Chapter 782 Sophisticated calculation

August’s tall figure slowly reached her widened eyes. She was dazed at first, then quickly regained her senses. She spread a smile on her face and walked over to August.

For an unknown reason, Lucia felt as if she was caught by August when she was committing a big fault.

August's action was smooth and natural when he took Lucia into his arms. His deep eyes slowly cast on Edmund's smiling face, "Thank you, Mr. Shea, for taking care of my wife during your busy schedule."

"You're welcome, Mr. Adams. Lucia and I are just friends. I hope that you don't sweat it and don't get Lucia wronged." Edmund's voice was consistently gentle.

Lucia's eyebrows were slightly locked when she heard this. She secretly thought to herself that Edmund's remarks sounded strange, with sophisticated calculation.

There was nothing wrong between them. However, what Edmund said made them shady. It was like the more one explained, the more one wanted to hide it.

August’s detached voice slowly sounded, "Mr. Shea could rest assured. We don't need extra explanations. I believe in her."

The light in Edmund's eyes solidified, but they recovered soon before others could see it clearly.

He looked obviously relaxed when August said this, and the smile on his face didn't look like a fake smile, "I was relieved to hear Mr. Adams say this, and I was worried that it would bring Lucia unnecessary trouble."

As he spoke, his eyes turned to Lucia, and his voice was apologetic, "Lucia, since Mr. Adams also attended the party, you should have told me in advance. You didn't have to do it for my sake."

These words hinted that Lucia deliberately lied to August for him.

The next moment, Lucia felt August’s sharply strengthened grip on her waist. She cleared her throat, held August's fingertips tightly with that of hers, and pulled out an apologetic smile at August.
