    “Hmm?”


    Lucas paused, staring at Aveline. “Are you sure you want me to toss it over?<b>” </b>Lucas paused, staring at Aveline. “Are yo


    Aveline responded firmly, “I’m sure.”


    No way would she let hime any closer.


    “Alright.”


    Lucas nodded, then casually tossed the pajamas toward her.


    Aveline reached out to catch them, but they slipped through her fingers and fell to the floor,nding in a puddle of water. The pajamas were quickly soaked, making them unusable.


    “You…”


    Aveline looked up, ring at Lucas. “Did you do that on purpose?”


    Lucas‘ sharp, handsome face showed nothing but innocence. “You told me to throw them, and I did. You didn’t catch them, so how is that my fault?”


    He acted as if Aveline was the one being unreasonable.


    Aveline was fuming. “Lucas, I’m freezing, and I’m not in the mood for games. Get Selena!”


    Lucas stared at her for a long moment before suddenly walking over. In her shocked gaze, he lifted her


    into his arms.


    “Put me down!”


    Aveline’s body tensed up immediately. His warm hands pressed directly against her bare skin, while he remained fully dressed. The contrast between them was stark.


    Lucas‘ gaze darkened, and he leaned in to give her a firm kiss. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    “Aveline, by now you should realize that when I want something, there’s no getting away from it. So why not cooperate? It’ll make things easier for both of us.”


    Aveline was furious, but with her limited mobility and being held in his arms, she couldn’t even struggle. Lucas carried her out of the bathroom and ced her on the bed. He then went to the walk–in closet, grabbed a fresh set of pajamas, and made it clear he intended to dress her himself.


    “No!”


    Aveline refused resolutely. “I can do it myself.<b>” </b>


    Lucas stared at her intensely for a moment, then handed over the pajamas and watched her get dressed.


    Under his gaze, a faint blush spread across Aveline’s fair skin. She fought back her embarrassment and anger, quickly putting on the clothes. Then, she scooted back and asked, “Where’s Selena?”


    Lucas replied, “No idea.”

    Aveline reached for her phone to call Sele


    “Mm!”


    Just then, a muffled sound came from inside the walk–in closet.


    Aveline’s brows furrowed. “What was <i>th </i>

    The sound came again, and this time, she recognized it–it was Selena’s voice! It sounded like her mouth was gagged, preventing her from speaking!


    Aveline’s eyes shot to Lucas. “What did you do?”


    Lucas pretended to suddenly realize, “Oh, it seems she might have fallen in the closet. I’ll go check.”


    He strolled casually into the walk–in closet, and soon enough, Selena’s furious voice echoed through the


    room.


    “Lucas, you’re <i>such </i>a bastard! I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you! Aveline doesn’t even want to

    Aveline watched anxiously, wishing she could rush over to see what was happening.


    A momentter, Lucas‘ tall figure emerged from the closet, followed by a furious Selena.


    “What exactly happened?” Aveline asked, her brows knit tightly.


    Selena angrily replied, “He tied me up <i>and </i>stuffed me in the closet just so he could get in to see you!”


    Aveline immediately red at Lucas. “You…”


    She opened her mouth to speak but found herself at a loss for words.


    This man was not only shameless but utterly despicable in his methods<i>! </i>
