Chapter 83
Lucian pondered, as a hunch about the red knot tied to Allison’s phone started to form in his mind
Even if it was a coincidence, even if many people tied knots like that, he still held on to a sliver of hope
He opened his mouth to ask, “Were you… That day… Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Mr. Lindberg”
A s t’s voice suddenly came from outside, “Mr Lindberg, it’s mealtime:
The hope in Lucian’s eyes gradually faded, and he replied coldly, “I got it
He gave Allison a final, deep look before he left.
It wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared from sight that Allison finally let her guard down
Grabbing the cleaning tools, she waited a while before opening the door to leave.
She had meant to avoid others, but as soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Linda.
Linda looked at her in surprise, “Allison?”
Then, she peeked towards the balcony, disbelief in her eyes. Didn’t Lucian just leave from there?
Linda had been mopping outside and saw Lucian leave just two minutes ago, only to see Allison
emerging afterward.
Allison and Lucian were actually…
*Allison, you and..”
“Shush!” Allison quickly covered her mouth, “Linda, keep this secret for me.”
“Oh my g d, you’re actually with Lucian?” Linda exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes wide.
Allison knew there was a misunderstanding, but she didn’t know how to explain the scene on the
balcony
She shook her head, “It’s not what you think.”
Linda gave her a teasing look, “Not what I think? You’re really something, you dare to be with Lucian.
Penelope would be furious if she knew.”
Thinking of this, Linda felt a sense of schadenfreude, but knowing Penelope was pregnant, she couldn’t
help feeling worried for Allison.
Knowing that explaining to Linda was useless, Allison sighed, “It really isn’t what you think, just… don’t
let it out.”
“Alright, I get it. Don’t worry, you better get back to work before the lady sees you and scolds you
again.”
“Thanks, Linda”
At lunchtime, Carter sat at the head of the table, with Cora, Lucian, and Kamilla Lindberg by his side.
Carter looked stern, but it was obvious that he was delighted because of Penelope’s pregnancy.
Lean seized the opportunity to suggest, “Penelope’s pregnancy is a great blessing for both our families.
Why don’t we arrange the wedding before her belly starts to show?”
Lucian frowned slightly
Carter glanced at him without a word, “Lucian, what do you think?”
Lucian’s gaze swept towards Penelope, who was shyly lowering her head, her face full of irrepressible
anticipation.
Getting married was inevitable. If it had been before, he might have agreed to her request, but now…
Lucian withdrew his gaze, saying flatly, “A wedding is a big deal. We need to discuss carefully before
picking a date.”
Cora agreed, “Indeed, the Lindberg family’s weddings must be as grand and exquisite as possible.
Penelope, don’t worry. You need patience and to take good care of your
health.”
With that said, Lean had no choice but to back down, “You’re right. I was indeed a bit impulsive.”
Now that Penelope was pregnant, the wedding was a must.
Lean was not in a rush, but Penelope could not wait any longer. She was well aware of who the father
of the child in her belly was. The longer it took, the more restless she would feel
“But…”
