Chapter 53: A Proposal

Joseph picked up Tangna and kissed her on the cheek. "Don't worry. Once I'm done here, I'll come find you. In the meantime, you and your mother take good care of yourselves, okay?" Joseph said, gently stroking her hair. "Tangna, be a good girl! I'll wait for you to grow up!" With that, Joseph turned to leave. His departure had a purpose. After all, he had discussed marriage with Lucy, and it was not going to be an ordinary wedding. Joseph had to give Lucy a grand wedding! And before the wedding, the proposal was also very important. Joseph had already decided to propose today. Because time was tight and the task was urgent, he couldn't go home with them. Moreover, Joseph wasn't the type to show affection publicly. Especially since Lucy's father, Simpson, had not yet fully secured his position as the family head! He had his own matters to deal with carefully. Joseph couldn't do as he pleased like he used to; he had to be more cautious now. After saying "goodbye" to everyone, Joseph left. He had made many preparations in his mind. After settling the engagement, marriage, and proposal, he had one more important task. He needed to go to Florida. To find that traitor who sold him out years ago! After seeing Lucy and the others get into the car to go home, Joseph called his subordinates. "Alright, Azazel, you can come over now." Hearing this, Azazel and his team obediently came over. Actually, Joseph had never revealed his identity to Lucy this time. It wasn't for any other reason but to ensure Lucy's safety. Secondly, he was afraid that if the foreign organizations he had previously dealt with knew he was back, they might cause trouble abroad again! If that happened, it would be a loss for Joseph. But now, those issues were in the past. He could now openly stay with his beloved girl. Joseph got into a car. The car headed in another direction. At the same time, Lucy was in the car, looking out the window. She knew many eyes were on her, hoping her father would become the new head of the Lucy family. But she didn't care much about that. Her only concern was Tangna by her side. "Is everything you said true? Are we really going home now? Mommy, will daddy come with us too?" Tangna asked excitedly. "Of course, we need to go back quickly." "Did you explain everything to daddy?" "I did. Daddy is just solving a problem and will join us soon. He said for you to be a good girl." Hearing this, Tangna smiled. "I've wanted to go home for a long time! I want to go home with mommy! But I also wanted to go home with daddy!" Lucy smiled at Tangna's words. "Be a good girl, we'll all be together soon." Meanwhile, Joseph found Azazel and went to an estate. "Report, Reaper, we've located the person you mentioned. However, due to the distance, should we go now or tomorrow?" Joseph looked at the numerous stretch limousines and his tailored suit prepared. He waved his hand calmly. "Let's handle the current matter first. Let's go propose to Lucy." He got into the front limousine, followed by others in more limousines. The sight of hundreds of limousines on the road stunned the people of San Francisco. "When have we ever seen such a thing?" "Oh my god, who could be in those cars?" "It must be a wealthy family! Is there a celebrity inside?" "How much does it cost! What are they doing?" Joseph was unaware of the attention he was drawing. Or rather, he didn't care at all. His mind was occupied with the upcoming wedding with Lucy. "Hope everything goes smoothly..." Meanwhile, Lucy had arrived at the Lucy family home with Tangna. As they got out of the car, countless people came to greet them. Lucy was surprised. Though she had left, this kind of welcome was unexpected. And the number of people welcoming her seemed much more than usual? Those who previously told her to leave were now talking to her very politely. What was going on with these people? Could it be... Lucy turned to look at her father. Simpson nodded at her, his face saying: "Yes, that's right." Lucy felt a surge of joy. Her father was finally becoming the head of the family. Maybe that's why they were treating her with such respect? But the question remained. Why could her father suddenly become the head? Lucy couldn't understand it. Despite her happiness, Lucy said nothing because she didn't know what to do. After putting Tangna down, she stood still. The other servants warmly chatted with Lucy. "Miss Lucy, you haven't been back in a long time. We've missed you." "I've missed you too. How have you been? Is your health well?" "Miss Lucy, isn't your child adorable?" Hearing this, Lucy nodded. "Thank you, the child is fine, and so is everyone." The servants felt they had completed most of their task with Lucy's response. They knew their mission was to please Lucy. Perhaps pleasing Lucy would also please Joseph! Next, it was time for Lucy's father, Simpson, to act. As they talked, they walked toward the hall, with Tangna clinging to Lucy and ignoring the others, only wanting to see her mother. Seeing her daughter so attached, Lucy nodded. "Please, let me take care of my daughter first. We can talk later." "You can see my daughter is upset. I need to take her away for now."
