Chapter 807 Dangerous Man
Lucia urged softly many times before Edmund's car slowly stopped in front of Perfect Fortune. She immediately got out of the car, her palms sweaty.
The waiter at the door recognized Lucia at first glance and didn't stop her because the future heir to the Adams family was inside.
Edmund, however, was stopped at the door. After all, Perfect Fortune was one of the few high-end places in Sonirie and not everyone was allowed to enter. Edmund was not angry at all and just waited quietly at the door. It would end the same whether they found the children or not so he didn't care.
Lucia rushed into Sophie and August's exclusive private room and saw Sophie talking happily to Phillip in her arms.
Timothy and Janet were sitting next to them. They cowered in fear when they saw Lucia bursting in furiously. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped.
Finally, Janet gathered her courage and whispered to Phillip, "Look, I told you Mommy would pick us up. I didn't lie to you."
Phillip nodded happily.
Timothy, Janet!" yelled Lucia angrily as she quickly walked toward them, "how dare you bring Phillip here without my knowledge? What if something happened to you?"
Timothy winked at Janet and apologized obediently. Sorry, mommy. You're so busy at work so I wanted to do something for you. I was wrong.1'
Lucia's heart softened when she heard Timothy's injured voice and saw that the two children were afraid to look at her. She sighed and said softly, "I was worried about you. Phillip is not in a good state..."
Sophie put Phillip down, walked up to Lucia, and rolled her eyes at her. "Timothy and Janet are the smartest kids I've ever met. You should be glad they didn't sell you out instead of worrying about them.’
Lucia was speechless and embarrassed. She admitted that Timothy and Janet were smart, but they were children in her eyes anyway. It was embarrassing when Sophie called her stupid and she quickly thought about how to contradict her.
However, Sophie knew what she was thinking and immediately said, "Come on, I can read your mind."
A glint of shrewdness passed across Lucia’s eyes. She teased, "You're getting more and more like Joshua. You're both mean."
Sophie came closer and tickled her.
After joking for a while, Lucia asked, "Seriously, you seem to have just communicated well with Phillip. What are the odds he recovers?"
Only after Sophie left did Edmund put on a softer look and said to Lucia, "It's getting late. I'll take you home."
The car started slowly. The three children sat together in the back seat, and
Lucia chatted with Edmund in the passenger seat.
Lucia, Phillip has returned safely. You don't have to blame Timothy and Janet.
They did it for Phillip's own good. They were just a little immature," Edmund said slowly.
The topic had nothing to do with their conversation. Lucia found it strange, but she didn't think much of it. Mr. Shea, thank you for looking at this from Timothy and Janet's point of view, but I'll definitely lecture them," she said politely.
The unhappy look on Edmund's face disappeared at once. He had brought it up to remind Lucia not to forget that the two children had done wrong, but to his surprise, she had no intention of blaming them. Soon the car was one turn away from the Adams villa, and he was going to add fuel to the fire.
However, before he could say anything, Timothy's voice came from the back seat. "Mr. Shea, please stop the car at the intersection. Daddy will be unhappy to see us get out of someone else's car so late.'
Edmund's eyes quickly went dim and he said coldly, "So Mr. Adams doesn't have a generous mind."
