Chapter 535 Making A Deal

As Olivia had said, Paul had not called or sent her a message during the past few days. Lucia knew it was because he was angry with her this time, so she took a deep breath and said softly, “Maybe he’s been too busy…”

“Silly girl! No matter how busy he is, he must have time to make a phone call or send a message!”

When Olivia was about to reply, August suddenly came over in his wheelchair and asked, “Who is busy?”

Lucia instantly froze and couldn’t utter a single word.

Seeing this, Olivia rolled her eyes at August and snorted, “As the saying goes, a person in a favorable position gains. special advantages. During the past two days, you had a lot of opportunities, but you did not seize them!” Then, she gave him a snort, dusted her palms, and walked into the house unhappily..

August was stunned and couldn’t understand what she meant at all. So, he looked at Lucia suspiciously. Seeing her fiddling with the plants without looking at him, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked lightly, “What did you and my grandma talk about just now?”

“Nothing serious. We were just chatting casually,” Lucia said without raising her head and continued to fiddle with the plants.

August was dissatisfied with her answer. He drove the wheelchair up the stairs, stopped in front of her, and asked with at half-smile, “Did she say anything about us getting back together again?”

Olivia had kept nagging him to remarry Lucia in the past two days, so he knew what she was thinking. He had failed to understand what she meant at first but soon guessed it after being stunned for a short while.

Lucia paused her actions for a moment, looked up at him in surprise, regained her composure, and said lightly, “You can think so if you want.”

August had a smile on his face, looking in a good mood. He hesitated for a moment and asked leisurely, “If so, what do you think about her suggestion?”

Lucia was shocked to hear his question. When she raised her head, she happened to meet his dark and deep eyes, which were as beautiful as bright summer stars. When she looked into them, she felt as if she would fall into them. uncontrollably. When their eyes met, the atmosphere became romantic and intimate, and her heart involuntarily began to race. When she felt her cheeks burning, she suddenly came back to her senses and quickly looked away. Then, she continued to fiddle with the plants and said softly, “I don’t have any thoughts about it.”

This answer was not surprising to August. He pursed his lips and suddenly stretched out his hand to grab her wrist.

gently.

When she felt his body temperature in the back of her hand, her heart began throbbing violently. She raised her eyes to look at him in panic, for fear that he would take advantage of her. But after he glanced down at the dirt in her palm, he said softly, “Wash your hands and get ready. It’s time to get down to business.”

He suddenly became serious although he had made jokes with her leisurely one second ago. She couldn’t help becoming serious too. And then, she took a deep breath and asked, “Are you going to make a deal with Bishop now?” August let go of her wrist, slowly turned the wheelchair around, and said softly, “Yes, we will go to make a deal with him.”

Hearing this, Lucia took a deep breath. And when she thought of Mandy who was locked in the small dark room now, she had complicated emotions in her heart.

Ten minutes later, when Bishop was looking at the mobile phone in his hand on a chair in his spacious and bright office, a message suddenly popped up and entered his sight. He squinted his eyes slightly, and his face turned cold.

The message said, “See you at East Coast at seven o’clock in the evening.”

She had known this for a long time. They had talked about everything in childhood, and Mandy had mentioned this once.

Hearing her words, August in a wheelchair slightly narrowed his eyes, looked at her, and said with a half-smile, “Do you remember that incident five years ago?”

Lucia took a deep breath and asked, “What do you mean?”

August didn’t reply but turned his head to look at the sea full of undercurrents. And the look in his eyes became increasingly complicated.

Lucia shivered and instantly remembered what had happened. Five years ago, she had made up her mind to leave because of that incident. She had been kidnapped to a lookout tower in the sea when she had been pregnant. She had watched the tide rising and almost drowned. When the memory hit her heavily like a thunderbolt, the fear and despair at that time. suddenly swept back.

Seeing her closing her eyes with a pale face, August pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. That experience was also painful for him.

As Lucia had said just now, Mandy was afraid of heights. But he was afraid of the sea. He had Thalassophobia, but he had had no choice but to jump into the sea back then because he must save Lucia. Now, it was time to settle the account with them for what had happened five years ago.

When they suddenly heard a sharp sudden brake from the coast road, they all looked over. After a few cars stopped by the side of the road, a large group of people in black began to approach them.

Almost at the same time, August’s subordinates all got out of the cars and quickly surrounded him and Lucia, guarding. against the enemies. And the people on the reef over there also got ready. Everyone was extremely alert and nervous. And this battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
