Chapter 10 Lucy's House
"…Is this your home? Lucy?" Noel asked hesitantly at the place in front of him that was almost the size of a small town.
"Well, yes." Lucy nodded without hesitation. "What's wrong? Nor."
Noel scratched his cheeks, with a slight surprise in his tone. "Although I have heard of it, I always can't imagine that Lucy is a young lady when she looks like Lucy."
"Hey," Lucy asked curiously, "what is I in Noel's eyes?"
Noel touched his chin and smiled and said, "Well, how do you say it, Lucy gives people the image of a little girl next door, not the rich lady who is tall and above."
"Little girl next door..." Lucy poked her chin with her fingers, "Indeed, compared to me, Noel's temperament and words give me a feeling more like a person who came out of an ancient noble family."
After hearing Lucy's words, Noel paused slightly.
"What's wrong, Noel?" asked Lucy, who noticed Noel's abnormality.
"No, nothing." Noel shook his head, said nothing more, and then took another step.
Chatting with each other, Noel and Lucy soon arrived at the center of the yard, in front of an exquisite mansion.
"Mrs. Spite." Lucy, who walked to the mansion, saw a woman in her thirties, short, purple-haired, dressed in a maid's servant cleaning the road.
The waitress who heard the call raised her head and when she saw Lucy, her body trembled slightly, and tears even came out of the corners of her eyes. "Miss Lucy!" With Mrs. Spite's shout, many people rushed over and gathered beside Lucy.
"It's so good that you're okay, I...I..." Mrs. Spite said as she held Lucy in her arms.
"I'm so sorry for you." Lucy replied apologetically.
"Miss, this is a new book from the East..."
"Miss is in her prime, and she will elope once or twice, right?"
"I... didn't expect to see the lady again..."
Noel looked at Lucy who was surrounded in the center with a smile. With his knowledge, it was naturally obvious that these people were sincerely happy for Lucy's return, which was a kind of care and love from the bottom of their hearts, not any artificial performance. Because of this, Noel was also happy for Lucy in his heart.
"Miss, is this a son-in-law? He is such a handsome man." A maid suddenly found Noel on the side, and screamed in surprise as if he had discovered something new.
"What!" Everyone noticed Noel's existence at this time. In Noel's shocked gaze, these people left Lucy without hesitation and surrounded him.
"Ahhh. The son-in-law is so handsome. The lady has such a good look!"
"Son-in-law, what's your name? Who are you from..."
Surrounded by Noel, looking at the people who were burning gossip fires behind one after another, and constantly making problems like a cannon in their mouths, a drop of cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. He looked at Lucy. Obviously, Lucy seemed to be frightened by the situation in front of him and fell into a daze. It seemed that he would not expect Lucy to relieve himself in a short period of time. When Noel was in a dilemma, a voice relieved him.
"Miss, the master asked me to convey you, he is waiting for you in the study of the mansion." A waitress who came out of the house suddenly said to Lucy.
Lucy and the others also returned to normal because of this sentence. They did not continue to worry about Noel's problem, which made Noel breathe a little relieved and directly chose to flash people before the others came. After all, Noel's worst attitude is this overly enthusiastic scene.
———————————————————————————
"By the way, I... seem to be lost." Noel, who had been swaying in the mansion for ten minutes, finally confirmed the fact that he had lost his way in this big house. After all, it was his first time here and there was no one to guide him, so it was normal to get lost? Noel thought in his heart that he had forgotten that he could get rid of this situation by asking for directions with the maid or housekeeper in the mansion. Of course, it was actually because of the scene he had just encountered that he subconsciously forgot that he had forgotten this method.
Noel, who was walking in the mansion at will, chose the easiest and direct way in his opinion, to open all the passers-by doors so that he could find Lucy and his father.
But...Nower obviously forgot that in some cases, some doors cannot be opened casually, otherwise they will encounter some embarrassing situations, such as the scene in front of him - fair skin like mutton fat, yellow hair that stretches out shoulders, slender legs exposed to the air, dazzling whiteness on his chest almost makes people unable to look away, and he was holding a red evening dress in his hand, as if he was about to put it on, but his beautiful face was now in a dull expression.
Time seemed to pause at this moment. Noel's mouth twitched and looked at the naked body, who was about to change into clothes... Lucy. Looking at the other party's astonished gaze, Noel was wise and chose to close the door at high speed the next moment.
"Sorry, I'm rude." Noel outside the door heard a voice of embarrassment and embarrassment into Lucy's ears. Lucy, who made her thinking stagnate, reacted. He was actually seen by Noel! Covering his face, which was blushing and bleeding, Lucy's heart was suddenly in chaos.
—————————————————————————————
Noel rubbed his temple weakly and continued walking around. The scene just now had a bit of a big impact on him. After all, no matter who saw that scene without any preparation, he would be stunned.
(However, then again, Lucy seems to be more sized than Elusa and Mira... Well, what am I thinking.) Noel patted his cheek and tried to eliminate all the random thoughts in his mind.
Before he knew it, Noel had already walked to a room on the second floor. Noel, who was struggling, subconsciously opened the door again. After the door was opened, the first thing that caught his eyes was a hard-faced middle-aged man sitting behind an office desk.
"Uh... Hello." Noel greeted the middle-aged man awkwardly. After all, he came in without even knocking on the door, which was indeed a rude thing.
"Sit." The middle-aged man did not mind Noel's rudeness, but said to Noel coldly.
