Chapter 356Chapter 356 An Opportunity
Joshua walked over and sat down beside him, his eyes subconsciously wandered toward the red wine
swept on the table, and his eyes suddenly straightened.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the wine bottle.
"Why..how did you open this bottle of wine?" Joshua asked.
August heard the sound of his voice, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at him, without saying a
word.
Joshua howled.
"Do you know how much effort I spent to get this bottle of wine?! I have so many years of it in a series,
why did you choose this particular one?"
He asked Augustus with an upset tone.
Augustus silently turned a deaf ear, picked up the wine glass unhurriedly, shook it gently, and took
another sip.
Joshua looked at him as he did this, and couldn't say anything.
"August, you..."
He muttered angrily.
August raised his eyes and interrupted him softly.
"It's just a bottle of wine," he said.Joshua was so angry that he stretched out his finger and pointed at him repeatedly and finally looked at
the bottle of red wine that had been half drunk, and couldn't talk anymore.
"Forget it," He said and slumped down on the sofa next to him.
"Who messed with you again? Every time you're unhappy, my wine will suffer!" He asked Augustus.
August was silent, his face was cold, and he refused to say a word.
Joshua stretched out his hand, picked up a goblet from the side, poured half a glass for himself, then
looked at August and murmured, "Could it be because of Lucia? I heard she came back."
Hearing this name, August's face suddenly sank a little, and he picked up the wine glass and drank the
remaining liquid directly. Joshua clicked his tongue twice.
"It seems that it's because of her," he said.
Augustus put the wine glass on the table with a bang, looked up at him, and sneered.
"Because of her? How is that possible?" He asked.
Joshua raised his eyebrows.
"Then tell me, who made you do this?" He asked.
If others didn’t understand him, did Joshua also not understand him? August had always been calm
and self-controlled, and would never drink booze for any reason.
The last time this happened was five years ago.
At that time, after he had been looking for Lucia for more than a month without success, he went to the
bar alone, got very drunk, and finally Su Yuncheng went over to send him home.That was the first time he had known August for so many years, to see him so calm.
After that, in the following years, August didn't drink much except for socializing.
And now, he started drinking again, obviously because of something in his heart, and it just so
happened that Lucia came back recently...
So, the probability was high that it was because of that woman.
Joshua's face became a little more serious.
He changed from the unruly and casual look he had on just now, and said with a straight face, "August,
don't get close to that woman.
Five years ago, because of her, you paid such a big price, Now even if she comes back, you shouldn't
have anything to do with her anymore."
When August heard the words, his face was cold, He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine bottle
and poured a glass of wine into the glass, without saying anything.
Joshua, who was on the side, looked at him like this and became a little anxious, "August, I don't
understand, what's so good about that woman?! You tried so hard to save her five years ago and she
made you suffer so much, is it not enough? And she has her own family now, do you still want to..."
Joshua was saying.
Before Joshua finished speaking, August suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him sharply.
"How do you know?" He asked.
Not only did he know that Lucia had returned to Austos, but he also knew so well about her family...Joshua paused and reacted suddenly.He took a deep breath and slowly tightened his hand holding the
wine glass, but did not speak.
novelbinAugust frowned and asked again coldly, "How do you know about her?"
Joshua knew that he couldn't hide it, so he put down the cup, sighed softly, patted his forehead, and
said in a low voice, "I checked on her yesterday." He paused and looked up at August.
"It was Jeanne that went to check," he added.
Hearing this name, August's face instantly turned cold, he took a deep breath, and a faint uneasiness
appeared in his heart.
Why did Jeanne check on Lucia? Even if he didn't say it, he could probably guess.
"From now on, without my permission, don't reveal Lucia's news to anyone!" Augustus said to Joshua.
Dropping these words in a cold voice, he stood up directly and strode out.
Joshua raised his eyes and looked at the back of August who left angrily, his face slowly turning cold.
What kind of magic does Lucia have to be able to fascinate August like this? As his brother, he must
not watch August fall into this.
Leaving Gordon's Lounge, August got into the car and instructed Burton, "Go to Fountain Mansion."
Hearing this address, Burton was slightly startled, and soon, without saying anything, he started the car
and went to Fountain Mansion.
Fountain Mansion was August and Jeanne's matrimonial home, but he basically went back to his villa
every night, and he only stayed at Fountain Mansion for two days, in the middle of the month and at the
end of the month.But this time August suddenly said that he wanted to go to the mansion, which surprised Burton.
The black car shuttled through the night, and more than 40 minutes later, the car stopped in front of
Fountain Mansion.
August stepped out of the car, instructed Burton a few words, and walked into the door.
Just walking to the door, the busy maid in the living room was startled when she saw August, and
hurriedly greeted him.
"Sir, you're back!" She said gleefully.
August nodded slightly and glanced around, but did not see Jeanne's figure, and asked, "Where is
Jeanne?"
"The wife, she is upstairs in the bedroom, do you want me to go up..." the maid was asking when
Augustus interrupted her.
August raised his hand.
"No need," he replied abruptly.
After speaking, he took a step, went up the stairs, and walked directly to the master bedroom. He
walked to the door and pushed the door open casually, and he heard a conversation coming from
inside.
"Mom, just tell Dad.Doesn't he know the owner of that magazine..."
Jeanne hadn't finished speaking when she heard the door slamming.Her face sank, and she
immediately turned her head to ask coldly, "Who told you to come in without knocking?"The words were only halfway through.
When she saw the person standing at the door, she was dumbfounded.
"August, why are you...?"
She started to ask in confusion.
August raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face turned cold.
"Otherwise who do you think it is?" He asked with suspicion.
"No..."
Jeanne said and hung up the phone in a panic.She immediately got up and walked towards him.
"I thought it was some ignorant servant who broke in..." She said to Augustus.
"Is this how you usually deal with your subordinates?" He asked Jeanne in a low voice.
The plain and indifferent sentence made Jeanne feel cold behind her back inexplicably.
She took a deep breath and shook her head.
"Of course not, I was on the phone with my mother just now..." Jeanne replied.
She smiled innocently at August, stepped forward, reached out to hold August's arm, and raised her
head intimately.
"Why did you suddenly come back today?" She asked.
August slowly pulled his arms out of her arms, took off his coat, walked to the sofa next to him, and sat
down."It's nothing, I just want to see what you've been doing recently" he replied.
"I'm just going shopping with my little sister, taking a yoga class or one thing or another. It's quite
boring..." Jeanne replied.
She walked to August and sat down.
Seeing him raise his hand and press his eyebrows, she immediately asked, "August, what's the
matter? Are you too tired from work?"
August hummed indifferently.
Jeanne was overjoyed when she saw this.
She quickly got up and went around behind August, and graciously helped him massage his temples.
"It's hard work, I'll rub it off you," she said.
Seeing that August did not refuse, Jeanne was a little surprised.
She perceived the faint smell of alcohol on the man, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
It was rare that he took the initiative to come back to the mansion at this time, and he also drank
alcohol.
This was a golden opportunity for her!
