Chapter 276
The Billionaire’s Maid Bride
The butler locked Lucky in a storage room, âChill out, pup. Thatâs Ms. Flanagan. She might be your owner someday.â
Lucky saw the butler but didnât make a peep, just lay there on the ground.
The butler chuckled, âWhy the sudden mood swing? Youâre usually not like this with others.â
Luckyâs tail wagged without much interest.
The butler brought some dog food and a can, feeding the dog. Mr. Lindberg had raised the pet for three years, and he loved it a lot. Ordinarily, it would live with Mr. Lindberg in Magnolia Gardens.
Lucian came out from the balcony, catching Penelopeâs words. He walked over, hands in pockets His gaze fell on the necklace around Penelopeâs neck, an ordinary necklace. He frowned slightly as if realizing something, his handsome face as cold as ever.
Penelope didnât notice anything, she continued to absentmindedly touch the necklace around her neck, but it didnât attract any attention.
She was a bit dispirited. She initially thought this necklace was important, but it seemed like the people in the Lindberg family didnât care.
At dinner time, Penelope saw her favorite steamed crab and was about to eat it when Cora interrupted her, âPenelope, youâre pregnant now, you cant eat this.â
âCora, I totally forgot, thanks for reminding me Penelope said.
9 pm Miranda instructed Lucian, Take Penelope home, itâs lateâ
Penelope had a rare journey with Lucian Every time she tried to say something. Lucky at Lucianâs side would bark, interrupting Penelope.
Penelope gritted her teeth âLucian, heâs so cute, whatâs his name?â She said, trying to reach out and pet Lucky Lucky barked, Lucian glanced at him, and he immediately quieted down. Penelope petted Luckyâs head, âSo cute, Lucian, I didnât know you liked dogs so muchâ
âBeen raising him for a few years. Heâs pretty obedient âLucian said, patting Luckyâs ear Penelope looked forward to the future when she would become Lucianâs wife, âHmm, Lucian, letâs get a cat too in the future. That would be nice.â
âPenelope Lucian turned to look at her, his gaze falling on the necklace around her neck, âYou look pretty todayâ
Penelopeâs face lit up. âActually, I didnt really dress upâ
Under the flickering street lights, the manâs handsome face was bathed in light and shadow. Penelope looked at his profile, her heart racing, âI wore this necklace for you today Do you like it?â
The red light ahead, the car stopped.
The corner of Lucianâs mouth lifted, but his eyes were filled with mixed emotions, âItâs nice.â
He paused for a few seconds, his voice still deep. This necklace is unique.â
Penelopes heart pounded. She knew it. He saw this token between them, and he wouldnât be cold to her anymore, After all, it was his gift.
If the necklace hadnât been hidden away by Allison, her relationship with Lucian might have progressed further.
âIâve kept what you gave me very well. This necklace, Iâve always kept it at home. I didnât want to wear it and accidentally break itâ Penelope said.
The look in the manâs eyes was complicated, âReally?â
Penelope quickly said, âOf course.â
Lucian looked at the necklace around her neck again, his eyes devoid of humor, âAs long as you like it, thatâs all that matters.â
