It's Love That Blinds Him
It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 30

When Lucia turned around, she reached out her hand, but couldn’t touch anything. She looked at the time and realized that it was already eight in the morning. Was she really that exhausted? Even her biological clock couldn’t wake her up. The intimate moments of last night came back to him. Lucia couldn’t help but blush as she remembered what she and Malcolm did the night before.

She stroked her face as she glanced at the space next to her, only to realize that it was empty. When she touched it, she no longer felt warmth in that area of ​​the bed. Looks like Malcolm had been gone for a while. She slowly got up from the bed. She had been lying in bed for a few days now, and Malcolm had carried her home yesterday in his arms. She thought she would have trouble walking on her own, but she realized that wasn’t the case. Very quickly, she was out of the room.

“Hello, Miss Lucia. My name is Gina. Mr. Evans has asked me to care for you and your daily needs during your recovery. » A middle-aged woman suddenly appeared in front of Lucia and introduced herself.

Lucia was surprised. Then she focused her gaze on Gina. Gina was plump. But she spoke confidently, so Lucia believed she could be efficient at work and would do things in an orderly manner. However, Lucia was not an invalid person. She didn’t want anyone watching her at home every day.

” Breakfast is ready. You can come to the table after having refreshed yourself. If you need anything, let me know. » Gina had noticed Lucia’s embarrassment. So, after saying these words, she immediately returned to the kitchen.

When Gina was gone, Lucia looked at herself. She was still wearing the large T-shirt with no bra underneath, and both tips of her breasts were noticeable. She also wore only lace panties, no shorts or pants. When she walked, her panties were visible. Realizing these details, she screamed and rushed into the room. She wished she could go faster. Who could imagine that Malcolm would hire a servant? If she had known better, she would not have left the room in such clothes.

As soon as she entered the room, she closed the door and headed to the bathroom to freshen up. She saw something shining on her neck in the mirror, and Lucia was stunned for a while. When she came to her senses,

There was a necklace around his neck. When she checked it, there was a simple patterned ring attached rather than a pendant. The ring was adorned with a pink diamond. Lucia blinked and looked closely at the diamond again. By his estimation, it had at least two carats. She resolved never to carry such a treasure when she wanted to go out. What would happen if a bad guy got ahold of it?

But when had she had it on her neck? Lucia tried to remember everything that had happened the night before. Malcolm was drying her hair when she fell asleep. When the hairdryer stopped, she felt something cold on her neck, but she was too sleepy to pay attention. Now that she thought about it, she realized that the cold feeling was caused by the necklace.

Still wearing the ring hanging around her neck, she looked in the mirror again. What did Malcolm mean by giving him this? Lucia closed her eyes, a look of confusion appeared on her face.

After washing, Lucia wore clean pajamas and walked out of the bedroom. Gina has already set the table, and there were different delicious foods for breakfast. Porridge, fried dough sticks and pickles, to name a few. Lucia pulled up a chair, sat down and began to eat calmly. However, his eyes were glued to his cell phone. Holding the spoon in one hand, she used the other hand to pick up her phone.

After thinking for a while, she finally unlocked it and sent a message saying, “What are you means? »

Once the message was sent, she put down her phone, tapping the table with her fingers from time to time. While eating, she occasionally glanced at her phone. But she received no response. Feeling a little disturbed, she finished breakfast and got up. Seeing Lucia coming out of the dining room, Gina entered and quickly cleared the table. She tried to be discreet as much as possible, so that Lucia wouldn’t feel her presence.

When Lucia returned to her room, she grabbed her laptop and turned it on. Nowadays, due to the evolution of technology, people can work remotely without visiting the company. But for Lucia, she would get bored sooner or later if it was like this every day. She couldn’t live a life staying at home all day. She placed her injured leg on the coffee table, crossed her second leg, and placed the laptop on it. Then she adjusted her posture and started working.

She sent emails to her colleagues, asking them about the progress of their work. When she received the latest files, she was about to chat with Hayes and the others, but was distracted by her phone ringing. Lucia picked up her phone and was checking it excitedly.

” Yes? »

She was angry to see this one word as a message. She looked up Malcolm’s phone number and was about to call him. But she resisted, and finally, she calmly put down her phone.

What could she ask him? Should she ask him what he wanted to express by giving her a ring? Or should she ask him what he wanted to do with it? And if Malcolm responded by saying “Women like diamonds,” Lucia would be very embarrassed. Of course, she was proud and had high self-esteem. She glanced at the phone beside her, then ignored it.

She quickly tapped away on her laptop, chatting with her colleagues while minding her own business. During this time, Gina came to Lucia’s room twice. She brought first a glass of fruit juice and then Lucia’s medicine.

Lucia was watching the progress of the work on the screen of her laptop, at the same time she was thinking about a solution for the current situation. She felt like it was so hard to choose a new model now. Each model seemed to lack something and failed to show the charm of the “Lure” perfume. The frown on Lucia’s face deepened, and she let out a long sigh. His thumb and index finger continued to pinch his aching head. She felt it was really painful.

