Chapter 1153Chapter 1153 A Pillar Of The Nation
When Lucas entered, he could hear the sound of water splashing in the bathroom.
The man raised his eyebrows without a word, his slender fingers leisurely beginning to unbutton his
shirt collar.
Ashlyn was taking a bath when suddenly, the bathroom door was flung open from the outside.
Her cool gaze drifted toward the doorway, where she saw a man with a perfectly-proportioned
physique. His bare chest was in full view, with clearly defined muscles evenly distributed across his
flawless frame.
That enticing Apollo's belt, especially, showcased the man's flawless physique.
Ashlyn was so stirred by this thrilling scene that it left her breathless, her face flushed.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, her cheeks burning hot.
“Isn't it my duty to help my wife take a bath?” Lucas asked, his lips curling into a subtle smile.
This man's mastery of flirting was out of this world. Before she could even react, he advanced, his large
hand seizing hers and pulling her into his embrace. Instinctively, she stepped back.
Her back pressed against the icy cold ceramic tiles.
The warm flow of the shower washed over the two of them.
Lucas' profound, obsidian eyes remained fixed on her porcelain complexion, her delicately pursed
crimson lips, and her glistening eyes. At this moment, every facet of her seemed irresistibly captivatingto him.
As his handsome face drew closer to hers, their breaths intertwined.
The atmosphere grew increasingly steamy.
Toward the end, it was unclear who kissed whom first.
Things soon gotten out of hand.
The morning sunlight cascaded onto the plush expanse of the bed. The woman, immersed in a deep
slumber, gradually opened her eyes, which seemed to contain stars. Her lengthy eyelashes quivered
gently, resembling the delicate sweep of raven feathers.
The morning light bathed her fair and delicate skin in a mesmerizing radiance. She raised her slender
arm gracefully, using it to shield her eyes.
As soon as she moved, a wave of weakness and soreness rippled through her body.
Last night was too intense.
It was almost dawn when the two finally fell into a deep sleep after a whole night of passionate
“exercise.”
Ashlyn was slightly exasperated.
How is this man's stamina so impressive?
Just as she was lost in thought, the bedroom door was pushed open. She saw Lucas entering with a
tray in his hand, on which were two exquisite and delicious dishes, along with a steaming bowl of
oatmeal porridge.He approached the bed with his lithe stride, his legs carrying him gracefully forward.
“You're awake.”
The man's magnetic voice resonated, and Ashlyn raised an eyebrow “Yeah.”
She slowly sat up, clutching her thin blanket, preparing to get out of bed. In an instant, the man set
down the tray he held and approached her.
In the next instant, she found herself unexpectedly lifted off her feet, taken by surprise as the man
effortlessly scooped her up.
Yelping softly, she lifted her arms reflexively to wrap them around the man's neck. “What are you
doing?” she asked.
“I'm carrying you into the bathroom,” the man said casually as if that was how things should be.
Ashlyn was speechless.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookSurely I'm not that delicate, right?
However, the moment Lucas swiftly carried her into the bathroom, she discovered that the man had
already squeezed out the toothpaste for her.
After her feet touched the ground, the man wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.
“Honey, can we discuss something?”
While brushing her teeth, Ashlyn gave him a muffled reply, “What is it?”
Lucas briefly explained Jacob's situation to her.Ashlyn was already done freshening up and was now applying skincare products.
A glint flashed in her dark eyes after she heard what Lucas had to say. “Once he's discharged and back
at Section Six, I'll take a look. Get me a copy of his medical records,” she said.
So... does this mean she's agreed?
With a hint of amusement in his eyes, Lucas asked, “Aren't you bothered by all the trouble I'm causing
you?”
“Your matter's my matter, too. It's not an easy task when it comes to grooming a pillar of the nation.
Even though he's getting on in years, if something unexpected were to happen, it would be a loss for
both Section Six and the nation.”
Ashlyn wasn't someone ignorant or unreasonable.
She suddenly realized something. “You rarely seem to inconvenience me; I don't remember it
happening often. Why is that? Does it make you uncomfortable to trouble me?”
