Chapter 788 Candlelight Dinner

The living room was brightly lit as usual but was unusually quiet. Janet and Timothy were nowhere to be seen. Only the well-cooked food on the table was enveloped by the candlelight, seeming

extremely romantic.

"Could it be that someone has burst into our home?" Lucia was frightened by the scene downstairs.

Mark and Ethan really gave Lucia a quite scare last time and she was still frightened of their break-in.

August understood her scare. "Do you think intruders will prepare dinner for us thoughtfully?" Wrapping her hand with his warm hand, August said calmly.

His words, maybe his firm voice, eased Lucia's mind greatly and offered her a sense of security. Lucia's body was no longer taut, then she stepped to the table.

There was a pink sticky note on the table, which read "Dear mommy and daddy, we have gone to our bed. Enjoy your delicious dinner. Your dear Janet and Timothy"

The cute scribble on the note was a dead giveaway to who wrote this note.

The note and words on it were so funny that Lucia cracked up.

Slipping the note into August's hand, she looked at the food on the table and found surprisingly her favorite dishes were all laying out on it.

And the flowers in the vase were also her favorite sunflower.
