Married to the Boss: A Love in Disguise

Chapter 271

If Lucas truly wanted to be with Lumma, he would make time to see her even when busy.

He had mentioned returning on the 11th a couple of days ago, but when she asked if they could meet on that day, he didn’t give a direct answer.

And tomorrow was the 11th.

Would Lucas come back to Red Pine City?

Would Lucas send her a message?

Lumma scrolled through her chat history with Lucas, contemplating whether to ask him directly if he would be returning tomorrow. She typed out the message, ready to send, but then hesitated and deleted it, one letter at a time.

This time, she vowed not to reach out to him first!

After making her decision, Lumma finally opened the new message she had received. To her surprise, it was a note explaining a sentence she couldn’t quite grasp. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Judy. “Judy, you’re amazing! You even know the interpretation of this ancient phrase.”

Judy instinctively glanced at Adam, catching his subtle hint. She had to take credit for herself. “Oh, I happened to have read this book.”

“Well, could you explain the meaning of this sentence to me?” Lumma leaned closer to Judy, pointing at the sentence in the book that she struggled to comprehend. “I find it difficult to fully grasp the essence of this ancient text.”

“Well…” Judy scratched her head anxiously. Not only did she struggle to understand the sentence, but she also couldn’t recognize seven out of the eight ancient characters.

Luckily, Judy reacted quickly. “Lumma, when I read this before, Adam tutored me. Adam knows. this book really well. Why don’t you have him explain it?”

“Mr. Hills?” Lunma shook her head repeatedly. “Forget it.”

Lumma firmly believed that Adam, being the head of Hills Group, wouldn’t waste his time explaining things to her, a mere assistant. If she dared to approach Adam and he showed disinterest, it would be an embarrassing situation for her.

“Are you talking about me?” Adam suddenly spoke up, startling Lumma. She turned to find Adam sitting nearby, flipping through a book-a historical tome that Lumma particularly enjoyed.

Lumma chuckled awkwardly. “Mr. Hills, you’re here too.”

Adam gazed at her. “Didn’t you realize I had arrived?”

“Apologies, I was completely engrossed in my reading and failed to notice,” Lumma replied. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Adam’s expression darkened slightly, and he turned his attention to Judy. “Have you forgotten what I taught you?”

Judy hesitated.

When did Adam teach her anything?

She had merely made a careless remark. Surely Adam didn’t take it seriously, right?

Adam maintained a serious demeanor as he looked at Judy. “Come on, tell me, what did you forget?”

Judy hadn’t even read that book. “Adam, I haven’t actually read it at all…” Before she could finish her sentence, she caught Adam’s stern gaze and swiftly corrected herself. “Adam, I’ve forgotten everything

you taught me.”

“Take a seat, and I’ll teach you once more,” Adam said.
