Long Time, My Baby novel Chapter 8

At eight o'clock in the evening, Leah got a call from Lucian as soon as she left Caspar Manor.

"I'm in the underground parking lot." Lucian told Leah his location.

"Okay."

After walking out of Caspar Manor, Leah walked quickly to the parking lot. Lucian honked the horn. Seeing the tail light of an Aston Martin on, she muttered in her heart, 'Rich people are capricious.'.

If her eyes didn't deceive her, the car he sent her to the hospital that day was a limited edition of Rolls-Royce. She had seen it in a magazine. She also knew the name of the car today. After all, she had been in Caspar Manor for a long time, and she had seen a lot of them.

She walked over, got in the car and sat on the passenger seat. The feeling of luxury car was different. She couldn't afford it in her life, but she had been in many luxury cars.

While she was giggling in her heart, she suddenly felt a warm breath coming towards her. She came back to her senses and stared at the charming side face in front of her. For a moment, she blushed and could not say anything.

Lucian bent over and fastened the seat belt for her. He glanced at her pretty face and smiled.

"Seat belt." Lucian was good at controlling his emotions.

A cold and indifferent "kind reminder" came into Leah's ears, and her face, which had been red, became even redder. She stuttered, "thank, thank, thank you, Mr. Lucian."

Lucian raised his eyebrows and said in a calm voice, "You're welcome. Helping others is the most important thing. Besides, I'm your boss. It's natural for me to help the employees."

"Okay." Leah was dumbfounded. It was natural for her boss to fasten the seat belt for his employees?

But he was so close to her just now. She had to admit that the man beside her was indeed very handsome. Although she had a rich and handsome boyfriend, Charlie's face was carved like a sculpture, always emitting a cold aura.

However, Lucian was different. He had a delicate face, and his three-dimensional features were charming. If he wore a white suit, he would definitely be so cold that no one could resist the temptation.

Leah stared at the man who was focusing on driving without blinking.

Lucian seemed to feel the gaze of the woman, and he was in a good mood. The smile in her eyes went straight to the bottom of his heart. "How do you think of me?"

"You look like an immortal." Leah said unconsciously.

Lucian was choked and couldn't keep up with her thoughts. He could only ask helplessly, "Why?"

"Because you are handsome." Leah was still in a daze.

Lucian was depressed. Handsome? He didn't see how handsome the immortal was on TV. Well, he'd better not continue the topic that could have made him narcissistic, but now made him depressed.

Lucian turned around and happened to meet Leah's eyes. Seeing the smile on his face, Leah immediately turned her head to look out of the window and cried in her heart, 'oh my God! What did I say just now?'.

The smile in Lucian's eyes became wider. Noticing the little woman's embarrassment, she stopped making things difficult for her.

"What do you want to eat?" Lucian changed the topic.

"Would you like some porridge?" Leah was a little embarrassed. The boss asked her to have dinner with him, but she said she wanted to have porridge.

"Porridge is good for the stomach and intestines. I know a porridge shop is delicious." Lucian turned around and drove towards another street.

Qin Garden Porridge Shop was a century old famous porridge shop in Wilson city. It was famous all over the country with quiet environment and rich Chinese characteristics.

Leah liked eating porridge at night and knew this porridge shop, but the porridge here was extremely expensive. In fact, the price was just too expensive for her.

They found a table by the window and sat down. They ordered two bowls of pure porridge and some other salty dishes. Although they were not delicacies, they were light and delicious.

"Why do you eat pure porridge?" Although it was famous for its delicious porridge, it was very common for Lucian. She didn't order other expensive porridge, but ordered a bowl of it.

"Because it made the best porridge with the simplest material. In fact, it's not easy to control the temperature. It's simple but full of effort. I like it." Leah smiled happily.

"Well, simple but full of effort." Lucian took a spoonful of white porridge and put it into his mouth. The faint smell of rice spread in his mouth. Looking at Leah who was eating porridge carefully, he suddenly felt that how could there be such delicious porridge in the world. He decided to eat porridge from now on.

The happy dinner time was over. Lucian insisted on sending Leah home. It was too late. It was not safe for a girl.

Lucian was driving steadily. Leah looked out of the window at the night in silence.

Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. It seemed to be Charlie.

"Mr. Lucian, stop the car." Leah couldn't help yelling, her heart trembling.

Lucian was stunned by her roar. She hurriedly stepped on the brake and asked, "What's wrong?"

Without answering, Leah opened the door and got out of the car. Lucian felt something was wrong, so he followed Leah out of the car.

It was the biggest bar in the city by the roadside. Seeing that Charlie entered the bar with a coquettish woman in his arms, Leah couldn't help but follow him. Lucian followed closely behind her and found that they were going to enter the bar. Lucian frowned but still followed.

Charlie kept rubbing the woman's slim waist with his hands with a mischievous smile on his face. The woman hung on him as if she was boneless.

Seeing the intimate behavior of the two people, [叶歆瑶] clenched her fists and her lips turned pale.

"You are so annoying." The woman said coquettishly. Then they entered a suite.

Leah was stunned. What a familiar voice! The woman at the airport that day was called Alina. She was so stupid that she believed in the so-called friendship.

"Charlie, you're awesome!" The woman complimented.

"You little siren." The man growled in a sexy voice.

Leah stood coldly outside their room, listening to the ambiguous sound inside. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Lucian stepped forward and held her trembling body. Seeing her little face covered with tears, he felt a sudden pain in his heart.

"Don't cry. It's not worth it for such a man." Lucian said softly.

Leah didn't say a word. She cried and sobbed silently.

Nearly 1.5 hours later, the door was opened. When Charlie walked out of the room with Alina in his arms, he saw a man standing at the door with a woman in his arms.

Hearing the sound of door opening, Bonnie moved. [穆瑾瑜] let go of her and looked straight at the man in front of her.

"Why?" Leah stood there for 1.5 hours and cried for 1.5 hours. Her voice was hoarse.

"Oh, Charlie, your fiancee." There was a trace of mockery and flaunting in Alina's eyes.

"Why are you here? How dare you follow me? " Charlie said coldly with anger.

"We are going to be engaged." Leah tried her best to support herself.

"So what?" A trace of impatience flashed through Charlie's eyes.

Leah stepped forward and pulled away the woman in her fiance's arms. With flames in her eyes, she said, "If you don't like me, just say it. Why did you do this to me?"

"I really don't like you, but my grandfather said that the only condition for me to take over the Glory Group is to marry you. Do you think I'm willing to do that?" Charlie sneered.

Leah said in astonishment, "I've been your pawn for two years."

"Yes, so you have to get engaged to me obediently. Don't worry. Once I get the shares, I will set you free."

"No way!"

Taking a look at the man who had been silent all the time, Charlie said, "Oh, Mr. Lucian, You like leftovers."

Lucian stepped forward and gave Charlie a heavy punch without his precaution. "Are you a man?"

Not to be outdone, Charlie quickly stood up and fought back.

"Stop it." Leah couldn't stand it anymore, "Mr. Lucian, let's go."

They separated. Lucian tidied up her collar, but there was no sign of bruise on his face. On the contrary, it was Charlie, whose eyes were bruised.

Leah walked up to Charlie and looked straight into his eyes for the first time. "Charlie, in return for your company for the past two years, I promised to be engaged to you, but I will cancel it immediately after the engagement."

"Of course, do you think you can be my wife? Humph! "

Looking at the face she had loved for two years, Leah felt disgusted and ran out of the bar without looking back.
