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 you company. You should get some sleep”

Lean Flanagan–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 him lately, 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 her lately, 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 was late 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 black umbrella. Allison shook her head, “I’m almost home, you can use it.”

Seeing her insistence, Dr. Dylan sighed, got out of the car, opened the unbrella, 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 slammed 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. Dylan was hugging Allison, they looked affectionate. She said, this is Dr Dylan’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 classes.

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 class, 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.
