Chapter 162

The first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning. Savanna had just woken up when Lucas returned exhausted. His expression was very bad. Lucas said, “We confirmed the identity of the deceased. It is Tracy. Giselle also went there. She cried very sadly. I didn’t see Brandon there.”

There were only a few people at the funeral, which was so desolate and heartbreaking.

Hearing Lucas’ words, Savanna did not say a word. She went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

During breakfast, the two of them had no communication at all.

After breakfast, Savanna was cleaning up the table when Lucas asked for her opinion, “Shall I send you to the Cassel Group?”

Savanna smiled and said in a gentle voice, “Didn’t Brandon say that I shouldn’t appear in front of him again?”

Those words were conveyed to Savanna by Lucas. Brandon had indeed said such words.

“Yes.” Lucas nodded with a smile. He added, “I just want to ask for your opinion. If you don’t want to go to the Cassel Group, I will ask someone to move your things back to L&S Limited.”

Savanna said, “You know that.

“From the beginning, if it wasn’t for L&S Limited, I would never have thought of going to work in the Cassel Group. Lucas, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. Back then, why were you willing to pick me up from prison? Was it just because you wanted to do Leo a favor?”

Savanna asked the question that had existed in her heart for a long time.

Lucas’ eyes flashed as he looked at Savanna. His Adam’s apple rolled as he said, “Leo saved my life.

He came to me, and I couldn’t refuse him.”

It meant that Lucas saved Savanna to repay Leo’s kindness.

Hearing this, the smile on Savanna’s face widened. She asked, “Then why did you marry me?”

Lucas couldn’t stand Savanna’s questioning, so he directly said, “Savanna. A man wants to marry a woman because of love. I love you, so I married you.”

Savanna stared at Lucas’ evasive eyes, and the smile on her face slowly faded away. Savanna said with certainty, “You don’t like me. Did you marry me because I was Brandon’s ex-wife?”

“No,” Lucas answered without thinking.

Savanna stared at Lucas for a long time and said, “Lucas, I am very grateful that you helped me, but I don’t like to be used by others. If you have someone you like, I think we’d better be a nominal couple.”

Lucas no longer averted his gaze but stared intently at Savanna. He said, “Are you blaming me for not calling you during this period?”

“No,” Savanna replied.

Lucas said, “You do. You look unhappy, Savanna, L&S Limited has a hard time. You know that the reason why I didn’t call you is that you have been with Brandon. He is my brother, but he is also your ex-

husband. You two were once married for two years. You have a child. You went on a business trip to Ireland with him. Did you tell me?”

Savanna lell that Lucas’ words were ridiculous. She said, “Lucas, I went on a business trip with him because of work, and I feel that my relationship with him has become a thing of the past. You also knew that Brandon asked me to work

1/3

in his company because he had ulterior motives, but you agreed without hesitation. I work in the same place as him, so it’s inevitable for me to come into contact with him or go on a business trip. I thought you wouldn’t mind.”

Lucas patted his chest and shouted angrily, “I am a man! How can I not mind? I am doing this for the sake of L&S Limited’s future. I suffered a lot!”

Savanna took out her phone and showed a photo to Lucas.

Lucas lowered his head. It was a picture with the background of a bar. With his back to the camera, Lucas was sitting at the dim bar counter. The woman’s hand that touched his waist was fair. The wisp of hair that floated around his fingertips, as well as the lipstick print on the collar of his white shirt, was ambiguous.

Lucas’ expression changed. He snatched Savanna’s phone and quickly deleted the photo.

The light in Savanna’s eyes gradually dissipated, and her eyes gradually became cold. She said, “Lucas, you don’t have to do this.

“I can’t give you what other women can give you. You have the right to love them without hiding. But I don’t like to be cheated.”

Lucas scratched his hair in frustration. He said, “No, it’s a fake photo. That man’s back is just similar to mine.”

Savanna thought, really? Could it be that the mole beside your ear is similar to his?

Savanna did not ask any further and only said, “I will not move out. From now on, don’t enter my room again. Move all your things out.”

Seeing Savanna was so determined, Lucas was regretful. He begged, “Savanna, I don’t like her. You never let me touch you. I also have a man’s physiological needs. I don’t like them.”

“But they can comfort your loneliness.”

Savanna smiled lightly and added, “I don’t care whether you like them. Anyway, we’d better be a nominal couple.”

Lucas gritted his teeth and said, “Alright! As long as you don’t move out, anything is fine.”

He was the one who should say sorry, after all. Lucas, who was used to being wild, gradually lost his patience after being rejected many times by Savanna. Savanna went on a business trip with Brandon and did not tell him. That night, Lucas was so angry that he went to the bar to drink. The tall woman took the initiative to talk to him. When Lucas was drunk, he could not resist the temptation and made love with that woman.

After that, his desire, which had been sleeping for a long time, came back to his life again. When Savanna was on a business trip, Lucas slept with at least several women.

Lucas thought that no one knew it, but he did not expect Savanna to know.

Savanna pursed her red lips, not wanting to pay any more attention to Lucas. When Savanna walked past Lucas, Lucas grabbed Savanna’s hand and said, “You said that you have given up on Brandon, but why didn’t you let me touch

you?”

Savanja did not know what to say.

Seeing Savanna’s calm face, Lucas was in extreme pain. He said, “We are legally married. Will you be fair to me if you remain chaste for him?”

Savanna did not directly answer Lucas’s question. She just said, “The person who married you is Stella, not me.

“You know better than me who Stella is. Even if I am in dire straits, I am not a substitute.”
