It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 118

The weather was unusually cold, as if the end of winter had come early. The cold wind blew on Lucia’s thin body. She shivered just a little and moved numbly forward. There was no destination for her. The street in the early morning was crowded with people. Everyone couldn’t help but look at the numb Lucia a few more times, but soon, they hurried past.

After all, they had nothing to do with her and they were just passers-by in her life. They had stopped their steps, but soon they passed in haste. All he had left were his failing backs, which were gradually becoming blurred over time.

Lucia smiled self-deprecatingly as she looked at the fork in the road ahead of her. Why did she come back here? As long as she turned a corner, she would reach the apartment where she and Malcolm had lived together. She turned her head numbly and continued walking down the path. From time to time, a leaf fell on Lucia’s hair. She raised her head and looked numbly at the leaves.

“Lucie…”

Hearing the familiar voice, Lucia still numbly looked at the yellow leaves falling from the tree, as if she hadn’t heard. The person who called his name seemed a little helpless. He got out of the car, closed the door and pulled Lucia who was dazed. Lucia turned to look at the man and resumed her previous action.

“Lucia, don’t be like that…” There was a trace of helplessness and worry in Lowell’s tone.

Lucia shook off Lowell’s hand and walked forward numbly. Seeing him again, Lucia didn’t know how to face him. Since she didn’t know, she chose not to see him. Lowell didn’t seem to give up but caught up with her. The car was stopped at the side of the road. Lowell just followed Lucia.

She didn’t know how long he had followed her. None of them spoke. Finally, Lucia stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked Lowell straight in the eyes. Lowell also looked at Lucia silently. There was no trace of impurities in his eyes, only obvious tenderness and pity.

“Why did you follow me?” Wasn’t it good? It’s over, isn’t it? Lowell…” Lucia sighed and said slowly.

“Lucie, listen to me…” Lowell was in a rare panic.

“Is it important what you say now?” Lucia said calmly.

Lowell grabbed Lucia’s hand .Lucia glanced at Lowell who was holding her hand, but in the end she didn’t struggle but just let him hold her hand. Seeing that Lucia didn’t get rid of her hand, Lowell gradually calmed down . However,

“Lucie, come with me. Let me take care of you for the rest of your life,” Lowell promised.

“How long is a life? No one knows what would happen in the next moment. Maybe in the next second we won’t be in this world anymore.” Lucia didn’t answer Lowell’s question but said something irrelevant. “Until the end of

your life,” Lowell said firmly.

“Hehe… Lowell, you’ve already used me. You don’t have to be like that anymore. Do as before. I could feel your sincerity and tenderness. That was enough,” Lucia smiled and said without fear.

“Lucia, maybe I had a purpose for getting closer to you at the beginning. However, little by little, I discovered that your smile, your perseverance, your character and everything about you were deeply attracted to me. My heart unconsciously went with you,” Lowell said seriously.

Lucia looked at Lowell seriously. There was no trace of falsehood in his eyes. She stretched out her hands mechanically and numbly to touch his face. The touch Cold fell on his face along his fingers. Lowell frowned and quickly looked at Lucia, who was wearing thin clothes. He grabbed her hand and walked towards the place where he had stopped his car just now.

Lucia frowned and tried to get rid of him, but she failed. There was a rare domineering and harsh look in Lowell’s eyes towards Lucia. Once Lucia tried to get rid of his hold, he grabbed her hand more firmly. He returned to the car, opened the door, put Lucia in the car, and casually pressed the central lock button to prevent Lucia from opening the door and getting out. Then he returned to the driver’s seat, started the engine and left.

Lucia glanced at Lowell, who rarely acted overbearing towards her. She didn’t want to waste her strength struggling, so she leaned against the back of the seat to take a nap. After a night of revelry, Malcolm’s crude demand for s*x and the fear between life and death later, Lucia was so tired that she closed her eyes and didn’t want to open them again. Maybe if she could choose, she really hoped she would close them forever.

Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, Lowell felt sorry for her. He reached out to touch her, but pulled it away halfway. He didn’t want to disturb Lucia’s temporary rest, and he was more afraid that after Lucia woke up, she would refuse him again. He looked at her quietly for a long moment. Lucia’s frown made him let out a long sigh. When could she still laugh and work hard like before?

He started the engine and drove steadily down the road in the early morning hours. A short time later, the car was stopped on another road. Glancing at Lucia, who was still sleeping, Lowell shook his head and intended to get out of the car to buy breakfast. At this moment, Lucia slowly woke up.

“Get out of the car and have breakfast.” You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday, have you? What if I bought some and we took them back?” Lowell looked at Lucia and asked her opinion.

“Get out of the car,” Lucia said lightly.

Hearing this, Lowell unlocked the central lock. Lucia opened the door and got out of the car. Lowell followed her and took Lucia to a small, dingy snack bar. Lucia didn’t resist but found a table and sat down.

