    Chapter 759 Lucy’s Stomach Doing Flips


    Never in a million years would Heather have guessed that this seemingly enraged woman, unleashing


    her fury on Lennon, was Cherise’s close friend! It made Heather feel insignificant and a pang of hurt as


    a rtive neer to Cherise’s circle.


    Taking a deep breath, she prepared to speak. However, Lennon, who had been observing the scene


    with a frosty demeanor, interjected with a scoff.


    “Heather simply wasn’t aware. I don’t make a habit of broadcasting my medical history. Besides, you


    should know better than anyone whether I’m ‘fit’ or ‘capable’ enough, I supposed?”


    He said, his eyes shing with a hint of insinuation and challenge.


    Lucy’s hands clenched into fists at her sides, but she quickly reced her anger with a smirk as she


    pulled up a chair beside Lennon. “Fine. Whatever you drink, I’ll match.”


    With that, she shot a frosty re across the table at Heather. “How many drinks has he had?”


    Heather waspletely blindsided. This turn of events was unexpected. Hesitantly, she raised three


    fingers.


    “Three, it is. Lucy grabbed the bottle, filled her ss, and downed it. Without pausing, she poured


    another and repeated the process several times.


    When she finished her third drink, the hand holding the ss was shaking slightly.


    She looked at Heather, “If I hadn’t smashed thatst drink on the floor, it would have been four, right?”


    Heather, speechless, could only manage a nod.


    Ignoring the tremor in her hand, Lucy poured herself another drink. Just as she raised the ss to her


    lip Lennon’s face hardened. He snatched the ss from her grasp and hurled it against the floor, where


    ss. shards were scattered everywhere.


    He roared, “Have you lost your mind?!”


    While Lucy had a high tolerance for alcohol, her stomach was less forgiving. Having consumed so


    much. on an empty stomach, she knew the consequences wouldn’t be far behind.


    “I was just being your drinking buddy. Now we both feel like death warmed over, so let’s toast to that!


    Come! Toast to being partners in misery until the very end! Maybe even rivals in the next life!”


    She reached for another drink with a nonchnt shrug, but Lennon grabbed her wrist firmly.


    “Enough, Lucy!” he eximed. His voice was a low growl, but his eyes held a concern that betrayed his


    anger.


    Heather, silent until now, finally understood. In fact, there was no way she could miss it; Lennon was


    clearly head over heels for Lucy.


    Feeling embarrassed, Heather turned away.


    Meanwhile, Lucy fiercely shook off Lennon’s hand. “Cut the act, Lenn! I’m not falling for it anymore.


    Just,


    fu*k off!”


    With that, she stormed out. Then, she stopped dead in her tracks, turned away from Lennon, and


    shed Cherise a quick, discreet sign.


    One look at Lucy’s pale face and urgent gesture was enough for Cherise to understand. This girl wast


    putting on a strong front, but her stomach was probably doing somersaults.


    Cherise bit her lip, wanting to intervene, but Lucy waved her off. Even in pain, she wouldn’t let Lennon


    see her weakness.


    But just as she took another step, the world tilted on its axis, before Lucy could react, she was swept


    up in a warm, firm embrace.


    Lennon’s voice, with a hint of teasing, came from above. “Don’t think I haven’t noticed your stomach


    doing. flips. You’re not very good at hiding it, you know.”


    He turned and walked out, carrying Lucy with ease, bridal style. Cherise, biting her lip, was about to


    follow them when Damien stepped in her path, blocking her way.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
