Chapter 1474 - 1473: Bridesmaid Dress

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1473: Bridesmaid Dress

Isabel Grant mentioned the wedding plans earlier, but they both disagreed.

So the matter was dropped.

"Lucas, I won’t say more. I know you have your own perspective, so rest early. Good night." It’s always best to leave things at that.

"Good night."

He hung up the phone.

The entire study fell into a chill.

He looked at the wall clock; the hour hand pointed at two. It was two in the deep night.

Alexander Kingsley’s wedding took him by surprise...

As longtime friends, watching him step into the marriage hall should have been a happy occasion, but... why couldn’t he feel happy?

...

Eva Nightingale hadn’t slept either.

She made two cups of coffee, holding one, and placed the other on the living room table. The coffee was completely cold, yet Lucas Knight was nowhere in sight.

Harry North mentioned that he’s been very busy these days. Last night, ministers and deputy ministers from the Presidential Mansion came to the Bay View Complex for a late-night meeting.

Eva made coffee intending to take it to the study for him, but hesitated, afraid of disturbing him.

With the coffee in her hand, she walked to the balcony and stared into the distance.

"Can’t sleep, huh?"

A cool voice spilled over from behind, followed immediately by a pair of slender arms embracing her from behind: "Honey, did you miss me... huh?"

His lips were already at Eva’s ear.

"When did you come?" Eva avoided the question.

"The coffee’s cold, let’s not drink it." He took the coffee cup from her hand, placed it aside, and wrapped her in his arms again, "Honey, want me to stay with you?"

"What are you thinking about, huh?"

He spoke so much as soon as he arrived.

Eva didn’t even know which one to answer!

"Lucas Knight, you’re... holding me so tight, could you loosen a bit?"

"Okay." He relaxed his strong arms, lowering his gaze to see her little face already flushed.

Was she nervous?

"You don’t want me to hold you?"

"..." She didn’t answer, took a step forward, and wrapped her arms around his waist, "I’ll hold you..."

Normally, it’s him who holds her; this time, she held him.

-

When they returned to the room, it was already past three, Eva was asleep, carried in by Lucas Knight.

Her hands somehow had slipped inside her clothes, holding him directly for a skin-tight embrace.

"Be good, don’t do this..."

He pulled her small hands out, truly overwhelmed!

But Eva was already fast asleep and knew nothing of this.

Lucas Knight just held her like that throughout the night, and Eva slept soundly till morning.

*

The next day.

She instinctively squirmed under the covers.

Feeling something hard, paused for two seconds, then realized she was sleeping on him, opened her eyes, and poked his muscles again. So hard. This man, what’s the point of building up all these muscles?

By her ear, there was even breathing, Lucas Knight was still asleep. Afraid to wake him, Eva decided to stay perfectly still.

Downstairs, Aunt Fang was preparing breakfast.

When Eva and Lucas Knight went down, it was two hours later.

"Young Madam, Eldest Young Master, come have breakfast."

"Mm." Lucas Knight held Eva’s hand and led her into the dining room to sit.

"I’m going out later." Eva looked at him, "I’m going to the mall... to pick out the bridesmaid dress."

And prepare a gift for Carla Carr.

Lucas Knight looked up at her, "I’ll have the most famous designer from the Emperor Grand Group called over to tailor one for you, okay?"
