Chapter 2812: Chapter 2: You’re Not Allowed to Call Me Young Master Anymore

The man behind the desk glanced at the report card on the table, his already cold expression appearing even more stern.

He spoke, his voice low and icy: "This is the military compound, not the Lucas family. From now on, do not call me young master."

Ben Lucas was displeased, his tone colder than usual.

Having followed him since childhood, Chester could easily discern his mood.

’He’ hesitated with his breath, wanting to say something, but feeling the chill emanating from the man, he dared not disobey: "Yes, Ma... Major General."

While speaking, Chester lifted his gaze again, glancing quickly through his bangs before hurriedly withdrawing his sight.

Chester often stole glances at the young master like this, but due to the fear of revealing too many emotions, he usually only dared to look for a second.

At these times, ’he’ felt thankful, thankful for intentionally growing his bangs long enough to shield his eyes, preventing the young master from easily noticing.

Upon hearing Chester’s obedient yet cool voice, a hint of warmth slowly returned to Ben Lucas’s frost-covered eyes.

"You may leave now." The man’s icy voice resounded again, yet just as Chester was about to disappear by the door, he was suddenly called back: "Have Liam prepare the car; I need to go out later."

Originally not planning to leave, Ben Lucas changed his mind at the last moment.

"Young master, you..." Realizing his slip of the tongue, Chester quickly corrected himself: "Yes, Major General, I’ll go prepare it right away."

Ben Lucas’s tone was indifferent: "Not you, Liam. Chester, let Liam lead the team and follow me tonight; you stay here."

Chester: "..."

The young man suddenly lifted his gaze, his eyes shining beneath his bangs, unable to hide the shock in his heart.

’He’ had been by the young master’s side since childhood, serving as his right-hand man.

’He’ endured the days without Madam at the young master’s side, watched him reunite with his mother, and followed the young master to graduate from the strict Military Academy.

The young master was so strong and formidable, skipping grades to complete his education.

And ’he’, in pursuit of the young master, with a body that was already less than ordinary, gritted through the Royal Military Academy’s most rigorous physical fitness tests, just to be able to keep pace with the young master using his intellect in the Command System.

Chester always thought he was the person the young master trusted the most, that no matter where the young master went, he would always take him along.

But today was the first time the young master had proactively suggested he didn’t need his company.

Chester knew that perhaps he was being too sensitive, and the young master was just giving casual orders.

But at this moment, ’he’ could not deceive himself because ’he’ was not foolish; ’he’ knew the young master was annoyed with his recently frequent messages from the Lucas family, concerning Miss Molly too much.

He had been spurned by the young master.

Chester had no choice but to accept this reality.

Yet he couldn’t change anything to please the young master.

Because Miss Molly is the young master’s fiancée, as the most loyal subordinate, Chester must perfectly execute the commands most beneficial to the young master.

"Yes, Major General. I’ll go make the arrangements..."

As the sound of the military car’s engine gradually grew distant, until the vehicle was out of sight, Chester, standing at the entrance of the small building, slowly withdrew his gaze.

Despite being of noble birth, the young master never liked having too many attendants; besides his disposition, it was most importantly because the young master disliked strangers intruding into his life.

This detached house within the military compound, aside from Chester, was only guarded by two guards.
