Chapter 632

As long as the paparazzi dug out any information, even if Lucy Katz did not say anything, her presence alone was enough for them to fabricate something out of the blue.

Lucy’s face turned cold as she thought about this. She ordered the driver, “Turn around, let’s go to Orchid Villa.”

The driver was familiar with the place, so he followed her orders and drove off.

20 minutes later, the car arrived at Orchid Villa.

Fortunately, no one knew about this place yet, so they were safe here for the time being.

Lucy and Carina got down from the car. Carina carried the bags and the two of them walked in. Suddenly, Lucy’s phone rang.

She saw the caller ID. It was her mother.

Lucy picked up without a second thought.

On the opposite end, she could hear Mama Katz’s gentle voice.

“Lu, are you home?”

Lucy had mentioned to her mother that the closing ceremony for the movie was yesterday and that she would be home a day later. That was why Mama Katz asked this.

Her cold face turned a bit more gentle and replied, “I’m home. Mom, how are you?”

Mama Katz laughed and said, “I’m very good. Even the doctor said that my body has healed quickly and I can be discharged after a while.”

With this sentence, Lucy’s tense mood loosened a little.

This was considered one of the best news she had heard during this period.

Lucy smiled and said, “That’s good. I’ll pick you up on the day you’re discharged.”

Mama Katz laughed and replied, “No no. You do your thing, I can go home by myself.”

Lucy looked at the villa in front of her and laughed lightly.

“Of course not. You don’t even know where I live. How can you come over by yourself?”

Mama Katz was stunned when she heard this.

“Isn’t your apartment on Fourth Avenue? How would I not know?”

When she mentioned this, Lucy could only sigh helplessly.

“We can’t stay there for the time being. I’m staying somewhere else. When you get discharged then I’ll bring you over.”

Mama Katz was shocked and asked in concern, “What happened? Why can’t you stay there?”

She was still unaware of the news online as she was recuperating from the surgery and did not go online during this period.

Moreover, she was an old lady and was not familiar with Weibo or the internet.

That was why she was still in the dark about the slander Lucy was facing.

This was a good thing for Lucy.

After all, if another person knew about this, it would just be an extra person who would be concerned about her.

It would not be of any help.

Lucy pressed her lips together and explained, “It’s nothing. I’ll explain it to you once you’re out of the hospital.”

Although Mama Katz was still concerned, she just nodded.

After they ended the call, Lucy brought Carina into the house.

No one was staying here at the moment.

Lucy asked Carina to go home after she dropped off the bags.

She then went up, took a shower, blew dry her hair, and scrolled through her phone.

Susan Reed had already sent over her schedule for the coming week.

Lucy roughly glanced through it and noticed she did not have many films lately.

On her schedule, she only had to go overseas for a photoshoot for a cosmetics endorsement 2 days later.

These 2 days would be her rest days.

Lucy thought for a bit and gave Joel Foster a call.

“What are you doing?”

On the other end, Joel’s muffled voice sounded.

“Nothing much. You’re back?”

Lucy did not notice anything wrong with his tone and nodded.

“Yup. I just got home. I can’t stay at the apartment, so I came to Orchid Villa.”

Joel laughed and said, “Do you miss me?”

Lucy also laughed.

She was not willing to flirt with this man and purposely said, “Nope.”

On the other end of the call, Joel snorted, “Bad girl! I’ll teach you a lesson when I get home!”

Lucy knew that he was being coquettish.

She looked at the time and asked, “What time are you coming back?”

“Soon.”

Joel did not initially plan to go home so early, but now that he knew Lucy was home, he just wanted to appear right before her eyes immediately.

Lucy nodded and said, “Alright, we’ll talk when you’re home. Bye!”

“Okay.”

After she hung up, she rested for a while, took a bath, and went down to the kitchen when she saw it was almost noon.

Even though nobody was staying here, Joel made sure to have someone stock up the refrigerator with fresh produce every day for her convenience as he did not know when she would be home.

Lucy took out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator when she got to the kitchen.

Since she had nothing to do, she decided to make herself a meal.

Her cooking skills were not bad, but because she had not been using them, her techniques were rusty, thus she had no confidence.

At that moment, she recalled the steps, looked up the recipe, and was good to go.

Lucy’s plan was simple.

After all, it was only the two of them at home. If she made too much, it would be a waste.

Therefore, she only planned to make a simple stir-fried eggplant, braised meat, and a three-delicacy soup.

She started cooking after she prepped the ingredients.

As Joel stepped into the house, he could smell the alluring aroma of the meal.

He raised his eyebrows in shock.

Joel changed out of his shoes, walked inside, and saw the familiar figure in the kitchen, with her back facing him.

His lips cheekily curled up.

At the bottom of his heart, a certain piece that was buried under dust suddenly broke out.

How long had he not seen this scene?

It was warm, quiet, and made one feel secure and relaxed.

Joel did not make a sound and just leaned against the door frame while he silently stared at her.

Lucy was so engrossed in cooking that she did not notice his presence.

It was not until she finished cooking and turned around to get a bowl for the soup that she saw the man idly standing there.

She jumped in shock and asked him, “What are you doing? You scared me!”

Joel uncrossed his arms, walked over, and hugged her.

“Why did you suddenly think of cooking?”

She stared at him accusingly and replied, “That sounds like I’ve never cooked before! Don’t forget who was the one who cooked noodles for you a few days ago...”

Joel laughed out loud.

He did not think that she would be so calculative.

Joel nodded seriously, “Yes. It’s you.”

Lucy later thought that she was childish and could not help but laugh.
