Chapter 362Chapter 362 Allergic to Strawberry Lucia was stunned.
She looked up at August and widened her eyes.
How will this work? The teacher asked for a family photo.
But August...
Lucia couldn't make a decision.
Paul was not here, and the kids needed to send the photos to the teacher in time.
Timothy looked at the time.
"Mom, before it's too late!"
Lucia took a deep breath.
She looked at August, and, after encouraging herself, said, "Well...
let's take a picture."
August was smiling brightly.
He asked, "What photo?"
Lucia hurriedly said, "It's nothing..."
Timothy cut in anxiously, "Our teacher asked us to take a picture of our family when we go out and play.
It's homework."Hearing this, August repeated the kid's words, "Family?"
He didn't dislike the word.
Lucia flushed and said, "It's not what you think."
Hearing her words, August silently smiled.
He stood up and let the kids stand before him and Lucia.
He then reached out his long arm to take her phone.
After setting into selfie mode, he clicked the shutter button.
In the photo, the kids were smiling brightly.
August also showed a rare gentle expression.
Only Lucia seemed to be at a loss, looking dumbfounded but lovely.
August looked at the photo and beamed with satisfaction.
He then sent the photo to his phone and handed the phone back to the kids.
"It's done."
"Yeah.
We can hand in homework now!"
Happily, Timothy sent the photo to their teacher.
"Okay! Done!"When he handed the phone back to Lucia, the teacher had already replied.
The teacher texted, [What a loving family!] Lucia was even more dumbfounded now, and was rendered
speechless.
All of them are so fast! She turned around and found August put both his hands on both the kids.
They were looking at the scenery outside the window, and they themselves made a beautiful scenery.
Lucia had a strange feeling in her heart.
If those things never happened and she kept being together with August, she and August must be a
happy couple with the lovely kids.
Suddenly, the box shook slightly, and brought Lucia back to reality abruptly.
She couldn't help wondering why she had such thoughts? She patted her cheeks to calm herself down.
At this moment, they had finished a round.
She stood up and led the kids out of the box.
It was hot this day.
Near noon, the sun was even more dazzling.
August found the kids keep sweating and said to Lucia, "Let's find a place to rest.
It's almost lunchtime."
Lucia also found that the kids were tired.
She nodded."Okay."
There was a specialty restaurant not far away.
They went in and found a vacant table.
After they sat down, a waiter brought them menu.
They ordered several dishes as well as two kids' set meals.
Lucia took out wet tissue from her bag and wiped the kids’ hands clean.
Soon, the wet tissue turned from its original white into black.
Lucia took the opportunity to educate them, "See the dirt on your hands? Do remember to wash or
wipe your hands before every meal, okay?"
Janet nodded as she watched Lucia wiping her hands and then putting away the unused wet tissues.
The little girl turned to August and then to her mother, and said hesitantly, "Mom, you hadn't wiped
Uncle Charming'’s hands yet."
Lucia was stunned numb by her daughter's words.
She looked up and found the man also looking at her.
She was at a loss for words.
Janet took a sip of the juice that had been served just now, and echoed his sister, "Yes, yes.
Mom, didnt you tell us that everyone needs to clean his hand before meals?"
August smirked.Intentionally or not, he reached out his hands in front of Lucia and said smilingly, "Help me, please."
Lucia's face turned pale as she was in such a dilemma.
She didn't know whether she should help him or not.
After all, she had taught the kids a minute ago.
If she refused, she would be swallowing her own words.
She took a breath and extracted a wet tissue from her bag.
She had intended to muddle through, but, unexpectedly, her wrists were grabbed as soon as she put
the tissue on the man's hand.
She was startled.
In her fluster, she looked up and met the man's black eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"What...
what are you doing?"
How could he do this in front of Timothy and Janet? She wanted to shake off his grip.
Unexpectedly again, he took the tissue from her hand and wiped her wrist for her.
She didn't find the dirt on her wrist until then.
August wiped her hands clean quickly, and then he said, "Don't forget your own hands next time."Lucia froze with shock.
Her heart was pounding so fast, and, before she knew it, she had blushed.
Janet nodded and echoed, "Yes, Uncle Charming is right."
Lucia was so flustered.
Fortunately, the waiter happened to come serving dishes at this moment, which helped her cover her
embarrassment and panic.
She lost all her appetite for the dishes.
But August, on the contrary, seemed to be easy and composed.
He not only ate a lot, but also took good care of the kids.
When the dishes were to be finished, Janet kept looking aside.
Lucia patted her little head and reminded, "Focus on your meal, babe."
Janet looked up and fixed her innocent big eyes on her mother.
She said softly and cutely, "Mom, I also wanna strawberry cake."
Lucia looked aside and found a child sitting on the table besides them was eating strawberry cake.
She shook her head to Janet and wiped the girl's mouth with a tissue.
"No.
You can't eat strawberry.novelbinLast time you had strawberry, red spots covered your body.
They were so itchy.
Do you remember?"
Hearing this, Janet said pitifully, "But mom, I just want a bite."
Lucia pretended to be angry and said with a dark face.
"No, you're allergic to strawberry.
You can't eat it."
August, who was sitting opposite Lucia, was shocked by Lucia's words.
He unwittingly held the water glass with more strength.
Janet should be allergic to strawberry! He was also allergic to strawberry when he was a boy, but he
recovered when he got older.
He didn't expect...
Something tugged August's heartstrings.
Doubts flooded his mind, making him feel somehow hard to breathe.
Would my guesses be correct? He looked up at Janet and Timothy and had a complex feeling.
At this moment, worried footsteps approached.
Then, a male voice sounded."Lucia!"
Lucia was shocked by the voice.
She looked back and found Paul walking towards her.
"Paul?"
Lucia felt flustered.
She hurriedly stood up and watched him approaching them fast.
Paul walked to the table, looked at the kids, and finally landed his gaze on August.
August seemed composed.
He didn't feel awkward or panic at all.
He even smiled at Paul.
"Mr.Tomas, we meet again."
Fire of rage was burning violently in Paul's heart.
His hands clenched tight, and veins on his arms stood out.
His patience had been worn out when he saw them dining together.
