That night, Lucy Ansley didn't feel anything unusual when she got home.
As usual, after freshening up, she went to the study to find Henry Ronan.
The two snuggled for a while and only went to sleep close to eleven at night.
The next day, Thomas Chapman came to pick up Henry Ronan, and happened to see Lucy Ansley leaving with him.
At that moment, Thomas didn't know what came over him; he jumped out of the driver's seat and eagerly reached out to Lucy, "Ma'am, your backpack looks heavy, right? Let me help."
Lucy Ansley: "?"
Before she could react, Thomas had already taken her backpack.
Walking behind them on the steps, Henry Ronan pursed his lips as he watched this scene, a faint crease forming on his brow.
Lucy witnessed Thomas putting her backpack in the front passenger seat, even dusting off some imagined dirt, and stood aside with a silly grin after closing the car door.
This unusual behavior made Lucy hesitant to move forward.
