Chapter 583 The Line She Drew

Jeff snorted when hearing so. There was a hint of disdain and mockery in his eyes. He said harshly in a hoarse voice, "If you really mean to help me, you should kill Bishop for me." Lucia didn't know how to reply to him all of a sudden, since she hadn't expected Jeff would make such a request. She would grant him anything she could, except illegal things like murder and arson. Shaking her head, Lucia said in a low voice, "I can't promise you that." Jeff let out a sneer when hearing Lucia, "I guessed so. Why did you say so it you couldn't help me achieve it? What's the point of what you've just said? Are you pleasing yourself?" Jeff's words did hurt. Lucia a lot as if a knife had stabbed into her heart. A hint of shame and helplessness flashed in her eyes, as she couldn't fulfill his request in the very end. Looking up at Jeff deeply, Lucia said word by word, "I can only promise you what I can achieve. Nothing else." Lucia knew it clearly that great changes had happened in Evergreen Meditation Yard after Mr. Makoto's death. And all the people there hated Bishop so much. However, they would be persons like Bishop if they were to commit a murder. Besides, they were monks and respected lives so much.

Not doing anything illegal was the line Lucia drew, and she herself would never cross this line. After a pause, Lucia turned around and told Zane, "Don't forget to call him a doctor to bandage his wounds." After saying so, Lucia was striding out of the room, but she heard Jeff's cold voice, "I don't need your mercy."

Lucia paused for a moment and then walked out without a word. Soon, Zane caught up with her and said in a voice with dissatisfaction. "Lucia, that old guy was being so impolite to you. Why do you still ask me to call him a doctor?" Hesitating for a few seconds, Lucia replied after a deep breath, "I owe him." It was a matter of course to pay one's own debt. Lucia owed the entire Evergreen Meditation Yard, but she couldn't pay all of them in a short time. Zane pouted. He was supposed to defend Lucia, but he didn't say anything in the end after hearing her words.

Lucia was a bit exhausted when she arrived home. She went downstairs after taking a shower, and intended to check the two kids. But she was stopped by Elisa. Lucia was kinda confused, "Mom, what's up?" Elisa pulled her seriously to the side with a frown, "Are you good with Paul?" Lucia was a bit surprised to hear so, and still felt annoyed when thinking of what happened to her and Paul last time. She wanted to explain something to Elisa but still didn't say a word in the end.

Seeing Lucia's reaction, Elisa got to know the answer. She said seriously to Lucia after a sigh, "Lucia, I mean, the quarrels between couple should be mended overnight. Okay? A silent thing is no good for your relationship. Besides, you should think about your kids. Right?" Lucia was being silent. After a moment of pondering, she continued to say to Elisa, "Mom, don't worry about us. I'll handle it. myself."

Elisa didn't know the real relationship between Lucia and Paul, so it made sense that she persuaded Lucia like that. Lucia could understand her. After pondering it over, Lucia thought Paul really had done a lot for her and the kids during these years. He had been waiting for her for six years and never had a thing for any woman during the process. Thinking of it, Lucia did think she owed him a lot, and shouldn't blame him for what he did to her last time. Paul respected Lucia and didn't make any unreasonable requests to her.

When Lucia entered the lobby, she saw a few persons sitting around a large round table in the distance, and Paul was among them. He had changed into a white POLO shirt, casual and relaxed. As for the others sitting around the table, Lucia knew none of them Taking at deep breath, Lucia walked towards the table.

She didn't know if it was telepathy or something, as Paul subconsciously turned his head and looked her way when he was talking to someone else with laughter. The two of them met the gaze of each other, and they both were surprised. And soon, Paul let out a tender smile towards Lucia. He turned to the man beside him and said something with a smile. After that, he stood up and walked towards her. Raising his eyebrows at Lucia, Paul asked softly, "What are you doing here?" His tone was relaxing, not unpleasant or awkward at all, as if nothing had ever happened between them. Seeing his reaction, Lucia smiled, "It's quite boring at home. I heard from Zane that you would play golf here, so I came. Maybe I can have fun here." Looking at Lucia gently, Paul let out a smile, "You will. Follow me." Reaching out his hand, Paul put his arm around her shoulder and took her to the big round table.

The people on the table over there all looked at them with different expressions. When a man in his forties saw them, he first said with a smile, "I was wondering why Mr. Thomas didn't ask for a beauty to keep him company. Now I know he has had one." Paul smiled and gently pulled Lucia to sit down beside him. The waiter next to them sent a new set of tableware to Lucia and then picked up the red wine bottle to pour her glass, but he was stopped by Paul. "Excuse me, please send her a glass of squeezed orange juice with no ice cubes." The waiter nodded immediately and turned to get it ready. At this moment, all the others on the table looked at Lucia with complicated expressions, especially the other women who cast a glance at Lucia.
