Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 502

Therefore, the moment Joel saw Susan, he had the thought of asking her to take him upstairs to see Lucy.

She refused without even thinking about it when Joel asked her.

No matter what Joel said, no matter how much he pushed, Susan shook her head and insisted that she would not betray Lucy.

In the end, Joel was angered and chose to threaten Susan’s family.

Just as Lucy thought, if Susan dared to refuse Joel, he would do such a thing.

But that was not important anymore.

Susan did not plan to take credit for that. So, Lucy did not intend to ask more.

She just had to know the result.

Nothing else mattered.

With that in mind, Lucy was not as tensed up as before and finally relaxed.

As a consequence, Lucy began to feel a little dizzy.

She even wanted to fall asleep again.

Susan knew that Lucy needed to rest as soon as she saw Lucy’s visible fatigue.

Indeed, how could a seriously ill person still be in good spirits after experiencing such a severe blow and crying for so long?

So, Susan quickly said, “You should rest first, I’ll go out.”

She helped Lucy to lie down on the bed after speaking.

Lucy did not refuse either, she just let Susan help her and lay down on the bed.

After Susan had covered Lucy with the quilt, the latter looked at her with gratitude and fell into a deep sleep.

For some reason, Lucy had a dream this time.

She saw Joel in her dream.

In the dream, she was still ten years old. Joel, who was beside her, was the same age.

They had fun playing together, laughing, and lying on the lawn looking at the stars.

The sky was really clear a decade ago. It was so clear that one could see the stars in the sky when it got dark.

Lucy smiled while looking at the pair of childhood friends, her eyes were full of tenderness.

Gradually, the boy disappeared from the girl’s side.

The girl grew up.

All sorts of people appeared around her.

At first, it was her stepfather, who was like a leech. Then, it was the boss she met, followed by Mace, and finally, Joel appeared again.

The events that happened matched what had happened in the ten years after Lucy left the Military Community.

But for some reason, she felt that there was a person behind her who was always looking at her.

The person had no specific appearance and no specific voice.

Vague and looming.

But she knew that person had been looking at her, looking at her growing up.

Lucy was very surprised, she did not know what to say.

Because she was currently in her dream, even if she wanted to think independently, she could not do it.

She could only follow the dream.

Although Joel did appear in this period, she always brushed past him inadvertently.

They both noticed each other’s existence.

But Lucy who was in her dream always had such a feeling…

It was true that Joel could see her, but she could not have found him if she was not in a dream.

It was a strange feeling, but Lucy did not realize it.

Later on, Joel suddenly appeared brazenly.

He was always greeting her in the dream and always looking to encounter her for various reasons.

Lucy had some doubts about this but did not know how to vent her emotions.

But then, Joel and Mace got into a fight.

Her eyes were no longer lost and gradually became clearer.

Finally, Lucy calmly looked at the man in front of her. She pushed him away and wiped away her tears. She said, “It’s you.”

A trace of pain rose in Mace’s heart.

He knew why Lucy had suddenly become so cold.

It was just a contractual relationship between them.

She had been telling him from the beginning that she did not love him, she just needed his resources.

The two were just in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship. Whoever got closer would hurt himself.

However, he still wanted to get close to Lucy.

Mace was very upset.

The pain in his heart became more and more apparent, as if it was tearing his heart apart.

But he could not show his love for Lucy.

He knew that if he did, she would have no hesitation in choosing to leave him.

Mace did not want it to be like this.

Therefore, he had to look at Lucy calmly and show his apathy.

“You really have your own way of doing things.” Mace smiled and shook his head.

Lucy looked at Mace. “You know, right? This is what we both agreed on since the beginning.”

Mace nodded. “Yes, I know. It’s just a bit…”

Lucy raised her eyebrow. “What?”

Mace coughed and tried to be mysterious. “You can try to rely on me.”

Lucy was silent for a moment. She chuckled softly. “If it’s someone else, I’ll think about it. For us, it would be better to keep the right distance and not be too close.”

Mace was dumbfounded.

He knew Lucy’s thoughts and why she did so.
