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

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."

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