Chapitre 122: Offer

"I'll take it." Said Lucy as she snapped out of her thoughts.

Desmond's eyes narrowed. "If all you wanted was to have Zaria and I help you find a place to live, you could have simply said so."

She smiled gently as she turned to look at him. "Would you? I mean, you find me to be a nuisance."

He paused slightly. Why did her tone sound a little hurt?

"Besides, it's not the process but the result that matters." She spoke again, yet another of her annoying statements. "You can leave, son-in-law. I can complete the purchase on my own." She shooed him off, even though she had already completed all the formalities.

Her words made him change his mind about finding her pitiful. So what if she felt hurt that Zaria was indifferent? Served her right for humiliating his Zaria. He was yet to start blaming her for not being a mother when she was needed most, she should be thankful for that.
