Chapter303 She was only a Substitute? 

 

Standing beside the flower beds in the nigh breeze, August was in front of his car. Bein, a bit tipsy, he tried to 

steady himself by leaning against the car languorously while squinting at the direction of the stairs. He 

actually couldn't account for his behavior now.

address of Lucia without much thinking, probably because he was already unable to think.

he wasn't the one who managed to help her out. Lucia paused for some seconds before she finally grasped what he meant. "It's OK. It's gone now." said she
