"Alright, so when are you guys planning to leave? Time waits for no one. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back. That'll be for the best," Koven sighed deeply as he spoke to the three of them."I think we can wait until Lucy is feeling better and set off the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's pack our things and handle our work. That would be best," Hudson said and then looked at the other three."Alright, let's leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, we'll handle our affairs here. I'll go back in the afternoon and tell Lucy that I'll be going on a business trip," Matthew said, glancing at Hudson and Charlie."I'm fine with that. I don't mind. After all, I don't currently have any cases on hand, so I have some free time," Charlie said.Hudson said, "I don't have much going on either. With Koven and Lucy at the company, I can be at ease. Now that Lacee's trouble has been resolved, no one will be causing trouble at the company. I should have everything settled by tomorrow. The
After Lucy finished speaking, she looked at Selena.Selena felt conflicted upon hearing their conversation. She did not know whether she should bravely express her feelings or wait for Koven to confess to her. After all, would it be too abrupt for a woman to tell a guy she liked him? Which woman did not dream of a love story starting with a bouquet of flowers? She was no different.Back then, she got together with a guy at his lowest point and stayed with him for five years. She worked two jobs to support him throughout those years, only for him to suddenly tell her one day that he did not like her anymore. What could she do about it? She had no choice but to end the relationship. After that, she no longer dared to guess a man's thoughts. It was just too exhausting.Selena was just about to speak when she heard a very familiar voice. She turned to look."Selena?"Upon hearing the voice, Selena turned around, and her expression froze completely."Linus Gusman?"Lucy was about
“Are you two…” Lucy pointed at them, unable to believe it. Could such a dramatic scene really happen in real life?Before Selena could speak, Linus interrupted, “It was Selena who helped me get to where I am now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t protect her. I’m really sorry, Selena.” Linus then looked up at Selena.Yes, if it were not for Selena back then, none of this would have happened.He chose Selena at the time because she looked very much like the girl from his childhood with her haircut and glasses...However, he never had any strong feelings for Selena.Even now, he did not feel much for her.“No need to thank me. We parted ways amicably, and we’re both doing well now. I’m content with that.” Selena’s eyes welled up with tears as she spoke.Lucy and Chelsea, having never experienced such things, did not know what to say and remained silent on the side.“Lucy, how are you doing now?” Linus asked with concern.Lucy, still in shock, hurriedly replied, “I’m much better now.
"Matthew!"Lucy watched as Matthew's veins bulged in anger. A sense of panic arose within her.Linus was punched by Matthew and fell against the edge of a nearby table. Clutching his abdomen, he collapsed to the floor.At this moment, Matthew, with his eyes filled with fury, angrily said to Linus, "I warned you before not to come near to Lucy. And now, you dare to do this right in front of me!"Lucy quickly waved her hands and said, "Matthew, you misunderstood. It's not like that at all. Linus saw I was uncomfortable in my position, so he was just helping me adjust the bed a bit.""Lucy, why are you always getting into arguments with me over someone like him? I’ve told you many times that he's no good. Why don't you listen? You always take his side. What am I supposed to think?" Matthew said when he saw Lucy defending Linus, overcome with jealousy.At this moment, Koven spoke up."Lucy, I advise you to stay away from Linus. He's not a good person. Trust me. Charlie, Hudson, and
"Is this true?" Selena cautiously glanced at Linus on the ground and then turned her head toward Koven.Koven sighed, realizing he could not hide the truth any longer. He had to explain to Selena and Lucy, "Earlier, Matthew told me that Linus was a dangerous person. I didn’t believe it at first, so I checked him out on the Mermaid Network. "What I found was shocking. He was an assassin for Spades a long time ago and was involved in three major infamous incidents worldwide. One of the biggest cases was the assassination of a president."Although he has distanced himself from Spades to avoid retaliation, he still works for them. None of us knows what mission he's currently undertaking!"Lucy, hearing this, looked at Matthew. Matthew sighed deeply, feeling helpless.At this moment, Selena had tears welling up in her eyes as she turned to Linus and asked, "Is this true? I want to hear it from you."Linus wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, nodded, and said, "Selena, I’m re
At this moment, a glimmer of excitement sparked in Lucy's and Chelsea's eyes. They seemed to have forgotten all the previous events. Matthew noticed Lucy's envious look, moved closer, and whispered in her ear, "Are you really envious of them? Do you want me to give you another grand wedding?"Lucy immediately blushed upon hearing this. The first time she married Matthew was quite hasty, although he did give her a beautiful wedding."Come on, stop joking. We're an old married couple now. What more romance could we possibly need? We even have a child on the way. What more do you want?" Lucy lowered her head, thinking about what Matthew had just said.Matthew touched her face gently and whispered, "As long as you want it, I can give it to you anytime. And I promise I'll never let you get hurt in this lifetime."Lucy turned to look at Selena and Koven, then turned back and asked, "Is it true that Linus is part of Spades? Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me the truth ea
When Lucy spoke, she began to cry. She really did not expect Linus to make her fall to this state.She only realized now that Linus was the boy from her childhood.Matthew's heart ached when he heard this, wondering what would have happened if Lucy had reunited with Linus before meeting him. Would he and Lucy be strangers? Matthew looked at Lucy with worry in his eyes. "Lucy, if Linus had found his way into your life before me, would you have gotten together with him instead of me?"He asked this with great pain in his heart, and his tone was low. He was eager to get Lucy's answer.Lucy looked at him and said, "No, I've always regarded Linus as a good friend.We played together often when we were kids. Meanwhile, the fate between you and me is something that can't be snatched by anyone."We're both already married now. Even though Linus knew me before you did, that won't change our relationship or our future."Matthew finally relaxed when he heard this and nodded.Chelsea shoo
Selena heard this and lowered her head, whispering, "I think we should wait a bit longer. After all, neither of us really knows much about each other. I want to understand each other better before we get together. "If we're really going to be in a relationship, it should be with marriage in mind. I'm at the age to get married now..."Koven was overjoyed when he heard the word 'marriage'. He wanted to marry Selena the first time he saw her. He did not expect Selena to bring up marriage now."I'll give you a wedding!" Koven said, holding Selena's hand.Before Selena could speak, she was kissed by something soft."Koven is so bold!"Chelsea saw Koven pull Selena into his arms and kiss her. She could not help but smile as she watched the two of them.Selena was directly caught off guard by Koven's move and did not know what to do. Should she push him away or not? However, she did not seem to want to push him away.Could it be that she really liked Koven?How could that be possibl
