Chapter 427: I Can''t Waste Your Efforts.


    Even though Jen was so obviously thirsty. She reigned in her impulses and brought out the food she had gotten as she was on her way to get Lucas. Lucas looked at the food she brought back and sat at the dining table and looked at her with his head in his hands.


    Jen neatly arranged the food on two tes and brought them to the dining table. She ced a te in front of Lucas as she too sat down next to him to have her meal.


    She had eaten nothing that day as she had been busy packing her belongings for when she was travelling.


    "Aren''t you going to eat?" she asked him when she noticed he had just been staring at her.


    "Mmmh, I am," Lucas said with a suggestive smile. Jen had already picked up her fork of food but paused from how distracting his gaze was. He was trying to entice her, wasn''t he?


    "Hurry up and eat," Jen said and turned back to her te and started eating. Lucas chuckled when he faintly saw her reddened cheeks. He also started eating when he saw her eat deliciously. Lucas continued to observe her and saw that she had lost some weight again.


    He had only been gone for a few weeks and she had already lost weight. It was not as much as when she was working on Leanna''s wedding, but he still noticed the difference in her weight.


    If he knew that she had already started gaining her weight back, he would have taken the situation more seriously.


    Lucas felt like in the first time in a while he could finally enjoy the vour of food. Jen also felt like the food tasted much better than when she ate when she was not with him.


    During this period of time, she had missed him like crazy. She realised just how much he meant to her, and how he had crept into her life and her heart without her knowing.


    With their appetites back, the two finished their food quickly. Jen wanted to go do the dishes but Lucas stopped her.


    "You must be tired after your flight, you go freshen up first then we can restter," Lucas said as he snatched the tes out of her hands.


    "Okay," Jen said and watched Lucas go into the open kitchen. When Lucas looked up, he saw that she was still staring at him.


    "Aren''t you going?" he asked her, and Jen nodded before turning around and going to his room. She quickly unpacked her luggage, which took less time than when she was deciding on what she was going to take with her. After she was done, she took off her jewellery and left the walk-in closet.


    When she got out, she saw Lucas was already sitting on the bed with his phone in his hand, absentmindedly unbuttoning his shirt. A good amount of skin was already showing and Jen was already gazing at him. Lucas lifted his face to look at her, and Jen averted her gaze.


    "Are you going to shower?" he asked her and even stopped unbuttoning his shirt.


    "Yeah," Jen said and swallowed heavily before she disappeared behind the bathroom doors. Lucas smiled ambiguously before he continued to unbutton his shirt. He had to finish with the emails before he could do anything, anyway.


    Since he had explicitly told Martin that he would not be working for the next two days, whatever he received was already filtered by his assistant. There wasn''t much, and it had already been summarized, so he just had to take a brief look at them before typing out his replies on the course of action that had to be taken.


    When he was almost finished with his task, Jen walked out of the bathroom wearing a robe and her hair wrapped in a towel. Lucas looked up and saw her flushed face from the warm shower before smiling at her.


    "You can go ahead," Jen said and vaguely pointed to the bathroom before rushing into the walk-in closet. Lucas quickly replied to thest email and got up and walked into the bathroom while shrugging off his shirt. If Jen saw this action, she would have been swallowing her saliva.


    Jen busily blow-dried her hair and tied it up in a messy bun before she started deciding on what she wanted to wear. She took her time rummaging through her clothes before finally deciding on a barely-there nightie and wore a robe over it.


    Lucas walked out of the bathroom while wearing a robe and wiping his hair with a towel. He was expecting Jen to have already finished with getting ready for bed, but the spacious room was still empty.


    She could still hear the faint sound of her rummaging for things in the dressing room, so he just walked to the bed and sat on it. Covering his lower body while leaning on the backrest and absentmindedly drying his hair with the towel.


    Just as he picked up his phone again, Jen walked out of the closet wearing a silk robe that showed off her beautifully shaped legs.


    Lucas ced the phone he had just picked up back on the side table and had all of his attention on her. When Jen started walking towards the other side of the bed, Lucas called out to her.


    "Jen,e here," he said as he beckoned her with his hand.


    Jen looked at him with confusion in her eyes but she still heeded to his call and walked towards him. Lucas'' eyes held a mysterious light as he watched her walk towards him.


    "Come here," Lucas said and patted hisp, meaning to tell her to get on hisp.


    "What do you mean?" Jen asked and hesitated.


    "Are you going to keep making me wait?" Lucas asked and pulled her so she was standing close to him. Jen was not given the chance to answer the question before her lips got devoured by him. Lucas bit her lips and hungrily licked the inside of her mouth. Jen felt her legs go weak and leaned against the bed.


    "Let''s not waste time, hm?" Lucas said, his minty breath fanning her lips. Jen swallowed nervously as she looked into his hazel eyes.


    "Come here," Lucas said again. And this time, Jen did not resist and got on the bed, straddling him in the process.


    "Did you prepare another surprise for me?" he asked her as his fingers toyed with thepel of her robe. Jen''s face automatically flushed as she thought of what she had decided to wear underneath the robe.


    "I think you did," Lucas said with a chuckle and ced both hands on her waist.


    "Should we turn off the lights?" Jen asked, her guts left herpletely, and she was not as courageous as she was before.


    "I can''t waste your efforts, miss Larson," Lucas said with a chuckle and squeezed her soft bum in his hands.


    "Why don''t you show me what you prepared?" Lucas asked her with a raised eyebrow. He had always taken off her robes for her if she ever prepared a surprise for him.


    It was the mentality of personally unwrapping your gifts. But today he was asking her to do it herself. She could not help but feel flustered.


    "You can see for yourself if you are curious," Jen said as she bit her bottom lip. When has she ever done this with him?


    "I think it''s better if you show me," Lucas insisted, and Jen breathed out a helpless sigh. It''s not like they can banter like this for the rest of the night. She would eventually need to get undressed.


    "Can you show me first?" Jen asked him and a sly smile appeared on his lips. Who else can im that they have missed the view of his body more than she did?


    "I can show you, but you see, I''m not wearing anything under this," Lucas said and tugged at the belt of the robe, and Jen watched as if she was in a trance as the robe fell open. She could see nothing underneath because she was sitting on it.


    "You must take responsibility, miss Larson," Lucas said and watched Jen''s eyes dte as she looked at him. He was sure if he slipped his hand between her legs, his fingers would get soaked. He was very familiar with the look in her eyes. She had looked at him like this on quite a number of asions.


    "I showed you mine, will you show me yours now?" Lucas asked her as he tilted his head in inquiry. Jen hesitated a bit before untying the silk robe she was wearing and heard the sound of Lucas take in a deep breath.
