Chapter 1415
The commotion attracted the people's attention, and Lucy panicked. She was also
afraid that Edward would find out about her appearance at the party. “It’s okay. I’m
fine.”
She then ran out of the venue.
The waiter called to her, but she did not look back.
Hector seemed to have heard Lucy’s voice, so he turned his head to look, only to see a
familiar figure sprinting away.
And only the waiter was left behind, cleaning up the mess.
Lucy ran to the bathroom and cleaned the wine stains on her dress with water, but the
more she washed it, the dirtier it became.
She felt extremely aggrieved all of a sudden and wanted to cry.
At that moment, the phone in her clutch rang.
She took the phone out, and it was a call from Hector. She hesitated for a few seconds
before answering.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHector asked where she was.
She picked up the clutch, left the bathroom, and ran to Hector, who came out to find her in the corridor.
Hector turned his head and slowly put down the phone as his gaze was fixed on Lucy’s wine-stained dress.
Lucy subconsciously hid the bag behind her. Although she was a little aggrieved and felt sad, she forced a smile.
“I’m sorry, I accidentally stained my dress, so I don’t think I’ll be going in already.”
Hector approached her, saw her slightly bloodshot eyes, and slowly opened his pursed lips. “It’s okay. I’ll bring you
in and do something about it.”
As he said that, he grabbed her wrist and was about to take her away. But she jerked his hand gently and did not
even budge. “Forget it.”
Hector turned to look at her.
She lowered her head. “I’m not used to such occasions anyway, and my stepfather is there. I don’t really want him
to see me.”
Hector asked her, “Are you afraid of him?”
‘Afraid? Not really...’
Seeing that she did not say anything, Hector tightened his grip and dragged her away abruptly.
Lucy followed behind him in astonishment.
Hector took her to the dressing room, picked up a pair of scissors, and walked toward her. Before Lucy could react,
the hem of the dress had been cut off.
Lucy was dumbfounded. “Hector!”
Hector squatted in front of her. “Wine stains can’t be washed off. They can only be covered with some accessories
or decorations. So, do forgive my recklessness.”
Lucy was stunned.
Hector cut off some fabric from the dress, walked aside, folded it into a pattern, and took a few needles and thread
out of a box.
He then sewed the fabric that had been turned into a pattern on the area that was stained by wine, and the pattern
covered the wine stains perfectly.
Lucy glanced at him in a daze. “You can even do this...”
He responded with a hum. “I only learned some tricks from my lecturer to deal with such embarrassing situations.”
Lucy lowered her head and smiled. “Thankyou.”
“Why are you still so polite when you’re around me?” Hector raised his head, and the
two exchanged gazes.
Lucy froze in place. Her heart was racing at that moment—it was so intense that it felt
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike it was thumping against the interior of her chest cavity.
Hector stared at her face and moved his lips slightly. Just as he was about to say
something, Lucy picked up the bag abruptly and shoved it in front of him. “This is for
you!”
He was stunned for a split second, and his gaze landed on the bag. He then grabbed
the bag from her and took out the gift box in the bag. It was a robot figurine.
Hector’s Adam’s apple rolled. “Did you... purposely buy me a gift?”
“I’d be too embarrassed to come empty-handed. I don’t know what you like, but I saw
that you have a few of these in your house, so I think you should like this.” Lucy
clasped her interlocked fingers and lowered her head.
Hector chuckled and looked up at her. “Thank you. I like it very much.”
Lucy heaved a sigh of relief, and her eyes narrowed into two arches. “I’m glad to hear
that.”
Hector put his hand on her side and approached her. “ But there’s no need to spend so
much money on me in the future. This must be expensive, isn’t it?”
She looked away instantly and smiled. “It’s nothing, I can always make more money, so
it’s fine.”
He raised his hand to rub the top of her head and chuckled. “You silly.”
