Trapped Married By Young Master - Chapter 130
‘But…but how can you argh!” Teddy just can’t say hugging, because the activity is too intimate to talk about.
Luci could only fold her arms and tilt her head to Teddy. In just one look, people would know that Luci was in a situation that made her very sick.
“It’s a long story, I already told you.” That was all Luci could say. Because if Luci had to tell him why she was able to cuddle with Evan, then Luci had to tell him about Grand Lady who came to her last night. That would be a very long story.
Teddy froze and looked at Luci with empty eyes, could not understand, that’s all that was in his head at this time. “Well, I don’t think this is the right time to talk. Come to the shop when you’re not busy! And don’t let him torture you okay?” Teddy sighed.
Then again Teddy peeked into the TV room to check if Evan was still sitting on the couch or not. “Luckily he’s gay, so he won’t go too far with you,” Teddy said as he patted Luci on the shoulder a few times, to channel his deepest empathy.
Luci raised an eyebrow. ‘Teddy still thinks Mr. Evan is gay? Never mind, instead of him continuing to worry about me, it’s better if he continues to be in this misunderstanding,’ Luci thought.
“Well, I’ll say goodbye first, Lu. Take good care of yourself, okay? Call me if anything happens.” Teddy waved then left.
Luci turned and sank behind the door of her flat after nodding at Teddy’s departure. Without greeting and saying anything to Evan, Luci walked to her room to get some money. She wanted to go to the nearest convenience store and buy some ingredients for making porridge. Luci wants to make Spider’s porridge.
Evan looked over and watched Luci from a distance. In silence, Evan was stricken with anxiety. “Why did she go straight to the room anyway? Did the guy who just came over want to ask her out?” worried Evan. When he found Luci out, Evan stiffened and fell silent, seeming to be startled by something that made him not know what to say.
Luci glanced at Evan. Within her wide, lively eyes, she found disappointment and fear on Evan’s face. ‘He’s like that again,’ Luci thought.
“I want to go to the convenience store. Want me to buy you something?” offered Luci. The money wasn’t that much at the moment, because Luci hadn’t disbursed the advance from Evan’s side. But if she just buys some snacks, Luci can still afford them.
“Why did you go there?” Evan asked. Sadness really couldn’t be hidden from his face at this moment.
“I want to make porridge for my brother,” answered Luci. “How?”
“You want to come to your brother’s house?” Evan shrank and withered. His shoulders seemed paralyzed and powerless. It turned out that Luci still hadn’t given up the intention to visit his brother’s house. Even though Evan thought his fear of Luci and his stepbrother was over. But not yet.
“No. But I want to make him porridge. One of his acquaintances was at the Medical Sky hospital. I can deliver the porridge and leave it with that person. How? Do you want to buy something or not?” Luci still offered to buy something if Evan wanted it.
However, it seemed that Evan didn’t care about what Luci had just asked. “I’m coming,” Evan said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out his clean cloth mask. He has used it if he wanted to go out without his bodyguard. Protecting that identity was an important step for someone as important and influential as him.
“Hah? You’re coming? Do you want to come?” Luci took a step back as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard. An Evan who owns many elite shopping centers now wants to go to the convenience store? ‘He must be joking,’ Luci thought.
Evan nodded, was already wearing a mask on his face. “Yeah, I want to buy some snacks. Your fridge is empty too, right? I want to buy groceries. You have to cook a good meal for me. Because I will stay here until tomorrow morning.” Evan had already walked ahead of Luci to head out of the flat.
While Luci was still astonished in her place, turned off the TV which was still on, and then went after Evan.
“You don’t have to come if you don’t want to come. I’m okay with carrying a lot of luggage.” Luci was just making excuses, didn’t want Evan to come with her because maybe people would misunderstand if they saw Luci walking with a young man other than Teddy. Moreover, the people around Luci’s place are very fond of gossiping.
“I just want to go shopping. Why are you so fussy?” Evan snapped. Evan’s towering body seemed capable of bewitching anyone who saw it. His eyes were sharp and dazzling and his skin was smooth and healthy.
“It is not like that. You said that – uh, you said that your grandmother would punish me if you left.” Luci didn’t seem willing to give up on trying to make Evan give up. Because considering how big the effect of gossip around her residence is.
‘I can be the butt of people later. The owner of the flat will also reprimand me. Hah, damn it!’ Luci cursed in her heart.
“If you just go out and do some shopping it’s fine.” Evan’s ladder had already descended the stairs to the first floor.
Luci immediately followed Evan’s very wide steps. Luci’s eyes were always roaming around to make sure that none of her neighbors left the room.
However, as it turned out, at the end of the stairs on the first floor there were several girls gossiping and giggling. Those two girls are one of the gossip mongers in the flat
Luci hastily grabbed Evan’s arm and pulled him behind and back into the flat. “But – but if something happens to you outside later, I’ll be the one getting hit by the rock. I beg you to go back inside!” whispered Luci pleadingly to Evan.
Evan smacked Luci’s hand. “Why are you doing this? I said I was going out which means I’m going out anyway!” angry Evan.
Luci’s attempts to lower her voice were ruined so as not to be heard by the two girls huddled at the end of the winding staircase. Now it was not only the two girls who heard and looked up, some of the other girls around there couldn’t help but look up.
‘Get lost!’ Luci cursed to herself. ‘Now I have no way to get out. I’d better pretend I don’t know Mr. Evan, right!’ Luci continued in her mind.
She broke through Evan’s body and walked in front. Luci seemed to move her feet, she checked her cellphone as if she was chasing time for something.
Meanwhile, whispers of gossip have been heard. “Hey, look at the slutty killer girl gone down. She brought men too. I bet she just satisfy him.”
One of the other girls replied, “It seems you are right. Judging from the physical appearance of the man who was with her, he seemed to be a rich man. Huh, she killed her not-so-rich boyfriend for the sake of getting richer guys.” The stinging eyes of the gossiping girls now tortured Luci and judged Luci horribly.
If the two girls at the end of the stairs only dared to whisper, then not with one of the girls who was relaxing in front of her room, with a position a bit far from where she was standing at this time. She couldn’t bear to make fun of Luci directly. “Hey, cheap girl, new to selling out bodies huh?”
Luci didn’t answer anything, chose to immediately leave and get out of the building. From behind, Evan observed Luci. From behind, Evan began to cultivate the empathy within him that he aimed for Luci.
‘How can she survive in an environment like this?’ Evan thought pitifully.
