My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess

Chapter 53

Madam Collins could only nod. “Okay.”

Soon, the tailor finished taking Lucille’s measurements and said with a smile, “Your waist is so slim,

Mrs. Collins. No matter what kind of dress you wear, you’ll look absolutely beautiful!”

Madam Collins nodded. There was affection in her tone as she agreed, “That’s only natural!”

After the tailor left, everyone moved to the dining room for lunch.

Lucille glanced around and noticed that they were the only ones at the table. The other elders of the

Collins family were all absent.

Madam Collins even took the time to explain. “The others can’t leave the company right now, but they

will definitely attend the engagement party.”

Lucille was about to nod when a set of cutlery appeared in front of her and a piece of pork rib was

placed in her bowl.

Joseph looked at her. With a chuckle, he said, “Why don’t you have a try?”

Madam Collins, who was sitting at the head of the table, pretended to be drinking soup, but she was

actually observing their movements discreetly.

Lucille’s expression did not change. She picked up a piece of mushroom and placed it into Joseph’s

bowl. She smiled and stated, “You, too.”

The sound of a maid gasping could be heard.

Joseph was extremely picky. He never ate mushrooms, and he didn’t like it when other people touched

his food…

She had done just that. There was a high chance that Lucille would get kicked out.

The maids were frightened. However, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Not only was

Joseph not disgusted, he even slowly chewed the food.

It was mind-boggling.

The maids weren’t the only ones stunned. Even Madam Collins’ hands, which were holding a bowl of

soup, began trembling slightly.

How interesting!

She was going to see a great-grandchild in no time at all.

After lunch, Madam Collins asked Joseph to bring Lucille around to familiarize herself with the manor.

Joseph agreed.

When he and Lucille stepped out of the main hall, Madam Collins gave instructions to the maids. “Go

and tidy up the rooms upstairs, especially Josh’s bedroom!”

The housekeeper, Madam Louisa, instantly understood what Madam Collins meant. She snickered and

asked, “Madam Collins, do you mean that…”

There was no need to say the rest. They both understood each other.

“I’ll get to it right away,” Madam Louisa stated.

She rushed upstairs with the other maids.

Meanwhile, in the courtyard outside…

Lucille looked at the plants and trees around the Collins Manor, as well as the subtle yet luxurious NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

courtyard. She recalled how the Jules family looked during its glory days in Dilsburg.

At the time, the Jules family was almost on par with the Collins family right then.

Her grandfather was well-versed in both the arts and fighting. Not only could he cure diseases and

save people, but also slaughter enemies on the battlefield. Her grandmother was a master of science

and technology and had made countless contributions. Her father was the God of War in Dilsburg and

had made

outstanding contributions, Her mother was a famous actress and had made great achievements.

After that, however…

Her grandparents died in a car accident; her father was accused of treason and beheaded, her mother

died while trying to protect Lucille.

The Jules family collapsed just like that.

Their past glory was gone, and all that was left was bloody hatred.

Lucille held onto the wooden railings beside the pavilion. Her fingertips were all white because of how

hard she was clenching her fist.

Suddenly, she heard someone say, “Be careful!”

Lucille quickly withdrew her hand, but she did not notice that there was a loose wooden board under

her feet, causing her to slip and fall down unexpectedly. Fortunately, a pair of hands reached out to

hold her firmly.

However, in that position, she was being held in Joseph’s arms.

Holding hands was no big deal earlier since they were just acting. Right then, on the other hand, they

were directly holding each other, and there was no gap between them at all…

Lucille was about to push him away when she heard his voice from above her head. “Don’t move.

There’s someone watching us not far away.”
