Chapter 72


    Seeing his hesitation, Penelope grabbed his arm, “Lucian, don’t go back. It’s raining outside, the road is


    not safe”


    “Alright, get a guest room ready for me. He looked at Penelope. “I have a video conference to join


    soon, I won’t be able to keep youpany. You should get some sleep”


    Lean nagan–Eaden chuckled, “Penelope, see how much Lucian cares about you”


    As soon as Lucian went upstairs, Lean quickly asked Penelope, “You’ve swapped back with Allison for


    quite a while now, how are things going? Are you pregnant yet? That’s totes the most important thing”


    Penelope looked at her, she didn’t dare tell Lean that Lucian hasn’t touched her at all. Even when she


    insisted on staying at Juniper Ridge, he’d say that he was swamped with work and sleep in the study at


    night


    She barely even saw himtely, which is why she couldn’t help but look for him at Lindberg Corporation


    today.


    Hearing Lean’s urging she grew more agitated, “Mom, it’s not that simple!”


    Lucian has been more and more cold towards hertely, or rather… he’s never been warm towards


    her..


    Lucian went to smoke on the second floor balcony. He leaned his hands against the window, looking at


    the pouring rain outside. Suddenly, the headlights of a car caught his eye. It waste and raining


    heavily, there shouldn’t be any guests.


    The car parked below, then Allison got out.


    The windshield wipers swayed, and a man in the car handed out a ck umbre. Allison shook her


    head, “I’m almost home, you can use it.”


    Seeing her insistence, Dr. Dn sighed, got out of the car, opened the unbre, shielded her with it,


    then shoved it into her hands.


    Then he drove off.


    On the second floor, the smoke masked his handsome face, leaving only a vague silhouette.


    Lucian’s fingers slowly clenched into a fist, then, his fist mmed down on the window sill.


    His eyes slowly filled with coldness.


    His phone vibrated Shawn sent him a message.


    It was a screenshot from Facebook. Shawn’s girlfriend, a doctor at the hospital, had posted a group


    photo. In the photo, Dr. Dn was hugging Allison, they looked affectionate. She said, this is Dr


    Dn’s girlfriend…


    Looking at the photo, Lucian’s grip grew tighter.


    So, he hadn’t seen Allison for a month.


    In school, she seemed to have disappeared, as he said, she no longer attended sses.


    Whenever he went to the Red Jack Club, she would intentionally avoid him. This month, it seemed…


    She really disappeared from his world.


    He should feel relieved. The woman who had once tried to drug him, wanted to get in his bed, and


    thought she could seduce him because she looked a bit like his wife finally stopped appearing before


    him, he should be happy


    He’d seen many women like this.


    But Lucian found that he wasn’t happy.


    When he was in ss, he would still call her name.


    But no one answered.


    When he saw other men sending her home, he even thought of sternly educating this ungrateful girl!

    He took a deep drag from his cigarette, squinting his eyes fiercely


    He murmured her name in his mouth.
