Chapter 485

Lucas could not quite explain what was going on with him. He started to worry about Corinne, whom he

always disliked.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that it was because he was exhausted from work recently

that he started to have an illusion.

Soon, the car arrived at the Lunar Century Manor. After the car was parked, Corinne followed Lucas

out of the car and entered the manor.

After taking a few steps, Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Corinne from the

corner of his eyes and asking her indifferently, “Do you feel cold?”

It was the beginning of winter, so the temperature at night was already very low.

Wearing a thin dress, Corinne’s arms were flushed because of the night breeze, but she replied

indifferently, “I’m alright.”

Lucas looked at her and pondered for a second, then he looked back to say, “Edmund, bring the jacket

in the car that Anya bought for me a few days ago and let Miss Corinne put it on.”

Edmund was taken aback, but he did as he was told.

Corinne was dazed when Edmund draped the new jacket over her shoulders. “Thank concern, Mister

Lucas.”

Lucas replied coldly, “Don’t overthink it. I just don’t want you to catch a cold and infect me when you go

to work sick tomorrow.”

Corinne smiled. “I wasn’t overthinking. It’s just that regardless of the reason you were showing concern

for your subordinate, I was taken care of by you, so it’s only polite for me to thank you.”

Lucas glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. He just walked toward the manor, and Corinne

followed along next to him.

Lunar Century Manor was the Riveras’ territory, so they could walk in freely without being stopped as

soon as they entered the vicinity. However, guests were only allowed to enter the banquet hall after

signing their names together with their partners at the reception area near the entrance. Anybody who

came alone, regardless of who that was, would not be allowed to enter. That was the long-established.

rule for Missus Benet’s birthday party.

As her nephew, it would be rude to not celebrate his aunt’s birthday. Therefore, Lucas would find a

partner to come to the party with him every year for formalities.

Lucas’s arrival caused a small commotion in the banquet hall.

Lucas hardly attended parties, so it was extremely rare for him to appear on occasions like this. Only a

-respected senior of the Riveras like his aunt could make him show his face at the event.

“Look, Mister Lucas is here with his partner!”

“Which family did the girl come from? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”

“She’s so pretty! She even has Mister Lucas’s jacket on her shoulder. There must be something going

on between them.”

“That’s not surprising. Mister Lucas is at the age where he should be settling down, so wouldn’t it make

sense for him to bring his girlfriend to celebrate his aunt’s birthday?”

“I remember he has always had Rosie Sutton as his partner every year in the past.”

“It’s because Rosie is best friends with Miss Anya that she could get close to Mister Lucas! Now that he

has his partner, of course, he doesn’t hear anymore!”

“You’re right! I see that he’s not interested in Rosie at all!”

Ignoring all those pointless discussions, Lucas looked around in the banquet hall, then said to Corinne

without any emotions, “Find a place to have a seat here. I’ll go to the front to greet my family.”

“Alright, Mister Lucas,” Corinne answered politely. She was thinking that Lucas must be afraid of

creating. unnecessary misunderstanding that he did not take her to meet his family.

After taking a few steps, Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned to take a look at Corinne. What exactly

was he worried about?
