Chapter 51
The moment Lucia uttered these words, she regretted them instantly.She sounded like she was planning on having a child with him, so awkward.
August paused, then raised his eyes slightly to look at her.
"Both are fine."
Lucia blushed, nodded in panic, and did not continue the topic.
Upon arrival at the hospital, August queued up to register and accompanied her for the checkup.
More than two hours have passed without their notice after visiting various sections for checkups.
During the wait for the test results, Lucia became thirsty, so she looked around to find a place where she could get some water.
August stood aside with several checklists in hand.
Seeing her looking around, he asked, "What’s the matter?"
Lucia answered truthfully, "I’m a little thirsty…"
Hearing this, August gently pressed her shoulder to get her to sit down.
"Just wait for me here.I’ll get you some water." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Lucia nodded obediently and watched him walk away.
Seeing this, a middle-aged woman sitting next to her couldn’t help but ask, "Is that your boyfriend?"
Lucia smiled and said softly, "He’s my husband."
The middle-aged woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh, what a wonderful husband you have! Besides being tall and handsome, the way he treats you is so sweet.
As opposed to my husband, who even refuses to accompany me to the hospital."
As Lucia gazed at August’s receding figure, her heart was filled with joy.
Throughout her life, she had always assumed that no one would love her except her parents.
Now that he was by her side, she felt very fortunate to have his love.
After a while, Lucia’s cell phone suddenly rang.
When she took out her phone, she saw Mrs.Mitchell was on the line.
"Hello? Mom? What’s up?"
"It’s okay.It’s just that I haven’t seen you in a few days, so I called to ask."
Lucia’s heart skipped a beat as she heard Mrs.Mitchell’s words, and she thought of the order she had given her not so long ago.
It seemed that worrying about things that might never happen increased their chances of happening.
Mrs.Mitchell immediately asked, "Did you talk to August? What time will the wedding be held?"
Lucia took a deep breath and said softly, "Mom, he’s very busy with work, so I’m afraid the wedding will be postponed…"
"However busy he is at work, the wedding cannot be postponed! Silly girl, I knew you couldn’t handle this!"
Mrs.Mitchell was a little angry.
I don’t understand how you could not care about your marriage.
Upon hearing her complaint, Lucia couldn’t help but frown.
"Mom, there’s no rush on this.I’m in the hospital right now.I don’t want to talk about it now, that’s all.Bye."
Mrs.Mitchell’s voice came from the receiver immediately.
"Wait a minute! What are you doing in the hospital? Are you sick?"
"No…"
Lucia paused and put the phone to her ear again.
"I’m here for a health examination."
"Health examination? Are you not feeling well?"
"Not really…"
Lucia hesitated, not knowing what to say for a while.
She had no choice but to confess after being questioned repeatedly by Mrs.Mitchell.
"Yesterday, August took me to his great grandmother’s house to see her, and she told me to prepare for pregnancy and gave me a lot of supplements, and now he is taking me to the hospital for a health
examination…"
Hearing her say this, Ms.
Mitchell’s voice softened.
"She is right.Since you and August already have a marriage license, you should have a baby.We are all looking forward to the arrival of a sweet baby!"
Lucia’s cheeks turned red when she heard what Mrs.Mitchell said, and she couldn’t help but smile.
When she looked up, she saw August walking toward her and said quickly, "Okay, Mom.I gotta go.Bye."
"Okay, okay, bring August home for dinner when you have time.Your dad and I will be waiting for you at home."
Lucia responded quickly and hung up the phone.
As August approached, he handed her a water glass.
"Here you are."
“Thank you."
After another hour or so, they got all the test reports one after another, and everything seemed to be fine.
August sent Peter the electronic reports after returning home from the hospital.
Having done all this, August looked at Lucia, who was eating and didn’t know what was going on and felt complicated.
Lucia inadvertently raised her eyes, noticing August staring at her in a trance.
She asked cautiously, "What’s the matter? Why don’t you eat?"
August said softly.
"I’m not hungry.I’ll watch you eat."
Her tenderness made Lucia a little shy.
"By the way, I got a call today from my mother asking if we could go home for dinner someday."
"Okay, we’ll go see them when we get back from Lakeside Manor Lucia smiled and responded, "Okay!"
Within a blink of an eye, the team building day arrived.
Upon arriving at the company, Lucia noticed that everyone was carrying suitcases of all sizes and chatting excitedly "Lucial"
As Emma ran over from the side, she quickly grabbed Lucia’s hand, looked at her, and couldn’t help but praise her.
"You look so great in this suit!"
In contrast to her usual workplace attire, she wore a white hooded sweater with loose pants and tied her hair into a ponytail.
Her attractive and youthful appearance caught everyone’s attention.
Lucia smiled.
"You look fantastic as well!"
Everyone wore casual clothes since they were going on a tour and they were more active than usual.
After they called the roll, a bus took people from various departments to the Lakeside Manor in Austos City’s suburbs.
After getting into the car, they began discussing excitedly.
"Lakeside Manor is a very interesting place.It was heard that Mr.Adams plans to develop a real estate project there, so this time we set the event location there.
"I have no interest in the project at all.I just want to see Mr.Adams.Did you see it just now? Adams is dressed in army green casual clothes, my God! He’s so handsome!"
"Nympho!"
The atmosphere in the car brightened up after a few jokes.
There were many young girls in almost every department of the company who had fallen for August.
After all, not many young girls could resist an attractive and wealthy boss.
Lucia and Emma sat in the front row of the bus, and could clearly hear the chatter and laughter behind them.
As they were talking and laughing, someone interjected, "It’s okay to be a nympho.
However, don’t get caught up in it.
How can a superb man like Mr.Adams like us? You know what? Adeline Jones, that superstar, is here as well!"
She was a little sleepy at first, but after hearing it, she immediately awoke.
Adeline Jones, the celebrity spokesperson she saw at the jewelry exhibition that day, was a third-tier female star who was very popular recently "What? Didn’t Adeline Jones play a role in That Spring? She’s been very popular recently!"
"That’s right!I saw her get into Mr.Adams’ car just now.The two of them are such a perfect match!"
Lucia felt bad in her heart as she listened to everyone’s words.
Even though she didn’t want to believe these rumors, August and Adeline Jones seemed so close when she visited the shooting site last time.
They rubbed shoulders together and clung to each other like an object and its shadow.
They were indeed a perfect match, as everyone said.
Biting her lip, Lucia clenched her hands.
Thinking about it this way, she and August were really not a good match..
