Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 411 – She Didn’t Have to Worry about Him
August walked from Starlight House to his car. The car door slammed shut and he ordered the driver to drive as soon as he got in. Lucia was covered in sweat. She didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until the car slowly drove away. After a while, she turned to look carefully at August, who was pursing his lips with a gloomy face.
It seemed that he was thinking. about something. Lucia couldn’t help but ask in a whisper, “What’s wrong?” August frowned slightly, turned to look at her, and said flatly, “Nothing.” Lucia was even more confused. The jade and the card had actually worried August, who had always been calm.
What did they represent? Lucia took a deep breath and asked seriously, “Really?” August blinked and said flatly, “Yeah. The jade just reminded me of an old friend. I’ll look into it.” He looked down at his watch and said, “It’s getting late. I’ll take you home.” Lucia was still puzzled, but she bit back the words.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at West Bridge. Lucia got out and glanced at August before closing the door. August didn’t turn to look at her. He looked so serious that she couldn’t read his mind.. Watching the car turn around and drive away, Lucia stood in place worriedly.
After a few seconds, she suddenly realized that she was worried about August, she shook her head and gave a helpless smile. She didn’t have to worry about him. She should worry about herself right now. She had to get the public service announcement done, get that video, and leave Austos City as soon as possible.
As for August, there were plenty of people willing to share his worries.
Lucia sneered and turned to walk into West Bridge. It was silent. There was only one small light on in the living room. It seemed that Bill and Elisa had gone to bed and Timothy and Janet were also asleep. Lucia walked gingerly to the children’s room, slowly pushed open the door, and looked inside.
Timothy and Janet were sleeping in two cribs side by side. Timothy moved when
the door opened. Lucia
hesitated for a moment and walked up to his crib.
As expected, Timothy poked his head out from the blanket, looked at her with big
watery eyes, and whispered,
“Mom…”
Lucia leaned over and asked in a whisper, “Why are you still awake?”
“I’m waiting for you.” Timothy reached out his chubby little hand, took Lucia’s
hand, and asked in a soft voice,
“Will you go swimming with us tomorrow? There’s an event at the swimming pool
and all the kids will have
mom and dad with them.”
Lucia hadn’t expected Timothy to wait for her for this matter. She felt guilty and
sorry for the children. She
leaned over, kissed Timothy gently on the forehead, and whispered, “Yes, I’ll call
your dad in the morning and
take you there.”
Timothy was surprised. “Really?”
Lucia felt warm and nodded at him. “Of course. Good night.”
Timothy nodded firmly, tucked himself in, and closed his eyes.
Lucia smiled and went quietly out of the room. She knew very well that she
should spend time with her
children. She used to spend time with them no matter what they did, but now
they were in Austos City and she
was busy with work. She was uncomfortable when she didn’t have time for them.
She didn’t want to miss such
an important occasion. She didn’t want to let Timothy and Janet down.
Lucia woke up very early the next morning. At 6:30, she called Paul directly and
told him about the event.
Paul immediately agreed, skipped the morning meeting, and headed straight to
West Bridge.
Lucia placed the breakfast on the table. Before she could go upstairs to wake up
the children, she heard
someone open the door. Then Paul, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the
doorway.
Paul walked through the foyer towards the dining room. Seeing the hearty
breakfast on the table, he couldn’t
help but smile.
“There you are.” Lucia wiped her hands and walked up to him with a smile. “Have
you eaten breakfast?”
Lucia was wearing an apron with her hair up. Paul looked at her with a gentle
look on his face and whispered,
“Not yet.”
Lucia naturally grabbed his wrist and pushed him toward the kitchen. “Go wash
your hands. I’ve prepared
yours.” The next second, she felt her waist being held and a gentle kiss on her
cheek. She froze at once.
It was so quiet. Paul realized he was being impulsive and cleared his throat. He
was about to explain when he
heard giggles from the stairs.
Lucia and Paul were both surprised and backed up quickly. They turned their
heads at the same time and saw
Timothy and Janet laughing on the stairs with their hands over their mouths.
Obviously, they had seen it.
Lucia blushed in an instant. She walked away and tried to change the subject.
“Have you brushed your teeth
and washed your face?”
The children nodded in unison, but they still giggled.
“Ahem!” Paul saw Lucia’s red face and couldn’t help but smile. He cleared his
throat and said with a straight
face on purpose like a father, “Stop laughing! Come with me to wash your hands
and eat breakfast!” Then he
took the children into the kitchen.
Lucia’s face felt very hot. She couldn’t help but take a deep breath and drink
water to calm herself. She hadn’t
expected Paul to kiss her out of the blue. She hadn’t expected it to be seen by
the children either. They were the
closest people to her, but it was still a little awkward.
However, because of the episode, the house was full of laughter and it felt more
like home.
Lucia’s heart softened. She had always wanted a happy family. It seemed that
things were going great between
her and Paul.
