It’s Love That Blinds Him – Chapter 63

When the morning sunlight crept into the room through the curtains, Malcolm had already woken up. Looking at Lucia, who was still sleeping, he kissed her on the forehead, then got up and left. Soon after, Lucia also opened her eyes. She could still feel the faint warmth of his lips on her forehead. Staring at the door he had left through earlier, she slipped into deep thought.

After coming home from the party that night, Lucia hadn’t asked Malcolm anything about it, even though women’s intuition had told her that there was a story between him and Renee. Lucia had just remained silent, choosing to forget the disturbing look of this woman.

Malcolm’s hatred for Renée had been short-lived. After that, he had treated her with a distant indifference that would make anyone think the past was just an illusion that never happened.

The man just glanced at him before sitting down naturally, as if the seat belonged to him. Lucia looked around and saw that all the other tables were occupied, as it was peak coffee time. In this town, people didn’t like sharing a table with a stranger. Therefore, for over a week now, she and the man in front of her had fallen into a silent agreement to share thi
