Chapter 597

Lucy knew that Joel had many houses, so there was nothing unusual about having a villa here either.

Thinking this way, Lucy completely brushed off the question.

After sitting down at the dining table, she pulled out her phone and called Carina.

When the call had connected, she asked about the situation with the crew and Carina updated her.

Fortunately, her role today was scheduled in the afternoon. Otherwise, since it was already 8:30 am now, it would be too late to put on makeup even if she rushed over now.

After Lucy confirmed the specific time, she got ready to hang up.

Carina had hesitated to say something many times, but in the end, she still did not ask what she wanted to ask. She only advised Lucy to hurry back to the crew after she had finished up, so the director would not see that she was absent and be unhappy.

Lucy quickly agreed and hung up before remembering to ask Joel.

“Oh, right. About last night, how exactly did I run into you?”

Joel glanced at her. “You really can’t remember anything?”

Lucy shook her head blankly.

Joel put a steamed dumpling in her bowl and said, “You were drunk last night.”

Yes, she remembered that.

Lucy nodded in agreement.

“I received a call from you. You said you missed me and asked me to hurry over.”

Lucy stared with wide eyes.

Joel continued slowly. “I was busy at the time and couldn’t leave, but you seemed to be very drunk. You kept saying on the phone how much you missed me and that you were about to cry, so I had no choice but to come over and pick you up.”

After hearing this, Lucy’s entire body froze. She could only be described as shocked.

She looked at Joel in disbelief and only shook her head after half a beat. “I-I don’t believe that. How could I have said that?”

Joel narrowed his eyes slightly and did not refute it. He only said indifferently, “If you say so. Anyway, it doesn’t matter since it’s already passed.”

Lucy, “...”

It would have been fine if he did not phrase it like that, but the way he said it seemed like... It made it seem like she did something overboard to him!

Last night, did she really...

Lucy’s heart was crumbling at this point. She was completely unable to believe that she would say something so shameful when she was drunk.

However, she was a person who always had one thing good about her.

That was she believed in taking responsibility for one’s own actions.

If she did something, even if she did not remember it, she would not deny it.

Thinking like this, she clenched her teeth and suddenly stood up.

“Joel, are you sure what you said was the truth? Did I really call you last night and said all that to you?”

Joel looked at her with deep eyes which flashed with a quick smile.

There was no emotion on his face and he only said, “I told you, it doesn’t matter anymore.”

“No!”

Lucy was stubborn. She felt that by saying that, Joel was looking down on her.

“I need it to be clear. Joel, I don’t think it’s possible for me to voluntarily say that I miss you. Are you lying to me? Hm?”

It was obvious that his little trick had been exposed by the woman but Joel still had that nonchalant look.

He picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and smiled. “You can think whatever you want. I have no evidence anyway and this matter isn’t important to me.”

Lucy looked at his carefree appearance and felt conflicted again.

It seemed like he was not guilty!

It did not look like he was lying.

Last night... Did she really...

Ugh!

Just thinking about it gave her the shivers.

Lucy could not face this part of herself and felt like she was too stupid.

She had never even considered that calling Joel and saying that she missed him was just something that the man made up to tease her.

After finishing her breakfast in the awkward atmosphere, Lucy saw that it was almost time and got ready to leave.

Before she left, she was stopped by Joel.

He walked up and gave her a bunch of keys.

Lucy was stunned and asked, “What’s this?”

“The house keys.”

Joel said, “Soon, Auntie will be able to leave the hospital, but she can’t be squeezed into that small apartment of yours. The environment here is good and quiet, and is suitable for recuperating. You can also move over to live with her. I’ve arranged for maids and other servants. They’ll come in a few days.”

Lucy froze. She had never thought that Joel would arrange this for her.

She looked at the keys in her hand and smiled self-deprecatingly.

“Are you trying to keep me?”

Joel looked at her, his tone neither strong nor weak. “I want to, but are you willing?”

Lucy’s face went cold. “In your dreams!”

Joel suddenly laughed and stretched his arm around her side, encircling her body in his arms. He looked down at her and asked, “Then tell me, what can I do to change your mind?”

Lucy’s heart became flustered for some reason. It was as if there was a little bunny jumping around in her chest.

She looked away, slightly panicky, and said, “I’m not telling.”

After a pause, she said, “Well, it’s getting late and I need to go to work. I’ll talk with you next time.”

Then, she fled in a hurry.

Joel watched the woman run away and smiled.

His eyes were filled with doting and affection.

When Lucy returned to the set, she found that everyone was still unaware of her departure last night.

Seeing that she was late, they only thought that she had drunk too much last night and got up late today. No one suspected where she was last night.

Lucy sighed in relief.

With her script in hand, she walked over to a small stool and sat down. She had already changed into today’s costume. Her hair was fashioned into a bun and there was very light makeup on her face, which suited her character perfectly.

Simon Wilburn was currently filming a scene and required several takes before he passed.

Seeing her, his eyes lit up. He immediately walked over when the scene was over.

“Lulu.”

Lucy was surprised and raised her head.

She was stunned to see Simon.

“What’s wrong?”

Simon smiled as he squatted in front of her and smiled. “Nothing. Just came over to ask how you are since you drank too much last night. Are you feeling okay?”

Many people would have a headache the next day from a hangover after drinking too much.

However, perhaps it was because Joel had fed her the hangover medicine last night, her head did not hurt. However, her body hurt a lot.

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 As for the reason for the pain in her body, she naturally could not tell Simon.

Thus, she only smiled and said gratefully, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”

“Hey, don’t mention it!”

Simon waved his hand carelessly and said, “By the way, I asked my assistant to make a tonic soup at noon today. I’ll send you a portion later, so remember to drink it.”