Lucia’s clothes were taken from the wardrobe in Malcolm’s apartment, where they were all luxury brands. Lowell’s clothes were not ordinary either. Sitting in the most ordinary snack bar on the street, these two people inevitably attracted the attention of many people. Under the gaze Lowell’s cold, everyone quickly looked away and lowered their heads to tend to their food.

Glancing at Lucia, Lowell quickly ordered some delicious side dishes and porridge. After a At that moment, all the food ordered by him was served. Lucia took the chopsticks and spoon handed over by Lowell and began to eat mechanically. When the delicious hot porridge entered Lucia’s stomach, the cold was immediately dissipated. The side dishes on the table were not packaged like finished products in the snack bar, but obviously freshly prepared on the same day.

Unconsciously, Lucia looked at the door of the snack bar. There was already a long queue there and there was no empty table in the snack bar now. She glanced at the street outside. It wasn’t a strange street. When did such a store appear? She had been too busy to carefully enjoy the pleasures of life. Most of his breakfast was purchased from a dining car.

Still in silence, Lucia continued to eat the food in her bowl, until all the food was finished. She wanted to get up, but her arm was grabbed by Lowell. She looked at him in confusion. He took out a piece of cloth from the table and gently wiped the rice that Lucia hadn’t wiped from the corner of her mouth. Then he let go of Lucia’s hand.

Suddenly, Lucia touched the corner of her mouth unconsciously, looking a little embarrassed. After paying the bill, Lowell took Lucia out of the snack bar. Like before, he peremptorily let Lucia into the car, pressed the central locking button, then returned to the driver’s seat.

After breakfast, Lucia finally looked less pale. Despite the obvious dark circles under her eyes, she looked much more sober. She still hasn’t said anything. His eyes were blurry. The car was traveling at a constant speed. Lucia just looked at the road and didn’t ask Lowell where to go.

The car stopped on the busiest street in S City. At eight o’clock in the morning, all the fashion stores were closed. Lucia finally looked at Lowell confusedly, but soon she looked down and remained silent. Lowell shook his head and parked the car in the parking lot. Then he got out of the car and opened the door for Lucia, prompting Lucia to get out.

Lucia obediently got out of the car, like a lifeless and thoughtless doll. Lowell took Lucia’s hand. Lucia’s hand shrank a little unconsciously, but soon it was held tightly by Lowell.

“What are you doing?” Lucia asked indifferently.

Glancing at Lucia, Lowell didn’t answer but took her directly to one of the stores. Lucia looked at the large sign in her view then looked at the time. She narrowed her eyes to confirm it. Was the store open at eight in the morning? She was confused. But Lowell held his hand and went inside.

“Welcome, Mr. Forrees,” the saleswomen said respectfully.

Early in the morning, the store manager received a call from the headquarters in France. They had to be ready for opening by eight o’clock to receive Mr. Forrees, and they had to close their shop for other customers. Everyone who received the news had a strange look on their faces, as they had never opened the shop so early. The world of the rich would always start to be active from noon.

” Find him some new winter clothes. She doesn’t need to try them. Just pack them up,” Lowell said simply.

The saleswomen glanced at Lucia, who was silent aside, curiosity in her eyes. Wasn’t she the wife of the CEO of the Evans Group, whose affair had been a hot topic lately? But soon, under the angry gaze of the store manager, they left quickly and searched for the clothes according to the customer’s requirements.

Lucia frowned and subconsciously refused. The inquisitive eyes of the saleswomen made her uncomfortable. Even a fool could see the implication in their eyes. It seemed that Lowell had noticed Lucia’s discomfort. He gently held Lucia’s hand to prevent Lucia from breaking away easily. Then he stood up with Lucia in his arms.

“She’s going to put on this sweater and coat right away. Send the rest to this address,” Lowell pointed to the two items of clothing and ordered.

According to Lucia’s figure, a saleswoman quickly took the size that fit her and handed the clothes to Lowell. Lowell took the clothes, held Lucia’s hand and walked to the dressing room door, suggesting she come inside. Lucia stood still and looked at him coldly.

“What are you doing?” Lucia asked indifferently.

“You are wearing too little. Let’s talk about something else later. Put on the clothes first.” Lowell frowned and looked at Lucia’s thin clothes, with dissatisfaction and pity in his eyes. “

No need,” Lucia refused.

“Lucie…” There was a hint of helplessness in Lowell’s tone.

Lucia looked at him and hesitated. She took the clothes from him and entered the dressing room. Soon she changed her clothes. Then he took her away. The saleswomen greet them respectfully before returning to their posts.

” She’s really lucky… They’re both excellent men. As long as I have one, I will have no regrets,” said a saleswoman enviously.

“If you have one, you don’t have to serve these rich people here. So, wake up and work quickly,” the manager said sarcastically.

“Yes…” the saleswoman said slowly.

The busy day continued, but the person who had hidden his thoughts was unusually quiet.
