Chapter 493
As soon as the door was opened, Zoel quickly leaned forward and closed the door. He grabbed the
seat belt with one hand and strapped her in with it while his face was pressing against hers...
At that moment, Franklin was passing by the car, and from the side view, he saw Zoel and Lucille
appeared to be kissing each other!
Out of impulse, he lifted his foot and kicked the car with a bang.
Zoel raised his head, rolled down the window and stared at Franklin who was staring at the side of the
car. He pretended to be surprised and said, "President Moore, what do you mean by this? I guess you
won't mistake my shabby car as yours, will you?" "Well, I have something to talk to my ex-wife."
Franklin said and looked toward Lucille. There was a touch of a smile on his face, as if he was not
angry at what he had seen.
Lucille didn't want to be misunderstood, thus she explained, "Mr. Moore, we didn't do anything just now,
it's just the matter of view..."
"It's no longer my business." She was interrupted mercilessly by Franklin, "I just want to tell you that all
the previous agreements have been canceled. Even if the child is mine, I will not marry you again."
Franklin then added, "Of course, now it seems that it's impossible for the child to be mine."
After that, he strode away.
"No!" Lucille was panicked when she saw Franklin was leaving. She opened the door and wanted to
get off the car, only to find that she was wearing a seat belt. When she unfastened the seat belt and
was about to chase after Franklin, he had sped off with his car.
Lucille chased after the car desperately, regardless of other bosses' stare.
She ran as fast as she could. She chased all the way to the exit of the parking lot until she was stopped
by Zoel.
"Are you done?"
Zoel asked loudly.
"Mr. Parker, I don't know what's your intention. However, I am just your employee." Lucille wanted to
break free from Zoel's grip.
At that moment, she had lost her marbles.
Her senses was completely lost with the departure of Franklin.
"It's not up to you." Zoel did not want to attract more attention. He simply lifted up Lucille and then
placed her into the car forcefully. After fastening the seat belt for her, he said, "If you want to resolve
this misunderstanding, I am the only one who can help you."
Lucille wished to get off the car initially. After listening to what he said, she went silent.
It was only then that Zoel drove the car peacefully, fetching her back to the gallery.
When they arrived at the gallery, Zoel sat there and lit a cigarette. When he thought of Lucille being
pregnant, he put it off and asked, "Tell me, why did you divorce him?"
"He had a vasectomy but I got pregnant. However, I really did not cheat on him..."
Lucille gave a brief account of what had happened.
"I see. He suspects that you've cheated on him, doesn't he?" Zoel finally understood.
"That's right."
"How long have you been with him?" Zoel sat cross- legged and his face was full of suspicion, "It's only
been a month since I have known you, but I can tell that you are not the type who dares to cheat. He This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
was just getting an excuse to divorce you."
Lucille was timid and coward. She didn't even dare to speak loudly. How could she cheat on someone?
"No, he has been ligated while I am pregnant with a child. It makes sense that he suspects... but I don’t
know what’s going on. I even checked on the internet. The sperm duct is removed during the
vasectomy, it's impossible for me to get pregnant."
"Then where did you get this child from?" Zoel wondered.
"I don't know either..."
Lucille shook her head helplessly.
Zoel put down his legs, leaned forward and spoke seriously, "Lucille, it's pointless to figure out who the
father of this child is. What's important now is that the father of this child doesn't want him. You will only
get yourself into trouble if you give birth to the baby. It’s better to get rid of it and turn over a new leaf."
Although Zoel used to be cynical, he was not young after all.
He could understand matters better than Lucille ever did.
"But...but I want to prove it to him." Lucille touched her stomach.
She wished to prove that she was innocent and did not betray Franklin. It had become Lucille's
obsessiveness...
"So what if you can prove it? He won't come back to you. You still have to raise the child and face the
financial burden alone." Zoel rationalized it seriously.
"Because...because he is Franklin."
"What do you mean?" Zoel was confused.
Lucille looked at Zoel and started to explain, "My mother passed away when I was very young. Not
long after her death, my father married my stepmother who also brought a younger sister over. At that
time, my stepmother and stepsister tried to push me out and did something to frame me. There was a
time even my father hated me very much."
"At some point...I was sick. I didn't know what my illness was. I just didn't want to talk or see anyone. I
did nothing other than paint every day. My father was also busy with work while my stepmother and
stepsister didn't even give me food at times. Then, I ran away from my home one day..."
"Then you met Franklin?" Zoel had already guessed what happened next.
"Yes." Lucille nodded, "Even if others say that he is a playboy, but for me, he is always like the time
when I first met him when I was young. He is kind, enthusiastic and gentle..."
Zoel took a glance at Lucille when she was having a recollection of Franklin. There was a faint smile at
the corners of her lips. Her crystal-clear eyes were filled with affection and expectation.
She had never shown such expression while she was talking about others.
When Zoel saw that, he was a little jealous. He laid his head on his hand and said with his head aslant,
"You're wrong. That's just your wishful thinking. Your heart is playing tricks with your mind."
"No, he..."
"He is." Zoel interrupted without waiting for her to say further, "We were classmates since we were in
junior high school. He only loves a woman throughout his life, who is Valerie. Later, we didn't know why
he didn't love her anymore. But that woman is deeply ingrained in his heart. Even if he doesn't mention
about her now, it's just that he hides his affection but it is not gone."
"No, I know Valerie. When she got into trouble last time, Mr. Moore also appeared in court specifically
to testify...He...he doesn't love her anymore."
Just as Lucille mentioned it, she felt bitterness and discomfort in her heart.
She had no confidence at all. Or perhaps it was just her wishful thinking.
"It's impossible, he loved her so much then that he was willing to die for her. This kind of affection is
deeply ingrained. If it were you, would you simply get rid of this affection?" Zoel said affirmatively.
His questioning made Lucille lose her mind.
When Zoel asked that, she already knew the answer in her heart.
It was how Franklin existed in her heart. No matter how the others slandered him, she would not
change her mind.
Even if he treated her like that, she couldn't stop falling in love with him either.
