Chapter 2969: Chapter 159: Sleeping Alone, So Cold (4)

Ben Lucas took away the coffee in front of her and called the waiter to order a cup of milk.

With a deep voice, he said, "Since you’re not feeling well, don’t drink coffee. I’ve ordered you some milk. After you finish it, go back to the room and get some sleep. You’ll adjust the time difference in a few days."

Ordering her milk, he’s really treating her as a ’flat-chested’ child, isn’t he?

Harrison Lucas’s gaze uncontrollably glanced at the couples dining at nearby tables, seeing those elegant and alluring women, some drinking juice, some sipping coffee.

It seems, only she is here in the early morning, like a child, drinking milk.

However, Harrison Lucas didn’t dare to disobey Ben Lucas, so when the waiter brought the milk, she obediently drank it all.

"Good girl..." Ben Lucas reached out to wipe the foam of milk from her lips, his actions as gentle as they had been days before.

But now Harrison Lucas no longer dares to let her thoughts run wild.

If it were before, she might have thought the young master really liked her. But now she increasingly doubts the young master considers her as a ’brother,’ or a ’child.’

After all, her figure, compared to those women with curves, is just like a child’s.

Ben Lucas caressed Harrison Lucas’s head, while her black eyes drooped, her gaze dimmed, not daring to reveal her feelings.

She seemingly casually asked, "If I’m sleeping in the bedroom, and can’t accompany you, how will you manage alone? We rarely get to travel, wouldn’t it be boring?"

"It’s alright, I actually have other matters to attend to." Ben Lucas’s eyes paused briefly, though the unusual color in them quickly vanished.

But who is Harrison Lucas? She’s someone who’s been beside Ben Lucas for years, one might say she’s deeply connected to him.

In that fleeting moment, Harrison Lucas realized the young master was hiding something from her.

Ben Lucas said with a cold expression, "Recently, Royal Palace has some business here. I need to meet some people, and it’ll take a few days."

Harrison Lucas’s hand on her lap tightened slightly.

The young master never liked dealing with Royal Palace Group’s business, although sometimes during holidays, he’d help at Madam’s request.

But now, with Madam not here, why would he willingly take on Royal Palace business?

Moreover, when the young master brought her over here, he said this place was beyond Royal Palace’s influence, and not within Duke Redington’s domain.

His exact words were, they came here to avoid troublesome people.

So, there’s no way he would meet outsiders for Royal Palace business.

Harrison Lucas knew he was lying to her.

"Well, that’s good then. I was worried that if I slept, you’d be bored. This way, I can rest and deal with the time difference." Harrison Lucas forced a smile, speaking to Ben Lucas.

She tried her best not to let her emotions show, fearing that Ben Lucas would notice her inner sadness.

Ben Lucas smiled slightly, his eyes as dark as ink looking at Harrison Lucas, again messing with her short hair: "I’ll be back to have lunch with you..."

"No need, I ate a lot in the morning, I’m quite full. I want to sleep more... let’s have dinner together." Harrison Lucas instinctively refused, but fearing she might seem too obvious, she mentioned dinner.

To her surprise, Ben Lucas rejected, "Not tonight, I’ve made plans."

Harrison Lucas’s throat tightened, the bitter feeling surged once more.
