nThe next morning, Cheyenne’s eyelashes moved slightly, and she, who had slept through the entire night, slowly opened her eyes.
n
n
nHowever, she didn’t wake up to the warm bedroom she was familiar with but a luxuriously decorated room completely new to her.
n
n
n
n
nCheyenne’s heart dropped. The last image she saw before losing her consciousness was the scene of her discussing the cooperation with Gordon Douglas of Heaven Media last night. After which, she downed a glass of champagne and then…
n
n
nHave I…
n
n
nNo!!!
n
n
nCheyenne’s expression changed drastically, and she screamed with her head in her hands!
n
n
n
n
nThe door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure hurriedly rushed in. “Cheyenne, what’s wrong?”
n
n
nHearing Lucas’s familiar voice, tears welled up in Cheyenne’s eyes, and she immediately jumped into his arms. She hugged him tightly and burst into tears.
n
n
nLucas hurriedly embraced Cheyenne in his arms and patted her back to comfort her. “It’s alright. Nothing happened to you. You accidentally took some strong sleeping pills, which is why you slept until now. Nothing else happened. Don’t be afraid.”
n
n
nAfter hearing this, Cheyenne finally returned to her senses from her extreme horror. She carefully sensed her body, and it seemed to be alright.
n
n
n
n
n“But… I remember Gordon Douglas and that glass of champagne…” Cheyenne suddenly shivered at the thought of that scene.
n
n
n“It’s okay. I rushed over yesterday and brought you home in one piece. That bastard Gordon Douglas will also be punished. You don’t need to be afraid anymore.” Lucas comforted Cheyenne warmly.
n
n
nIt was extremely normal for women to be flustered and terrified after encountering something like that.
n
n
nAfter being comforted by Lucas, Cheyenne slowly regained her composure. Only after a while did she realize that she was hugging Lucas tightly.
n
n
n“Ah.” Cheyenne hurriedly let go of him and turned away to wipe the tears off her face. She suddenly felt extremely embarrassed and shy. I actually took the initiative to jump into his arms and cry. How embarrassing!
n
n
nLooking at Cheyenne’s back, Lucas could see that her tiny ears were already red even though he couldn’t see her expression clearly.
n
n
n
n
nLucas burst into laughter and coughed. “Um, I brought you back here last night, and it wasn’t convenient for me to help you change out of your clothes. There’s a bathroom in the room and some women’s clothes in the closet. Go and take a shower, and then come have breakfast.”
n
n
nAfter saying this, Lucas went out and considerately closed the door after him.
n
n
nOnly after Lucas left did Cheyenne lift her hand and pat her warm cheeks while subconsciously smiling.
n
n
nCheyenne looked around the spacious and luxurious room and saw a huge floor-to-ceiling window with a balcony facing the south. To the east, there was a large closet the size of the wall.
n
n
nCheyenne leaped off the bed and opened the closet.
n
n
nTo her surprise, the closet was mostly filled with women’s clothes, and half of it was filled with clothes for little girls. There were very few men’s clothes.
n
n
nThe women’s clothes were all in her size while the children’s clothes were in Amelia’s size, all of which were exquisitely crafted and fashionable. Most of them were custom-made designer clothing by major luxury brands.
n
n
nThere was also a plethora of accessories such as handbags, shoes, hats, etc. It was simply a luxurious and impeccable closet that most women dreamed of owning!
n
n
n
n
nCheyenne suddenly figured out that all of this was prepared by Lucas for her and Amelia.
n
n
nIt turned out that Lucas had secretly prepared a lot of things by himself while she was clueless.
n
n
nPreviously, he wasn’t making empty promises when he swore that he would treat Cheyenne and Amelia well.
n
n
nFor some reason, Cheyenne suddenly felt her nose getting a little sore and a strong urge to cry.
n
n
nAfter showering, she changed into a light yellow dress and walked out of the room, only to be stunned speechless by the exquisite decor in the luxurious villa.
n
n
nThe stairs were made of pure crystal, and there was a spacious and lofty dome, a chandelier inlaid with colorful gemstones, and elegant and exquisite antique artifacts. The entire villa was as lavish and opulent as a beautiful palace.
n
n
nLooking at everything in astonishment, Cheyenne was suddenly at a loss for words.
n
n
nDoes all of this belong to Lucas?
n
n
n“All of this belongs to us and Amelia. This is our home,” Lucas said softly with a smile as he walked toward Cheyenne.
n
n
nCheyenne’s face once again reddened, and she glared at Lucas. “I’m not your family.”
n
n
nHowever, her flare wasn’t deterring or hostile. Instead, it was rather cute.
n
n
nLucas knew that Cheyenne would get shy easily, so he didn’t say anything else and brought her to the dining room.
n
n
nThe furnishings in the bright and open dining room were gorgeous and opulent. There was also a large floor-to-ceiling window facing outside, which allowed her to see the clear lake outside. The gentle breeze was blowing in slowly and caressing her face, making her feel relaxed and at ease.
n
n
n
n
nCheyenne saw that the table was covered in a snowy white tablecloth and a large spread of dishes on it.
n
n
nThere was fragrant porridge, sweet corn, fried eggs, crab sandwiches, and two glasses of milk.
n
n
nLucas pointed at the crab sandwich. “Sorry, I’m not good at making sandwiches, so these are store-bought and reheated. Don’t mind it.”
n
n
nCheyenne was even more shocked when she heard this. Pointing at the sumptuous breakfast spread, she asked, “You made all of this?”
n
n
nLucas nodded. “I don’t cook often, so my culinary skills are mediocre. Try them and see if they’re to your liking. If not, I’ll cook something else.”
n
n
nCheyenne was really speechless now.
n
n
nAfter seeing Lucas’s wealth, she originally thought that some servants or cooks had prepared breakfast. But to her surprise, Lucas cooked everything himself!
n
n
nA man who didn’t cook much actually whipped up a sumptuous feast for her. He was even worried that she might not like it and wanted to prepare a new set.
n
n
nShe was definitely touched.
n
n
nAt this moment, Cheyenne was overwhelmed with complicated emotions. She was feeling bittersweet.
n
n
n“Why are you doing all of this for me?” Cheyenne asked, sobbing.
n
n
nLucas smiled. “Because I like you, so I want to treat you well.”
n
n
nCheyenne had no idea that Lucas had been carrying a torch for her for more than six years.
n
n
nDuring his time in the army, Lucas managed to overcome those hardships and dangers time and time again because he kept himself going by thinking of Cheyenne until he reached where he was today.
n
n
nAfter six years, his feelings for her had turned into love.
n
n
nHe, the God of War Lucas Gray, was willing to do so much for Cheyenne all because of his love for her!
