she was used to something luxurious. Lora was looking forward to the date they were going on. Lucas had taken her to a place she'd never been before, and it had been excellent.Now, it made her heart feel like it was going to explode because it was a place she didn't expect them to go.A hotel.It left Lora speechless and at a loss for what to say from her mouth. "What would he do in a hotel?" she asked, squeezing his hand. "I know that we're engaged. But isn't it too soon...?" she bit her own lip.Her heart felt like it would explode with every step she took. She watched Lucas, who still looked as he always did—too calm and didn't seem too tense to do anything with himself.Lora exhaled from her mouth. "Does he not really want to do it with me? Or is he used to doing this?" she bit her lip when her mind thought of that.Lora unknowingly let her disappointment show. It was evident on her face that the person walking beside her noticed. "Are you not feeling well, Lora?"Lora was surpri
she was busy paying attention to the bracelet she was wearing. A big smile appeared on her face. They walked back after they bought the bracelet that Lora had admired earlier."How come you have so little cash, Lucas?" she wondered. Rich people preferred to use easy things for their transactions, and carrying cash was often overlooked.Tiny denominations of cash like the one Lucas had."I asked you out here. Of course, I've prepared everything." Lucas' answer made Lora instantly speechless. It was true, according to Lucas, that this man was always full of calculations and preparations.His friends also said so. Lora was even more amazed by this extraordinary man.Now, her eyes caught something exciting and something she had just encountered. With a raised hand, she spoke. "What is it, Lucas? They catch fish with nets?" Lora sounded so excited when she said that. She even stepped her foot right over to it.Smiling, she looked in more detail at the fishing she saw earlier. When she look
Tonight was a lovely date for her. And it was going to end soon, so they were heading towards their car, parked quite far away from where they were now.Lora wasn't too happy that it was ending so quickly. The pounding in her heart was still so fast that she might have trouble sleeping. But she couldn't force her will. Lucas would probably have difficulty resting. Since this man was so busy, he must have sacrificed his rest time for her. That alone should make her feel grateful.On this long, quiet road, their footsteps suddenly stopped, immediately making Lora wary. Things like this had happened several times. Although she didn't appear in her own image, she was still beautiful. Lora didn't doubt that her beauty attracted the attention of others.The four men before them clarified that they were village boys and shouldn't behave like this because Lucas knew the village's rules. They had to keep everyone here safe and comfortable.But no matter how the rules were made, others would op
many luxurious flower petals were in front of it, covering the floor. The decorations in this room seemed very romantic, and the perfume was delicate. This place had obviously been prepared very well. Lora immediately looked at Lucas, her eyes wide with disbelief. She had gotten into this situation when she didn't want to overthink, and she was naturally confused about what to do. She didn't want to embarrass him, but it was obvious that this man was thinking the same thing she had before. "Lucas..." she called his name slowly and looked at him. The man was already behind her, gently touching her back. Now, he whispered softly in her ear. "Why? Don't you want to do it with me?" That statement clarified that this man wanted them to do something serious. It was inevitable, and she had been looking forward to this anyway, so she shook her head. Lucas held her hand gently. The warmth felt so soothing to her. They walked on the soft flower-petal floor. Lora's heart was beating f
she was wearing new clothes and now with her own make-up. Last night had made her so tired the fire had been delightful. She couldn't look Lucas straight in the eye because of this."Is anyone sick?" Lucas approached her, asking a question that shocked Lora.Lora's heart almost jumped because of that. She also almost screamed; if she did, it would make her very embarrassed in front of this man. She tried to control herself immediately."ah, nothing. I'm fine." She chuckled so stiffly.In fact, she and Lucas had done it so many times that she felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. But she couldn't admit that she was now exhausted because she saw that Lucas seemed fine.She walked with a red face and slight discomfort in her body. But Lucas held her hand suddenly, which surprised Lora.Once they were in the car, Lora was still surprised by what happened, so she looked at Lucas. "Lora, thank you for going out with me."Lora was unable to say anything out of her mouth. Anyone would obv
The worry washed over her like a flood, even though she knew Lucas was a great guy. Not having him there could be a big danger, and she knew that Leona liked Lucas. He was especially concerned about the ethics of that woman who didn't want to lose to Lora; she would do anything, even to make her fiancé. So he had been walking around in his room with a very uncomfortable feeling. "Lucas, are you seriously going to go alone?" Lora wanted him to go with her servant. She had met Chris a few times and knew about him from her father. He was a wonderful man and would certainly be a great help to Lucas. I don't know how many times Lora exhaled. She rubbed her forehead, feeling depressed. "Yes. I know what I'm doing, Lora." At that moment, Lucas was putting a pen in his suit pocket. He straightened the suit he was wearing. Chris was there preparing everything for him. This place was perfect for a show before they showed up at the giant party. Lora plopped herself down on the sofa. S
The two men were silent momentarily at their honored guest's words. They laughed afterward. "You're very good at saying something funny, Mr. Lucas." Ricky tried to relax himself by assuming this was a joke. But Lucas didn't react. He told the two people that what he had just said was true. And a few seconds later, they were silent."Mr. Lucas, what is my daughter Leona lacking? She's so kind and wonderful." He started to become more blunt when he said it. He slightly pushed his daughter's back so Leona could do something to get him a positive outlook."I can do anything, and you can count on me if you want to do something, Mr. Lucas." She was a little nervous when she said it while holding her chest. She explained while worrying that it wasn't enough and her father would blame her.Leona spoke again. It had come to this point, so she had to say everything on her mind. "Mr. Lucas, I'm in love with you. We are meant to be together, Mr. Lucas." She advanced but stopped moving immediatel
Leona looked at her father with her head hurting so much. She really didn't know what her father meant. She felt so uneasy about this."Dad, what do you mean?"Ricky leaned closer, gripping his daughter's shoulders so tightly that it hurt Leona. "There are many people who hate and want the Carter family destroyed!" Leona looked into her father's eyes, eyes that were consumed by anger. Those eyes were so greedy, and they looked like a terrifying monster.She was terrified but couldn't say anything out of her mouth. "We will work with them to eliminate the Carter family."That statement instantly made Leona feel like her father had gone crazy. "Dad! That's so dangerous. You don't have to do that!" Instead of listening to Leona's words, Ricky scared her even more. Her father could really put them all in danger. And his father was now holding her hand tightly, giving her a look entirely of foul intent that made her body unable to move.He has looked down on our family, so he should be re
