When he saw Spencer sit back down, Gene slowly returned to his seat. He even gave Nick a high five in front of Spencer who was so angry.
Arthur! We’ll see!
There was nothing Spencer could do but to calm himself down with a silent curse.
Arthur was with the woman he loved on his shoulder and with their daughter in his arms. What just happened was nothing to him. The only the unbridled happiness at the bottom of his heart could make him savor it.
After this, the plane had been smooth in the air. Soon, light shone through the windows into the plane and it was dawn.
Although it was already morning, it was still early for the plane to land. During those eight hours, Spencer was pinned down by the four of them. He could only stare at Lucia and Arthur sitting together.
Since the flight was long and there was no breast-feeding room on the plane, the baby naturally drank only milk, but Lucia was very uncomfortable and could not use the breast pump. So, she had to endure the pain, but she wouldn’t complain to anyone about it. However, Arthur was never anyone else.
“It’s uncomfortable, and I can’t feed my baby.”
“Hold on,” Arthur said softly, reaching out to tuck a lock of Lucia’s long hair behind her ear. “We’re almost there.”
“We’ll go home together later.” Lucia didn’t seem so upset that she would soon be able to see her son, Edwin, Sophie, and the brothers of the Davies family.
Lucia didn’t know that Arthur’s heart rhythm would change when she accidentally said “go home”. She only knew that the next second, she was immersed in his gentle eyes.
Finally, as Spencer prayed for a moment to speed things up, the plane arrived safely in New Kennedy International Airport. As soon as it came to a stop, Spencer jumped out of his seat. Rushing back to his seat, he berated Arthur,
“Can you go now?!”
Arthur looked up coldly at Spencer, handed his daughter back to Lucia, got up slowly, and said to Lucia without any hesitation.
“I’ll get my things. Meet me at the end of the lounge bridge.”
“Okay.” Lucia smiled and nodded. Neither of them seemed to care much about Spencer’s presence.
“Lucia, are you completely ignoring me?!” When Arthur returned to his seat, Spencer sat down and glared at Lucia.
Lucia chuckled and didn’t look at Spencer, but her lips moved and she said in a stern voice.
“Yes, last night, I thought you were dead.”
Knowing that Lucia despised his selfishness, Spencer couldn’t help but quibble.
“Who’s not afraid to die in a crisis like that? I’m afraid, too, okay?!”
“Arthur is not afraid,” said Lucia as she turned her head. Her bright eyes were shining with determination and fervour, to tell the man who her hero was.
“To protect me and my baby, Arthur is never afraid.”
Once again, Spencer was at a loss for words, knowing that what he had done last night had truly, utterly and irrevocably made him a walking dead to Lucia. Even if something did happen to him, she would not give him humanitarian compassion.
At that thought, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness came over Spencer, and he scowled, as if he had lost something important.
But Lucia did not care. After she finished speaking, she carried the baby and stood up. Jack and the others had already come over to pack up her belongings. Without a single word, they walked towards the exit together.
It wasn’t until the flight attendant questioned Spencer that he came to his senses.
“Sir, you’re ready to get off the plane. Please take your belongings.”
Spencer perked up and realized that there was no one else in the first-class cabin except him. He cursed and quickly packed up his things to chase after them. Fortunately, Lucia and the rest did not go far. He could still catch up with them.
Looking at Spencer leaving in a hurry, the flight attendant shook her head and sighed, “There really are all kinds of people.”
But what if he can catch up? Arthur had already taken up a position beside Lucia, and Jack and the other had protected them completely. After Spencer caught up with them, he could only follow behind them in embarrassment, not even having the courage to call out to Lucia.
Spencer will get hurt, too, but he deserved it.
The Davies family’s driver was already waiting outside the airport. Lucia knew that Spencer would definitely follow her, but she still got into the same car as Arthur. Jack and the others took two cars, and the three cars seemed to have lost Spencer’s position.
With his luggage, Spencer stood by the car feeling more embarrassed than ever.
Actually, where should Spencer sit? Lucia had already made a plan for him. Jack was just teasing him on purpose. When he saw Spencer’s awkward expression, he stuck his head out and said,
“Mr. Davies, get in the car. What are you waiting for?”
Spencer looked closely and realized that there was a seat in the back seat where Jack was sitting and Victor had somehow moved to the front seat.
He knew immediately that he was being teased, and the sense of humiliation made Spencer clench his fists. Normally, he wouldn’t have accepted such an insult, but this time he was on Esmae’s mission: watch Lucia. He can’t just turn his head and walk away.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying to suppress his anger, Spencer opened the car door and got in.
As everyone was already on board, all three cars left at the same time and headed for the Davies Manor on the outskirts of town.
Nearly an hour and a half later, the cars finally made them back to the Davies Manor, but on the way, Lucia had fallen asleep and Arthur was holding the baby. Seeing the front door from a distance, he whispered to the driver to drive directly to the main house.
Spencer slept with his eyes closed the whole way until the car slowed down and he opened his eyes. By then, the car had driven through the Davies Manor’s gate, past the garden and into the main house. Spencer gritted his teeth. He had settled down and was ready to take on the whole Davies family.
The cars stopped in front of the main house. Theodore, who had been peering through the window, turned and shouted, “Grandma, Grandpa, Daddy and Mummy are home!”
For a moment, Edwin, Sophie, Otis, Bailey, and Douglas stopped what they were doing and went back into the living room.
