Chapter 616

Lucy pursed her lips and consoled her mother. “Mother, it’s not your fault. There are so many b*stards in this world. Thus, we can never expect us to be lucky all the time and never run into one, right? Furthermore, he has been arrested by the police. Nothing like this will happen in the future, so stop blaming yourself.”

Mama Katz felt reassured and replied to her in acknowledgment.

Lucy only hung up the phone after telling her mother a few things that she should pay attention to when signing the divorce papers.

At 9:00 p.m., Joel came back.

Meanwhile, Lucy had just sent Carina, who brought something over to her, off. Just as she wanted to enter the house, she saw a familiar car driving in from a distance.

She stood still and slightly smiled as the car came closer.

Joel got out of the car, followed by Mike. Mike had brought a suitcase over.

Joel explained, “I heard from Carina that you wanted to bring some of your things over, but it’s inconvenient for her, so I asked Mike to bring them over. You may check and see whether these are what you want.”

Lucy was taken aback. Her eyes fell upon the suitcase, recognizing that it was the one she normally used. She pursed her lips and asked, “So, are you planning to keep me here for a long stay?”

Joel laughed before he ordered Mike to carry the suitcase in. He then took her by the waist and walked in while saying, “Why? Do you want to live somewhere else?”

Lucy paused. Although she had done nothing wrong, why did she feel like he was having the upper hand over her?

Mike left after he put down the things.

Lucy saw that Joel had been tired for a day, so she was hesitating if she should go back to her place. However, she felt embarrassed to bring it up now. Instead, she asked in concern, “Have you eaten dinner?”

Joel glanced at her and said gently, “No.”

“Then, shall I cook a bowl of noodles for you?”

“Okay.”

He did not refuse. The glimmers of a smile overflowed in his eyes.

The way he looked at her was as if he was looking at the rare treasure that had already fallen into his hands.

Lucy was unclear of his gaze because she did not know what this man was thinking.

Nevertheless, she could only not think about it. She then turned around and went into the kitchen.

Luckily, there were some ingredients available in the kitchen. Thus, it was not troublesome for her to make a dish.

She made a bowl of seafood noodles within a short time.

As for Joel, he made use of this time and went to take a shower upstairs.

The noodles were already ready and placed on the table when he came down. They looked very appetizing and tasty. A delicious odor greeted him as he sat down at the dining table. He smiled. “Your cooking skills have improved.”

Lucy suddenly remembered the bowl of noodles that she made for him last time when he said this. There was a hot sensation on her cheeks.

However, Joel did not think much and started eating.

She looked at him nervously and asked, “Is it delicious?”

However, the man frowned and she suddenly became nervous.

Frankly, although she could cook, she had not done so in a long time.

She normally spent her time filming with the crew. Even if she had occasional breaks, she could only steal a moment of leisure from her busy schedule. She did not want to move at all, let alone cook.

Therefore, even if she had time, Carina was the one who cooked her meals.

Now, thinking about it, she had not been cooking for so long, hence she had no confidence in her cooking.

She quickly smiled awkwardly after seeing Joel’s gloomy expression. “Don’t force it if it’s not delicious. I’ll call for takeout.”

She got up and prepared to call after speaking.

As soon as she got up, the man tugged at her wrist. He easily pulled her into his arms with just a little effort.

Confused and dizzy, She had already fallen on his lap before she knew it.

Joel encircled her waist and held her in his arms. He lowered his eyes and smiled. “I’m just joking. It’s delicious. You don’t have to order takeout.”

Only then did Lucy understand that he had purposely done that to tease her.

A wave of sudden anger surged within her heart. She raised her hand, thumped his shoulders, and gritted her teeth. “Why are you so mean?”

As Joel smiled, his joy radiated from within. He could not hide his happiness when he looked down at her.

“Well, I’m mean. Then, you’ll have to take care of me in the future.” His voice was low and husky as his slightly hot breath greeted her nose.

Lucy did not know what was going on, but she blushed suddenly.

He lowered his head slightly, causing their two faces to be extremely close. They were so close as if she could kiss his lips as soon as she raised her head.

Lucy felt a little uncomfortable because she was trapped in the man’s arms and was enveloped by the refreshing scent of the man. It was like a thin and cool wind wrapping her up in all directions, suffocating her.

“Don’t, don’t do this.” She pushed his chest gently.

Joel laughed. “I didn’t do anything. You fell by yourself.”

Lucy’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’d better say it again. Did I fall by myself?”

He just laughed and had to admit, “Okay, I did pull you over on purpose. Lucy, are we considering getting back together now?”

Startled, she did not know how this topic suddenly came up.

Joel sighed upon seeing her surprised expression. He caressed her head and said, “I understand. I have done many awful things to you previously.

Although you have forgiven me, you were forced to due to the circumstances at that time, so you still blame me right now.”

“I don’t know what to do to dispel your doubts, but you are the only one in this world that can make me feel helpless.”

“Lucy, I always have a sense of defeat while facing you. I don’t have the confidence to ask you again.”

“But I know that if I don’t ask, you will never open up your heart to me. Then, we’ll never be able to understand each other and we’ll never get back together.”

Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 “So, I’m asking you now. Lucy, are you willing to be with me?”

Lucy just stood there blankly, staring at him without giving any response. She did not expect Joel to be so attentive to such an extent. He even saw through her mind.

Indeed, even if she had promised to get back with him temporarily, she still had many doubts.

Although she truly loved this man and knew that she would never be able to love another man even if he was not the one, neither did she have the courage or the desire to take that last step.
