Perfect CEO

Chapter 709 Take The Initiative

With a mischievous grin, Lucas caressed her lips.

Half an hour later, Lucy emerged from the bathroom. She touched the edge of her lips, feeling a slight pain in the area. I think he caused a slight tear. He's too big!

Immediately, she blushed and wrapped her bathrobe tightly around her, ensuring her modesty, before proceeding to change inside the walk-in closet.

Because of the hickeys, she had to wear a shirt with higher collars to conceal the marks on her neck.

As she checked herself out in the mirror, she noticed that her complexion had become rosier and more attractive. It's strange. I'm looking better and getting plumper since I started dating Lucas six months ago.

Taking a deep breath, she interrupted her train of thought and made her way downstairs.

Halfway down the stairs, Lucy noticed the cold, silent atmosphere in the living room.

She touched her cheek, ensuring it was no longer flushed, before continuing her journey.

“Would you like to watch some television, Gwen, Mr. Lowen?” she offered, trying to break the tense silence in the room.

Why are they just sitting there? Aren't they bored? Lucy turned on the television, and coincidentally, it was playing a kissing scene. Gwendolyn's eyes widened slightly at the sight before she lowered her head. She felt a twinge of guilt because she secretly desired to share such moments with Patrick.

On the other hand, Patrick was thoroughly enjoying the show, occasionally glancing at Gwendolyn with a smile.

Lucy tried to switch the channel, but the remote control wasn't working properly. She had to hold down the button for an extended duration before the channel eventually changed.

“This reality show is pretty entertaining,” she commented stiffly.

She, too, had a faint blush on her face.

Suddenly, Gwendolyn got to her feet. “Let's go check on the kids, Luce.”

Without any delay, she quickly grabbed her friend's hand and left the living room. By the time Patrick looked in their direction, they had disappeared upstairs.

At the same time, Lucas stood at the top of the staircase, exuding a joyful demeanor and dressed casually.

He observed the women ascending the stairs and then directed his intense gaze toward Lucy.

Upon seeing his grin, Lucy was reminded of what happened in the bathroom, causing her to avert her gaze.

“Gwen!” Lucas greeted with a smile.

Gwendolyn shot a brief glance at him and said, “Go and keep your friend company, Mr. Gomez.”

She was not fond of Lucas, as he frequently bullied Lucy. As a result, Gwendolyn had always maintained a cold and indifferent attitude toward him.

Lucas grinned, but Lucy shot him a stern look, indicating that he should refrain from speaking out of turn.

The women then proceeded to the greenhouse on the third floor, while Lucas made his way to Patrick. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Patrick was seated on the couch, maintaining a posture as straight as a soldier.

The men had the reality show on, but they weren't paying much attention to it.

Without warning, Lucas remarked, “Gwendolyn looks quite refreshing in her outfit today.”

Patrick's expression shifted slightly as he narrowed his eyes at Lucas. “Wasn't earlier enough for you?”

He knew what the couple did after they went upstairs, and the satisfied look on Lucas' face said as much.

Lucas chuckled while holding his chin. “Relax, I wasn't ogling at Gwendolyn. I wouldn't dare to.”

In response, Patrick turned away, took out two cigarettes, and tossed one to his friend. As he smoked, he couldn't help but feel grumpy about his predicament. I can't believe I'm envious of him. He can kiss and f*ck his woman whenever he wants to, but I don't have that privilege.

The look in his eyes grew darker.

Perplexed, Lucas commented, “I heard you lost your memory and forgot who Gwendolyn is, but that doesn't seem to be the case.”

“You'll break her heart like this, you know,” he reminded, exhaling a cloud of smoke.

Patrick flicked his cigarette into the ashtray with a dismissive gesture. “Hmph! Break her heart, you say. Are you implying that she doesn't deserve it?”

Lucas smiled. “You're such a naughty boy, Pat. You want her to take the initiative?”
