Chapter 309 Taking A Photo The affection in Paul's eyes was too obvious, so Lucia unconsciously blushed.

Then, she took a deep breath and changed the topic, asking, "How's Paula doing?"

Seeing her shyness, Paul smiled, "She's been very busy recently, but I don't know what she's doing."

Hearing this, Lucia immediately thought of Burton.

Paula had not contacted her recently, but Paul had said she was busy, so there was only one possibility.

Lucia smiled knowingly but didn't say anything about it.

Suddenly, a clear female voice said not far away, "Lucia!"

Hearing this, Lucia turned her head back and saw Jeanne in a white dress walking toward her while handing August's hand.

Instantly, Lucia tensed up.

Jeanne beamed with joy, pulled August over, and said with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be here!"

While speaking, she looked at Paul and said with a knowing smile, "It turns out you're with Mr.Thomas!"

Lucia lowered her eyes, glanced at Jeanne and August holding hands, forced a smile, and said, "Congratulations."

Hearing this, Jeanne smiled brightly, while August showed a gloomy face and looked between Lucia and Paul intentionally.

Jeanne took August's hand and showed Lucia their engagement rings, saying, "Lucia, look! Are they pretty?"

Lucia nodded and said softly, "Yes, they look pretty."

"I think so too! This is a surprise from August!"

Jeanne said, looked at August lovingly, held his arm intimately, and continued, "I've ordered our engagement rings, but he suddenly asked his assistant to deliver this pair of rings here today.

The production period of this kind of ring is at least several months!"

While speaking, Jeanne looked incredibly happy.

Seeing this, Lucia felt a sting in her heart, and the smile on her face faded.

"By the way, I looked for you to take a photo!"

Jeanne suddenly remembered her purpose.

Then, she looked between Lucia and Paul and asked playfully, "Mr.Thomas, Are you chasing Lucia?"

Hearing her question, Lucia immediately shook her head with a shocked expression.

But before she could say anything, Jeanne added, "August and I both saw you whispering to each other in this hidden corner.

Don't try to deny it!"

Lucia raised her eyes in a panic and involuntarily looked at August.

When she met his cold gaze, she was even more at a loss.

Suddenly, Paul, who was standing beside her, said with a smile, "Yes, I am pursuing Lucia, but she hasn't accepted me yet."

Then, he stretched out his hand, politely took her hand, looked at her affectionately, and asked, "Lucia, can you give me a chance?"

Lucia was stunned to hear it.

She had never expected such an incident.

Looking at Paul's serious expression, she knew that he wasn't joking, so she was at a loss for what to do.

Jeanne looked even more excited than her and quickly said, "Lucia, say yes! Mr.Thomas is one of the few good men in Austos City!"

Then, she clung to August's arm, tilted her head, looked at Lucia with a smile, and said, "But the best man is engaged to me.

Don't try to snatch him!"

She sounded as if just joking, but her words had hidden meanings.

As soon as Lucia understood her implication, her heart sank.

And when she raised her eyes to look at Paul again, she saw the persistence in his eyes, so she felt a little moved.

Paul smiled and asked patiently, "Lucia, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

Lucia hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and said softly, "Yes, I do..."

August who had kept silent all the time suddenly showed a gloomy face, and his gaze at Lucia became sharper and colder.

But Jeanne clapped her hands excitedly with a glint of light flashing across her eyes.

Then, she said with a smile, "That's great! Lucia, you must attend my wedding, and I will throw the bouquet to you!" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Then, she looked at Paul and said, "Mr.Thomas, Lucia is my friend, you must treat her well! Otherwise, I will teach you a good lesson!"

Because of Jeanne's words, the atmosphere seemed convivial and relaxed on the surface.

But August's expression was a little gloomy.

When Lucia held Paul's hand, she could see August's cold gaze out of the corner of her eye, so she felt nervous, and her palms were sweating.

Suddenly, Paul squeezed her fingers lightly.

And when she turned her head to look at him, she saw him smiling at her.

When she saw his smile like a spring breeze, her nervousness was slightly alleviated.

So, she also smiled at him.

Seeing them smiling at each other, August immediately showed a hint of anger in his eyes.

He frowned and suddenly remembered she had said in the dressing room just now that the man she liked was not him.

So, did she like Paul? Thinking of this, August felt more furious and could hardly suppress his anger.

Suddenly, Jeanne held his hand and said, "August, let's take a picture with them!"

August came back to his senses, restrained his anger, suddenly stretched out to wrap his long arm around Jeanne's waist, and said in a low voice, "Okay, let's do it."

Jeanne rejoiced and beamed with joy.

She waved to the photographer, dragged August to Lucia’s side, and said, "Let the photographer take a photo of the four of us!"

Although Lucia was unwilling, she couldn't embarrass Jeanne in public, so she nodded in agreement.

The four of them soon stood in a row.

Lucia and Jeanne stood in the center, and August and Paul stood on both ends.

And the two pretty two couples were quite eye-catching.

The photographer wanted to take a few more photos for them, so he even specifically instructed Paul's posture, saying, "Sir, please move closer to the lady.

Yes! That's it!"

Under the guidance of the photographer, Paul's lips almost pressed against Lucia's ear.

This was the first time he had been so close to his beloved woman, so he inevitably felt a little nervous.

Lucia was overwhelmed.

And her cheeks were flushed, looking as if she were shy.

Jeanne smiled brightly, while August looked cold.

After the photo was taken, the photographer glanced at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, it's taken."

Hearing this, Lucia unconsciously moved away from Paul and then felt more at ease.

When August raised his eyes and saw her red cheeks, his face became even gloomier.

He frowned impatiently, looked at his mobile phone perfunctorily, and said in a cold voice, "Jeanne, please excuse me.

I need to make a call."

Before Jeanne could reply, he strode away with a frown, leaving her in situ.

Staring after the man who suddenly left, Jeanne was stunned.

Then, she opened her mouth and said, "August..."

But he walked away quickly without looking back as if he didn't hear her at all.

And his back looked cold, abstinent, and imposing.

They had just completed the engagement ceremony, but he left her here alone, so she felt a little embarrassed.

She raised her eyes to look at Lucia and Paul and said, "Since the photo was taken, I'll go first."

Then, she also walked away quickly.

Lucia stood in situ.

Watching them leave one after the other, she felt very confused.

Judging from August's expression, she knew he was angry.

But nothing special had happened just now.

What had angered him?
