Chapter 1169 Difficult to Conceal Emotions

The bouquet was still destroyed and thrown away as usual, but Lucia had kept a few cards, which were now lying on her desk. One of them was from Padma Monpa's book "See Me Or Not," with one line sent to her every day. Today's card had the final line, "Silent love, quiet joy." Lucia looked at the jumbled cards with furrowed brows and clenched and unclenched her hands on the desk. Jacob used to like pretending to be a literary type, and this was his favorite poem to recite. It used to sound so deep in emotion back then, but now... She grabbed the last card and crushed it in her palm before letting it fall onto the table. Her once bright eyes were now filled with complex emotions that she couldn't put into words. Just as Lucia was lost in thought, the office door suddenly opened, startling her. She looked up to see Arthur talking with Gracie outside before coming inside himself. Panicking, she quickly swept all of the cards into a drawer just as her heart began racing uncontrollably.
