"Yes, I like this place too, Master Zane."
Aurora also ran to the pavilion to see the meandering stream. She did not know anything about money.
She only knew she liked the house, and she spoke it out.
"Okay. I'll buy it. I will definitely buy it for you." When Ralph saw her approaching, he bent down and
explained to her what this was about.
Lucille realized that he was determined to buy the house, and there was nothing she could do about it.
She could only wait with him.
In his opinion, even though 50 million was not a small amount, it was not expensive to the point where
he had to hesitate and reconsider. As long as he sold a painting of his in an auction, he would be able
to sell it for millions.
About half an hour later, Ralph got impatient. "Is that guy coming or not? If he's not coming, we will buy
it."
"He's almost here. I've just sent him a message, and he said that he is on the way."
Bob smiled apologetically as he said it.
He felt overjoyed. No matter who he sold the house to, he would be able to make a lot of money.
"Seriously, why don't you tell him that I have bought it? He doesn't need to come anymore."
This was actually Ralph's goal.
However, Bob was in a dilemma. "Master Zane, this person signed the contract first. Had he not signed
the contract, I would definitely not have helped him reserve the house. After all, you are more aware of
the foundation of this house."
"That's right."
A sentence from Bob was enough to quell Ralph's mood, and he calmed down again. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
At last, after half an hour, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the gates of the house.
Bob ran outside excitedly.
Lucille stood close to the door, so she could hear him speaking outside, "Mr. Moore, you are finally
here."
They were separated by a screen wall, and Lucille could not see who Bob was talking to. That being
said, she had roughly guessed his identity since his name was Moore, and he could afford this house.
The first person she thought of was Aurora. She wanted to cover her face, but before she could move,
Bob had brought the man in.
"Lucille."
Franklin said first when he saw her.
"Uncle! So you're the one that wants to buy the house?" Before Lucille said anything, Aurora yelled.
The child's voice was quite sharp, and she attracted everyone's attention with merely one sentence.
Her face was clean that day, but since she had stayed outside for such a long time, her face was red
from the cold. She looked even more lovely than before.
Although she was young, she had a small oval face and long eyes, which was similar to Franklin's.
Before anyone said anything, Bob, who did not know anything, spoke. "Mr. Moore, had you not arrived,
I would never have known that you and Master Zane's great-granddaughter look so alike! This might
even be fate."
No matter how much of a fool Franklin was, he would understand the truth when he saw Aurora.
"Don't talk nonsense." When Lucille heard Bob, she got extremely nervous.
She glanced at Franklin, and he looked at Aurora with mixed emotions. She was all too clear about the
meaning behind his gaze.
She did not know, so she ran towards Franklin in small steps and raised her head to look at him. She
said in a cute tone, "Uncle, Mommy and Master Zane really like this house. Can you not buy it? Let
Mommy buy it."
"Do you like this house?" Franklin squatted down and looked at Aurora seriously. This was the first time
he looked at his daughter from such a close distance.
"Master Zane said that the curvy thing is a meandering stream. Everyone who crosses it has to say
some poetry. If they can't, then they have to be punished." Aurora couldn't feel the emotions in
Franklin's gaze. She turned to the pavilion, "I really love this place!"
Perhaps there was a special connection between the pair of father and daughter. Aurora and Franklin
were not distant from each other at all. They started to talk casually.
"Aurora, forget about it. Let him have it."
Lucille came over and wanted to take her away. She knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, but she
was still trying to stop them...
When Franklin saw her coming over, he said, "Why don't I buy it for you and your mom?"
"There's no need forthat."
Lucille knew why he would buy the house, but she did not expect him to say that.
Aurora also shook her head, "Mom told me that we can't take things from others."
"You are not taking it. It is a gift. I am willing to give it to you as a gift."
Franklin looked at the childish face in front of him, which looked similar to his. He then thought about
what he had done before. He found himself ridiculous.
No wonder Lucille wouldn't forgive him.
"Really? Mom," Aurora did not understand the situation, so she turned around to ask Lucille.
"Mr. Moore, if you are buying this house for other intentions, I would suggest you let us buy it. This way,
you don't have to waste unnecessary money."
Franklin slowly stood up, looking at Lucille and Aurora. He was silent for a long time before he said,
"Lucille, I am sorry. I have mistakenly blamed you before."
Lucille was clear about the reason for his apologies.
"I am living a good life now. Let bygones be bygones."
She didn't know how to face him, so she took Aurora to the edge of the pavilion.
Ralph understood the situation. "Young people should deal with your young troubles.
Since I am an old man, I won't get involved."
"What's wrong?" Aurora could not understand the situation, so she tilted her head and asked.
"Aurora, come, let's go back. Let them handle this by themselves." Ralph reached out to her and took
her to his side.
When he left the house, he shot Bob a look. He immediately understood the situation and followed
Ralph out in a hurry.
When they were left alone, Franklin said, "I just wanted to get closer to you, and I found out that this
house was for sale."
"Mr. Moore, just forget about it."
"I have told you that I will pursue you once again."
"I won't agree to that."
"That's your business. Pursuing you is my business."
After confirming that Aurora was his child, Franklin was even more convinced of his decision to win
Lucille back.
"If we have had misunderstandings, we should just let them go. Besides..." Lucille turned around,
looked at Franklin, and said, "How could I ever go back with you and let you have another chance to
hurt me?"
"I won't ever hurt you anymore... I..."
"I'm sorry to disturb you..."
Franklin was trying to express his sincerity when Bob suddenly budged in from the side of the screen
wall.
"What's the matter?" Franklin turned around and looked at him in a bad mood. If his eyes could kill,
Bob would probably have already died.
"Ahem... There are two women at the entrance of the art academy. They said that they are looking for
Miss Jules. Master Zane wanted me to let you know."
Bob's voice was still trembling. He just realized that he had disturbed Franklin's confession when he
spoke.
"I'll be there immediately."
Lucille thought that Ralph was asking Bob to get her out of the trouble she was in, so she immediately
left the house.
However, merely after a few dozen meters, she heard a woman shouting at the entrance of the art
school. "I am Lucille's mother. I want to see my daughter. Is there anything wrong with that?"
There was no need to guess. The person looking for her was Alma. The other woman beside her may
have been blocked from her view, but Lucille still knew who it was. Natasha.
