Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 188 – She Went Out To Have A Walk With Grandma The next morning, Lucia got up early.She put on a slim-fitting yellow shirt dress, and a pair of casual white shoes, and went out with a bag.
She deliberately went out more than half an hour early. She took a detour to buy traditional pastries that Grandmother liked and then took the subway directly to the Ecological Garden. Not long after she arrived at the gate of the Ecological Garden, a black car drove up and stopped in front of her.
The car door was pushed open. Grandma stuck her head out excitedly and waved to Lucia, “Lucia!” Lucia smiled sweetly and hurried up to meet her, helping her out of the car. “I’ve been so bored recently.But when I see you, I feel much better!”
Grandma got out of the car, held Lucia’s hand, and kept talking. The other side of the car door was opened, and a tall man dressed like a
bodyguard came over and respectfully said to Mr.Adams, “Old Madame, do you need a wheelchair?”
When Grandma heard this, her face darkened and she waved at him, “I finally came out for a walk.Of course, I don’t need the wheelchair.Lucia is here.Don’t follow me.” The bodyguard frowned and said hesitantly, “Mr.Adams specially ordered me to ensure your safety.”
Grandma waved her hand stubbornly, “I’ll be fine with Lucia by my side.Don’t follow me.I’m rarely in a good mood.”
The bodyguard could not persuade her, so he had to obey and no longer follow.
After walking a few steps away, Grandma couldn’t help snorting coldly, “This
is the bodyguard that August hired for me.He is tall and big, but he is very
boring!”
Seeing Grandma complaining like a child, Lucia couldn’t help smiling and
persuaded, “They are doing it for your good.I’ll be with you today.Let’s have a
good time.”
When Grandma heard this, she held Lucia’s hand tightly, patted the back of
her hand lightly, and said with a chuckle, “You’re so sweet.You know me!”
Walking into the Ecological Garden, they were greeted by a large green lawn
with different sculptures and small pavilions.
Today, the weather was very good and the sky was clear.
Many children were flying kites on the lawn.
It was very pleasant to see it from a distance.
Lucia and Grandma chatted while walking, and the atmosphere was
harmonious.
When Grandma looked at the children playing games over there, she smiled,
pointed over there, and motioned to Lucia to look, “Look, the children are so
adorable!”
“I’m getting old! I just like to watch lively things, and I like children.If you and
August can…”
Grandma started talking about Lucia and August before she knew it.
Before she finished her sentence, she felt that it was not right, so she
stopped immediately.
Hearing her words, Lucia stopped smiling, and she somehow felt a little sad.
Speaking of children, she had once had a child with August, but its life was
so short…
Seeing Lucia’s sad face, Grandma said quickly, “I won’t say it.It’s my fault.I
always mention things in the past…”
Lucia smiled lightly and said softly, “Grandma, it’s okay.”
When Grandma heard the words, she stroked Lucia’s hand and said softly as
she walked slowly, “Actually, I like you very much, and I want August to
reconcile with you.But I respect your choice.Even if you don’t get back with
August, I’ll still be your grandma.”
Hearing her words, Lucia was moved.
Unexpectedly, Grandma had always regarded her as family.
Lucia took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, “Grandma, I will always
accompany you.August will not let you down.If he has someone he wants to
protect, I will respect his choice.”
As soon as she finished it, Grandma’s expression changed.She paused for a
moment, as if trying to figure out the meaning of her words, and then asked,
“You mean…August has someone he likes?”
Hearing her question, Lucia suddenly realized that she might not even know
about Jeanne, but she had accidentally said it just now! Grandma continued
to ask, “Really? Lucia, you know that, right?”
After being asked several times, Lucia hesitated and didn’t know how to
answer.
Facing Grandma’s eyes, she could only nod her head and said softly, “Yes,
he has someone he likes…”
Jeanne was the first woman that August had brought to the company openly
and honestly, and he was willing to pay the price of marriage to find a kidney
source for her.It could be seen how important Jeanne was to him.
Although she knew that there was a female star Adeline besides August,
there was no doubt that Jeanne was the one he cared about the most.
Grandma pulled Lucia and asked excitedly, “Lucia, tell me, who is the girl
August likes?”
At this juncture, even if Lucia wanted to lie, she couldn’t make it up.
Facing her inquiring eyes, Lucia took a deep breath and said word by word,
“Her name is Jeanne Kelly…”
When Grandma heard the name “Jeanne Kelly”, she was stunned.
After a few seconds, the look in her eyes became a little more complicated.
“It turned out to be her.”
Hearing Grandma say this, Lucia realized something.It seemed that
Grandma knew Jeanne.She was more curious about Jeanne now.
Grandma took Lucia’s arm and walked forward slowly as if she was
hesitating.She didn’t speak for a long time.
In the end, she sighed, “No wonder.”
As she said that, she turned her head slightly to look at Lucia and said softly,
“You don’t know the relationship between August and Jeanne, do you?”
Lucia paused for a second and shook her head.
“In the past, the Kelly family had a good relationship with our Adams family,
and the children of the two families were also close.Later, August’s biological
mother died, and his father brought Christina and Bishop back.August had
always held a grudge against them.When he was most upset, Jeanne spent
it with him, so…”
As for the rest, even if Grandma didn’t say it, Lucia could guess it.No wonder
Jeanne was so important to August.
It turned out that they were not only childhood sweethearts, but had also
gone through so many things together…
Lucia’s heart sank, feeling a little upset.
After a moment, she laughed at herself and said softly, “They’re childhood
sweethearts.They are indeed a good match.”
When Grandma heard Lucia’s words, she said without hesitation, “I don’t like
her.”
Lucia turned to look at her in surprise, and couldn’t help asking, “Why?”
Jeanne was pretty and lovely, the type that was popular with the elders.
Grandma shook her head and said affirmatively, “That girl is
sophisticated.None of the Kelly family is a good person.People with too deep
minds are not worth going on with.”
Lucia was stunned and didn’t speak for a long time.
Grandma patted the back of her hand and said softly, “Forget it.We won’t
mention these things.Lucia, let’s go to the lake to have a look…”
Lucia came to her sense, saw the artificial lake not far away, smiled lightly,
and helped her to walk there.
After walking half the way around the lake, Grandma was sweating a little.
Lucia took her to a bench under the shade of a tree and helped her sit down.
“Grandma, these are the pastries I bought.They are all low-sugar.You can eat
some first.I’ll go over there and buy two bottles of water.Wait here for a moment, okay?”
Grandma nodded obediently, wiped her sweat, and smiled at her, “Okay, go
ahead.I’ll be here waiting for you.”
Seeing this, Lucia smiled reassuringly and walked towards the place where
the water was sold.
She didn’t even notice that behind the rockery not far away, two people were
staring at them motionlessly.
