Chapter 218

Allison thought: Lucian was already engaged to Penelope, and he was always so sweet to her, a stark contrast to how he treated me. All his tenderness was for Penelope, and Penelope was even pregnant now. But if he truly loved Penelope, how could he end up in bed with me?

“You’re her fiancé, and you’re supposed to marry her.”

Heaning this, Lucian seemed to lose interest. He stood up, and she quickly closed her eyes, feeling her ears burning. Upon seeing this. Lucian chuckled, opened his wardrobe and changed into a new set of clothes.

“Allison, you know, rich folks have their way of life, and poor folks have theirs. Everyone has to put up with some shit.”

Besides, it wasn’t even certain if the child in Penelope’s belly was his. The Lindberg family was very strict about lineage. Until Penelope had given birth, he wouldn’t marry her.

Whether he would marry Penelope remained a big question mark.

That night, Penelope showed up at his hotel room. It certainly wasn’t a coincidence, and it wasn’t a birthday party for a friend either. He didn’t want to expose the truth because he owed Penelope for saving him.

He didn’t want Penelope to be linked with George Lindberg.

But if Penelope and George were in cahoots, he would not let it slide.

Penelope was at the door, but her calls to Lucian were not getting through.

She stomped her foot in frustration, wondering what Lucian was up to She knocked on the door, but he didn’t answer Had he drunk too much last night and was feeling ill now?

Probably At that moment, a man who looked like a bellhop came over, “Ms. Flanagan, Mr. Lindberg asked me to inform you to head to Pearl Island first. He will be there soon.”

“Isn’t he leaving now?”

The bellhop said, “Mr. Lindberg drank too much last night and is still resting.”

Penelope nodded, so that was it “Alright then.”

She glanced at the door in front of her and then turned to leave.

Inside the bedroom.

Allison clung to the blanket to cover herself, watching Lucian was already dressed and feeling nervous, “Where are my clothes?”

Lucian was fixing his cuffs.

“In the bathroom.”

Allison quickly grabbed the bathrobe, even though he had seen everything last night, but her cheeks were burning. She rushed to the bathroom. Her clothes were on the rack, but they were no longer wearable!

“Lucian, you don’t give me clothes or money. I really got the short end of the stick from being with you last night.”

“Got the short end of the stick? It was me doing all the work. You were just enjoying it. Weren’t you delighted just now?”

Upon hearing this, her cheeks instantly turned red She couldn’t win an argurpent with him.

“I didn’t.”

Lucian raised an eyebrow, “Seems like you have a bad memory. Do you need me to jog it for you?”

Allison clenched my teeth.

Suddenly, a phone rang This time it wasn’t Lucian’s phone but Allison’s Allison took out her phone from the nightstand and saw the caller ID.

It was Jason.

“Hello.”

“Allison, where are you? We’re about to leave for Pearl Island. Why aren’t you in your room?”

“Umm. Didn’t I drink a bit too much last night? I have a headache now. You guys go ahead.”

“A headache? Did you bring any medicine? I can bring you some.”

“No need. I just sleep a little longer.”

While Allison was still chatting with Jason, there was a sound at the door. She looked up to see Lucian storming out of the room.

He really had a temper!

“Allison, what was that noise?”

“Oh, a cup just fell. No big deal.”

After hanging up, Allison started worrying about how to get out of there. Going out in just a bathrobe would get her mistaken for a lunatic!

Her eyes fell on the man’s wardrobe.

She walked over, opened it, and found various sports outfits, suits, and casual clothes neatly hung. She picked a grey sports shirt to put on, then looked at her overly spacious figure.

Allison really didn’t know what to do.

Here, she didn’t have any friends she knew.

She couldn’t have someone bring her clothes either.

She left the bedroom and came to the living room. Her eyes landed on a gift box on the table.

Allison walked over and opened the box.

Inside, there was a long goose–yellow dress and a set of underwear.

It turned out, Lucian had already prepared all these for her.
