Chapter 1457: Chapter 1456: Nighttime Visit to His Wife’s Bedroom

Because of that "date," Carla Carr didn’t come back all night; Eva Nightingale just finished her spa and went back to her room to sleep, completely unaware there was a surprise waiting for her tonight.

The so-called surprise.

Was that sentence of hers—really want Lucas Knight to hold me while I sleep—had already been delivered to his ears.

Even though he was in the Sovereign Capital, hundreds of kilometers away from City B, you could say far away in the sky, yet right before her eyes.

Carla Carr’s purpose in coming here was to help dissolve the conflict between them.

So, Carla secretly recorded her words and sent the audio to Alexander Kingsley, and Alexander then forwarded it to Lucas Knight.

"Mm... Lucas Knight, I really want you to hold me while I sleep..."

After Lucas Knight heard it, he rearranged his schedule, immediately took a flight to City B, and tracked down the hotel where she was staying.

His itinerary was just a tiny bit behind Alexander’s.

He rushed to City B, got off his private business jet, then transferred to a small helicopter that took him to the hotel rooftop.

This hotel was the most luxurious one in the whole of City B, with a helipad for small helicopters on the roof.

So Lucas Knight went straight by helicopter and landed on the hotel rooftop.

Tonight the rooftop was guarded by countless bodyguards, and because everyone knew this big shot’s identity was extraordinary, people had cleared the area around the hotel in advance, and the hotel had basically been booked out entirely.

...

Eva Nightingale had no idea she’d just been "set up" by Carla.

Because of the breakup, she barely ate anything; she just honestly didn’t have an appetite.

She fell asleep on the sofa.

Late at night, the room was so quiet that when the door was opened, she could faintly hear a series of low, steady, powerful footsteps.

For her, he’d rushed over from far away; after not seeing her for days, there was a trace of fatigue between his brows, but it did nothing to weaken his aura or his noble presence.

Eva Nightingale was actually sleeping on the sofa!

"Eva~" he called out in a very soft voice. He stood in the living room for a while, then walked over, lifted her into his arms, and carried her toward the master bedroom.

...

The next day, when Eva Nightingale woke up, she was in bed!

Did I sleepwalk last night?

Sleepwalk? She clearly remembered falling asleep on the sofa.

She had no idea when Lucas Knight had vanished, and he left without a trace, so naturally Eva didn’t realize he’d been there.

Only...

Only she was surprised to find she hadn’t had any nightmares last night!

Lucas Knight had just secretly held her as she slept, then quietly left before dawn. Having gone so long without loving her, holding her in his arms last night, he’d almost lost control.

He’d originally planned to just lay everything out to her directly, but he realized he didn’t even know how to start!

It was the first time he’d discovered that in front of this woman, he was this helpless.

In one of the hotel’s luxury suites, Harry North tried to persuade him: "Sir, you can’t keep going on like this, it’s not a solution. How about I go talk to Young Madam and explain everything to her?"

"Seeing you like this, I feel bad for you..."

"You’ve done so much, and she doesn’t know any of it..."

Harry North’s heart ached for him.

"Hm?" Lucas Knight looked over.

His sexy voice was rich and magnetic, the tail end of his words lifting ever so slightly.

Harry North lowered his voice a bit: "Sir, have you not considered how to come clean with Young Madam?"

"Admiral is already trying to help you on his side... I don’t want to see you hurting either. After all, I’ve followed you for so many years; I’m your man. When you’re in pain, I feel it too..."

Lucas Knight: "Hmm, then tonight... I’ll go see her?"

He had thought about it, but he was afraid Eva would keep rejecting him.

If that happened, it would really break his heart!

"Crown Prince, that’s exactly the right way to think. Go see Young Madam openly and aboveboard, she’ll definitely be happy. I heard from Miss Carla Carr that after leaving you, Young Madam has been crying every day; she’s hardly been happy at all..."
