It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 152

After Lucia and Lowell returned from Toledo, the originally ambiguous relationship between the two seemed to become clear. Lowell became active and Lucia would occasionally respond to him. This kind of slight advance was Lowell’s greatest joy. In the morning, Lucia sometimes smiled slightly, which made Lowell regain the previous feelings.

“Lucia, can you think of the possibility of us getting married carefully? Lowell suddenly looked at Lucia and said.

Lucia lowered her head to eat the food on her plate. When she heard his question, her hands holding the tableware stopped for a moment. Soon she continued to eat as if nothing had happened. Lucia has always subconsciously chosen to evade the answer to this question. She knew that for Lowell, many seemingly difficult problems were not problems at all, but she herself still could not let go of these problems.

“I’m sorry, Lowell. I have eaten too much. I want to go out for a walk alone,” Lucia said indifferently after eating the last bite of food.

When Lucia passed by Lowell, he grabbed her hand. Lucia stopped abruptly and looked at him in confusion, waiting for he speaks. If it had been in the past, Lowell would choose to end the subject after she had no reaction to such a question. But now, Lucia wasn’t so sure. “Come with me

in South Africa, okay? I’ll worry about you if I leave you alone in Spain.” Lowell was talking about something entirely different.

“All right.” Lucia did not refuse but nodded.

“Kathryn will accompany you, so you won’t get bored alone in South Africa.” Lowell told him his plan.

“Okay,” Lucia replied simply.

After obtaining Lucia’s consent, Lowell let go of Lucia’s hand. Lucia left the room. These days, she seemed to be used to casually strolling outside the castle, letting the sunlight spill over her body. When she was tired, she sat on the lawn. The fatigue she had felt during the previous period gradually disappeared.

Lowell was a man of action. Lucia had such a feeling when she first met him. His idea would be realized as soon as possible. And going to South Africa should be his initial plan. On the afternoon of the day she accepted, the maids began packing her luggage. The next day, she was already on a plane to South Africa. As expected, Catherine was with her.

“Lucia, he’s really nice to you. He takes you with him everywhere he goes. He’s afraid you’ll be left alone. I’ve never seen him so attentive to anyone else,” Kathryn looked at Lucia and said in an envious tone.

Lucie didn’t say anything. She just rubbed Catherine’s hair. How could Catherine’s innocent thoughts escape Lucia’s eyes? No matter how much she hid her loneliness, she couldn’t help but show it sometimes. Sometimes Lucia carefully avoided talking about Lowell with Kathryn. Perhaps it was because of her selfishness, or perhaps out of sympathy for Catherine. After the

landing plane, Lowell took Lucia out of the airport and got into a car that had been waiting for a long time. Kathryn was in the next car. Lucia looked at the serious atmosphere in the car in confusion. The driver and the bodyguards who accompanied in the car seemed particularly nervous and very focused. She looked at Lowell, but he said nothing. He just held Lucia’s hand tightly.

“Commander.”

The car stopped in front of a villa. As soon as Lowell got out of the car, he heard respectful voices. Lowell looked at the people calling him indifferently, then took Lucia’s hand to help her out of the car. Lucia looked around and found that there were soldiers with heavy weapons. These must be the mercenaries Lowell mentioned.

Due to the presence of these mercenaries, the surrounding environment seemed obviously solemn. The maze looked like scattered houses. Lucia felt that this villa was so incompatible with the environment here. But she didn’t know how to describe her strange feeling. The villa was well hidden under the shade of the trees. If no one knew this place off the top of their heads, there was a risk of getting lost in the maze like houses.

“Tandy, long time no see,” Lucia greeted when she saw him.

Since she saw him the first day she was in Spain, he seemed to have disappeared. Lucia never saw him again. She was happy to meet him in South Africa unexpectedly. At least among the completely unfamiliar crowd, she could see a familiar face, which more or less reduced the feeling of distance.

Tandy nodded slightly at Lucia, but there was a strange, jealous look in her eyes. Soon he turned around, ignored Lucia, and looked at Lowell. After greeting him respectfully, Tandy handed the box in her hands to Lowell. With Lowell’s suspicion, he quickly disappeared from their sight.

Lowell took the box and led Lucia into the villa. The housekeepers quickly took the driver’s luggage and went to the master bedroom on the second floor. They directly sorted the clothes of the two people in the same room. Lucia wanted to stop them, but was interrupted by Lowell.

“Lucia, this is your phone. There you are.” Lowell took a phone from someone else and handed it to Lucia.

Lucia took the phone in confusion and looked at Lowell. She didn’t understand what he meant. Why did he give her another phone? Soon, what Lowell said next resolved Lucia’s confusion.

