Chapter 2824: Chapter 14: He Didn’t Wear Clothes Last Night?

Ben Lucas’s cold, dark eyes held a trace of confused intoxication and satisfaction the moment they opened.

But the next moment, as the cold air in the room swept in and blew away those emotions that seemed unwelcome just a moment ago.

His deep, dark eyes became even colder and sharper.

This was his room.

The man’s strong, powerful arm propped up his upper body as he sat up, taking only three seconds to completely grasp the situation in the room.

The sunlight outside the window was brighter than it had been in recent days, indicating that it was now past six o’clock.

He, who always maintained a disciplined routine, had unusually woken up an hour later than usual.

And his room was very cold, with no heating on, clearly due to his oversight after returning home last night.

Or, was it Harrison Lucas’s oversight?

For some reason, thinking that Harrison Lucas wasn’t by his side when he was drunk, Ben Lucas’s sharp, angular brows furrowed even more.

When he’s drunk, he tends to expose a slight vulnerability that no one, not even his parents, knows about.

And the only one who protects this secret for him is Harrison Lucas, his most trusted right-hand man.

But clearly, last night, Harrison Lucas failed in his duty.

He never condones subordinates who neglect their duties, not even Harrison Lucas, who has been with him since childhood; Ben Lucas silently made a note against him in his heart.

The man lifted the blanket and got out of bed, his broad and sturdy chest muscles and sharply defined eight-pack abs, along with... an important area between his long, strong legs, barely visible.

Even someone as composed and stern as Ben Lucas felt a momentary stiffness the instant he lifted the blanket and got out of bed.

He...he didn’t wear clothes last night?

Ben Lucas wasn’t in the habit of sleeping naked; at least, he would wear underwear on the lower half.

But now, facing the spirited young Ben Lucas first thing in the morning in such sincere honesty was unsettling for the man who usually kept his emotions hidden.

Compared to just now, Ben Lucas’s expression became even more dour and gloomy.

Last night was truly a terrible one.

With such thoughts, Ben Lucas could no longer bear to inspect the condition of the bed.

Naturally, he missed the slightly messy creases that could only be discerned upon careful examination on the sheet that appeared somewhat tidy at first glance.

...

Ben Lucas swiftly put on his military uniform and went downstairs for breakfast after washing up.

At the staircase landing, when the nanny Auntie greeted him, he slightly frowned and coldly said, "Change the sheets."

Nanny Auntie: "Which room’s sheets?"

As it was quite rare for her to enter the eldest young master’s room unless it was absolutely necessary or Miss Lucas couldn’t move something on her own, the nanny habitually assumed Ben Lucas wasn’t referring to his own sheets, but to another room’s.

Ben Lucas’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "My room’s...last night’s sheets were uncomfortable to sleep on, don’t wash them, just throw them away."

After speaking, the man descended the stairs with a handsome, stern face and a chill aura.

It left the nanny Auntie puzzled, thinking: Something’s not right, the Major General’s room sheets were just changed the day before yesterday by Miss Lucas. They weren’t new sheets but were ones cleaned and freshened before.

...

Even though puzzled, the nanny Auntie still efficiently went to change the bed linens.

Meanwhile, when Ben Lucas arrived at the restaurant, the guards who had taken him home yesterday, Jared Holbrook and Franklin Miller, were already waiting inside.

And the short-statured Chester Lucas was bringing a bowl of steaming, fragrant porridge to the table.
