Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 799 – They Met the Woman Who Had
Kidnapped Them Timothy and Janet exchanged a glance and went straight to the men’s clothing section of the mall. “Mom, this is Dad’s first birthday with us. Aren’t you going to give Dad a gift?” “What does your birthday have to do with him? Why would I prepare gifts for him?”
Lucia couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Janet folded her arms and responded seriously, “Without Mom and Dad, there would be no
us. So you and Dad should also get gifts.”
It was said that a child’s birthday was the mother’s suffering day. These two children were something. They only thought about preparing gifts for August, and it was so unfair. Lucia looked happy on purpose, and said angrily, “I didn’t see any gifts prepared for me.”
“Here it is…” Timothy took out a small delicate box from his pocket and stuffed it into herhand, “This is a gift prepared by Dad for you, and I’m now giving it to you.”
Opening the box, Lucia found there was a delicately shaped pendant in the shape of a butterfly inside, which looked vivid and beautiful.
“Dad said that you don’t usually like to wear necklaces, so he’s just giving you a pendant. You can change it into a bracelet or a brooch.”
Timothy said again. Lucia smiled slightly. It seemed she didn’t even notice this subtle change herself, but Timothy and Janet noticed it. Janet tugged at her sleeve and said sweetly, “We are the crystallization of the love between you and Dad.
Mom, you and Dad have raised us, so you deserve a gift of love.” Lucia felt warm when she heard Janet’s words, and she carefully put the necklace into her backpack. Then she took the hands of the two children and said softly, “There is no need to prepare a gift for him. You are the best gift for him.
Lucia kept her promise. After shopping in the mall all morning, she was carrying many shopping bags, but there was nothing in them for August.
Timothy and Janet tried their best to persuade her, but she was determined to ignore August.
Although Timothy and Janet were fully disguised, the image and temperament of
the mother and children were still very eye-catching in the crowd. A clerk wearing
an apron stopped the three of them.
“Excuse me, Ms., I’m an employee of the ceramic shop next door. I see that you
have a very close relationship with your children.
Would you like to customize a gift for your children?”
This kind of situation of blocking customers on their way was common, and the
promotional slogans were the same. Lucia directly waved her hand to refuse,
but the clerk did not intend to give in and raised the ceramic sculpture in her
hand.
“We have a professional teacher in our store who can teach you how to make a
suitable portrait for your children. This is more memorable than a photo. Are you
sure you don’t want to think about it?”
Lucia’s eyes fell on the lifelike clay sculpture. Looking at the lifelike clay sculpture
of human bodies, she somehow nodded and followed the clerk into the store.
When she was studying directing abroad, she had studied basic painting
courses for a while, so the teacher didn’t give her much guidance, and the
ceramic sculpture in her hands already looked quite good.
Timothy and Janet looked at the pottery sculpture that had been made into the
image of their family of four and smiled at each other. They quickly adjusted the
appropriate paint and waited to color the finished product.
Looking at the pottery figurine that had just been baked in her hand, Lucia wiped
the fine sweat from her forehead. Her face was a little gloomy. She was angry
with August, but why did she make such a thing?
Fortunately, the finished coloring was very good. There were two cute clay dolls
stuck to the legs of the two big clay figurines with the right proportions, which
looked quite like them in person.
Lucia waited for the pottery to dry. From the aisle outside the store gradually
came the sound of quarreling, and it became louder and louder. There were
already many spectators discussing around.
A middle-aged woman was shoving a young woman. Judging from their
appearance, they looked like a mother and her daughter.
Next to the two of them was a young boy leaning on the railing and playing
games. He was wearing a couture suit and looked like a rich second generation,
which was in stark contrast to the mother and daughter next to him. It seemed he
didn’t care about the quarrel between the two women at all.
“Your younger brother is already fifteen years old, and he will be embarrassed if
he doesn’t have a house for him to go to high school. Do you want those rich
second generations to look down on him?”
The young woman lowered her head, and her slender body was trembling
slightly. Faced with her mother’s shoving and insulting words, she explained in a
crying voice, “The debt I owed when you went to the hospital last time has not
been paid off. I have no more money.”
“I’m your mother, and you should pay for my medical bills.” The older woman
became more gloom. She reached out and pinched her daughter hard, “Aren’t
you working in a big company? Isn’t your salary very high? How can’t you even
afford a house?”
The younger woman didn’t speak anymore. She wiped her eyes carelessly with
the back of her hand, and the sound of sniffling was audible.
After glaring at her bitterly, her mother sat on the ground and began to cry, “Why
is my life so hard? How could I give birth to such a useless thing? Are you going
to make me sleep on the street?”
“Mom…” The younger woman sobbed and tried to help her mother up, but she
was pushed down to the ground.
The younger woman bit her lips and looked at her cursing mother. She took out her wallet
with trembling fingers and stuffed it into her mother’s hand, sobbing intermittently, “I’ll buy it. I’ll
buy it! There’s still some money here. You take it back and spend it first. I’ll find a way next
month.”
The middle-aged woman grabbed her wallet and immediately stopped crying. She got up and
patted the dust off her clothes. She never looked at her daughter again, and looked at the
young man beside her affectionately, “Son, didn’t you just take a fancy to a shirt?”
When the younger woman who fell on the ground heard her words, she finally couldn’t
restrain herself, hugged her knees, and burst into tears.
The clerk packed the air-dried pottery and handed it to Lucia. Lucia immediately walked up to
the woman with Timothy and Janet and motioned for the two children to help her up.
Janet looked at the woman in tears, flinched slightly, and exclaimed, “Timothy, she is…”
Timothy immediately widened his eyes and signaled his sister not to talk nonsense.
Although this woman had kidnapped him and his sister, she didn’t hurt them and let them
leave the hotel unscathed. So she shouldn’t have any malicious intentions. It would worry
their mother if they told her.
Hearing the familiar voice, Jerrod was also startled.
Subconsciously, she wanted to get rid of Timothy and Janet, but in the end, she chose to
support herself with Janet’s help.
Lucia was also shocked when she saw her face and asked, “Are you the young lady from the
hospital last time?”
Jerrod nodded with difficulty, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.
She was Currer’s subordinate. She had helped Currer hurt Lucia, and even kidnapped
Timothy and Janet, but Lucia had helped her again and again.
The last time her mother fell ill and was hospitalized, she didn’t have enough money to pay
for medical bills. If Lucia hadn’t kindly paid the medical bills, her mother would have died.
Lucia saw that she was still sobbing, so she could only take her to the nearby coffee shop to
stabilize her emotions. During the conversation, she realized that Jerrod had been forced to
help her bother by her mother.
Her mother had no income, and her brother’s extravagant food and clothing were all paid for
by her alone. He had spent money to get into an expensive private high school. His life was
even more extravagant than Timothy and Janet’s.
