Joshua walked over and sat down beside him, his eyes subconsciously wandered toward the red
wine swept on the table, and his eyes suddenly straightened
He stretched out his hand and picked up the wine bottle
"Why how did you open this bottle of wineâ* Joshua asked
August heard the sound of his voice, raised his eyes slightly, and glanced at him, without saying a
word
Joshua howled
âDo you know how much effort I spent to get this bottle of wineâ" I have so many years of it in a
series, why did you choose this particular
oneâ He asked Augustus with an upset tone
Augustus silently turned a deaf ear, picked up the wine glass unhurriedly, shook it gently, and took
another sip
Joshua looked at him as he did this, and couldn't say anything
âAugust, you ' He muttered angrily
August raised his eyes and interrupted him softly.
"It's just a bottle of wine,â he said
Joshua was so angry that he stretched out his finger and pointed at him repeatedly and finally
looked at the bottle of red wine that had been half drunk, and couldnt talk anymore
âForget it," He said and slumped down on the sofa next to him.
âWho messed with you againâ Every time you re unhappy, my wine will sufferâ He asked Augustus
August was silent, his face was cold, and he refused to say a word
Joshua stretched out his hand, picked up a goblet from the side, poured half a glass for himself,
then looked at August and murmured.
âCould it be because of Lucia I heard she came back
Hearing this name, Augusts face suddenly sank a little, and he picked up the wine glass and drank
the remaining liquid directly
Joshua clicked his tongue twice
'It seems that it s because of her," he said
Augustus put the wine glass on the table with a bang, looked up at him, and sneered
Because of herâ How is that possibleâ He asked
Joshua raised his eyebrows
âThen tell me, who made you do thisâ He asked
If others didn't understand him, did Joshua also not understand himâ
August had always been calm and self-controlled, and would never drink booze for any reason The
last time this happened was five years ago
At that time, after he had been looking for Lucia for more than a month without success, he went to
the bar alone, got very drunk, and
finally Su Yuncheng went over to send him home
That was the first time he had known August for so many years, to see him so calm
After that, in the following years, August didnt drink much except for socializing
And now, he started drinking again, obviously because of something in his heart, and it just so
happened that Lucia came back recently
So. the probability was high that it was because of that woman
Joshuas tace became a little more serious
He changed from the unruly and casual look he had on just now. and said with a straight face,
âAugust, dont get close to that woman Five years ago, because of her. you paid such a big price,
Now even if she comes back, you shouldnt have anything to do with her anymore When August
heard the words, his face was cold,
He stretched out his hand to pick up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine into the glass,
without saying anything
Joshua, who was on the side, looked at him like this and became a little anxious,
âAugust. I don't understand, what's so good about that woman?! You tried so hard to save her five
years ago and she made you suffer so
much, is it not enoughâ And she has her own family now, do you still want to ! Joshua was saying
Before Joshua finished speaking. August suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him sharply
âHow do you knowâ He asked
Not only did he know that Lucia had returned to Austos, but he also knew so well about her family
Joshua paused and reacted suddenly
He took a deep breath and slowly tightened his hand holding the wine glass, but did not speak
August frowned and asked again coldly, âHow do you know about her"
Joshua knew that he couldnt hide it, so he put down the cup, sighed softly, patled his forehead, and
said in a low voice, I checked on her
yesterday*
He paused and looked up at August
âIt was Jeanne that went to check,â he added
Hearing this name, August s face instantly turned cold, he took a deep breath, and a faint
uneasiness appeared in his heart
Why did Jeanne check on Luciaâ Even if he didrit say it, he could probably guess
From now on, without my permission, dorit reveal Lucias news to anyone" Augustus said to Joshua
Dropping these words in a cold voice, he stood up directly and strode out
Joshua raised his eyes and looked at the back of August who left angrily, his face slowly turning cold
What kind of magic does Lucia have to be able to fascinate August like thisâ,
As his brother, he must not watch August fall into this.
Leaving Gordon s Lounge, August got into the car and instructed Burton, Go to Fountain Mansion."
Hearing this address. Burton was slightly startled, and soon, without saying anything, he started the
car and went to Fountain Mansion
Fountain Mansion was August and Jeanne's matrimonial home, but he basically went back to his
villa every night, and he only stayed at
Fountain Mansion for two days, in the middle of the month and at the end of the month
But this time August suddenly said that he wanted to go to the mansion, which surprised Burton
The black car shuttled through the night, and more than 40 minutes later, the car stopped in front
of Fountain Mansion
August stepped out of the car, instructed Burton a few words, and walked into the door
Just walking to the door, the busy maid in the living toom was startled when she saw August, and
hurriedly greeted him
Sir, you re back! She said gleefully
August nodded slightly and glanced around, but did not see Jeannes figure, and asked, "Where is
Jeanne"
"The wife, she is upstairs in the bedroom, do you want me to go up the maid was asking when
Augustus interrupted her
August raised his hand
"No need," he replied abruptly
After speaking, he took a step, went up the stairs, and walked directly to the master bedroom
He walked to the door and pushed the door open casually, and he heard a conversation coming
from inside
"Mom, just tell Dad Doesnt he know the owner of that magazine .
Jeanne hadrit finished speaking when she heard the door slamming
Her face sank, and she immediately turned her head to ask coldly, "Who told you to come in
without knockingâ"
The words were only halfway through When she saw the person standing at the door, she was
dumbfounded
"August, why are you 7" She started to ask in confusion
August raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face turned cold
"Otherwise who do you think it is?" He asked with suspicion
No Jeanne said and hung up the phone in a panic
She immediately got Up and walked towards him
thought was some ignorant servant who broke inâ She sad to Augustus
s this how you usually deal with your suborainatesâ⢠He asked Jeanne in a low voice
The plain and indifferent sentence made Jeanne feel cold behind her back Inexplicably She took a deep breath and shock her hed
Of course not, I was on the phone with my mother ust now * Jeanne replied
She smiled innocently at August, stepped forward, reached out to hold August s arm, and raised her head intimately
A"Y did you etsadmy com back todayâ She asked T

She walked to August and sat down Seeing hm raise is hand and press his eyebrows, she immediately sked. AUGUSt, Wht, he

Augus hummed indifferently
leanne was overjoyed when she saw this
She quickly got up and went around benind August, and graciously helped him massage his temples

Secing that Augusi did not refuse, Jeanne was a tie surprised She perceived th fant smell of alcohol on the man, and a thought
suddenly fashed in her ming
