Will You Fall In Love With Me Again

Even the men who witnessed the scene earlier knew what Angelia’s move meant.

There was an evident tension in the air that would send shivers to anyone who felt it.

In addition, all of Bruce’s friends knew that Lucy liked Bruce a lot. After all, they also had been friends with her for years. So, to ease the tension a little and comfort her, they offered some suggestions.

“Hey, Lucy. How about we help you carry Jack to your car?” one of them said.

Lucy turned to them. “Sure,” she replied. “You may continue your little party here. It seems like you’re having a blast.”

“We’ll make sure to invite you next time,” another one replied jokingly. “And you look so pretty! Damn!”

Lucy laughed. “Bye!” she said and trailed behind the men who carried Jack.

Angelia pursed her lips. It was apparent that Lucy was already familiar with Bruce’s friends. Well, who could even forget a face as beautiful as Lucy’s?

The difference between Lucy and Angelia was that Bruce’s friends seemed to have grown fond and comfortable around Lucy. There was a familiarity with the way they acted around her. And this made Angelia feel uneasy.

Not to mention, Bruce deliberately called Lucy a “babe.” He might be drunk, but Angelia still couldn’t help but feel hurt.

Angelia paused for a moment.

‘Still… A pretty face doesn’t guarantee you everything. In the end, Bruce chose me over her.’

Right after Lucy drove Jack home, she received a call from Sherry. The woman informed her about a party at some rich women’s club tomorrow, and she wanted her to come with Bruce.

The scandal about Bruce rejecting Lucy’s proposal still haunted Sherry now. She hoped that someday, she would be able to hold her head high and face the people again after all the embarrassment they got from the scandal.

Seeing Bruce act sweet and caring around Lucy gave Sherry a new perspective. She thought that perhaps Bruce had already matured this time.

At the same time, Lucy also seemed happy and comfortable with her boyfriend’s behavior, so it seemed that there was no problem on her part.

On the other hand, Lucy was unsure if Bruce would be willing to come to such an event.

So, the next morning, she decided to call Bruce.

Bruce didn’t answer her calls until after a few rings. When he finally picked up, a soft feminine voice entered Lucy’s ears.

“Uhm, Bruce is still in the shower.”

Lucy paused for a moment. Then, she finally decided to tell Angelia the reason why she called.

“Sorry, Miss Glen. Bruce and I are supposed to go skiing today,” Angelia said after a while.

Lucy raised her eyebrow. The agreement that she and Bruce had was clear. They need to do some things to please their families.

“I think you should ask Bruce first,” she calmly said.

“Bruce has already said I can also decide on his behalf,” Angelia retorted. Her tone was gentle, but Lucy still sensed her dismay.

Lucy didn’t push the matter anymore. In the end, she showed up at the party alone.

Sherry saw her niece at the entrance. Her face looked pale, and she didn’t see any trace of Bruce.

“Lucy,” Sherry met her halfway.

Lucy smiled at her. She was wearing a designer dress and a limited-edition necklace. She looked very sophisticated and elegant.

She handed the gift to Sherry and said, “Bruce is busy at the company with Uncle. It’s an important project, so he couldn’t leave there. He says he’s sorry.”

Sherry’s shoulders relaxed as she let out a sigh of relief.

Sherry was satisfied with Bruce’s excuse. It showed that he was taking the project with the Glen family seriously. Most importantly, his gift cost millions of dollars, showing how much he valued Lucy’s family.

The other women couldn’t stand Sherry’s blatant joy with Bruce’s gift. However, they still complimented Lucy, saying she was lucky to have such a generous and thoughtful boyfriend.

Sherry let out a sad smile. “Lucy’s parents passed away when she was still a child. Bruce came into her life to make up for all the mishaps she had suffered. I saw how Bruce changed because of Lucy, and he was willing to do anything for her. This girl is one lucky woman. I want to know she catches men like that.”

The women listening mentally scoffed upon hearing Sherry’s speech.

Lucy touched her aunt’s arm. “I’m starving. Shall we eat out dinner?”

Unlike her aunt, Lucy was a humble woman with good character. She was respectful and polite to others. Not to mention gorgeous. That was why these rich women liked her very much.

Despite her remarkable personality, most of them didn’t think of Lucy as a potential wife for their sons. Lucy had no parents, and the Glen family was facing a major crisis. The worse thing was that Lucy was not directly part of the family. So, she basically had nothing to do with their company.

Of course, the scandal between Bruce and Lucy wouldn’t be forgotten. No one would want their sons to become Lucy’s fallback after being dumped by Bruce.

Lucy was aware of all of these. After the scandal, she rarely dated other guys. She became wary of guys that might take advantage of her.

Halfway through the meal, Lucy volunteered to pay the bill. She took care of everything and made sure that everyone was having fun. The party ended very well thanks to her.

Satisfied and happy, Sherry asked Lucy to go shopping with her. Inside the car, Sherry wouldn’t shut up about Bruce and their relationship.

“You should handle your boyfriend well, Lucy. He’s so clingy and too smitten. You can control him a little bit, you know? Your position in the Glen family would definitely improve. Imagine the jealousy on people’s faces once that happens,” she said.

Lucy gave her a fake smile. She kept thinking about how long she needed to pretend in front of everyone, especially her aunt. Bruce was such a good actor, so her aunt was pretty convinced that they were getting on very well.

In the end, she stayed quiet and let her aunt say whatever she wanted.

Lucy thought that things would end well today, but she was wrong.

As soon as they entered a shoe store, the first people they ran into were Bruce and Angelia.

Unaware of their presence, Bruce kneeled in front of Angelia and gently held her slender snow-white ankle. There was a small bruise on her feet, probably caused by her skiing shoes.

Bruce leaned near her ear and muttered something. Angelia instantly blushed and gently slapped his arm. Then, she bent down and kissed his cheek.

Lucy froze on her spot, not knowing what to do. However, Sherry had already seen everything. Livid, she walked past her niece and slapped Angelia.

Everything happened so fast that no one stopped her.

Bruce quickly hid Angelia behind him. He coldly looked at Sherry, very different from the way he had behaved toward her before. Then, he turned to Angelia and checked her face.

“Are you okay? Does it sting?”

Angelia’s eyes blurred with tears. “I’m okay,” she said.

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Bruce worriedly said as he scanned her flushed face.

“No, I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt,” she said before smiling reluctantly.

Sherry was extremely furious. Her shoulders constantly moved as she breathed.

“You, bastard!” she yelled. “How dare you cheat on my niece?!”

Bruce thought he and Lucy could continue their pretend relationship for a long time. But now that Sherry had already seen them, he decided to reveal the truth.

“Why? Should I feel sorry for her?” he mocked.

Sherry’s eyes glistened with anger. “You’ve wasted my niece’s time! Everybody knows that you have fucked her several times, thanks to you! Now, who would ever want Lucy? No one!”
