Nicole suddenly smiled comfortingly when she saw her son's helpless expression.
“Boy, you have to treat Yasmeen well in the future. How much did Yasmeen suffer just to be with you?
How far had she gone through with you? She was even teased by Michele s while ago. Even the kid
Edison was dissatisfied with Yasmeen.”
Nicole seemed to say it unintentionally, but Lucas still noticed something and frowned slightly.
“Edison and Michele have been here?”
He looked at Yasmeen and asked.
Yasmeen nodded and said, “They have been here for a while, but then they left in a hurry. Probably
because of business. And they let me pass on their greeting.”
Nicole sighed after hearing Yasmeen's words of breaking the ice. But in the end, she didn't intervene.
“Okay, your dad and I have something to deal with. Yasmeen will take care of you recently. Call me if
there’s anything wrong. As for the mother and daughter, you can step aside and leave it to me.”
“Thank you, mommy.”
Lucas nodded, but said, “Please don’t interfere with Penny and her mother. I can still use their help in
the future.”
“Um?”
“The secret is not to be revealed.”
Lucas's words left Nicole a little speechless.
She glared at Lucas, and then said, “You can mess around as long as you want to, but your eldest
brother will be engaged this week. Just come back if you’re available.”
“This week?”
Lucas was a little surprised.
Lucas didn't hear much about Joseph's love story. How could he suddenly get engaged?
Speaking of the eldest son, Nicole was also a little helpless.
“You are all grown up and have your own life or emotional life. I can't just control you guys anymore.
Joseph called me and said that he is going to get engaged this week. I can only notify you with the
news.”
“Who is the fiancé? Do we know them?”
Nicole shook her head when she heard it.
“I don't know, but I will send someone to check her out.”
“Forget it, Mom. Joseph is prudent. Since he said he is going to get engaged, he must be serious. Just
don't check it. It won’t help to make him feel uncomfortable.”
Nicole hesitated when Lucas said that, and finally nodded.
After she left, Yasmeen quickly gave Lucas a cup of warm water.
“Drink some water, you are so short of water that your mouth is cracked.”
“Um.”
Lucas didn't shy away, took the water and took a sip. After a while, he suddenly asked, “In your opinion,
why on earth would my elder brother who kept doing medical research all day get engaged suddenly?”
“Why would I know?”
Besides Lucas, Yasmeen really didn't care much about other things.
Lucas stopped the attempt to think about the matter since he couldn’t find a clue. Still he felt a little
depressed when he thought about the quarantined and political investigation during this period of time.
“I couldn’t go back next week. You may go back to my brother's engagement banquet for me, and pick
a decent gift for my brother for me by the way.”
“Me?”
Yasmeen was dumbfounded.
Seeing her cute gesture, Lucas chuckled and said, “You are my girlfriend. And I am now being
quarantined. Who can go in the name of me except you?”
“Oh.”
Yasmeen's lips curled up suddenly, feeling as if there were sweetness in the air.
Lucas’s girlfriend!
That's a damn good address and it sounded so good!
“I will submit the application when this is over.”
“Application for what? Lucas, I’ll tell you what, I won’t allow you to give up your dreams for me. I know
being a soldier is your dream. I have never thought of asking you to leave the army.”
Yasmeen suddenly became nervous.
Thinking of what Michele Hawk had said, Yasmeen really wanted to go back in time.
If she had known that the place where she was going was the kidnapping scene, and if she had known
that the person performing the mission that day was Lucas, she would not go for any benefit or
temptation.
Lucas could guess what Michele and Edison told her when he saw Yasmeen so self-blamed. And the
anger in his eyes grow even higher.
“What the hell are you thinking? Who told you that I was going to quit?”
“Didn't you just say that you are going to submit the application? Wasn’t it the resignation letter?”
Yasmeen was a little surprised at what Lucas meant.
Lucas couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked at her forehead twice directly.
“Why on earth would you be so stupid?”
“Ouch, it hurts! You knock me on the head again! I'm not that smart originally. Hit me harder I would be
stupid! Lucas, do you want a stupid wife?”
Yasmeen stroked her forehead and complained.
This man was so damn strong.
Lucas curled his lips and said with a faint smile, “You are stupid anyway. Or why would you waste
twenty years on a man if you are not that stupid?”
“I'm happy to do it. You can’t control me?”
Although Yasmeen said so, a faint smile appeared on her face and she was obviously in a good mood.
Lucas saw that her eyes were full of happiness, and then he said, “The application can be an
application of marriage. Or else you want to wait another twenty years before marrying me?”
Yasmeen was stunned suddenly.
Surprise, excitement, and happiness filled her chest, making her unable to find out what kind of
reaction she should have at the moment.
“Are you proposing to me?”
“Kind of.”
“But shouldn’t there be flower or ring in the proposal?”
As soon as Yasmeen finished her word, her forehead was knocked again.
“Damn, you hit again! Lucas, do you want to get killed?”
Lucas loved this Yasmeen so much.
He thought he might be a little masochistic.
But Lucas said with a smile, “Flowers, rings? And should I still kneel on one knee?”
“That's right theoretically. Everyone does this in the proposal.”
“That's why they are not Lucas Bush. I'm just not so dull and so obedient to public opinion. If you want
to marry me, just say yes. Or I can still cancel the application”
Lucas was still hypocritical.
She tried so hard to make Lucas fall in love with her. If this man didn't want to marry her, then she
would really d.
“Okay, fine. I didn't say that I don’t want to marry you.”
Yasmeen was somehow depressed.
Other people’s proposal was so romantic. But when it comes to her, her proposal was full of
intimidation and lure?
Nonsense!
There’s no temptation?
It’s just pure intimidation!
Sadly, she was intimidated voluntarily.
It’s just so rare to see.
Compared to Yasmeen, Lucas is in a good mood.
“I'm a little tired. Please help me adjust the temperature.”
“Oh, fine.”
The dignified princess immediately turned into a cute little maid, and quickly adjusted the temperature
with the remote control for him.
Lucas slowly got down, and then said, “My back hurts, please read me a newspaper or something to
divert my attention.”
“Aren't you going to sleep?”
“I need hypnosis before sleeping. It’s too painful to sleep.”
This made Yasmeen shut up.
Fine, you are the boss!
Seating in front of Lucas's bed, Yasmeen brought up the military newspaper and read it slowly.
Her voice is not particularly soft, but with a hint of sweetness and clearness. Her reading was like a
gentle summer wind blowing on his face, cool and comfortable.
Lucas fell asleep before she noticed. Yasmeen gently put down the newspaper because of his even
breathing. But at this moment, the phone dinged and she received a message. Yasmeen’s expression
suddenly changed because of the message.
