Chapter 2

Lucia told her mother that August was coming for dinner. As for the marriage

certificate, she would not mention it until Bill came back. Only in such a way,

could she have someone to back her up.

“He?” Elisa did not understand at first. But when she saw her daughter’s blushing

face, she instantly understood who he was referred to. “Okay!” Elisa glanced at the

vegetables in the basket, and immediately walked to the door, changing her shoes

and saying, “I’ll go buy some fish and meat.”

Before Lucia could reply, Elisa had already left, and that was when Lucia could

breathe a sigh of relief. She went back to her room, closed the door and carefully

took out the marriage certificate in her pocket.

“Am I really not dreaming?” Lucia lay on the bed, holding the certificate above her

head, muttering to herself. At this point, her mind was in chaos, and then she

suddenly thought of the last words August had said to her in the car.

August had said that he could give her everything except love.

In fact, so did she. Since she had been betrayed two years ago, she had lost hope

in relationships. Lucia even thought she would never fall in love with anyone in

her life again. Otherwise, she would not go on a blind date.

The both of them went for the blind date with their cards on the desk, making it

clear that there were no feelings involved. Their both believed that marriage was

just a tool to prove that they were also living a ‘normal’ life.

Thinking of this, Lucia relaxed a little. Although their marriage was an accident,

its essence went as she had planned before. So what did she have to worry about?

After Lucia convinced herself for a while, she fell asleep. It was past five

o’clock in the afternoon when she woke up. She rubbed her eyes as if she had not

woken up yet.

“August, right? Drink water and eat an apple. I bought these at the market this

morning. They are very fresh.”

Just when Lucia was still thinking about whether to go back to sleep again, the

enthusiastic voice of her mother outside made Lucia shudder.

‘August? Water and apple?’ Is there any guest at home?’ Lucia scratched her head

for a while before she suddenly remembered that August had said he would come.

Lucia rushed out like a rocket. As soon as she left the door, she bumped into

Elisa, who was about to knock on the door with a fruit bowl.

Elisa rolled her eyes at Lucia who was always in a hurry, then said softly with a

motherly smile, “Lucia, you came out just in time. August is here, come and talk to

him.”

Lucia’s heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall,

and the hour hand just pointed to six o’clock. ‘He really came! Just on time.’

Lucia grinned awkwardly, having an urge to hide in her room, but the quick-witted
