Chapter 586 Was It a Show for Her to See?

Lucia's most recent memory of Adeline was from five years ago. At that time, she was a popular actress. She was close to August, and their relationship appeared to be more intimate than others. After she went abroad, her name was never heard of again.

After returning to the country, Adeline's name was nothing more than a gust of wind. After the wind had passed, it disappeared without a trace. However, she did not expect that she would meet her again under such circumstances.

Now, she was still by August's side. The two of them looked very close to each other. Now that August had divorced Jeanne, it was normal for him to have another woman by his side. However, for some reason, Lucia felt empty and weirdly uncomfortable.

Her gaze inadvertently swept to the other side of the table. Obviously, August had also seen her. But now, he was looking at Adeline as she sat opposite him. His face was calm, and the corners of his lips were raised. It was as though there was no one else in his eyes.

She sniffled, and an indescribable sense of loss welled up in her heart.

At this moment, Paul suddenly called out her name softly, asking, "Lucia, what's wrong?"

Lucia snapped back to her senses and hurriedly smiled apologetically at him. She then said softly. "It's nothing. I was just thinking about something..."

"Alright." Paul nodded slightly and asked gently, "Well, what do you think of my proposal?"

"Sorry. What was it?" Lucia asked before she could fully understand what he meant.

Paul was not in a hurry. He curled his lips and patiently repeated what he had just said. "We will have a wedding in Austos. First of all, it is because we skipped the wedding and our parents were not there when we signed the papers. I've always regretted this a little. Second of all, I want everyone to know that you are my wife and not just any woman."

Lucia lowered her eyelids. Her heart was a mess, and she could feel it thumping in her chest. She took a deep breath, not knowing how to respond to Paul's proposal.
