Chapter 002

Lucia told her mother that August was coming for dinner. As for the marriage certificate, she would not mention it until Bill came back. Only in such a way, could she have someone to back her up.

"He?" Elisa did not understand at first. But when she saw her daughter's blushing face, she instantly understood who he was referred to. "Okay!" Elisa glanced at the vegetables in the basket, and immediately walked to the door, changing her shoes and saying, "I'll go buy some fish and meat."

Before Lucia could reply, Elisa had already left, and that was when Lucia could breathe a sigh of relief. She went back to her room, closed the door and carefully took out the marriage certificate in her pocket.

"Am I really not dreaming?" Lucia lay on the bed, holding the certificate above her head, muttering to herself. At this point, her mind was in chaos, and then she suddenly thought of the last words August had said to her in the car.

August had said that he could give her everything except love.

In fact, so did she. Since she had been betrayed two years ago, she had lost hope in relationships. Lucia even thought she would never fall in love with anyone in her life again. Otherwise, she would not go on a blind date.

The both of them went for the blind date with their cards on the desk, making it clear that there were no feelings involved. Their both believed that marriage was just a tool to prove that they were also living a ‘normal' life.

Thinking of this, Lucia relaxed a little. Although their marriage was an accident, its essence went as she had planned before. So what did she have to worry about?

After Lucia convinced herself for a while, she fell asleep. It was past five o'clock in the afternoon when she woke up. She rubbed her eyes as if she had not woken up yet.

"August, right? Drink water and eat an apple. I bought these at the market this morning. They are very fresh."

Just when Lucia was still thinking about whether to go back to sleep again, the enthusiastic voice of her mother outside made Lucia shudder.

‘August? Water and apple?' Is there any guest at home?' Lucia scratched her head for a while before she suddenly remembered that August had said he would come. Lucia rushed out like a rocket. As soon as she left the door, she bumped into Elisa, who was about to knock on the door with a fruit bowl.

Elisa rolled her eyes at Lucia who was always in a hurry, then said softly with a motherly smile, "Lucia, you came out just in time. August is here, come and talk to him."

Lucia's heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall, and the hour hand just pointed to six o'clock. ‘He really came! Just on time.'

Lucia grinned awkwardly, having an urge to hide in her room, but the quick-witted Elisa grabbed her arm, and pushed Lucia to August, who was sitting on the sofa.
