Chapter 608 Live Our Own Lives

By the time Lucia and Paul returned to West Bridge, it was already lare. Lucia went to her room and took a shower. She had just gone down to the kitchen to make some tea when she

saw her parents sitting on the sofa. They did not talk or watch television. They just sat there, apparently waiting for her.

Lucia's heart skipped a beat. She drew a long breath and stepped aside to make a pot of tea. Then she said softly, "Mom, Dad, have some tea."

asked Mrs. Mitchell, frowning.

Tongues started to wag outside, and Mrs. Mitchell didn't understand why Lucia could speak in such a leisurely manner.

Lucia took a sip of tea and whispered, "It's useless to worry. Even if I explain that we're just friends, I'm afraid no one will believe me."

Mrs. Mitchell frowned and asked, "Then tell us, what's going on between you and that man?".

Lucia took a deep breath and said seriously, "His name is Damell. He's a friend of mine. He helped me when I was looking for Garnett, so I owe him a favor. He wanted to buy a present for his sister but did not know how to choose one, so he asked me to help him. I was just helping him to pick up a gift and have a meal. Nothing else."

Hearing that, Mrs. Mitchell and Professor Mitchell looked at each other and said nothing.

"Really?"

Lucia took a deep breath and said word by word, "Mom, Dad, I don't need to lie to you."

Mrs. Mitchell exchanged a look and
