Chapter 2982: Chapter 172: You Don’t Love Me at All (1)

He simply placed her on the sofa, then sat across from her, his dark piercing eyes staring as he spoke: "Now there’s no one else here, tell me, Debby, what exactly are you avoiding."

Clearly, Ben Lucas wanted to have a proper talk with Harrison Lucas.

Meanwhile, he also needed to consider whether or not to lay all the facts on the table. If Harrison Lucas hadn’t thought in that direction, maybe he should keep that matter a secret.

Harrison Lucas didn’t expect Ben Lucas to ask this. Her tear-streaked face showed a trace of surprise, but then she laughed: "You’re asking why I’m avoiding it? Mr. Lucas, the one avoiding isn’t me, it’s you. At least I have the courage to face my heart, but you... you’re only using me as a shield, not even daring to confront your own feelings."

There’s those three words ’shield’ again.

Ben Lucas was extremely clever; if he was too busy to think when rushing her back from the airport, then now, simply seeing Harrison Lucas’s state, the man already had some answers.

Originally, he was already considering continuing to hide things from Harrison Lucas and carry out his plan.

But now, he suddenly realized that Harrison Lucas’s misunderstanding might be deeper than he anticipated.

Ben Lucas’s deep eyes firmly fixed on Harrison Lucas, his expression focused and serious: "Debby, tonight outside that restaurant, you saw me meet with my darling."

Darling... what an intimate term.

Harrison Lucas’s dark and bright eyes were momentarily silent like the Dead Sea.

She didn’t want to dwell too much in sadness, nodded: "Yes, I saw it. I saw you take out a diamond ring to propose to her. You like her, don’t you? Because you like her, cherish her, you want to be with her. She is the person you truly care about...

So, for her sake, you want to cancel the engagement with Miss Molly. But if you do it directly, it might make Mr. Lucas and Madam resent the girl you really like. To make sure they don’t dislike her, you used me as a shield."

Harrison Lucas truly didn’t want to continue ’performing’ anymore, boldly gathering the courage to speak her mind completely: "Mr. Lucas, you don’t need to go through the trouble of concealing anymore. I, Harrison Lucas, said this life I’m yours, I can do anything for you. You... if you need, don’t even have to bother acting with me, just tell me, and I will cooperate."

She still liked Mr. Lucas after all.

Liked him in every possible way.

She liked him as the most admired dream, liked him as the most reliable Master, and also liked him as... as a man she loves.

In the past, Harrison Lucas never knew the taste of love, yet in this short period, she finally experienced the flavor of love.

Turns out love isn’t just sweet, it’s also so tart.

"You’re right..." Ben Lucas’s cold voice sounded, seemingly confirming Harrison Lucas’s words.

Upon hearing this, Harrison Lucas’s dim eyes blinked, and this time, she held back her tears.

However, in the next moment, her lowered gaze was suddenly covered by a shadow.

Harrison Lucas instinctively lifted her eyes, but the man sitting across from her had already come to her front.

Startled, Harrison Lucas hadn’t reacted yet, but Ben Lucas had already kneeled on one knee before her.

The man’s big hand lifted hers, and under Harrison Lucas’s astonished gaze, he kissed the back of her hand: "Debby, you’re right, you truly are mine for life, Ben Lucas."

Turns out, this was the meaning he wanted to express.

Seeing this Ben Lucas, Harrison Lucas was momentarily dazed.
