The two of them were left breathless, and if it were not because of Lucas’ self-control, who knew how
much further they were willing to go.
Yasmeen didn’t even realize that she was already lying in bed and it must be because Lucas had
carried her here. At this moment, she was lying in bed with Lucas, and she felt like everything was too
surreal.
She suddenly pinched Lucas hard.
Lucas frowned slightly and said, “What’s wrong with you?”
“I just want to check that I’m not dreaming.”
Yasmeen was grinning ear to ear and her eyes had turned into crescent moons. There was a certain
sultry sweetness in her voice too.
Lucas’s lips curled up imperceptibly but he replied, “Shouldn’t you pinch yourself if you want to be sure
that you’re not dreaming?”
“It’s painful!”
So?
He should be the one shouldering every pain?
As expected of Yasmeen!
Lucas put her arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling. His thoughts must be wandering.
Yasmeen didn’t hear any retort from him which made her freeze a little. She turned her head and saw
the bloody marks on Lucas’ face, and although the blood had coagulated, she didn’t notice those scars
at all because they had been too busy kissing madly.
“Let me call the doctor to tend to your injuries.”
Yasmeen hastily got up but Lucas interjected, “No matter the reason you’re here now, you can never
bring this up again from now on, and you should stop thinking about it. You were never here, and you
were always with Edison.”
Lucas’ words made Yasmeen felt like tearing up, and she even wanted to reveal the reason she had
gone to that place. In the end, she held back from doing that.
“Let me call the doctor.”
“Alright.”
Yasmeen began walking away, but she felt her steps getting heavier.
When she was at the door, Lucas suddenly said, “Yasmeen.”
“What?”
She turned around and saw that Lucas was propping up his chin with a hand, and he was looking at
her with dazzling, mischievous eyes, “Be my girlfriend. You can’t be that irresponsible after doing that
to me just now. I am a deaf person, and I might get expelled from the military too. It seems like I don’t
know my path from now on, so if you abandon me, I will be all alone.”
Yasmeen suddenly felt her heart jolt up.
What was he doing?
Was he trying to pretend to be pitiful to gain her sympathy?
All for her to promise him to be his girlfriend?
He clearly knew that it was what she wanted the most. He was only doing this to make her feel better.
Yasmeen suddenly felt her eyes shrouded in warmth.
“You’re the one who kissed me first!”
“What about me taking responsibility for you, hmm?”
“Get lost!”
Yasmeen cursed at him and ran away after that. However, there was a faint curve at her lips, and the
moment her tears dropped, she felt like her heart was exploding in joy. Fireworks were crackling in the
air.
It was beautiful, magnificent and with a trace of sweetness.
Lucas was smiling too, and he touched his lips by using his long fingers. That tender, soft sensation
almost made him lose control of his desires.
Alas!
He never wanted things to develop so rapidly!
However, when Penny wanted to force him into a marriage, he was genuinely anxious.
As for the reason, Lucas didn’t actually know. He just felt very uneasy.
When Edison arrived, he saw Lucas lying in bed with scars all over his face. He couldn’t help but frown.
“Boss, did you get scratched by the little boss?”
He said little boss to refer to Yasmeen.
No choice, ever since he was young, he always got chased around and got beaten by Yasmeen.
Edison was really scared of her, so he always referred to her as the little boss.
Lucas put away his smile and answered, “No.”
“How’s your ear?”
Edison pulled a chair and sat down in front of Lucas.
Lucas shook his head and replied, “I should be fine. The doctor examined me and said that it is just
side-effects from the concussions. I can recover in seven days at most. Is there any new orders from
the military?”
“No, Mr. Morty has covered up this incident.”
Edison’s words startled Lucas.
“What did you say?”
“Mr. Morty has covered up this thing. There isn’t even news on television or any media. He is keeping it
confidential for outsiders, and he will provide an explanation soon. From what Michele said, Mr. Morty
plans to make a settlement with Penny and her family.”
Lucas immediately understood.
“Mr. Morty wants to protect me?”
“Shouldn’t that be a given? From the days you were a child, Mr. Morty always sees you as his future
son-in-law. He dotes on you greatly and you never failed before this. This time was your only mistake,
so there is no way Mr. Morty would let you take off your army gear just because of that. You don’t need
to worry about it.”
Edison was afraid that Lucas couldn’t read his lips fast enough, so he deliberately slowed down while
speaking.
Yasmeen who was going to push the door open heard what Edison had said, and she couldn’t help but
stop in her tracks.
He was right.
Mr. Morty always cared and loved Lucas and it was public knowledge. The same thing could be said
about Michele’s love for him.
Yasmeen suddenly regretted.
A while ago, when Lucas proposed for her to be his girlfriend, she should just agree to him
immediately. Why did she have to say “get lost”?
Could it be that she wanted to push Lucas into Michele’s way?
No way!
If Penny had said that she wanted Lucas to marry her, Yasmeen would feel uneasy and worried. What
if Mr .Morty used this incident and made sure Lucas and Michele could be together? Yasmeen would
be infuriated.
It had been so many years. She didn’t want to push the man she cherished so much and give him
freely to Michele.
When she thought of that, Yasmeen pushed the door and barged in.
“Lucas!”
She actually forgot that Lucas couldn’t hear her, but she had an impressive aura when she appeared,
as if she was a warrior who was carrying a three-meter long blade. Edison was so shocked that he
cursed and jumped up from his chair.
“Little boss, what are you doing?”
Yasmeen ignored him and fished out his phone. She turned on the recording application and aimed the
lenses at Lucas. She asked him seriously, “Lucas, be my boyfriend!”
Seeing that Yasmeen was so majestic and confident, a smile formed on Lucas’ lips.
This girl must be feeling the heat, no?
Or else, why was her hand shaking?
For some unknown reason, Lucas felt like teasing her.
He looked at Yasmeen and said warily, “I can’t hear you. My ear is faulty, I’m sorry.”
This bastard must be doing this on purpose!
Yasmeen’s eyes were burning with rage.
He couldn’t hear her?
Good!
This was good!
Was he going to eat his own words now?
“Lucas, are you going to run away now after gobbling me up so cleanly?”
With a spitting sound, Edison suddenly spat out some saliva.
“Gob … Gobbling her up? Boss, did you really…”
Edison’s words made Lucas blush a little.
“What nonsense are you saying?”
“Hey, is your hearing returning? Lucas, I will see whether you dare to say that you won’t be my
boyfriend today.”
Yasmeen was so imposing that it felt like they were back to their childhood days. She was even more
domineering now.
Edison suddenly felt like this would be great news, and he took a step back and sat down on a chair.
He wanted to see how this would develop.
Lucas’ brows knitted tightly together.
What was this crazy woman going to do?
Before Lucas could say anything, Yasmeen revealed a devilish smile.
“You bastard, if you dare to say no to me today, I will make you unable to walk again on this bed. Do
you think I won’t do that? We are at the hospital now, so emergency measures will always be in time.”
After she said that, not only Edison, even Lucas felt like his saliva was catching in his throat. He began
to cough profusely.
