She took the bus to the supermarket first. She bought some vegetables and fruits. Thinking that William was in poor health now, she should add more nutrition. Then she bought a pheasant and a fresh fish, She brought another box of milk and felt almost done. Then she checked out and left the supermarket. But because there were too many things to buy, when she was leaving the supermarket, Lucia finally walked to the roadside and prepared to take a taxi to William's house.
She don't know what happened today. She stood by the road and waited for more than ten minutes, but no taxi was willing to stop. When she took out her mobile phone and wanted to call Paine, a BMW X5 stopped in front of her with a sound!
"Quinn !" Seeing this familiar car, Lucia's bad mood was cleared away instantly! Looking at Quinn walking down from the cab, she laughed happily.
Quinn walked up to her with a smile. When he lifted the things on the ground, he would put them in the trunk. Lucia stopped him immediately!
"Quinn, I have something to do today, you go first !" She is going to William's home, let Quinn send him there, it can't be trouble!
"What can I do? I just came back to look around these two days! Are you still standing on scruples to me? Get in the car !" Quinn said and put everything into the car regardless of Lucia's objection.
Lucia didn't know what to say for a while, so she hesitated for a moment.
Quinn packed up the things and then sat in the cab. Looking at Lucia beside him, he asked with a smile, "Today I have a private job. Don't inform me! Go ahead, guest, where do you want to go ?"
Hearing his words, Lucia couldn't help laughing, but her eyes went dark when she thought about where she was going, "I'm going to William's house !"
Quinn was stunned for a moment, feeling a little sad, but he still looked at Lucia and smiled, "I see! Then let's go !"
"Um ..."
The car drove out for a distance, and neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was somewhat depressed. At last, Quinn broke the silence initiatively: "Lucia, how is William ?" Even if he has no hope now, he still needs to know what kind of person she married!
"Very good ..." Lucia answered with a faint smile. Although she was not sincere, she didn't want others to worry about her.
"Really? How can he do this? You bought so many things, why didn't he come to pick you up ?" Hearing her answer, there was no credibility at all. Quinn didn't believe what she said at all.
"He is a Colonel! Half a year ago, his body was injured. He is now in a wheelchair, so he can't come to pick me up ..." Lucia answered slowly.
"Chi --!" The BMW stopped with a squeak on the road!
Quinn looked at her incredibly: "is he sitting in a wheelchair temporary or ..." He didn't dare to ask the following words.
Lucia looked at him and pulled out a smile to comfort him: "Don't worry! He will still stand up !"
"What about your wedding ?"
"He hasn't recovered from his leg injury yet. It is estimated that he will hold his wedding in a wheelchair ..." Speaking of this, Lucia looked at his worried expression and then smiled: "You don't have to worry, he is really fine ..." She didn't want her and William's wedding to go wrong again, because no matter either of them could stand another blow!
"Lucia ..." Quinn didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Don't worry! He is really fine !" Lucia gave him a comforting smile again.
Quinn turned to look at the car outside the window and breathed a sigh of relief. He started the car again dejectedly.
The car crossed several roads in the city and finally stopped in front of an upscale apartment. Quinn took all the things out of the car, and forced her into the elevator regardless of Lucia's insistence. He saw the elevator door close slowly, then he left trustingly.
The elevator rose slowly, Lucia leaned against the bright elevator wall, with mixed feelings in her heart, but there was a way, since you had chosen, you should stick to it. Not for anything else, but for the expectation of her parents and the last dignity in her nine-year love ...
When the elevator was opened, Lucia saw Paine who was waiting at the door of the elevator at a glance. She smiled with a little surprise: "Do you have telepathy? How do you know I'm here ?"
Paine grinned and quickly took things out of the elevator: "the colonel told me! Let me wait here. I didn't expect that you were really here, Madam !"
Lucia didn't take it to heart either. She carried something and went into the living room of the apartment with Paine. When entering the door, she saw William looking at her in the living room in a wheelchair. She smiled at him faintly when facing his eyes.
William glanced at her silently, then looked at the things between her and Paine and said slowly, "Don't buy so many things next time !"
"OK, I know !" Lucia nodded and put everything in the kitchen. Then she went to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"Who was that man just now ?" William looked at Lucia opposite and asked coldly.
