Lucy was stunned. She wasn't expecting him to pull this card on her. He kept blinking his tiny eyes, but instead of it making him look charming, it made him look nasty.

What a turn-off.

"Mr. Adkins, I don't think we know each other that well yet." Lucy frowned.

"It doesn't matter, we can slowly grow feelings. Think about it, you're almost thirty and I'm not young anymore. Although I have a son, he's a very good boy. If we get married, I'll treat you well."

He spoke in a rush. At the same time, the waiter served their food and all sorts of appetizing dishes were spread on the table.

Lucy didn't say anything, but her hands beneath the dining table were tightly clenched.

She really wanted to pour the cup of coffee on his face. What should she do?

"Mr. Adkins, I'm sorry. My son is only four years old, and he is at a sensitive age..."

"You...what did you say?" The man's expression suddenly changed. "You have a four-year-old child?"

Lucy pretended to be embarrassed and nodded. "Yes, but Mr. Adkins, if you..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone lifted her off her chair forcefully.

"Ah, let go of me!"

When Lucy finally looked up, she looked into a pair of dark, cold eyes that bore a look of intense fury!

Lucy was stunned. She wasn't expecting him to pull this card on her. He kept blinking his tiny eyes, but instead of it making him look charming, it made him look nasty.

Even though they hadn't seen each other in five years, she could still recognize him at one glance. What was Arthur doing here?

All of a sudden, she felt as if she had fallen into icy water.

Arthur was very tall, nearly 1.9 meters and slender. His black coat was flapping aesthetically from his earlier action.

Run, escape quickly!

Realizing this, Lucy hastily struggled to run away. However, before she could take more than two steps, she was

pulled backwards, and she bumped into his sturdy chest.

Hearing the sound of his heartbeat, she felt like crying.

Arthur could no longer control himself. He bent down and picked her up, then walked out of the restaurant in long strides.

Mr. Adkins was left standing where he was, gaping in surprise speechlessly.

...

In the dim parking lot, Lucy's panicked voice sounded more and more forlorn.

Lucy struggled with all her might. She said with a panicked expression, "Mister, I don't know you. Please let go of me!"

It had been five years!

She wasn't expecting to meet him again in her lifetime!

However, Lucy hod olreody mode up her mind to insist thot she did not know him. She continued looking frightened with her red-rimmed eyes, os if she wos indeed thot innocent ond hormless.

From Arthur's ongle, he could see Lucy's beoutiful foce. Five yeors hod not chonged her much, os if time hod stopped still.

He leoned very close to her, their noses olmost touching.

"Lucy, you dore soy thot you don't know me?"

She wos olive... She wos reolly olive!
