Chapter 528
Chapter 528
Lucille returned with her child in her arms.
On the way, Aurora was asking, "Mom, can we really wash this off?"
Lucille comforted her over and over again.
"Yes, we can. I promise you."
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Three K Art Academy.
There were two lanterns at the door. They were lit and emitted a faint light.
Lucille pressed the doorbell, and Hugo opened the door for them.
When she entered, she passed by the screen wall and realized that the lights of the main hall were still
on. She felt surprised, "It's so late. Are there still guests?"
Ralph would usually only go to the main hall when there were guests.
"That's right," Hugo did not say much.
When she saw that Ralph hadn't returned to his room, Aurora hurriedly broke free from Lucille's
embrace. She ran and shouted, "I want to find Master Zane!" 'Aurora!' When Lucille saw her running
away, she was afraid that there were important guests in the hall, so she hurriedly ran to chase after
her.
However, Aurora was too fast. When Lucille caught up to her, they were already at the door of the main
hall.
"Aurora, you're back?"
Ralph's expression was originally serious, but upon seeing Aurora, he immediately smiled and waved
at her.
"Master Zane, look at my face!" When she saw Ralph, her little face, which was just fine a moment ago,
immediately turned depressed, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh no, Aurora, what happened to you? Who bullied you?"
Ralph had a few children, but most of them had gone abroad, and the only grandson that was willing to
have children was Zoel. However, he did not even have a girlfriend.
Ralph treated Aurora as his own great-granddaughter.
"I was drawing today, and our teacher told us to draw a sun with a round object..."
Aurora sobbed pitifully. She repeated what had happened to him.
"Aurora, you are so smart! You even know how to use your face to draw a sun!"
Unlike Zoel, who was laughing his head off a while ago, Ralph felt positive about this matter.
Ever since she came in, Lucille's gaze was focused on Aurora and Ralph. She completely ignored the
other person in the room.
It was not until she realized that Aurora did not anger Ralph that she felt at ease. She shifted her gaze
and was taken aback by the man she saw.
"Mr. Moore..."
When Lucille saw Franklin, her first reaction was to hide Aurora.
After she took two steps towards her, she realized that Aurora had gone for her art class earlier, and
she had drawn all over her face...
Under such a situation, no matter how sharp Franklin's eyes were, he would probably not be able to
recognize Aurora's similar eyes...
"Oh, I couldn't find you, so I came here."
Franklin stood up and looked at Lucille. He put his hands behind his back, looking somewhat reserved.
"Mr. Moore, I..." She originally wanted to say something, but she glanced at Aurora, who was next to
Ralph. "Can we talk outside?" "Sure." She wanted to go out first.
However, just as she moved, Aurora immediately ran over and asked, "Mom, who is this man? Where
are you going with him?"
At this moment, Franklin was already standing in front of her. He lowered his eyes and stared at her
face, which was covered with orange paint. "Is this your daughter?"
Lucille took Aurora behind her and nodded.
"Yes, she's not yours."
She emphasized the words "She's not yours".
Ralph, who was not far away, raised his head and looked at the two of them.
"Yes, I know." Franklin nodded, but there was no sign of anger on his face.
Lucille squatted down and told her daughter, "Aurora, go and play with Master Zane first. Let Mommy
talk to this uncle for a while, okay?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Franklin also squatted down a little bit and asked Aurora in a friendly tone, "Could you lend your mother
to me for a while?"
She looked at Franklin's face and nodded.
"Okay, I will lend my mom to you."
After that, she skipped along the way and returned to Ralph's side.
Lucille and Franklin went out. They walked along the corridor and arrived at a small garden in front. It
was night time, so the sky was getting dark. Fortunately, there were night lights in the garden.
"Mr. Moore, I am living a good life right now. Can you not disrupt my life?"
Lucille got straight to the point.
"I know." He also did not expect her to say this.
She thought of Zoel's words earlier and said, "If you are merely unwilling to have your belongings taken
away by other people, I can tell you that nothing is going on between me and Zoel. I don't have any
relationships with any other man either. I will raise Aurora alone."
She was no longer the same woman she was back then. Now, she had the ability to earn money, and
she could live a good life wherever she went.
More importantly, she could conceal her feelings for Franklin very well now.
He stared at her. After listening to her words, he was silent for a long time before he spoke. "I regret it.
Can we start over?"
"No, we can't."
This sentence pulled her back to the night from two years ago.
She would not make the same mistake twice!
"Lucille, I was wrong. During these three years without you, I realized how important you are to me. I
want to be with you. As long as you are willing to come back to my side, I will obey your every whim
and will."
When Franklin saw that she refused him, he panicked.
In the past, he had always been the initiator and conductor of their feelings. He was always the one
who called the shots.
However, this time, he could not call the shots towards the woman he cared most about.
"Mr. Moore, I have been fooled by you once, even twice, and it won't happen a third time." Lucille
lowered her head, hiding the sadness in her eyes. "I know I was a fool. I used to love you foolishly, and
I never fought back even when you hurt me, but now, I have thought it through."
"Not this time. For the past two years, I have thought and figured it out. I know that you are what I
want."
Franklin raised his hand and wanted to hold Lucille, but she avoided him easily.
She took a step back, maintaining a distance of half a meter from him. "Mr. Moore, we are not familiar
with each other. Please mind your actions."
Her tone was full of alienation.
For a while, Franklin thought of his happy days with Lucille. It has only been a few years, but it seemed
like a century had passed.
This time, he was really panicking.
Back then, he was so naive as to believe that Lucille would come back to him as long as he talked to
her properly. After all, she had once loved him so much.
However, he knew that he was too arrogant now.
"Lucille, what should I do to make you come back to me willingly?"
She stared at Franklin.
This was such an interesting world. In just a few years, the two of them had actually switched roles.
She raised her head again and said seriously, "Mr. Moore, you are rich and handsome. So many
women like you that they can line up from here all the way to your company. You have many women to
accompany you, so you don't have to waste your time here for the self-esteem you are unwilling to
lose."
Franklin heard her words, but said stubbornly, "Then I'll pursue you, is that alright?"
His words made her pause, but she still took a few steps back. "I'm sorry. That won't do. Aurora has to
sleep. You should go back earlier too."
After she finished, she turned around and walked to the main hall without looking back.