"What man? Which man ?" Lucia asked him in a silly way, "the floor of this apartment is so high that he is still sitting in a wheelchair. Is it impossible to see Quinn? Knowing that this person was narrow-minded, she 'd better not say anything, in case of friction.
"The one who took you here was just downstairs !" William Still asked her with a poker face.
"Aren't you sitting in a wheelchair? How did I come to such a high floor? Can you see it clearly ?" Lucia was really a little puzzled. How could people in the wheelchair see clearly what happened downstairs on such a high balcony?
"The balcony here is hollowed out !" William reminded her without changing his face.
Lucia turned her head and looked at it immediately, and found that there was a part of the balcony which was hollowed out and decorated with glass!
Damn!
It seemed that he really saw everything just now. Lucia blushed with a guilty face. Looking back at him, she explained, "That's my brother! He saw that I bought too many things, so he take me here !"
"When did you have an extra brother? Why don't I know ?" William looked at her doubtfully. Although he was not very familiar with her, he still knew the situation of her family.
"He is our neighbor! I happened to meet him at the gate of the supermarket, so he took me here !"
"Does he also live in your community ?"
"No! Our family used to be neighbors when we lived in a bungalow, but later we were not in the same place !"
"Since you call him brother, it seems that you have a good relationship! What does he do ?" William seemed to be very interested in this question and kept holding on to it.
Lucia really didn't want to continue this topic with him, but she couldn't help answering when he asked her: "The restaurant owner !" Then she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen: "What do you want to eat? I will make it for you !"
"Since he runs a restaurant, let's go to his place to eat this noon !" William proposed slowly behind her.
Lucia stopped suddenly, looked back at him and refused directly: "No !"
William looked at her with a funny smile on his face and asked, "isn't it your brother? Why not ?"
Lucia didn't know how to answer this question for a while, so she had to look at him and said directly: "I don't like to owe others !"
"We are not eating the Overlord meal, let alone that we must meet in the future, isn't it good to meet now ?" William didn't know what happened today. After saying that, before Lucia could speak, he turned around the wheelchair and looked at Paine next to him and said, "Paine, let's go out to eat later! Get ready !"
Paine nodded immediately and answered, "Yes, Colonel !"
Lucia looked at this man speechlessly. She really couldn't figure out what is he mean! She really didn't want him to appear in front of Quinn, but She didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so She had to stare at his back and keep silent!
William seemed to have sensed her gaze and slowly turned around the wheelchair to look at her. His expression slowed down a little, "although I was not familiar with you before, I still know something about your family, I always thought that you and your mother were the only two, but I didn't expect that there was a neighbor and a big brother. I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to contact more people around you!"
Lucia took a look at Paine who walked into the study and said directly and impolitely, "We are just nominal couples! Is it useful for you to know so much ?"
As usual, William had already been angry with such words, but today he looked in a good mood, and Lucia's words didn't destroy his mood at all. He looked at Lucia and continued to ask slowly, "isn't he just an ordinary neighbor brother? Why do you mind me seeing him so much? Do you have other relationships besides your neighbors ?"
Looking at his eyes, Lucia knew that although this person didn't seem to talk much, he was actually very capable of distorting facts. Thinking of this, she looked at him and nodded: "OK! Since you are so curious, then go !"
"Then you call him first, otherwise it is impolite to go like this !"
Lucia glanced at him and thought it was really necessary to make a phone call first. She hesitated instantly when she took out her mobile phone from her bag and found Quinn's phone number. Even if she got through, what did she say? Said he would take his husband to his restaurant? Thinking of what he said to her, she really couldn't bear the heart!
Looking back, she wanted to say a few soft words to William, but there was already no one behind her! She don't know when, he went back to his room!
Lucia sighed softly, thinking that even if they escaped today, they would inevitably meet each other in the future! Her heart is horizontal, and her finger is pressing on her number.
"Lucia! What's up ?" Quinn answered her phone while driving.
"Quinn ... Today at noon ... I want to bring a friend ... Go to your restaurant for dinner ..." Lucia said with a little difficulty.
"Good! You bring your friends to dinner, Quinn welcomes you with both hands !" Quinn answered with a smile as soon as he heard Lucia's words.
"Thank you, Quinn !"
