Chapter 411

Therefore, he was worried that she would do something outlandish again.

“I’m not going to tell you.” Ashlyn yawned. “I’m sleepy.”

“Are you planning on returning to the fold and wiping out the London underworld again?” Frowning, Lucas’ expression became solemn because he was worried.

As she blinked her eyes and fluttered her eyelids, she gave him a puzzled look. Since when did his imagination start to run wild?

Me? Returning to the fold? He makes it sound like I’m some legendary martial artist.

Meanwhile, Lucas stared at her sternly. “Ashlyn, I’m warning you, don’t do anything dangerous.”

Ashlyn snorted, “What makes you think I’m going to do something like that?”

Rolling her eyes, she quipped, “Time for bed.”

Lucas’ grave expression eased a little as he looked at her with concern, “You’re really not doing it?”

Ashlyn was stunned as she felt her heartstring being tugged. Is he worried about me?

How is that possible?

Ashlyn slapped his hand away forcefully before walking towards the guest room. “I’m not! I’m not!”

Lucas couldn’t help but smile as he closed his laptop and followed her upstairs.

At that moment, Lilian walked out of the kitchen and saw the smile on Lucas’ face.

Her eyes widened in surprise at the sight in front of her, with her heart thumping wildly in her chest.

Mr. Nolan never smiles.

This was the first time she saw him smiling, and he looked dashing. As if she was possessed, she stood there spacing out for a long time.

The butler happened to walk past and saw Lilian staring longingly at Lucas’ silhouette.

Frowning, he said, “Lilian, please know your place. Mr. Nolan is our employer, so don’t start having unrealistic ideas about him.”

Standing there, Lilian gave the butler an upset look. “If he marries me and I become the mistress of the house, I will definitely promote you and increase your salary. Don’t you want that? Besides, Mr. Nolan treats me really well. When I was almost sold off to work in the red-light district, it was he who saved me while passing by. Therefore, I am special to him.”

The butler’s gaze turned grave as he frowned at Lilian. “Don’t think I don’t know what you are up to.

Lilian, we are Mr. Nolan’s servants. Furthermore, he loves Ms. Berry a lot, and she is the only one he keeps by his side all the time. If you dare do anything foolish to Ms. Berry, I would be the first to teach you a lesson.”

“Why do you insist on standing up for her? What kind of devilish charm does she have? I’m the one Mr.

Nolan likes the most.” Lilian replied angrily.

At that moment, a devious thought sprang to her mind. When I become Mrs. Nolan, I will fire you first, you old bugger.

“Lilian, let me remind you that you’re just a maid. Please don’t let your imagination run wild.” The butler glared at her coldly. “Mr. Nolan is a socialite and is worlds apart from you. Ms. Berry is the one that is compatible with him. Regardless of looks or charm, both of them are perfectly matched. I have never seen Mr. Nolan care so much for a lady. Therefore, Lilian, I’m telling you this for your own good.”

As she watched the butler walk away, resentment filled that pretty face of hers.

I am more suited to Mr. Nolan then Ms. Berry is!

If it’s not because of Ashlyn, Mr. Nolan would definitely love me, and only me.

Meanwhile, when Ashlyn was about the close the door behind her after entering the guest room, Lucas held up the door and squeezed in.

“Lucas, this isn’t your room.”

“The whole manor belongs to me, so I can sleep wherever I want.” Lucas couldn’t help but smile smugly.

He enjoyed teasing her very much.

Looking at the shadows cast by Ashlyn’s fluttering eyelashes under the dim light, he was struck dumbfounded by the alluring sight.

Leaning in, he gently kissed her eyelids.
