Chapter 188
In Arthur's room.
The sound of running water could be vaguely heard in the bathroom. After a while, the sound of running water stopped and Arthur came out with a bath towel.
He didn't know if it was because of the hot water or other reasons, but his handsome face was flushed, and there was a little sexiness in his forbidden breath.
He took a towel and wiped his hair a few times. The water droplets flowed along his chest muscles, over the sexy mermaid line, and finally slipped into the bath towel.
Arthur lowered his head and looked at his body. His long, thick eyebrows furrowed, and the evil fire that he had just suppressed came out again, which made him very annoyed.
He stood up and walked around a few times. His heart became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but think of Lucy's figure. In the end, he couldn't help but walk out of the door and involuntarily walked to the door of Lucy's room.
This was obviously his villa, but he subconsciously looked around. After making sure that there was no one around, he gently opened the door.
"Sir, you..."
Arthur had not yet walked in when he was suddenly shouted by Aunty Julianne. The muscles all over his body tightened, and he immediately motioned for her to shut up.
Aunty Julianne walked up to her and whispered, "Sir, Mrs. Johnson is ready to sleep."
In the middle of the night, what did the master run around with a bath towel? If she didn't know the master, she would have regarded the master as a pervert!
"I got it," Arthur replied coldly.
"You got it?" Aunty Julianne looked at him with a puzzled look. "Why is Mr. Johnson so strange tonight?"
Standing in front of Lucy's door, Arthur's burning fire became more and more intense, but his face was cold. "Is there anything else?"
"I'm... I'm fine." Aunty Julianne didn't dare to ask any more questions and left with questions.
After making sure that she had left again and again, Arthur entered the room quietly and locked the door. His burning eyes fell on the bed, and his breathing became heavier.
Lucy had just finished her shower and her hair wasn't completely dry yet. She lay flat on the bed with her eyes closed. Her oval curly hair made her palm-sized little face look even more delicate and delicate.
Her quilt just covered her chest. Her slender swan neck was exposed, and the gully in front of her was partly visible.
Arthur couldn't help but walk to her side. His hand landed on top of her face, painting her facial features
in the air.
As long as he waved his hand, a woman who was more beautiful than him would pounce on him. However, such a woman with thorns had entered his heart...
His gaze slowly fell on the gully in front of her. Instantly, his mouth and tongue went dry, and his hand couldn't help falling in front of her.

"What's the matter?" Lucy suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes landing on his hands.
Arthur's handsome face was a little hot, but he still remained calm. "Grandpa has discussed with the Byrd family that Lizbeth will be locked up in the Byrd family."
Lucy didn't say anything, only the corners of his lips curled into a mocking smile.
Lizbeth framed her in all kinds of ways, kidnapped someone and tried to rape her. Then she wanted to strangle her in public, but she was locked up in the Byrd family in the end.
If it were her, she would have been killed by Arthur as early as when she framed Lizbeth.
"This is just the result of the current discussion." Arthur did not want to let Lizbeth go like this, but his grandfather valued the friendship between the two families very much. If he insisted on attacking her because of Lucy, his grandfather would make things difficult for Lucy.
Lucy laughed coldly. "Are you done?"
"Even if it's for the sake of the child, I won't let anything happen to you." Her sneer made the heat in his body stop in an instant, followed by anger.
How could she have the confidence to put on a straight face when she and Maddox had done such a thing?
He glanced at her coldly, then slammed the door and went out. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucy looked at the tightly shut door and his heart sank little by little. If she was not pregnant, would Lizbeth strangle her to death? Would he not even look at her again?
She struggled to sit up with the help of the bed and gently caressed her belly. Her voice was bitter as she said, "Baby, what do you think Mommy should do? If Mommy were to be driven away, would you really treat Elyse like Mommy?"
She also wanted to take the child away from here, but she couldn't leave the Johnson family on her own.
Moreover, Arthur had warned her that whoever she asked for help with would be destroyed... What else could she do other than staying in the Johnson family?
...
Arthur leaned against the door with bloodshot eyes. His anger was about to burst out of his body.
He tried his best to be nice to her and make up for the harm he had done to her five years ago. What else could she be satisfied with?
Or was it because someone else had taken her heart for a long time, and she had long lost his place in her heart?
Peng!
Arthur panted heavily as he slammed his fist against the wall. A layer of skin appeared on his hand, and a layer of blood seeped out. However, this little bit of pain in his body could not be compared to the pain in his heart.
"Mr. Johnson, you're injured. I'll bandage your wound!" Ruby ran over with a worried look on her face. She was afraid that the people inside could not hear her, so she deliberately raised her voice.
Arthur raised his eyes and stared at her with bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast in a violent rage.
Ruby's hair stood on end. She could not help stepping back and her eyelashes kept trembling. "Mr. Johnson looks really scary. What is he going to do?"
"Young... Mr. Johnson, your hand is injured. It's... very painful, isn't it? I'll take you to bandage it." She was so nervous that her tongue began to knot.
Arthur's eagle-like eyes were fixed on her. He approached her step by step, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in his black eyes.
Ruby retreated step by step until her back was against the wall and she had nowhere to retreat to. Her
forehead was already covered with a layer of cold sweat.
He supported himself against the wall with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. He lowered his head bit by bit. For the past five years, Lucy had been living a wonderful life. How could he be worse than her?
It was so sudden that Ruby was completely dumbfounded. She did not even have time to react.
But when Arthur was about to kiss her, he suddenly pushed her away with a pale face. They looked exactly the same, but he didn't feel anything about Elyse at all. He even felt sick and wanted to throw up.
Seeing this, Ruby quickly retreated to the side, with a layer of cold sweat on her back.
Mr. Johnson actually wanted to kiss her!!!
"Do you want to be Mrs. Johnson?" Arthur's cold voice was higher than usual, as if he wanted someone to hear him.
The cold sweat that had just fallen from Ruby's back started to form again. "Wh-what?"
She had known Mr. Johnson for a period of time, and she had specifically read and studied his information. She had also discussed him with Mr. Wallace many times.
But until now, she still couldn't figure out Mr. Johnson's thoughts at all.
What did he mean by that? He wanted to marry her?
"Good girl, hold on for a while longer. Only you are qualified to be my wife." Arthur's voice was deliberately gentle, but his sharp and handsome face was cold.
Ruby did not see his expression and her mind went blank after hearing his words.
