Chapter 83 Lucian pondered, as a hunch about the red knot tied to Allison’s phone started to form in his mind Even if it was a coincidence, even if many people tied knots like that, he still held on to a sliver of hope He opened his mouth to ask, “Were you… That day… “Mr. Lindberg” A s t’s voice suddenly came from outside, “Mr Lindberg, it’s mealtime: The hope in Lucian’s eyes gradually faded, and he replied coldly, “I got it He gave Allison a final, deep look before he left. It wasn’t until his figure completely disappeared from sight that Allison finally let her guard down Grabbing the cleaning tools, she waited a while before opening the door to leave.
She had meant to avoid others, but as soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Linda. Linda looked at her in surprise, “Allison?” Then, she peeked towards the balcony, disbelief in her eyes. Didn’t Lucian just leave from there? Linda had been mopping outside and saw Lucian leave just two minutes ago, only to see Allison emerging afterward. Allison and Lucian were actually… *Allison, you and..” “Shush!” Allison quickly covered her mouth, “Linda, keep this secret for me.” “Oh my g d, you’re actually with Lucian?” Linda exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes wide. Allison knew there was a misunderstanding, but she didn’t know how to explain the scene on the balcony She shook her head, “It’s not what you think.” Linda gave her a teasing look, “Not what I think?

Don’t worry, you better get back to work before the lady sees you and scolds you again.” “Thanks, Linda” At lunchtime, Carter sat at the head of the table, with Cora, Lucian, and Kamilla Lindberg by his side. Carter looked stern, but it was obvious that he was delighted because of Penelope’s pregnancy. Lean seized the opportunity to suggest, “Penelope’s pregnancy is a great blessing for both our families.

Getting married was inevitable. If it had been before, he might have agreed to her request, but now… Lucian withdrew his gaze, saying flatly, “A wedding is a big deal. We need to discuss carefully before picking a date.” Cora agreed, “Indeed, the Lindberg family’s weddings must be as grand and exquisite as possible. Penelope, don’t worry. You need patience and to take good care of your health.” With that said, Lean had no choice but to back down, “You’re right. I was indeed a bit impulsive.” Now that Penelope was pregnant, the wedding was a must. Lean was not in a rush, but Penelope could not wait any longer. She was well aware of who the father of the child in her belly was. The longer it took, the more restless she would feel “But…”
