Chapter 549

Lucy Katz was afraid that her mother would misunderstand the situation, so she hurriedly explained, “Mom, don’t listen to him. We’re not...”

“Lu!”

Joel Foster interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

He stood up, walked over to her, and put an arm around her shoulders to hug her. His voice was low and gentle, but Lucy heard a trace of threat in his tone.

“I know I’ve made you angry these past few days, and you’re just being coy with me. After all, we’ve been together for so long, so we shouldn’t get hung up over this small matter. Moreover, Aunty is here too. You wouldn’t want to make her worried, right?”

He said while exerting a slight force to his arms. The threat was self-evident.

Lucy was furious, but the man hugged her so tightly that she could not budge. She also did not want to overreact in front of her mother so that her mother would not be concerned.

In the end, she could only look up at the man, gritted her teeth, and said, “Who’s together with you? Joel Foster, stop spouting nonsense!”

Joel smiled lightly. His smile was gentle and charming.

“Look at you! You’re still mad at me. Did you forget that you were at my house that night...”

As he said this, his fingers lightly pinched Lucy’s waist from behind.

Lucy’s back stiffened and immediately thought about that night at Joel’s villa. This man had also pinched her waist like this and asked for her over and over again.

Her whole face turned pale.

Joel saw that his threat was effective and stopped giving her a hard time. He held Lucy’s shoulders and turned towards Mama Katz.

“Aunty, I still have some work to do at the office. Since Lu is here now, I’ll just take my leave.”

Mama Katz knew that he was a busy person and did not want to take up too much of his time so she nodded in agreement.

“Yea, okay. Go ahead and do what you need to. Sorry for troubling you today.”

Joel smiled and said, “No worries, Aunty. This is what I should do.”

After he finished talking, he gave Lucy one last look and left the room with Mike Luther.

Lucy closed the door behind them and walked over to her mother.

Mama Katz saw her expression and asked, “Why? Are you upset?”

Lucy looked at her mother.

“Mom, you’re still asking me this? Didn’t I tell you repeatedly not to let any strangers into your room? You’re here alone most of the time and I’m rarely with you, what if something happens to you?”

Mama Katz heard this and laughed.

“What could possibly happen to me? I’m a sickly old lady. Who would want to do anything to me?”

When she said this, she figured that Lucy was still unhappy, so she quickly added, “Also, Joel’s not a stranger. Did you forget? Your dad used to be an officer for his grandpa. You both grew up together in the same community. Don’t you remember?”

Lucy was holding the jar of water and her fingers clenched.

She was facing away from her mother and said unenthusiastically, “I forgot.”

Mama Katz looked at Lucy skeptically and asked, “You were almost 10 by then. How could you forget?”

As she said this, she sighed and continued, “Speaking of this, Young Master Foster is very caring. Even if he knew that the Katz family was no longer in power and I’m seriously ill now, he still didn’t mind our situation and came over to visit me. Lu, he’s a decent man, you need to appreciate him more.”

Lucy turned around and placed the glass of water on the bedside table. She looked at her mother with a gloomy face and said, “Mom, I’m not in a relationship with him.”

Mama Katz picked up the glass of water and took a sip.

“You’re still embarrassed in front of me? When he said that just now, you didn’t deny it, so it means that you accepted it.”

Lucy frowned.

She did not accept it.

Lucy was obviously threatened and did not dare to say it to his face.

As she thought about it, her face subconsciously became more upset.

Mama Katz saw that Lucy was unwilling to talk about this and waved her hand.

“Alright alright. It’s okay if you don’t want to admit it. I just think that Joel truly likes you, and I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity. Did you really think that I couldn’t tell that you both were not dating? If so, I must be living in vain all these decades.”

Lucy let out a deep breath after she saw that her mom did not misunderstand her.

She pulled over a chair and sat by the bed.

Lucy held her mother’s hand and looked up at her. She said in a serious tone, “Mom, I don’t feel like getting married, so even if he likes me, I’m not reciprocating. If he comes over again, can you just avoid him?”

Mama Katz was stunned and could not believe what Lucy said.

She had only just realized the gravity of this matter and turned solemn.

Mama Katz grasped Lucy’s hand, frowned, and spoke profoundly, “Oh Lu, are you hiding something from Mom? Why do I think that your words are a little odd today?”

Lucy shook her head slowly and did not want to show her mother the touch of sadness in her eyes. She reluctantly smiled and replied, “I’m fine, I’m just letting you know.”

Nevertheless, nobody understood Lucy more than her mother.

After Officer Katz became ill and passed away, Mama Katz remarried and their lives had been insufferable since.

All these years, Mama Katz practically single-handedly raised her daughter.

Therefore, how would Mama Katz not catch the slight emotion that flashed across Lucy’s eyes?

She frowned and pondered for a moment, then thought about a possibility.

“Did that shameless Fourth Cecil beg you for money again?”

Spoiled by the President Chapter 548 Always Grateful Wrong Ride, Right Lover Chapter 1980 Atrophy of Love: Mr. Harris, Stop Fooling Around!

Fourth Cecil was Lucy Katz’s stepfather.

Lucy pressed her lips together and smiled at her mother.

“No.”

“Really? Don’t lie to Mom.”

Mama Katz was most concerned about Fourth Cecil. She blamed herself for having met him during her most desperate moment and even dragged her daughter into this mess.

Lucy shook her head, held her mother’s hands, and consoled her, “Really. Even if he comes to me, I don’t have any money to offer him. He probably knew that I wouldn’t give him the money, so he hasn’t bothered me in a long time.”

She did not want her mother to feel troubled.

The most important thing that could benefit a patient’s recovery was to keep an open and calm mindset.

If her mother knew that not only did Fourth Cecil pester her over and over again, he even ganged up with others to harass her, she would not tolerate it.

This time, Mama Katz did not detect Lucy’s hesitance.

“That’s good. Lu, if he looks for you, you must tell me. This bastard. I was so blind then, so I was tricked by him. Now that you’re finally out of this mess, I won’t allow him to hurt you again.”

After Mama Katz said this, she took a few breaths because she got too agitated.
