My Destined Lover

“You have an excellent imagination.” Laura laughed. “What you said does make sense. But those words you should go talk to Lucy, not come to me. After all, you can tell Lucy to stay away from me, but…” The slow tone of voice suddenly became loud and clear when the last sentence was uttered, “You have no right to intervene my business.”

Seeing Laura’s insistence, Eric gnashed his teeth, “Don’t think there’s nothing I can do about you. If you insist on clinging to her, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson…”

Laura stopped talking and looked around. After a moment, her eyes finally rested on the half cup of drink, which she had left at the front desk before going into the bathroom.

“Mr. James, please move over.”

Eric instantly turned red and became irritated, “You…”

“Laura? Uncle?” She had come out to look for Laura but saw a familiar figure beside her. “Uncle, why are you here? Laura, come here!”

Lucy yanked Laura over and tucked her behind herself — a clear gesture of protection.

She looked at Eric unhappily, “Uncle, were you just picking on Laura?”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Eric pulled a long face.

“I didn’t…”

Lucy didn’t give him a chance to say anything, and interrupted him, “Don’t quibble, I heard what you just said to Laura!”

“Uncle!” Lucy intensified her tone, “I respect you as my uncle. I’ve said in public before that anyone who bullies Laura is equal to think nothing of me. If you really respect me…”
