Chapter 497 Hypocrity and Scoundrel
Cecilia frowned and thought to herself, 'What does he mean by always fearing he's not doing well enough? Why does he worry like that? Aren't we doing fine together? Why does it feel like he's scared of letting me down?'
She turned to look at Alaric.
Alaric's deep eyes were locked onto hers.
Their eyes met.
Cecilia could see the deep affection in Alaric's eyes.
She asked, "Alaric, why are you so good to me?"
More than half a year ago, they had a car accident. Wasn't that when they started to know and interact with each other?
Cecilia wondered, 'Why does Alaric love me so deeply?'
The confusion in her eyes was clear to Alaric, but he didn't offer any explanation.
A kiss covered all the emotions.
Cecilia thought, 'This life is probably destined to be with Alaric.'
As soon as they got back, they received a call from Genevieve, implying that Alaric had returned and she hadn't even brought him home.
Cecilia realized she hadn't been back for a while, so she asked Alaric and decided to go to the Lockhart Villa for lunch.
Just as they were about to leave, Emily stood in the hall, cautiously asking, "Can I go with you? I want to..."
Her voice was timid and hesitant.
She was afraid of being rejected.
Cecilia took a deep breath.
She had to admit, Emily wasn't very dangerous but extremely annoying.
Her presence could infinitely irritate people.
Cecilia said, "Okay."
She agreed because she had no other choice.
Otherwise, Emily would look aggrieved and tell Arabella that they left her alone at home, and she didn't want to be slandered.
Emily heard Cecilia agree and smiled brightly, looking very innocent.
Even George couldn't help but sigh.
If Emily weren't so hypocritical, she would actually be quite likable.
Cecilia and Alaric took Emily to the Lockhart Villa.
By the time they arrived, it was past 12.
A sumptuous lunch had already been prepared on the dining table.
When Cecilia saw Juliana, her expression changed slightly.
Juliana was actually at her house.
She hadn't been back for so long, what had happened at home?
Genevieve could see Cecilia's thoughts at a glance and calmly explained, "Juliana comes back often to see your grandmother when she has time."
Cecilia smiled slightly.
'Juliana is indeed clever; she knows exactly who to please at this moment for maximum benefit.'
And now that Ophelia had lost Andrew and Isadora, if Juliana showed goodwill, she would be pampered a bit.
Cecilia remained calm.
At that moment, Genevieve changed the topic and said to Emily, "Is this Alaric's sister?"
"Hello." Emily was very well-behaved.
Genevieve was very enthusiastic. "It's rare to have you here, come and eat."
"Thank you, Genevieve." Emily seemed a bit shy and involuntarily held onto Alaric's arm.
Cecilia was visibly displeased.
And at that moment, she saw Juliana, who also seemed a bit displeased.
Cecilia suddenly thought a hypocritical person versus an annoying person.
She suddenly felt like there was going to be a good show!
