Chapter 866


    Chapter 866


    Lucas made lunch for the both of them. He was worried


    that Anne had been starving for a long time, but he found Anne sitting on the couch and zoning out


    when he came out of the kitchen.


    Did she keep the same posture the whole time?


    “Anne?”


    Anne looked up, looking confused.


    “Lunch time.”


    Anne turned and saw the dishes on the table.


    “Come on.” Lucas pulled her wrist over to the dining


    table and sat her down in the chair.


    “I am not hungry…” Anne said.


    “You still have to eat.” Lucas served something for her.


    “Thank you.”


    “You’re wee,” Lucas said.


    Anne then held her head down and kept eating silently.


    Lucas saw that she was silent the whole time, so he ate


    his portion too.


    Then, to cheer her up, he broke the silence. “Do you remember Leta? She was still talking about you


    two days


    ago. She said she had not seen you in a long time and was asking if you were free for a meet-up. She


    would love to treat you to a meal.”


    “Leta is a good woman,” Anne said.


    She felt bad for suspecting her before.


    Lucasughed and said, “She is indeed a nice person, except a little mean at times. However, I guess


    we are just not fated to be.” Anne looked up at him, and he


    continued, “Most importantly, I don’t feel the spark between us. I exined to her that we could still be


    friends.”


    “Is it because of me?” Anne asked.


    He managed to find her at the graveyard, which spoke volumes about how much he cared about her.


    She felt like a worn-out rug that had been tugged and torn by Anthony and could never return to its


    original smooth, unwrinkled state anymore.


    “That was my personal preference. Don’t you feel pressured. Even if you are not in the picture, I will not


    get married this early either. I will not get married to just


    anyone. This is an important milestone in my life,” Lucasforted her.


    Anne looked down. She felt as though she had seen thest of her life.


    Perhaps it was better to have something to look forward


    to in life.


    Then, the doorbell rang.


    Not sure who it was.


    The housekeeper was not around, and Lucas rose to


    answer the door. He saw the screen on the door that


    showed the malicious man and could not help but frown. This guy had found him…


    He turned around and saw Anne’s pale face. He reminded


    her, “Hide in the room. I will handle him.”


    Anne did not move but said, “Mr. Newman, thank you for the meal. I will go back first.”


    Then, she walked forward and opened the door.


    Lucas managed to grab her hand in time. He lowered his voice, “Anne…”


    “Anthony could find us. That means he knew my


    whereabouts. There is no point hiding anymore. Goodbye.


    Anne peeled his hand away.

    She pulled the door open, and as soon as there was a gap in the door, the person on the other end


    pushed it harshly, mming the door right onto Anne’s body.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Ah…” She fell backward, and Lucas immediately caught


    her.


    Anthony saw it and immediately took a big step forward and pulled Anne, almost as though he could


    not stand it, even if another man just touched her briefly!


    “You knocked her over.” Lucas was displeased.


    “If she was not here, would she have been knocked over?


    “Anthony was sarcastic, his eyes menacing.


    Anne said, “Nothing happened between us. We were just eating, and I was about to go home.”


    “Is there no food at home for you toe here for a meal? Anthony was scarily dominant. “Or would


    you like me to give him a lesson, then only you will be obedient?”


    Anne stood still but looked down at her toes. “Do you really have to do this?”


    Anthony was flustered to see her indifferent expression and grabbed her wrist. “Move along!”
