Chapter 786 Husband and Friend

"Sorry to bother you, Lucia, I've told Phillip Shea not to disturb you, but he just..." Edmund Shea's voice sounded apologetic on the phone.

"Well, never mind, he is just a kid, I can understand it." A smile stretched Lucia's lips at her thought of Phillip Shea.

"Lucia, I have to say sorry for the thing that happened at the political reception. I didn't know that Mr. Admas would attend it as well. I didn't mean you to be in a catch-22 situation."

"It's no big deal, I know that it was just a coincidence. Just forget it." Said Lucia hastily.

Before the conversation was about to go on, Phillip, half crying, suddenly said, "Mom, I want to dine with mom..."

"Good boy, daddy will eat with you, ok?" Edmund Shea coaxed him patiently but his words didn't work out. Phillip Shea began to cry for

mom.

Lucia then came to know what Phillip Shea wanted was to have lunch with her. "Does Phillip want to dine with me?" She asked softly.

"Yeah, he has it in his brain all the time after you left last time. I hate to trouble you with a such thing so I just have to bribe him into not calling you. But my trick doesn't work at all today, sorry."

Lucia's ears caught Phillip's cry from time to time as Edmund said awkwardly and her heart twitched at the cry. "What about we dine together outside today for the sake of Phillip?" Lucia offered after careful thought.

"Thank you, Lucia, but he will be ok, I'm good at handling him." Against all expectations, Edmund gave a deliberate refusal, but his tone was tinged with obvious helplessness.

Lucia dropped her eyes at his words, looking as though she was making up her mind. "Don't say that, that's a deal. You just send me the address of the restaurant. I'll be there soon to meet you."

Edmund Shea stole a breath of relief when he heard a positive answer. "Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, you really do me a great favor, Lucia." His voice shook with rapture.
