Chapter 2870: Chapter 60: Day Four (11)

The cold water extinguished the restless feeling within Ben Lucas’s body, a feeling he shouldn’t have.

He leaned his hand against the wall, bowed his head, letting the icy water erode his body in this cold winter.

If the water was not cold enough, not chilly enough, he feared he would be controlled by that damn impulse inside.

Something he never thought about before was broken through because of the Boys’ Love novel he had just seen for the first time.

It was like opening the door to a new world, seeing another realm.

No, that’s not right...

Ben Lucas couldn’t possibly like men; although he had never liked any woman, it didn’t mean he liked men.

Ben Lucas knew he wasn’t gay; he had never had feelings for any man or felt differently.

Not even Harrison Lucas was an exception.

In the bathroom, letting the cold water wash over him, Ben Lucas finally repressed the heat throughout his body.

Just earlier, the restlessness made him break into a thin sweat even in the middle of winter. The man, who always liked cleanliness, directly pressed the body wash beside him and spread it on his body.

The scent of soap from the body wash permeates the bathroom.

This was Ben’s usual body wash, with the most basic soap fragrance and no other unnecessary scents.

But now, he suddenly felt this scent was somewhat faint.

The man frowned, picked up the body wash, and looked at it front and back, unconsciously recalling the slightly sweet-scented shower gel he mistakenly used a few days ago.

Remembering that it was his own order to have Harrison replace that body wash, he showed impatience and disdain.

Ben’s face grew increasingly unpleasant.

He didn’t like the scent on his body; he quickly washed it off, wrapped his lower body with a bath towel, and went out.

After changing into clean and comfortable clothes, the man’s mood was still very complex.

He couldn’t help but take out the cigarette box that hadn’t been touched for a long time, drew one out, and lit it between his slender fingers.

He absolutely didn’t have that kind of feeling for Harrison.

No... it can’t be...

He already had a properly matched fiancée, which was the marriage eagerly anticipated by the Lucas family and Wellington family.

Molly was adorable, although he didn’t have deeper feelings for her, as long as he married her, he would take on the responsibilities of a husband.

Most importantly, he didn’t want to disappoint his mother.

Ben could fail everyone in the world but not his own mother.

The love he lacked since childhood, the love he had painstakingly recovered, he would never let her down.

One cigarette was smoked, then another, and unknowingly, the ashtray was filled with cigarette butts.

Finally...

When a box of cigarettes was finished, the turbulent black pupils of Ben Lucas finally settled into calm.

Regarding Harrison, he’s not indispensable to him.

Harrison was just an ordinary subordinate.

...

Before dinner time approached, Ben descended the stairs with a solemn face.

His expression was even colder than earlier, the icy black pupils almost devoid of warmth.

"Major General!" However, as soon as he descended the stairs, he ran into Harrison eagerly waiting at the turn on the second floor.

Harrison seemed to have been waiting there, waiting for him to come down.

Seeing the youth’s clear, bright black eyes gazing up at him, Ben’s gaze sank heavily.

"What are you doing here?" Ben asked coldly, though his voice was hoarse.

Harrison stood at the corner of the stairs, looking up at him, his entire face seemed to be filled with indescribable radiance and excitement.

"Major General... that... that... the cake in the fridge, the strawberry cream cake, did you buy it?"

She found the ’secret’ in the fridge while tidying up the kitchen.

Harrison knew the eldest young master doesn’t eat sweets, so she wondered—

Was the whole big cake bought by the eldest young master for her!?
