Chapter 1179 - One thousand one hundred and seventy nine

"All right. Let's not mention him." Lucas tried to change the topic as he placed a fried lotus root on Carla's plate. "Carla, please try this."

"Do you even know how to make this?"

Carla was a little surprised as not many knew about her favorite food.

"I asked Venus what you liked to eat, and she told me this. That's why I learned it." Lucas smiled at Carla.

"It's hard to find good lotus root in Pillere and I've been purchasing it from another city. And finally, I'm able to make it successfully."

Carla took one bite and nodded right away. "It's delicious."

"I'm glad you like it." Lucas was utterly pleased. "I also know that you love rice balls in wine, so I'm still learning it."

"Thanks, Lucas." Carla was somehow touched.

"We're getting married soon. It is the least I should do for you." Lucas looked at her with a gentle gaze. "I'm happy as long as you're happy."

Carla lowered her head, without saying anything.

"Carla, don't move."

Just then, Lucas noticed a food stain on Carla's face, and he took a tissue and wiped it off her face.

Carla was stunned momentarily, sitting still.

Underneath the dim light, her beautiful face made Lucas' heart move as he leaned toward her.

Carla evaded him, but still, his lips touched her cheek gently.

At that moment, the two of them froze on the spot.

The next instance, Carla moved away from him.

Lucas' face was blushing red from anxiousness.

Carla furrowed her brows as she shifted her gaze away.

"I… I'm sorry."

Lucas choked on his words as he stood up to leave.

Staring at his panicking look and the delicious lunch on the table, Carla felt a rush of conflicting emotions.

Meanwhile, a maid outside saw Lucas run out nervously from Carla's room. She immediately went inside and called Lisa to inform her of the development.

"How long was he in there?" Lisa asked urgently.

"I was standing outside the entire time. Around eleven minutes, I guess, " The maid said.

"So fast?" Lisa was startled. "Then, did his clothes look neat when he came out?"

"Yes, it looked neat to me, " the maid started describing. "And his hair was tidy too. But his face was red, and he looked nervous."

Upon hearing that, Lisa was somewhat disappointed. "All right. Please continue to monitor them."

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Lisa let out a long sigh. "It looks like it's not working."

"But based on what the maid said, I suppose they've gotten closer to each other for a little." Just then, Marianne let out a smile. "So there's some development after all."

"They've hanging together for so long by now, and they're getting married soon. How could getting closer be considered as a development?" Lisa responded petulantly. "If Lucas got so nervous by just being closer to her, it meant they were not intimate at all until now."

Marianne lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"I think she's not into Lucas at all. She merely wants to use him." The more Lisa thought of it, the angrier she got. "What a fool Lucas is! It's just a one-sided relationship!"

"Yes, I've noticed that too." Marianne chose her word carefully. "Ms. Lierger seems uninterested with Lucas. It looks like she is deliberately keeping her distance."

"They've been hanging out for quite some time already. Even if there were no feelings initially, she should have a little affection for him by now." Lisa sounded displeased. "If she doesn't like Lucas, why did she agree to the marriage?"

"I heard that Mr. Lierger got into a crisis…" Marianne uttered in a low voice.

"I heard that too." Lisa furrowed her brows. "Maybe it's because Mr. Lierger is currently in deep trouble, so she wants to look for temporary refuge. If that's true, she might cancel the wedding once the former solved the crisis. What should Lucas do by then?"

"It's still too early to judge. There's still one month until the wedding. Who knows they will grow affection toward each other during this period?" Marianne tried to comfort her.

"That's why I've to get this done as soon as possible…
