfast.
However, it had been empty for a few months, and there was no food at all.
[Caden, I'm going to buy breakfast. I'll be back soon.]
Lucy left the little fellow with a note. Then, he walked to the door and gently opened it. However, he
saw an unexpected person—
Arthur sat at the door with his eyes closed and his brows tightly knitted. He should have been waiting here for a while.
The moment she opened the door, he suddenly opened his eyes and his sharp gaze fell on her.
Lucy quietly looked at him for a while, and then shifted his eyes with no expression on his face. He was ready to cross over him and wait for the elevator.
"Lucy!" Arthur stood up and grabbed her wrist in an overbearing manner.
Lucy shook it off a few times, but he didn't manage to shake it off. He couldn't help but feel disgusted. "Let, let go of my hand!"
Yesterday, he had left her behind without hesitation for Elyse's sake, and today, he was acting like he was deeply in love with her. Didn't he think he was hypocritical?
"I can explain!" Arthur forcefully straightened her body, allowing her to face him.
Lucy looked at him calmly and said, "Okay, you can explain. I'll listen."
"I'll handle Elyse's matter well." The relationship between the two of them, which had just recovered, had turned out to be like this. Arthur's heart was filled with frustration.
"Ha!" Lucy sneered. "Arthur, do you think that if you like me, you can recklessly squander my dignity?"
"Elyse? You call me so kind!"
Did he believe in this kind of explanation himself?
After that, she broke free from his grip and turned to leave.
"I did something wrong yesterday. I apologize." Arthur hugged her from behind, with his chin on her shoulder. The proud man begged, "Can you forgive me?"
If he continued to be tough, Lucy wouldn't hesitate to shake him off.
But seeing him like this, she felt a little soft in her heart. "Arthur, let's calm down and think about what we want."
That was Elyse, not someone else!
She did not believe that he could let go of the person whom she had been missing for countless years so easily!