Suddenly her phone rang and she answered without even trying to replace out who was calling. Subconsciously, she thought it was Hayes or someone from his team, since she hasn’t responded to their messages in a while. Hayes was short-tempered and called him when he was impatient.

” Do not rush. I’m still thinking about it,” Lucia said.

“Wildcat, are you still working?” » To her surprise, it wasn’t Hayes she heard on the other end of the line. But it was Malcolm, who seemed a little angry.

“You…” Lucia didn’t know what to say all of a sudden, so she shut up.

” What me? Has your tongue been bitten by a cat? “, Malcolm chuckled lightly.

Lucia was so upset that she was unable to say a word. She just held her phone tightly. Completely ignoring Malcolm on the other end of the line, she continued to communicate with Hayes and others on her laptop. Both of them looked furious, and neither of them took the initiative to speak.

” Are you angry? You are an intelligent woman. Why can’t you understand what I mean? », Malcolm finally said with a slight sigh. He thought Lucia was really stubborn.

He wondered what would happen to her if she ran into real trouble.

“I don’t understand,” Lucia quickly replied without thinking.

She hated men like him. She hated him for being so boring. It was so hard for her to know what was on his mind. After all, she couldn’t read minds. Lucia continued to curse in her head, but she remained silent. And it made him look calm.

“Forget it if you don’t understand.” Let’s talk about it once you finally understand. » Malcolm’s voice sounded as indifferent as ever. It’s like he’s not affected by Lucia at all.

“I will never understand!” » Lucia was so angry that she screamed.

“Sometimes I’d like to see what it’s like when you’re nicer.” I’ll be home for you to join me for dinner tonight. Don’t work all day. Take some rest, okay? » Malcolm rarely spoke so much.

” I’m doing well. I’m hanging up. » After saying that, Lucia hung up the phone.

She then put her phone aside, no longer interested in the discussion on her laptop screen. She stared at the dazzling diamond ring hanging around her neck. It was obvious that diamonds satisfied women’s vanity. In fact, when she saw it, she felt some excitement and pleasure. She even felt a little greedy.

But his heart sank after that conversation with Malcolm on the phone. It was true that she didn’t understand at all what he meant. And she couldn’t tell if he was telling her the truth or not. He seemed to have a multitude of masks. No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn’t read his real thoughts.

Lucie felt so bored.

She was holding the necklace and wanted to take it off. But the diamond really fascinated her. She was just an ordinary woman, not a fairy who didn’t care about anything in the world. Little by little, Lucia felt that her heart was leaving the castle and going further and further away. Maybe one day his heart will be lost.

“Malcolm, will you be the person to win my heart? ”, she thought.

With a long face, she returned her attention to the laptop screen. Then she began discussing her ideas with her colleagues. She also told them when she would return to the company. It would take ten days at most for him to fully recover.

When Lucia’s phone rang again, she looked at it seriously. Then she smiled and answered without delay. It was Sofia.

” Where are you now? Why are you calling me? Didn’t you go abroad? How come you always use the same phone number? » Lucia asked this series of questions with excitement in her voice.

“Lucia, you’re really popular lately. You’ve been on the front page of all the major newspapers and magazines. You even appear on the television news. How could I not want to call you? “, Sophia teased.

” Eh? » Lucia was speechless. She had really underestimated how quickly gossip spread. Sophia heard about it, even though she was so far away.

“Let’s see, don’t be embarrassed. But seriously, didn’t your mother leave you a bracelet? Can you describe it to me? » After making fun of Lucia, Sophia became serious. Actually, she was currently at work.

“You mean this jade bracelet? Are you interested in him? It’s just a perfectly ordinary jade bracelet,” Lucia said with a frown. She didn’t understand why Sophia suddenly asked.

“I mean, is there a distinctive pattern or design in this bracelet? » Sophia explained clearly what she meant.

” A pattern? I do not think so. I do not think so. This is just an ordinary jade bracelet. I’ll show it to you when you get back, so you can check it. » As she spoke, Lucia raised her eyebrows. She wondered why there would be a pattern in a bracelet.

“Well, I guess I think too much. I’ve been a little crazy lately,” Sophia said tiredly.

“Sophia, you should take a break. Don’t be so stubborn, okay? You can never accomplish so much,” Lucia said helplessly.

” OK, I understand. By the way, watch the news if you have time. Malcolm is really very authoritarian when he speaks. I have to hang up now. » With these words, Sophia hung up the phone without giving Lucia time to say anything.

When she heard the busy tone, Lucia looked at her phone and chuckled lightly. Sophia was truly like the wind that appears and disappears quickly each time. Lucia didn’t know what kind of man could make her quit and become a housewife.

But after what Sophia said, Lucia turned on the TV. Of course, all the TV channels were showing Malcolm’s interview yesterday.

” It’s my wife. »

These words kept coming back over and over in Lucia’s mind. She felt like it was some sort of oath. A kind of dominating possession and invisible constraint.

“Do you love me, Malcolm?” »

Lucia was lost in thought.
