Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 603 – Sudden Hesitation.
Was it right to agree to hold a wedding with Paul in Austos? As Lucia walked forward mechanically, she repeatedly asked herself this
question but could not figure out an answer.
Unknowingly, she arrived in the rest area of the shopping mall where there were several sofas. It was not until she sat down in a daze did
she realize that she had left Paula behind. So, she quickly took out her mobile phone.
When she was about to call her, a familiar voice suddenly said from behind, “Lucia, why are you here? I’ve been looking for you for a long
time!” As soon as Lucia turned her head back, she saw Paula walking toward her with a frown.
She took a deep breath, tried her best to calm herself down, and said softly, “I didn’t see you in the store just now, so I came out to look
for you.” Then, she looked at the shopping bag in Paula’s hand with the logo of the jewelry store just now and asked softly, “Did you buy jewelry?”
Hearing this, Paula suddenly remembered what she needed to do, so she quickly raised the bag, glanced at it, and said, “No! Guess who gave it to me? After Adeline dragged me away, she unexpectedly gave it to me and said it was a wedding gift for you from August.
I refused, but she said it was a token of August’s regard and asked me to hand it over to you. She said if you don’t want to accept it, you
can throw it away. What a weird woman!”
Hearing this, Lucia’s gaze fell heavily on the shopping bag, and she somehow had difficulty breathing as if a big stone were pressing her
heart. Seeing her keep silent, Paula asked, “How are going to deal with this?”
Lucia hesitated for a few seconds and then said lightly, “I will accept it and transfer the money to him.” Paula nodded to express her agreement and said, “Yes! We will not take advantage of him!”
Then, she smiled, took Lucia’s arm, and said, “Problem solved! Let’s continue shopping! I heard a new store has just opened, and there
are a lot of new products on sale!” Lucia nodded obediently, but she no longer had the slightest interest in shopping now.
August’s words were lingering in her mind, so she became increasingly uneasy.
After returning to West Bridge, Lucia was physically and mentally exhausted. But
seeing her come back, Elisa hurriedly pulled her aside,
acting mysteriously.
Seeing her have something to say, Lucia asked directly, “Mom, what’s up?”
Elisa hesitated for a moment and then said softly, “Nothing serious. But…”
When she suddenly paused before finishing speaking, Lucia frowned and said
lightly, “If you have anything to say, just say it.” “Your father and I will travel
around Cardiff and have already booked the air tickets. We will leave in less than
a week. But we have discussed and decided to leave after your wedding.
But I’m afraid you will not
have enough time to prepare.”
Lucia asked, “Why did you book the air tickets so soon?”
Elisa replied, “When your dad went to claim the prize, they confirmed our travel
time with him and booked the air tickets. We didn’t
expect you to hold a wedding, so…”
Although Elisa didn’t finish her words, she understood what she meant.
If she had told Lucia about it yesterday, the latter would not have thought it was a
big deal. But after she had met August in the mall
today, her determination to hold the wedding suddenly wavered.
Lucia took a deep breath and remained silent.
Seeing her preoccupied, Elisa guessed she had something on her mind, so she
asked softly, “Don’t you have enough time? But isn’t your
wedding coming soon? You said it will be held just in a few days, right?”
Lucia frowned and blurted out, “But I suddenly became hesitant about it.”
Elisa got more confused and said, “Why? Aren’t you two very affectionate now?
You should hold the wedding as soon as possible!”
“Mom, you know nothing” Lucia said earnestly, “I suddenly think it’s too early to
hold the wedding now…”
Elisa hurriedly lowered her voice and said, “Don’t talk nonsense! Paul will be sad
if he hears you say so! You know he has done a lot of
preparation for the wedding these days!”
Lucia took a deep breath and didn’t say anything to rebut her words, but her mind
became even messier. So, she did not notice a person
standing at the corner of the stairs now.
Paul leaned against the wall, standing as straight as a sculpture. He had been
there for a while, so he had heard what Elisa and Lucia had
said.
His face became cold, and he had unconsciously crumpled the wedding venue
design drawings in his hand. And a cold light flashed
across his eyes. After a moment, he turned around silently, walked upstairs, and
went back to the study.
After closing the door, he picked up his mobile phone without hesitation and
dialed a number. Soon, Arctile cald on the pluny “Hello, My
Thomas.”
“Archie, find out where Lucia and Paula went shopping today and who they met ‘
“Yes, I will do it right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Paul held it tightly and stared out the window blankly.
After a while, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. After he answered the call
hesitantly, Archie said, “When they were
shopping in a jewelry store today, they met August and Adeline. Adeline used to be a star
and was by August’s side a few years app. But
now, she has retired…”
After hearing “August”, Paul could no longer hear other words. He gripped the phone so
tightly that his krickles formed slightly whate
And the look in his eyes was deep, cold, and lifeless. It turned out Lucia had met August
today. No wonder she had suddenly changed her
mind…
Paul gritted his teeth with anger burning in his chest. Listening to Archie’s report, he
became so irritable that be hung up the phone anad
threw it aside. No! He must not sit around like this! Otherwise, he would lose her!
Suddenly, there was a burst of children’s laughter outside the door. And he frowned when
an idea struck him.
Lucia’s depression lasted for a long time. Fortunately, when she watched the children play
football in the yard, her worries were
unconsciously alleviated.
Suddenly, Elisa appeared at the door and said, “Lucia, come and see how my cake is!”
Lucia responded, got up from the small chair at the door, turned around, and entered the
house. Before entering the kitchen, the smelled a hint of creamy sweetness.
Then, she walked in and said with a smile, “Mom, when did
you learn to bake cakes?”
Elisa said with a smile, “I taught myself.”
After a while, when Lucia was helping Elisa with the cream, she suddenly heard chaotic
footsteps outside the kitchen, and then Timothy and Janet rushed in.
She wanted to let them have a taste of the freshly made cake. But when she turned her
head back, she saw them panicked with tears in their eyes.
And then, they said pitifully, “Mom….
Lucia’s heart skipped a beat, so she quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Garnett ran out and disappeared!”
