Chasing Back My Ex-wife

Chapter 178

The people at the table all stood up and did not dare to say a word. It was not until Arthur sat down for a while that they sat down one by one.

Someone looked at Lucy without hiding anything and began to discuss her face-to-face—

"What's the use of giving birth to a son? I don't care about her at all!" Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"If it weren't for the two children, she wouldn't even have the qualification to enter our Johnson family!"

"Her mother and brother are already on the news. How much better can she be?"

Lucy felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but he didn't say anything... Most of the time, it was the truth. There was nothing to refute.

But she could not bear it. Caden couldn't bear it. He stood up and said innocently, "The teacher said that if you have any problems, you should say it in person. If you speak ill of others behind their backs, you will be punished. Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't interrupt an adult's words. This is the most basic etiquette. Didn't your mommy teach you?"

The others all echoed—

"If he is like this now, he must have learned it from his mommy!"

"It's time to ask grandpa to find him a etiquette teacher. It's not good to go out and make a fool of him."

"It's just that we don't care about him. If he speaks like this outside, he will get into trouble!"

Lucy frowned when he heard this. They could bully her, but they definitely couldn't bully her son!

She pursed her lips and was about to stand up when Arthur's cold voice sounded. "If you have any problems with my son, tell me face to face. Who's first?"

He glanced at the crowd with a cold look in his eyes.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word.

"If you don't want to say it, shut your mouth!" Arthur slammed his chopsticks on the plate, his body giving off waves of cold air.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They even deliberately relaxed their breathing.

Caden did not appreciate it at all. She snorted and dragged Lucy away. "Mommy, I want to set off fireworks!"

"That scumbag brought Aunt Sheng here. I won't forgive him!"

"Alright." Lucy didn't want to stay in this kind of chaotic place anymore. It was too noisy during the new year!

Arthur's eyes followed the dejected back of the adult and child as they left. He felt depressed and uncomfortable and stood up unconsciously.

"Young... Mr. Johnson, if you hold on for two more days, perhaps Ms. Morgan will realize her feelings for you." Ruby was also a woman. She was very clear about one thing: a woman's mind was more sensitive during the holidays and could not be harmed.

Only then did Arthur realize that he had already stood up. He frowned and said, "Don't mention this again in the future."

The one who needed to be forgiven was Lucy, not him!

"Okay." Ruby lowered her gaze and hid the smile in her eyes. It seemed that Mr. Johnson had received a photo of her and Mr. Pate and misunderstood Lucy.

In this way, Mr. Wallace's plan had been half successful. Soon, she would be free!

Setting off fireworks was just an excuse, but after Lucy came out, he had nothing to do. He simply asked the servants for some fireworks and found an open space to set off fireworks.

Caden was afraid of the sound of fireworks flying into the sky. She ran far away and covered her ears.

After Lucy lit the fireworks, he quickly ran to the little fellow in his 10-centimeter high heels. Like him, he tightly covered his ears, waiting for the fireworks to bloom.

However —

Four minutes passed. The fireworks rotated a few times on the ground, and the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally went out directly.

Caden was speechless.

Lucy: "..."

There's something wrong with this trend!

"Wait a bit longer, it might fly up soon... right?" Lucy said with uncertainty. He still tightly covered his ears and didn't dare to move forward, fearing that the moment she walked over, the fireworks would fly!

It was the first time for the mother and son to set off fireworks, so they had little experience. They stood there for more than ten minutes, covering their ears in a daze. Only then did they realize that fireworks really could not reach the sky.

Caden looked down and was a little depressed. His mommy was unhappy in the restaurant, so he wanted to play with fireworks, but the fireworks were bullying him!

"There are some problems with this fireworks. I'll try two of them." Lucy consoled him and told him to stand a bit further away.

She placed the two fireworks on the ground, lit them, ran away, covered her ears, and made a set of movements smoothly.

"Mommy, it's flying!" Caden's eyes were shining.

As soon as he finished speaking, the fireworks flew to a place more than three meters high, made a sound as loud as a fart, and then fell to the ground.

The mother and son looked at each other in dismay. Lucy picked up the fireworks and took a look—

[Stay away from sports items, children's special fireworks. Don't worry!]

"Caden, these fireworks are for children. We can only..." Before Lucy could finish his words, there were several explosions not far away.

Peng!

Bang bang!

The fireworks exploded in the dark sky, interweaving into a colorful sea. It was stunning and dazzling.

Lucy stood below the fireworks, watching as the fireworks above his head flowed down like a waterfall, gradually disappearing. Then, the next cluster of fireworks quickly occupied their positions, releasing the most dazzling and brilliant radiance.

"Do you like it?" A cold voice came to Lucy's ears with a slight gust of wind. It was soft, numb, and itchy.

At this moment, she could not tell whether it was a dream or a reality. She subconsciously wanted to say that she liked it.

However, a gentle and cheerful female voice rushed in front of her. "I like it very much! You are so nice to me. Thank you for setting off fireworks for me. I will always remember today."

The hazyness in Lucy's eyes quickly dissipated like a mist, and the only thing that remained was darkness.

She looked in the direction of the voice and saw Elyse standing beside Arthur, wearing a suit jacket and praying with her hands in front of her. Her happiness was about to break through the sky.

The members of the Johnson family also came over and flattered her in a hurry—

"Cousin, you have good taste. The fireworks you chose are so beautiful!"

"As an elder, I'm jealous of being doted on by Caden."

"Caden has never brought a woman back for the Spring Festival. Even though he has been married for so many years, he has never come to the old house for the Spring Festival. This is the first time that she has asked the old master for help!"

When Lucy looked over, Arthur also happened to look over. The two's eyes met, and there was no passion in their eyes. There was only tension.

She took the initiative to look away and pulled the little fellow. "This place is only suitable for releasing fireworks, not for watching fireworks. Let's find someone to ask and see which place is suitable for watching fireworks."

His father was setting off fireworks with his lover. It was better not to let Caden watch such a scene.

"Mommy, go wear a dress first, and then we'll go and see the fireworks!" Caden frowned and looked in the direction of the scum. She snorted gloomily and dragged Lucy to the south.

Lucy was wearing high heels and a long evening gown, so it was inconvenient for her to walk. "Slow down."

His son's pain was not in vain. He knew that his heart ached for her!

Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Arthur lost interest and turned back to the restaurant.

The relatives of the Johnson family looked at each other. They looked at Arthur and then at Ruby, who was left alone. They did not understand what was going on and followed Arthur in unison.

Usually, they didn't have much of a chance to meet Arthur. Today, they had to seize the opportunity to gain a good impression of him!