“The maze-like houses below are the most mixed place in South Africa. There are gangsters, poor people and people who only care about money. Any type of people that you can imagine would appear in the houses below. And the villa here is my stronghold in South Africa. With the coverage of these houses, this villa is absolutely safe. The villa is also a signal blocking zone. If you would like to get in touch with the outside world, you need a specific cell phone. Ordinary phones are unable to connect with the outside world. Any mobile signal source from the outside world will be automatically blocked here. That’s why I give you this phone,” Lowell explained carefully.

Since Lucia knew his whole past, Lowell had never wanted to hide anything from Lucia. As long as she was confused about anything, Lowell would tell her without waiting for her to ask. After listening to his explanation, Lucia nodded knowingly. She didn’t ask any more questions. For her, she didn’t need to know too much.

Sometimes it wasn’t a happy thing to know too much. Lucia suddenly laughed at herself. If she didn’t know about these storylines, things could have gone in another direction.

Looking at Lucia who had self-deprecation on her face, Lowell was silent for a while. Then he handed the box in his hand, which came from Tandy earlier, to Lucia. Lucia took the box in confusion and opened it with Lowell’s suspicion. She couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw what was in the box.

“Good…” Lucia pointed at the box and didn’t know what to say.

“The Mermaid’s Tear” was in the box. It was a twelve-carat blue diamond. It was precious and rare, and there was also a beautiful legend that made people hustle for it even more eagerly. A mermaid wouldn’t cry easily. Only when he gave his true feelings did he shed his most precious tears, which were as precious as gold. And the “mermaid’s tear” would have been formed by the tears of mermaids. It was only after thousands of years of evolution that this precious blue diamond took shape.

Of course, it was just a legend. They were the most beautiful legend which resulted in the high price of this diamond. But in history, the “Mermaid’s Tear” had been transferred among the royal families of many European countries. It was always the first choice for the king to give the queen as a gift. During World War II, the diamond’s location became unknown. It was said to be in the hands of a declining aristocrat, but no one had the chance to see this diamond. People only had a few memories when seeing his photos.

When the legendary “Mermaid’s Tear” appeared before Lucia’s eyes, she was completely shocked. If it was an ordinary person who took out this diamond, maybe Lucia would think it was a toy or an ornament. But now that it was from Lowell, Lucia didn’t think it was just a joke. Unconsciously, she handed the box back to Lowell.

Lucia didn’t think she deserved such a precious gift. Lowell’s meaning behind the gift was obvious. But he didn’t take it back. He put it back in Lucia’s hand.

“Lucie, this is for you. I can’t replace anyone more suitable for this than you,” Lowell said softly, with incomparable seriousness and firmness in his eyes. “Don’t think too much. is just a gift. I won’t use it to make you promise me more,” Lowell said casually, which showed his consideration. He always knew how to lighten the heavy burden in Lucia’s heart.

Lucia held the box in her hand. She couldn’t take it back or return it. She stood awkwardly in the middle of the living room. Lowell walked forward and stood in front of Lucia. He held Lucia in his arms, giving her no room to retreat.

“Mermaid tears are very precious. Your tears are also very precious. I just want you to shed tears of joy instead of sadness from now on. Just think that all your sadness is gone. Use this ‘mermaid tear ‘to bear all your happiness,” Lowell told Lucia seriously.

“Emm.” After a long time, Lucia nodded slightly.

“Go and rest. If I don’t have time when you want to go out, you have to ask someone to accompany you. South Africa is not the same as Strinas or Madrid. The situation here is complicated. Reactionaries, terrorists… All kinds of destabilizing factors exist here. I won’t worry about you if the bodyguards go out with you,” Lowell said.

Lucy nodded. Then she went upstairs with Catherine. When they got to the master bedroom, Lucia said to Kathryn, opened the door and walked into the master bedroom. Kathryn continued walking towards her room. When she heard the sound of the door closing, Catherine stopped walking and looked at the closed door for a long time.

“Mermaid’s Tear…” Kathryn knew the diamond was far more precious and meaningful than Lowell had described it. In order not to increase the burden on Lucia’s mind, Lowell hid the true meaning of the “Mermaid’s Tear” from her. During World War II, the blue diamond did not disappear at all, nor was it in the hands of a declining aristocrat. Since the time when Spain became the lord of the sea, this blue diamond has been in the hands of the Fredrickson family. Despite the legend, this blue diamond was the symbol of the Countess of the Fredrickson family, and was only passed down from one Countess to the next generation of Countess Everyone

in the villa should know the meaning of this diamond, as well than the mercenary system and the dark forces of Lowell. This blue diamond had far-reaching significance. By giving Lucia this blue diamond, Lowell had made a declaration of Lucia’s absolute supreme status to everyone. Everyone must be loyal to Lucia, as they were loyal to Lowell.

Sometimes the most solemn promise may not come into effect in one’s testimony. A promise in the most implicit but sure way could make everyone feel deeply the determination of the person who promised.
