Get you in my arms

Chapter 56 Make Soup For Him

After John fell asleep, Sophia came out and saw that Lucas was still outside. "I thought you had gone."

"How can I go before you come out?" He smiled bitterly.

She took his arm. Hearing her stomach rumble, she realized that they hadn't had dinner yet. She looked at him apologetically and said, "are you hungry? Let's go back for dinner."

He nodded slightly, to be honest, he had no appetite at all, he was still struggling about it.

When they returned to Bluewater Villa, she bent over the table, like a hungry wolf swooping on its prey, while he drank full glass after glass.

He was in a bad mood, which was evident to her. But she didn't say anything.

She stood up and took his hand, "I'm so full. Let's take a walk in the garden to help digestion."

Without saying a word, he silently followed her out. A faint smell of alcohol mixed with a slightly drunk smell floated faintly on him.

He stared at the shadows, and she looked at him.

His face became more gloomy in the darkness.

"Lucas." She called his name and hugged him, leaning her head against his chest. His heart was beating so fast and heavily. Was this the reaction of anger? She bit her lip, "Lucas, don't get me wrong, OK? John got hurt because he tried to save me. I just hope his eyes to recover soon. I don't want to owe him anything. "

He raised his hands and held her tightly.

It was exactly because of John's big favor that he had to keep his promise.

Why wasn't he the one who got hurt? Why didn't he protect her well? After all, it was all his fault!

"I will find the best doctor for John and cure his eyes."

"Yes." She smiled softly and took the initiative to kiss him on her tiptoe to show her gratitude for his tolerance.

In the next week, she would take care of John after work and bring him the soup she made.

On Saturday, she got up early and bought some walnut and pig brain in the food market. John liked pig brain soup most.

Seeing that her daughter was busy preparing food in the kitchen, Mandy couldn't help reminding her: "Sophia, although it's your duty to take care of John, don't ignore Lucas. You must be careful. Don't let him misunderstand."

"Mom, I know." "I'm just worried that he will be unhappy. That's why I often make soup here," she added, pouting her lips

Mandy grabbed her hand and said, "let me tell you. Even if you are always absent, someone will replace you soon. When love is there, remember to cherish it, and don't regret losing it."

Lola nodded her head. She also knew that there were so many women around Lucas, including wolf and tiger in front of him, and Maggie who was always waiting to be a substitute. She did not dare to blink her eyes.

"Man, the contrast between excellent performance and safety is too strong." She sighed. "Sometimes, I really hope that he is an ordinary person, so that he can be more reliable."

"I don't care who you are." Mandy sneered, "those who are rich always cheated on their wives, but those who don't have money still love to cheat on their wives. Men are unreliable, and the point is that their moral quality depends on them."

She agreed with her mother. Her father, Sam, was a good example to prove that he was still a gang member because of his poor character.

As they spoke, the soup was already boiling in the dark red sand soup. She turned off the heat and waited for it to boil slowly.

Mandy added some water to the soup and said, "make more soup and leave half for Lucas."

This sensitive topic reminded her of the fact that she had never cooked soup for Lucas!

So she went to the supermarket and bought pork ribs and lotus root soup for Lucas because he liked to drink it.

After visiting John in the hospital, she took the soup specially made for Lucas to ZW Group.

Today was weekend, but Lucas chose to stay in the office. Maybe it was because of her absence.

Seeing Sophia, Lucas was slightly surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"I made you some soup." She smiled, put the thermos bottle on the tea table, and scooped out a bowl, "it's still hot, come and drink it."

He walked to the French window and looked out before sitting down in front of the tea table. "Why do you want to cook soup for me? The sun is rising in the East today."

"What? If you don't want to drink it, forget about it!" She pouted her lips to show her dissatisfaction.

"Drink it. How could I not drink the soup made by my wife?" He smiled and tasted the food with the spoon. It was really delicious and deserved 100 thumbs up.

"Is it tasty?" She looked at him with her eyes wide open.

"Yummy, yummy." He nodded, and then drank up all the soup slowly and elegantly. Seeing his contented look, she giggled, "if you like it, I can cook for you every day."

"Okay, I'll drink it every day." He took her hand and said, "but I want you to cook for me. Don't share the same food with John."

Sophia blinked her eyes naughtily. She had expected that Lucas would think in this way, so she put her hands around his neck and said, "this is lotus root and pork rib soup. It's your favorite. Of course it's specially made for you."

"So I am more important?" He scraped her nose and stared at her with his deep eyes glimmering.

"Yes, you're the most important. You're my husband." She smiled sweetly.

The smile on his face was wide, from the edge of the lips to the tip of his eyes. It was like honey, sweet into his heart. He was so drunk that he couldn't help lowering his head and covering her small mouth.

In the evening, he went to visit John with Sophia. He was informed that the most authoritative ophthalmology and brain specialists from America would arrive in Q City tomorrow, and they were making a diagnosis for John.

However, there was no smile on John's face. As soon as he heard Lucas' voice, he was unhappy.

Worrying that her son might cause trouble, Mrs. Xu advised John after Lucas and Sophia left, "John, don't mess with Mr. Lucas. you should bear with him as much as you can."

"Mom, why are you so afraid of him? He is not omnipotent!" John snapped.

"He can't control everything, but he can turn things upside down! As you can see, Xue Group is not only wealthy, but also far away from Australia. However, it was destroyed by him within just three months. You don't know that now everyone in business circle calls him the God of war. He trembles with fear when hearing his name. " Said Mrs. Xu, smacking her lips.

"So what? Come at me if he can. I'm not afraid of him! " The more fierce his rival was, the more disadvantageous he would be!

"Actually, all you did is because of that woman named Sophia." Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at him, "I'm telling you, Sophia is a bane. If you fight against Lucas, the X Group will be implicated."
