    Chapter 1153 A Pir Of The Nation


    When Lucas entered, he could hear the sound of water sshing in the bathroom.


    The man raised his eyebrows without a word, his slender fingers leisurely beginning to unbutton his


    shirt cor.


    Ashlyn was taking a bath when suddenly, the bathroom door was flung open from the outside.


    Her cool gaze drifted toward the doorway, where she saw a man with a perfectly-proportioned


    physique. His bare chest was in full view, with clearly defined muscles evenly distributed across his


    wless frame.


    That enticing Apollo''s belt, especially, showcased the man''s wless physique.


    Ashlyn was so stirred by this thrilling scene that it left her breathless, her face flushed.


    “What are you doing here?” she asked, her cheeks burning hot.


    “Isn''t it my duty to help my wife take a bath?” Lucas asked, his lips curling into a subtle smile.


    This man''s mastery of flirting was out of this world. Before she could even react, he advanced, hisrge


    hand seizing hers and pulling her into his embrace. Instinctively, she stepped back.


    Her back pressed against the icy cold ceramic tiles.


    The warm flow of the shower washed over the two of them.


    Lucas'' profound, obsidian eyes remained fixed on her porcinplexion, her delicately pursed


    crimson lips, and her glistening eyes. At this moment, every facet of her seemed irresistibly captivating


    to him.


    As his handsome face drew closer to hers, their breaths intertwined.


    The atmosphere grew increasingly steamy.


    Toward the end, it was unclear who kissed whom first.


    Things soon gotten out of hand.


    The morning sunlight cascaded onto the plush expanse of the bed. The woman, immersed in a deep


    slumber, gradually opened her eyes, which seemed to contain stars. Her lengthy eyshes quivered


    gently, resembling the delicate sweep of raven feathers.


    The morning light bathed her fair and delicate skin in a mesmerizing radiance. She raised her slender


    arm gracefully, using it to shield her eyes.


    As soon as she moved, a wave of weakness and soreness rippled through her body.


    Last night was too intense.


    It was almost dawn when the two finally fell into a deep sleep after a whole night of passionate


    “exercise.”


    Ashlyn was slightly exasperated.


    How is this man''s stamina so impressive?


    Just as she was lost in thought, the bedroom door was pushed open. She saw Lucas entering with a


    tray in his hand, on which were two exquisite and delicious dishes, along with a steaming bowl of


    oatmeal porridge.


    He approached the bed with his lithe stride, his legs carrying him gracefully forward.


    “You''re awake.”


    The man''s maic voice resonated, and Ashlyn raised an eyebrow “Yeah.”


    She slowly sat up, clutching her thin nket, preparing to get out of bed. In an instant, the man set


    down the tray he held and approached her.


    In the next instant, she found herself unexpectedly lifted off her feet, taken by surprise as the man


    effortlessly scooped her up.


    Yelping softly, she lifted her arms reflexively to wrap them around the man''s neck. “What are you


    doing?” she asked.


    “I''m carrying you into the bathroom,” the man said casually as if that was how things should be.


    Ashlyn was speechless.


    Surely I''m not that delicate, right?


    However, the moment Lucas swiftly carried her into the bathroom, she discovered that the man had


    already squeezed out the toothpaste for her.


    After her feet touched the ground, the man wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.


    “Honey, can we discuss something?”

    While brushing her teeth, Ashlyn gave him a muffled reply, “What is it?”


    Lucas briefly exined Jacob''s situation to her.


    Ashlyn was already done freshening up and was now applying skincare products.


    A glint shed in her dark eyes after she heard what Lucas had to say. “Once he''s discharged and back


    at Section Six, I''ll take a look. Get me a copy of his medical records,” she said.


    So... does this mean she''s agreed?


    With a hint of amusement in his eyes, Lucas asked, “Aren''t you bothered by all the trouble I''m causing


    you?”


    “Your matter''s my matter, too. It''s not an easy task when ites to grooming a pir of the nation.


    Even though he''s getting on in years, if something unexpected were to happen, it would be a loss for


    both Section Six and the nation.”


    Ashlyn wasn''t someone ignorant or unreasonable.


    She suddenly realized something. “You rarely seem to inconvenience me; I don''t remember it


    happening often. Why is that? Does it make you ufortable to trouble me?”
