Robin's throat went dry now. '' Lucy, I...'' he could not find words to say to her to console her now. '' Always you do whatever you want to. Even today too, you went to get groceries right? Then where are they? I can't see anything with you. Then where did you went to and whom were you with? You wanted me to ask in your face right? Then answer. Why don't you have an answer now?'' she asked.
He paused for a moment now. Then he looks her in the eyes with a determined look. This needs to stop now. This quarrel and misunderstanding need to be stopped. They can't continue with this any longer. He's tired of all of these.
'' I was with Christina, there was an exhibition nearby so she picked me up on the way. I met up with Noir there, we chatted for a while then I came back in her car. Is there anything else that you want to ask? I don't mind saying,'' he said.
'' There's no lie in it, you can rest assure.''
She looks downwards. Then rel
It was some days after that. Lucy's grandpa had called them over to the big mansion for something. Lucy and other siblings gathered in the living room. Julia was quite offended about this. She came up to her then whispered something in her ear. '' Are you prepared to lose your way out of succession? Or are you going to divorce your husband?''Gray saw this as something strange. He was feeling weird about it. Lucy replied,'' I have made up my mind about it. I am not going to step out of the concession.'' Julia was feeling pissed off now. '' What? Do you understand what you are saying? At this rate, I will reveal everything to grandpa. You don't mind that?''.'' Yes, I know that very well. Do whatever you want to. I don't mind,'' Lucy retorted back without looking at her. Olivia herself also found it quite strange. Hughes was staring at them too.'' Luc you-''. '' What are you both whispering?'' asked a voice in front of them. It was her grandpa.
Then a man in his late sixties appears there with a file in his hands. He had grey hair along with black eyes. He had worn a bright smile on his face. '' Grandpa Burns, It's been a long time,'' says Julia hugging onto him.'' Who's this? Julia?'' asked the old man. '' Yes, it's me.'' '' Oh my, you had grown up so much. I can't even recognize you,'' says the man patting her on the head. Olivia and Gray both surround him also.Lucy stayed away from them. '' I am happy to see you, grown-up kids, again,'' comments Burns with a happy smile. '' Come on don't call us kids,'' Hughes says with a grunt.''' You are right, you are not kids,'' he says then turns to Mr Campbell. '' Master, it's been a long time. How's your health? I heard you had another heart stroke.'' '' Yes, I had managed to survive thanks to everyone. Did you brought what I had told you to?'' Mr Campbell asked Burns.He nodded. While talking he spotted Lucy there standing looking
The charity event was two days later. Lucy and the other siblings were taking care of the goods in their sections.It was the previous night. They were in the office for a late hour. They were packing the things they will be giving for the charity. Lucy was making sure that the medicines were good and proper.She stayed in the office, unlike those other siblings. She made sure that everything was a success. '' Hey take of those boxes. You will have to load them in the next morning. And preserve them in cold temperature,'' she instructs the people who were working there.She takes a seat in the chair in front of her. Then takes a look at the clock in front of her. It was over ten. She had to reach home by then, she also has to go there in the morning.'' It's tough doing this when you also have to work for office also,'' she says with a sigh. She had been feeling pretty much hu
It was in the next morning. Lucy and Robin both were done preparing for the speech. Lucy was quite nervous about it but she was more nervous about the dream she had in the morning.When she looked at the clock it was already 10:00 a.m. both of having to reach the charity venue by 11. Lucy had gotten ready in her white dress with heels. When they were about to go out of the house Robin and her something. She made a puzzled face not being able to understand what it was."What is this?" She asked staring at the paper in front of her. " This is the speech prepared by me. This will help you in your speech," Robin said with a smile.A dark shed of red appears in her cheeks. The way he was helping her heart was fluttering. After that Robin hadn't gone out with Christina that much.Even if he had gone out occasionally he always tells her where he is going. Everything was starting to change between them. Lucy is all able to trust him a lot now. He was
'' Lucy teach your husband some manner, he's becoming too cheeky day by day,'' Olivia retorts giving a disgusted look back at Robin. '' I am well mannered than you,'' Robin added. '' Will you stop embarrassing yourself in front of others Sis Olivia?'' said a voice coming after them.It was Isabella, the wife of Gray. She wore a bright smile on her face as she said that. '' Really, they don't know where they should put a stop to their quarrel,'' Gray snorted walking up to them.'' So what are you quarrelling about again?'' Gray asked them. '' No one's quarrelling it's just that clown-'' Olivia begins to say. '' He's not a clown, you can't insult him that way,'' Luc retorts stepping forward.'' No need to tell us who he is, we know what he is exactly. He's nothing more than a bug who's feeding onto us that's all,'' Isabella added with a smirk. '' Now if you are done we should head over to our seats. The guests are starting to arrive.''
'' There's nothing for both of us to do in such a short time. We should give up,'' Lucy says taking a handful of medicines in her hands. '' Give up? There's no way we can give up so easily. Didn't you promise Grandpa that you will do everything in your power to make this event a success? Then how can you give up in this crucial time?'' asked Robin.After a pause, she replied, '' Yes I did, But there's nothing for us to do in such a short time.'''' Lucy,'' he called grabbing onto her shoulders making her face him. '' Look at me, Do you want to give up or try your best to make this success. Everything is not over yet. We can keep trying till we run out of time,'' says Robin.Lucy lifts her head to meet his gaze. His eyes had the fire of determination in them. '' But...even if we try our best and fail? Isn't that waste of energy?''. '' There's nothing to waste. Even if we fail we should keep trying till we reach our goal. I have faith that we wil
?Lucy stands in front of the mic. Then looks at the crowd of people who have gathered here.Then she begins her speech, '' Everyone, I am Lucy Campbell, I very much welcome you for coming here today. I have decided to do my best to make the charity event a success. My grandpa had given me the task of handing out the medicines. I tried my best to do in my power for the sake of the patients who need medicine.'''' I hope we can hold these kinds of events every year so that the ones who are in need along with the sick ones. The children who don't have anyone to call their own, all of then will be able to feel the kindness of others and receive others help. I want to thank Mr Allen Richard also who arranged this event with us. If it was not for him then we could not have managed to do this. Please give a round of applause for him.''Mr Richard was smiling at her from his seat. '' She's giving quite a speech isn't she?'' David remarks standing beside Juli
It was Robin who arrived there in a big van. He gets off the van and runs to Lucy. '' Sorry to make you wait,'' he said caressing her face. '' You were too late. Did you managed to get what you went to look for?'' she asked with tearful eyes.'' Of course,'' he replied with a smile. '' What's the meaning of all this?'' asked Olivia stepping forward. ''What kind of a stunt is this?'' Julia snorted. '' Can you explain all of this?'' added her grandpa.'' Everyone, There's a reason behind all of this,'' Robin begins to say looking at their faces. '' And what's that?'' asked Gray with a smirk. '' The medicines that were sent from the office Lucy had checked them. All of them had expired that's why I went to get them exchanged in the nick of time,'' explained Robin.'' And how's that possible? You are speaking nonsense,'' retorted Julia. '' Why didn't you check yesterday while packing then?''. '' We somehow missed that, but I managed to get it repla
