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 welcome,” 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.

Lucas laughed 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 explained 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,” Lucas comforted her.

Anne looked down. She felt as though she had seen the last 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.

I

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, slamming the door right onto Anne's body.

“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 to come 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!”
