Submit to the Boss He Rules the Boardroom and the Bedroom

Chapter 363

Chapter 363 Only Wanted Her Heart Lucia sensed Paul's anger.

She hurriedly held his arm and said, "Paul, come with me.

I need to talk to you.

Then, she pulled Paul's arm and led him to the other side.

"Paul, I failed to contact you today, so I brought Janet and Timothy here first.

And we ran into August in the park.

You know that August brought Janet back when she got lost last time.

And Janet said that she wanted to play with him.

So, I..."

Paul showed depress in his eyes.

But he soon regained his composure.

He smiled at Lucia and said softly, "It's okay.

I thought he was forcing you..."

Lucia shook her head and said, "He didn't."

Paul said smilingly, "Let's go.

The kids are waiting."

Then, he put his arm around Lucia’s shoulder and they walked towards the dining table together.

"Dad, what took you so long?"

As soon as Paul approached the kids, Timothy looked up at him and asked.

Paul was still a little depressed.

But he hid his feelings and kept smiling. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He stroked the boy's little head and explained in a relaxing tone, "Dad was tied up by business.

I apologize to you for failing to arrive in time."

Timothy giggled.

"It's okay.

We had great fun today."

Paul smiled and sat opposite August.

He didn't look straight at August until now.

He said, "President Adams, I owe you my gratitude for looking after my wife and kids today.

I wish I could treat you to a meal next time.

Please do accept."

August looked up.

His eyes had shown hostility.

After he heard how Paul called him, his face went darker.

"No, thanks.

Just a lift of finger."

Then, he turned to the kids and said, "I had great fun with you kids today.

If I got the chance, I'll treat you cakes."

Saying, he wiped his hand with a tale napkin and stood up.

He looked at Paul and said with less warmth and more coldness.

"Since Mr.Thomas has arrived, I won't be a nuisance."

Then, he strode to leave.

Lucia looked up at the man's retreating figure and heaved a sigh of relief.

Paul really freaked her out just now.

She had never seen him being so angry at least for the past five years.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Paul, you want something to drink?"

Paul answered, "No, thanks.

Have you guys finished the dishes?"

‘Almost"

"Okay, I'll pay the bill."

Soon, a waiter came over and said to Paul.

"Sorry, sir.

The mister dined at the table just now had paid the bill."

Hearing this, Paul showed more displease on his face.

After coming out of the restaurant, the kids had been tired after playing for the whole day.

Lucia proposed that they should go home.

Paul didn't refuse.

He drove them back to West Bridge.

On their way back, the kids all fell asleep on the car because they were tired.

Lucia and Paul didn't chat, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressed.

After arriving at West Bridge, they entered their house.

Lucia held Janet in her arms while Paul had Timothy in his.

Bill and Elisa weren't home.

The house was shrouded in silence.

After placing the kids on their kids‘ beds, they silently went out of the room.

In the living room, Paul took out a bottle of whiskey and poured himself half a glass of it.

He took several sips of the wine, and the atmosphere was still depressed.

Lucia sat on the sofa and looked up at Paul.

She asked, "Much business in the company today?"

"Yes.

Something sudden and urgent.

That's why I didn't answer your call."

Saying, Paul sat beside her and asked softly, ‘Are you mad at me? For my failure to arrive in time?"

Lucia shook her head.

"No.

I know you're busy."

She had owned Paul more than she could repay him.

She shouldn't blame Paul for such trifle.

Paul remained silent for a while.

He then put down the wine glass and turned to the woman.

"Lucia, to tell you the truth, I was extremely angry when I was you with August.

"I kept wondering if I wasn't doing well enough when I saw you four together."

Hearing this, Lucia felt so lost and hurriedly consoled him, "Paul, don't think it that way.

You've done enough for us.

I am so grateful and I didn't know how to repay you..."

Her words were interrupted by Paul, who suddenly held her hand and said soulfully, "But you know clearly what I want is not your gratitude nor your repaying..."

He helped her go abroad five years ago, and took care of her for the past five years.

He never wanted her gratitude.

He, from the beginning to the end, only wanted her heart.

Paul's voice had become hoarse.

He said deeply, "Lucia, you know what I want..."

Saying, he approached her slowly and was about to land a kiss on her lips...

Lucia was scared and subconsciously pushed him away.

She stood up in panic and took a step back.

"Paul, don't.

I...

I'm not ready..."

She hadn't been ready to accept him.

Paul was stunned.

Looking the panic in the woman's eyes, he didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

He had been taking care of her for five years, but she was still not ready to accept him.

Five years! Five fucking years! An iceberg should have been melted.

Paul endured the pain in his heart and replied, "Lucia, sorry.

I shouldn't force you."

Then, he stood up and left without a glance back.

After hearing the car in yard going away, Lucie finally felt a little relaxed.

But then, guilt surged into her heart, making her feel more and more struggling.

Paul treated her perfectly, but she still couldn't empty her heart and accept him.

Thinking of which, she didn't know what to do.

Footsteps came from the gate.

Then, Elisa's voice sounded.

"Lucia, what happened?"

Lucia looked up and found Elisa and Bill coming in one after another.

She took a breath to calm herself down.

She adjusted her expression and said, "Nothing."

Elisa was still worried.

"Your dad and I saw Paul leaving at the gate.

He looked somewhat mad.

You two...

didn't quarrel, did you?"

Before Lucia could answer, Bill had said, "Enough probing kids’ things.

Just leave Lucia alone."

Elisa wanted to keep asking, but, after hearing Bill, she remained silent.

Lucia stood up and looked at her parents.

"Dad, mom, don't be worried.

I know how to handle my things."

Hearing her words, Elisa felt less nervous.

She and Bill then went upstairs.

Soon, Lucia was left alone in the spacious living room.

Her thinking was muddled.

Paul, she had to admit, would be a perfect husband.

However, why couldn't she open up her heart to him?
