Contrary to what Lucy was feeling, Theodore was ecstatic.
He did not expect to be so lucky as to encounter Lucy in the garden. Looking at her face which bore a striking resemblance to his own, Theodore could not help but feel a sense of anticipation. Perhaps she was truly his long- lost sister whom he had never met before! It was their first tmeeting, so he had to leave a good impression. He had already slighted her before, so he had better think it through before acting this time.

Anyone would be startled if they saw their doppelganger. Not to mention, Lucy had been encountering a lot of strange people recently, so it was natural for her to turn and walk away. Thankfully, Theodore realized what was happening, so he quickly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. "Miss, wait a minute." Lucy's eyes twitched, and a bad feeling crept up to her.
Apart from the strange man with white hair, no other person had initiated a conversation with her out of the blue.
Lucy was in despair. Could this be weirdo no. 2? Lucy forcefully freed her wrist from Theodore's grasp. "Sir, what do you want from me?" She rubbed her wrist and forced a smile.
Theodore was annoyed at himself after he realized that he had slighted her again. Why did he always becso irrational when he was around her? He straightened his posture and spoke in a polite tone, returning to a demeanor befitting a prince. "Miss, I apologize for my rudeness. However, I do have a very important matter to discuss with you that I cannot say in detail here.
"Would you be willing to accompanyto a nearby establishment where we can have a proper talk?" The more he spoke, the more suspicious Lucy was. However, based on her past experiences, she knew that bad people would not give up until they had achieved what they wanted.
Lucy peeked at Theodore's face and sighed. She decided to go with the flow and follow him to see what this was all about.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she had agreed to go with him, she still retained scontrol over the situation by choosing the location herself. She pointed to a café in the distance. "Shall we go to that café over there?" Lucy made a good choice. The café was located in a busy area near her guest house, so it was not too far from where she stayed. There was a high volof foot traffic, so in case weirdo no. 2 had any ill intentions, he would not dare do anything suspicious with so many people around.
Theodore did not show any objection to Lucy's suggestion. In fact, į min fact, it did not even cross his mind that Lucy chose a crowded café on purpose as a precaution against him.
He was just happy that she was willing to talk to him. Theodore m readily agreed to her suggestion and F said, "Alright, let's go to that café, then. After you."
He made a gentlemanly gesture for Lucy to walk ahead. Lucy nodded, feeling slightly less wary of himm Since he agreed so easily, he En probably did not harbor any ill intentions. Perhaps this person genuinely had something to discuss with her. X
