Chapter 893 Almost Exposed

Lucia's bad mood lasted throughout the dinner. She then went back with August.

As soon as they got back to the room, she couldn't help but ask, "What did Marlena and you talk about when you were away with her?"

She did her best not to sound like she was questioning him. Deep down, she could not suppress her grievances any longer. August detected the sorrow in her eyes. He opened his mouth, planning to tell her what happened in the afternoon. On second thought, he knew that it would only add to her worries.

So, he swallowed back his words and said blandly, "Nothing."

"Really?"

Lucia stared at him, not missing a single expression on his face. When Marlena and August returned, she could tell that something happened between them. However, August was reluctant to tell her. Under her gaze, he nodded.noveldrama

"Yeah."

Lucia bit her lips, feeling down. What was he keeping from her? Seeing that she stood there in dismay, August sighed and took her into his arms.

"It's true. Don't think too much."

His chin rubbed against her head. Lucia leaned against his warm chest and felt his strong heartbeat. Her anxious mind gradually rested at ease. She was being paranoid. August and she had been through a lot. She knew his unswerving love for her. Reassured, she suddenly remembered something and got anxious. In a hurry, she pushed August away, rushed to the window, and looked outside.

She relaxed after confirming that no one was spying on them. Their residence had been watched by Terry's and Marlena's men. They couldn't afford to be careless.

Amused to see her cautious, cute look, August smiled, "Don't worry, no one is there."

He had been vigilant about that. His heart went heavy when he thought of what Marlena said today. He should keep Lucia safe and not expose their relationship to the enemies.

After seeing the guests off, Terry went back to the manor with Tina and Marlena. The manor was large, but Tina chose to walk instead of taking the car. Marlena intimately held her mother's arm. Aware that Tina wanted to talk to him, Terry ambled down the road with them. Two minutes later, Tina unhurriedly broke the silence.

"Terry, I know what you're planning."

Terry had always feared her, but Joe's appearance changed the situation. Dizzy with success, he was no longer afraid of her. This woman was nothing but a freak who doted on her daughter too much. He raised an eyebrow and played dumb.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I was just showing my partner around the manor. Instead of speculating on my plan, you should keep that kid in check," he scoffed. "He was almost exposed today."
