Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 128

Luci was just about to get up from the chair to go to the TV room again before her eyes finally caught Evan’s figure. If previously Evan was openly caught by Luci while eavesdropping, then not this time. Evan had turned his head and went into the TV room.

“He’s eavesdropping again huh?” sneered Luci while narrowing her eyes.

From outside there was a sound like a hammer hitting. Maybe not a hammer blow, but more like noise-like objects being hit.

Just then, Luci’s cell phone rang again. There’s an incoming message from Teddy.

“I’m already outside and trying to open the door for you.” That’s the sound of the message that was sent by Teddy.

Luci also punched the air and sped quickly to head forward. It turned out that Evan was also at the front to keep an eye on what was going on.

“Someone is trying to open it,” said Evan, who was trying to explain it to Luci.

“I know. I did have someone open it.” Luci walked happily and leaned closer to the door. “Come on, Ted, quickly open the door and set me free!” shouted Luci from behind the door.

BADUM! STAB! Evan felt pain in the pit of his heart. The fact after seeing Luci so happy just because she wanted to get out and be free from him hurt him.

He backed away slowly. For a moment he was dazed and didn’t pay attention to his footsteps until he almost fell. But luckily he was able to straighten himself back up.

Soon the door opened. Teddy’s head poked through the door. There was a toolbox in his hand.

“Hah, there’s someone who put the iron supports outside. And the iron was smashed quite strong and deep. But luckily the hammer could help,” Teddy sighed as he raised the hammer in his hand. The hammer seemed to shine like a very precious heirloom to Luci.

“Thank you, Ted. Want a drink first?” asked Luci. She was ready to snatch the toolbox that was in Teddy’s hand.

But Teddy politely refused. “No, thank you. I have to complete some orders at the shop.”

“Oh, so you came just to free me?” Luci was truly flattered.

Evan looked at Luci disdainfully. He

was back on the sofa. “Look at that sweet pretentious attitude, tsk!”

“Yeah, that’s how it is. I would do anything for my cousin-in-law,” Teddy sobbed.

Evan looked up quickly. “What? Cousin-in-law?” whispered Evan with great distaste.

“Eh, you have a guest, you see.” Teddy cleared his throat and tiptoed slightly to peek. He was still wondering who Luci was hugging when Teddy came to her place to deliver the mask. ‘And is that guest I saw yesterday?’ thought Teddy with a full eye? “Your boyfriend?” asked Teddy with his face made as natural as possible.

“Yeah, you could say that,” Evan replied from a distance in a low, irritated voice. Even though Teddy’s question was not directed at Evan at all. “So don’t ever think of her as your cousin-in-law again!” Evan continued with a frown on his face.

“Hah? He’s my client, you know.” Luci brought her face closer to Teddy and gave the code to a man in front of her with a wink.

Teddy’s face was as smooth as a baby’s bottom contorted in thought. Even though only a few days ago Luci told Teddy about Luci’s new client. But Teddy had forgotten that easily. Maybe the busywork at the shop drowned out almost all of his memories.

“You forgot again? Hah? Did you forget again?” Luci raised her hand and prepared to slap Teddy on the shoulder. She was ready to throw him a slap if only Teddy didn’t interrupt her with his memory fully restored.

“Hudan? Mr. Evan Robert Hudan?” Teddy widened his eyes in disbelief. After getting a nod from Luci, Teddy tilted his head to peek at Evan’s figure who was watching Teddy.

Like a high-power electric shock, Teddy jumped up and shook violently. With a reflex, Teddy pulled Luci’s arm out.

“Huff, I’m dead my heart feels like it’s about to burst. He looked me in the eye earlier,” Teddy argued in a hiss-like voice. Then Teddy peeked at Evan again, but before his head could get through the end of the door, Teddy stopped himself. Maybe that’s not a good idea. It could be that Teddy peeking out would offend Evan, thought Teddy.

“Why are you here?” Luci let go of Teddy’s hand which was holding Luci’s hand.

“Why are you like that? Ouch, why did you bring a conglomerate to your slums?” Teddy scratched his head. “What if he feels uncomfortable and cuts your head off?” he continued with great concern. Looks like Luci really couldn’t stop worrying Teddy.

Luci leaned back for a moment to look at Evan who was still sitting on the sofa. “Sorry, I just stayed to talk to my friend. It’s just out here.” Luci waved her hand at Evan and smiled.

Teddy gaped at how relaxed Luci was when talking to Evan. “Watch your attitude, Lu! You could ignite his temper if you speak informally like that!”

“He’s the one who asked me to speak informally,” replied Luci with a shrug.

“WHAT?” Teddy shouted like a man in a trance. After realizing how loud his voice was, Teddy cursed himself. “Gosh, my stupid mouth. What?” This time Tedy had lowered his voice again. Even Teddy’s voice was like the quietest whisper in the silent darkness of the night.

“Long story. And if you want to hear it in full you’ll be spending the rest of the night here.” Luci seemed to be challenging Teddy at this time. And Luci knew that Teddy wouldn’t have time to listen to all of Luci’s stories right now.

“Okay, okay, you win.” Teddy waved his hand in the air. “Ehem, but, mmm, before I go home I want to ask you something.” Teddy looked back and forth or hesitated when he wanted to ask something that had been on his mind since yesterday. Several times Teddy was seen tilting his head to peek at Evan.

Only one thing bothered Teddy’s mind. Don’t ask the obvious thing! What’s the thing if not the man who hugged her? Teddy would never be able to forget that until he had to ask Hans about Luci’s love affairs because Teddy couldn’t believe what he had witnessed with his own eyes.

“What? What do you want to ask? You’re acting weird today.” Luci also looked at Evan if Teddy did it. Teddy is very suspicious of Luci who incidentally has known Teddy for a very long time.

“That… exactly who was the man who hugged you yesterday?” Teddy scratched the back of his neck embarrassed. It felt like Teddy had gone too far in meddling in Luci’s business, but that wasn’t really what he meant. “Is…that guy your boyfriend?”

“Oh my gosh, no! I do not have a lover!” Luci said in a high-pitched voice. Of every possibility that Luci thought of about Teddy’s question, none of them had anything to do with Teddy’s preconceptions about Luci having a boyfriend.

“Hah? Then?” The fact that the man hugging Luci was not Luci’s boyfriend made Teddy even more shocked. If that man was Luci’s boyfriend, then Teddy could still understand that. But if not, Teddy would feel shocked. ‘Because Luci and that guy’s hug was so intimate,’ thought Teddy.

Luci cleared her throat at first. Her eyes glanced here and there to make sure that no one was around them within a one-meter radius, she looked and peeked at the TV room to check whether Evan was still there or not (remembering several times Evan had eavesdropped on Luci’s conversation). After making sure Evan was still sitting on the sofa and watching TV, Luci brought her face closer to Teddy.

“That man is Mr. Evan,” Luci whispered in Teddy’s ear.

In an instant, Teddy glared “WHAT?” Teddy shouted uncontrollably.
