Lucas had just arrived at the door and saw the scene.
Something was wrong. The days of each month came again? It's still early.
Kami and Teddy were so scared that they hid themselves behind Lucas. They didn't want their mommy
to get angry.
Lucas patted his two sons' heads and winked at Sara, telling her to take her younger brothers away.
"Honey, what's wrong? Is there anyone at home who is naughty and displeased my dear wife today? "
He stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders.
She used a brute force to push him away and quickly walked out. She didn't want to see him for a
minute.
"Sophia." He rushed to her like a storm and hold her in his arms to prevent her from running away. She
was not an unreasonable woman. It must be something serious that could make her angry. "Tell me,
what happened?"
Looking at the blank and innocent expression on his face, she was even more angry. He was not only
good at acting, but also the Oscar.
"I'm fine." She angrily turned her head away, unwilling to see his face. She struggled to get away, but
he refused to let her go. "There is something wrong with you!" He pinched her chin and forced her to
look at him.
She lowered her eyes and cast a gloomy shadow on her eyelids. She was struggling violently in her
heart and had a fierce quarrel with him. She got a meaningless assurance, but still bore the pain,
pressed the wound close and went to heal by herself? She suddenly felt so weak. What a contradiction!
This struggle seemed to take all her strength.
Just then, she heard Sara's voice calling them to have lunch downstairs. She seized the chance to
relax herself.
After dinner, Sophia went upstairs with Kami and Teddy, trying to avoid Lucas.
He smiled bitterly and took Sara to the garden to have a walk. If he could find out the answer, then he
asked, "what did your mommy do today?"
"Go to celebrate the birthday of John, and then have an afternoon tea at Celina's house." Sara slowly
replied.
Did she go to Celina's home? "What were Sophia chat with Celina?" He asked with a frown.
Sara tilted her head and thought for a while. "We only stayed for a while before leaving. We didn't have
much to talk about. I just heard from Celina that we would go to sea together in the future, but I don't
want her to join our family activity."
After pondering for a long time, Lucas thought of that Sophia asked him about the pocket towel. He
guessed that she might have misunderstood him because she met Celina in her home.
At the sight of him in the baby's park, the smile on Sophia's face immediately froze. He shook his head
with a bitter smile and asked Sara to look at the twins. He went over and lifted her horizontally when
she wasn't looking at him.
"What are you doing? Put me down! " Sophia was so embarrassed that she kicked her legs
everywhere.
"I have something to tell you." He strode out.
Kami looked at them, eyes wide open. He was startled. "Daddy bites Mommy again!"
"No, they are hiding in their room and playing game." Teddy corrected him.
"It's not your concern. Mind your own business. Go and have fun." Sara crossed her arms on her chest,
like an adult lecturing them. Then they climbed into the castle and jumped off the bed.
Lucas carried her to the bedroom and kicked the door open.
With her feet standing on the ground, Sophia stared at Lucas angrily and her cheeks bulged. "Say it.
Don't waste time."
"Are you mad at that pocket towel?" He looked at her with a meaningful look.
She walked to the window, looking at the lotus pool in front of her, and did not answer.
The night fell. The moonlight was on. Water droplets on the leaves sparkled under the moonlight, like
small stars falling from the sky.
Standing behind her, he said, "somebody took my pocket. I was afraid that you might misunderstand
me, so I didn't want to mention it." Frankly, he grabbed her shoulders and pulled her over to face him.
"Don't think too much. Celina and I are clear. We are only for business."
She sneered. Since it was a simple thing, why did he have to make it complicated?
"Lucas, you promised me you wouldn't lie to me. You even don't need a white lie. But what are you
doing now? Can I trust you?" Her voice was a little sharp.
An apologetic look appeared on his face. He just wanted to forget the fight but it turned out to be even
more complicated. "Sophia, I won't do anything that would hurt you."
"Even if you do, you can choose not to tell me." A hint of mockery flashed in her smile. Her lack of trust
was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart. He had worked so hard to gain confidence in her, but now
his trust was destroyed because of this little thing? He felt annoyed. He ignored her sensitiveness. The
shadow of the family had hurt her so much that she had no sense of security. Even a small stimulation
could possibly make her curl up into her protective shell and never look up.
"Sophia." He put aside the short hair on her forehead and looked at her with earnest eyes. "If one day,
even if you do not forgive me, I will confess to you. But I will not allow such a destructive thing to
happen." He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing the tattoos on his left chest. "I've put you on my chest. I
won't do anything that might lose you."
Her eyes were red and her heart was trembling. The tattoo was a birthday gift from him on last month's
birthday, and her name was Sophia. The strange and warm gift moved her tears instantly.
She turned around and looked out of the window.
The moonlight, like a thin mist, quietly floated on the lotus leaf. When a breeze passed, a quiver of
lightning passed from one leaf to another, and disappeared in the night on the other side of the river.
She blinked her eyes and a tear fell down. Lucas just caught it with his fingers as the tears flickered
with his fingertips in the moonlight. For a moment, both of them stared at it. Then they looked up at
each other and smiled at each other at the same time. In this way, the knot in their hearts scattered.
She leaned her head on his shoulder, gently pounded him on the chest with her fist, and said, "you
messed around with other women. Is Celina interested in you?"
"As long as I'm not interested in her." He laughed in a low voice.
"Stay away from her except for business." With a pout, he lowered his head and kissed her on the
cheek. "I've given Minnie a full charge of the cooperative project. And I don't need to meet her for
business at all, so you have to trust me. Your trust means a lot to me, do you understand?"
"Then you have to be honest to me in the future and don't let me misunderstand you." She put her
arms around his neck and he nodded.
On John's birthday, Ellie held a grand birthday party for him. Of course, John prepared a surprise for
her.
In the evening, when her friends were cheering, a boat slowly floated over.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed a half of the sky red, and the clouds spread from the west to the
east. The whole sky seemed to be red and glowing golden
