Chapter 242 Lucian
A few days ago, Lucian had just taken a two-month break, and he decided it was time to go after Nancy.
This time, he was all in!
"Lucian, while you were away, let me fill you in. Miss Hawkins has been doing well. She's had a few guys try to get close, but she's turned them all down. She's still pretty wary of men," someone said, trying to butter Lucian up.
This guy was the one Lucian had hired to keep tabs on Nancy, especially her love life.
"Thanks for keeping an eye on things, Alaric," Lucian said.
"No problem at all. It's an honor to work for you!"
"By the way. I think there's one more thing I'd like to bring it up."
"Go ahead."
"Miss Hawkins went to a charity auction last week and seemed to take a liking to a guy named Charles. He's a junior at Lacus Magnus University, but he's not your average student. A few days ago, the Syeattel police caught an international fugitive with Charles's help. He took down eight thugs on his own. Plus, this guy's got a complicated background and some serious cash. He spent a ton at the auction. And get this, he's actually the ultra-rich Mr. Smoke from the internet. I even saw Miss Hawkins personally applying medicine to Charles that day!" Alaric reported in detail.
"Mr. Smoke? Who's Mr. Smoke?" Lucian frowned.
Given his lifestyle, he didn't bother with online gossip.
But after Alaric explained a bit, he got it!
Nancy was interested in a student, which was a first.
That Charles, a student, could take down eight thugs, and Lucian knew the international fugitive among them!
Charles handling that fugitive meant his combat skills were no joke!
But Lucian didn't care. He figured if he had been there, he could've taken on the eight thugs too!
While Lucian and Alaric were talking, a convoy finally pulled up. Holding a bouquet of roses, Lucian went to greet them.
Nancy stepped out of the car!
Seeing Nancy, Lucian's face lit up with a smile.
Nancy was still stunning, dressed in her police uniform.
Then, after Nancy got out, a guy from the back seat stepped out too!
Honestly, it would've been fine if Lucian just saw them sitting in the back seat together, but he actually saw them getting out of the car, holding hands!
That was just too much.
Actually, it was kind of a coincidence. Just as the car pulled up, Nancy mentioned she wanted to check on Charles's hand injury.
After taking a look, she was shocked to see that Charles's hand had healed in just a few days, with only a faint scar left. The speed of his recovery was insane!
She had thought it would take at least half a month for such an injury to heal. Who knew it would almost be good as new in just a few days!
Nancy even started to wonder if Charles's body was something special.
Now, Lucian was fuming! He had always seen Nancy as the future bride of the Mitchell family, his woman.
Even though they weren't engaged yet, he always thought their marriage was just a matter of time.
And now, Nancy was with another guy right in front of him?
Where was the respect for the Mitchell family?
Though Lucian was boiling inside, he kept his cool and walked over to Nancy. "Nancy, it's been over a month since I last saw you. These roses are for you. I might not be great at romance, but I hope you like them!"
Hearing Lucian's words, Charles narrowed his eyes, sizing Lucian up. From his build, Charles could tell Lucian was strong and had a dangerous vibe.
Plus, Lucian's straight posture suggested he might have been in the military.
With just one look, Charles had pretty much figured out Lucian's background!
At the same time, Lucian was checking him out too, but he didn't sense any danger from Charles. In fact, he thought Charles looked kind of scrawny. He couldn't wrap his head around how Charles had taken down eight thugs.
"I'm sorry, Lucian, but I can't accept these flowers," Nancy said.
"It's just a bouquet. Please take it. If you don't, I'll feel embarrassed!"
"Lucian, don't do this. Didn't I make it clear to you last time?" Nancy said, feeling a bit uneasy.
If it were any other suitor, she would have just turned them down. But this was Lucian, and given his family, she had to cut him some slack.
Even though she hadn't completely fallen for Charles, she didn't want him to think she had something going on with other guys!
"Are you not taking my flowers because of him?" Lucian said, raising his right hand and pointing at Charles.
That was a super rude move, and instantly, the tension skyrocketed!
