“I-I didn’t see anything.” Lucas hurriedly turned away as he explained in a panicky manner. But his words made Cheyenne blush even more because he had obviously seen it.

“You... Go outside! I need to change!” Cheyenne exclaimed while blushing shyly.

Lucas hurriedly ran out of the bedroom in a moment of panic and almost forgot to close the door. After scurrying a few steps away, he returned again to shut the door.

If his subordinates in the Falcon Regiment had seen him, they would definitely have been stunned.

After Lucas left the bedroom, Cheyenne finally felt her burning hot face cool down a little.

Thinking about the bold move she had made last night after mustering her courage, as well as the slip-up she had when she had just woken up, she felt extremely embarrassed and wished she could wrap the quilt around her head!

“Oh my god!”

What have I done?!

Last night, after arduous contemplation, she had finally made up her mind and plucked up the courage to change into a thin and sexy nightdress for Lucas. But she ended up falling asleep!

What happened early this morning made her feel overwhelmed with shyness too!

She would rarely wear sleeveless nightdresses, so she didn’t notice that she had a wardrobe malfunction... Lucas ended up seeing everything...

Ahhh! How am I supposed to face him in the future?!

“Mommy, what happened to you?” Amelia rubbed her eyes and climbed up onto the bed from beside Cheyenne. She opened her big eyes and looked at Cheyenne’s reddened face curiously.

“Mommy, your face is so red. Are you sick?” Amelia frowned worriedly and reached out to touch Cheyenne’s face to see if she was running a fever.

Cheyenne hurriedly hugged Amelia and squeezed her little hand. “I’m not sick. It’s just a little warm today. Come on. Let’s quickly wash up. What do you want for breakfast?”

She coughed twice and changed the subject. After hearing that Cheyenne wasn’t sick, Amelia soon shifted her attention to the topic of breakfast.

“Mommy, I want to eat some bread rolls today. Can I?” Amelia asked with her eyes wide open.

“Of course you may. I’ll prepare some for you later,” Cheyenne agreed as she helped Amelia get changed.

During breakfast, Lucas and Cheyenne sat on opposite sides of the table. They would occasionally make eye contact before immediately blushing unnaturally and then looking away from each other.

Neither of them said a single thing during breakfast, and they behaved rather awkwardly the entire time.

Charlotte looked at Lucas and then Cheyenne before asking in puzzlement, “Cheyenne, Lucas, what’s up with you guys today? You don’t seem too good. Did you two have a fight last night?”

When Cheyenne heard the word ‘last night’, she instantly remembered everything that happened again. She blushed again, even though the redness had just faded a little.

“No, how could we have had a fight? Quick, have your breakfast!” Cheyenne picked up a bread roll and stuffed it into Charlotte’s mouth.

“Waa!” Charlotte was caught off guard by the bread roll shoved into her mouth, and she hurriedly spat it out. “Cheyenne, are you trying to choke me to death? Since you don’t want me to ask you any questions, I won’t!”

Charlotte grumbled for a long time before taking a small bite of the bread roll.

“Mommy said that she’s blushing because the weather is warm today! She felt so warm that she wasn’t wearing any clothes this morning!” Amelia explained to Charlotte while sitting on a stool for children.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

...

All of a sudden, Charlotte spat out the bread roll she was nibbling on, Cheyenne spat out the mouthful of milk in her mouth, and Lucas spat out the coffee he was drinking.

William was just about to reach out for some food, but his arm stiffened, and he didn’t know if he should retract his arm or not.

Cheyenne’s face was as red as a tomato.

She never thought that Amelia would see her lying naked under the quilt and even talk about it in front of the rest of the family!

Ahhh! I can’t face them anymore!

“Ahem, all of you must be full. I’ll go get ready for work.” William coughed, put down his cutlery, and quickly walked out of the dining room.

As their father, he felt really embarrassed after hearing that!

But the only thing to be thankful for was probably that Karen wasn’t at the dining table and so didn’t hear those words. Otherwise, given how much she hated Lucas, she would have definitely lost her temper right on the spot.

Actually, it was rather strange that Karen’s attitude toward Lucas had never changed even though they had stayed in the villa for quite some time now. She still glared at him in disgust and would call him a good-for-nothing or threaten to kick him out.

The three adults at the table had peculiar expressions on their faces. But Amelia, who had made the situation awkward, was still happily munching on her bread roll.

Charlotte looked at Cheyenne, who was blushing incessantly, and Lucas, who looked just as uneasy. “It seems like Amelia will have a little brother or sister soon.”

When Cheyenne heard Charlotte teasing her, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch her face. “You’re still going on with that, huh! Keep talking, and I’ll find you a husband to marry you off quickly!”

Charlotte laughed out loud and dodged Cheyenne’s hand. “Okay, okay, I’ll stop! I’m full. I’m going to work now!”

Then she pushed the dining chair back and ran out with a wide grin on her face.

“This girl is really getting bolder and bolder,” Cheyenne said angrily before turning to look at Lucas. She said shyly, “Hmph, it’s all your fault!”

Lucas touched his nose speechlessly. Uh... regardless of which perspective, it has nothing to do with me.

But of course, he wouldn’t be foolish enough to defend himself in front of Cheyenne. He simply took the blame quietly.

Well, women tended to be unreasonable at times. Actually, it was rare for Cheyenne to be unreasonable to him!

After finishing the meal, Lucas drove the few of them to work.

First, he sent Amelia to the kindergarten, then sent Cheyenne to the Brilliance Corporation, and finally drove to the Solar Corporation together with William.

In the car, Lucas briefed William about the general situation of the company and then said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already explained to the branch’s deputy general manager, Mr. Nelson. He’ll help you familiarize yourself, and you can ask him if there’s anything you’re unsure of. If anyone is defiant, let me know, and I’ll deal with it.”

William nodded. “Okay, I know.”

Then he looked at Lucas intently, seemingly hesitating to say something.

Seeing this, Lucas asked softly, “William, what do you want to tell me? Just say it.”

William seemed a little uneasy, and he coughed before saying, “I just think that you can consider letting Amelia sleep in a separate room. She’s turning six this year, and it won’t be good to let her see some things.”

Then William opened the car door and quickly got out of the car like he was fleeing.

It was quite embarrassing to talk to his son-in-law about this!

Lucas froze for a moment while wondering why William had asked him to let Amelia sleep in a separate room. After he processed William’s last sentence, he looked dumbfounded!

What is this all about?!
