Time for truth
‘Oh yeah, my dear lovely lioness! Just wait and watch I will catch you.’
Lucas whispered to himself while smirking as he licked his lips and halted in front of the mirror, which was on the wall near to the staircase.
“Hella handsome!”
His reflection assured him of the capabilities he could use on his beloved wife.
[Later on that day | In the hospital]
“Hello, uncle!”
Lucas deliberately waved to the old man from a reasonable distance when Nathalie hugged her dad tight enough to make sure any of his wound hurt more.
“Owh! Are you trying to kill me yourself because somehow I have survived, huh?”
The old man winced and shouted to her, clearly none of them present in that room was happy about anything.
“How can you assume something like that, dad? Don’t you love me anymore now? How are you doing?”
Nathalie deliberately played that card since he could expect any the Lancaster people.
And she did not want that anyone among them would record her rude behaviour to create a scandal, thus she played her role of an obedient daughter. Although Lucas had already seen through her facade and played along.
Sure, Boris was still handsome in his fifties or maybe more, with grey-silver hair around his temples, not so wrinkled face and slender figure with handsome features. Nathalie had already assumed that he remained popular with girls once in his youth.
Well the thought also made her fearful that what if some day somebody popped up claiming to be her brother or sister, of course being a man-whore no one knew where Boris had left his seeds and how many!?
Although no wonder Nathalie had inherited his charms, which was a bonus but her sharp brain was perhaps from grandpa Lancaster.
“Better, much better after seeing you both getting along well.”
He looked at both of them with sarcasm laced tone, since Lucas was only a mere servant and Boris wanted to take revenge of his insult from that day.
“Let’s go home, dad.”
Nathalie knew that the so called old man was weak to walk all by himself. There was his assistant to aid him but Lucas intentionally insisted to help. He knew what Nathalie was trying to pull that’s why he wanted to ease her, they both were aware of the paparazzi too.
“Wrap up your arm around my shoulder, sir. I will help you get up.”
Boris groaned with disgust but he had to comply since it was his father’s (Grandpa Lancaster’s) command. Thus, he followed whatever Lucas suggested.
[After reaching home]
Lucas helped her dad to exit from the hospital, he was such a gentleman and it wasn’t just for a show off for some time, the man was indeed a squishy pie. He also helped him throughout the lounge as Boris seated himself into the cozy sofa. As soon as he settled himself, Lucas put off his shoes with a grin and tossed them over.
Boris could sense that there had been something wrong with that man, but somehow he could not figure it out. And in that moment he felt that Lucas had been oozing some dangerous aura, which made him gulp as he seated himself besides Boris.
And after witnessing him playing along with Nathalie, an unknown sensation crept into his heart. Lucas’ behaviour had suddenly turned 180 degrees, how could he not notice!?
“You must be hungry uncle? And I’m sure bored with hospitals food too.”
Lucas began with a smirk while Nathalie stood in the lounge waiting for her grandpa. She wanted to leave immediately after showing him that she did what he ask.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Though her dad didn’t interfere into her work nor did he ever keep an eye on her strategies, since Boris was never interested in the business. But grandpa Lancaster had always wanted an heir, thus he was the only one guiding her and was her sole mentor.
Boris became equally shocked after seeing his behaviour, but then smile assuming that Lucas had been asking him out of his job as man servant
Meanwhile grandpa arrived and they both remained sitting there listening to old Lancaster and Boris, it was the moment when Nathalie overlooked Lucas from head to toe for the first time.
As she was seated in front of him the lady could see him clearly, he had been leaning elbows on his both knees and his fingers laced. He was handsome nd Nathalie confessed in her heart that probably he was the most stunning man she ever came across.
Or perhaps the only man who caught her attention by disobeying her numerous times.. Moreover she didn’t know why she was being attracted to him, or his ways. The way he was treating her___behaving rebellious….. had been making her curious about his nature.
“Nat, why don’t you make something for all of us today? Lucas always cooks, why don’t you feed your husband today, honey?”
She was busy with her thoughts when grandpa pulled her out from her weird fantasy she had about Lucas. Her heart ran wild after hearing ‘feed Lucas’ since her mind had been running somewhere else.
“Okay grandpa, sure.”
She replied happily and headed towards the kitchen, leaving Lucas dumbfounded yet happy once again.
“How about pasta?”
The lady paused and asked the men in half way.
“Yes, sure sweetheart. I would love pasta if it’s made by you. I’m sure you know how to cook really delicious.”
Lucas praised her and she felt instant butterflies within her.. He smile while facing her and then laughed wholeheartedly with ‘something’ in his eyes which made Nathalie uncomfortable.
He sure had a confusing yet bitter sweet personality.
Nathalie had been feeling awkward ever since his arrival in her life, as she had never felt any committed relationship like that. It was like a tingling sensation whenever he looked at her, specially with that ‘something’ gaze.
Nathalie forced a smile to hide her nervousness.
“I’m flattered, honey. Now excuse me, please.”
And she hurriedly crept out of the lounge to calm the volcano of strange sensations within her.
‘What exactly I want? I… I have to tell him the truth before he gets seriously indulged within me.’
Nathalie ha decided to tell her the utmost truth of her life.
Something which even none of her family members had known!
