Chapter 1335: Chapter 1334: Mutual Benefit, Mutual Respect, and an Awkward Emotion

She said she wanted Liam Coldwell to accompany her, and these words stabbed him with a dull pain in his heart, leaving it bloody.

A twinge of pain filled his heart involuntarily, and he felt like he was on the verge of suffocating.

However, he didn’t immediately put Eva Nightingale down, nor did he lash out at her. Instead, he held her and walked straight to the Bugatti Veyron parked outside the mall, stuffing her into the passenger seat, then slapped her on the hip with his large hand.

There was not a hint of ambiguity in his actions, only punishment.

But Eva Nightingale felt the places he touched her skin turn scalding hot!!

Acting as if nothing had happened, he leaned over to fasten her seatbelt, closed the car door, walked around the front of the car, and got into the driver’s seat.

He started the car and drove off.

At the scene, the staff and Harry North’s bodyguards froze momentarily, staring in the direction where the sports car had disappeared!

*

The plan was to return home after a prenatal checkup, but unexpectedly, during the process, the two of them had a small quarrel.

Eva didn’t know where he intended to drive them.

She vaguely remembered that in the past, whenever he drove, he would entwine his fingers with hers tightly!

Even though she hadn’t said a word tonight, she knew he was indeed angry because the entire car was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Soon, they stopped in front of a Sichuan restaurant. He parked and said, "Get out." Then he got out, opened the passenger door, and said, "This place is nice; you should like it."

The restaurant was comparable to a hotel, with an incredibly large storefront.

Eva just glanced at it, then looked away and got out of the car!

The two of them walked into the restaurant together, attracting a lot of attention. Perhaps he feared that they would be surrounded and photographed, since those people didn’t get to see President Lucas Knight every day. So... he might have been afraid she’d get pushed around in the crowd and simply grabbed her wrist.

Eva was stunned for a moment. Looking down, she saw her hand grasped tightly!

It was as if he was reluctant to let go!

Only when they reached the second floor VIP room did he finally let go of her hand, and then acted as if nothing had happened.

...

After eating, they came out of the restaurant several hours later.

Back at home, the two little ones were already asleep.

As usual, little Lily was sleeping in Eva Nightingale’s big bed, while someone else watched his wife, then looked at his daughter. Uhm... could he end up sleeping on the sofa again tonight?

Their contractual relationship was mutually beneficial and respectful, so whenever Eva Nightingale was uncomfortable, she would have him sleep on the sofa, and tonight he originally planned to have a good talk with her. Who knew that little Lily would be sleeping on her bed?

So... how could he deal with his "wife"?

He leaned down, and one side of the bed sank under his weight. He looked deeply into little Lily’s eyes for a moment before finally picking her up and heading toward the door.

...

As soon as Eva Nightingale walked into the room, she headed directly to the bathroom and came out after taking a shower.

Only then did she realize in surprise—what about little Lily!

Wasn’t little Lily just sleeping on her bed? Where did she go?

Just as she was surprised, the door opened and Lucas Knight walked in, lying on the bed without a word, with no intention of leaving.

Hey, what does he think he’s doing?

"You... uhm..."

Before she could say anything, Lucas Knight wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace: "Don’t talk, just sleep like this."

Eva Nightingale: "..."

His body was so warm!

She couldn’t break free, so she might as well enjoy being in his arms this way.

Noticing the woman in his arms sleeping, he lowered his gaze and saw that, sure enough, she was asleep, completely at ease.
