80: Chapter 80 This Isn’t Bullying, It’s Love
80 -80 This Isn’t Bullying, It’s Love
Serena Summers walked over and hugged Lucas Shaw’s arm, burying her little face deeply in the crook of his elbow as she rubbed against it.
It was like she was acting spoiled.
Such a gesture, to a mature man, was nothing short of provocative.
Lucas Shaw’s eyes darkened as he reached out to grasp Serena Summers’ wrist.
With a long stretch of his arm, he pulled her into his embrace.
“Serena, we’re discussing serious matters, stop fooling around.”
Serena Summers looked up blankly, her eyes meeting the man in front of her.
She wasn’t fooling around.
She was sure she was discussing serious matters, too.
Lucas Shaw let out a helpless sigh, his inscrutable and shadowy eyes lingered on Serena Summers’ clear and bright eyes for a moment, before he averted his gaze.
During this period of observation, Lucas Shaw realized that although Serena Summers always talked about liking and loving, she didn’t quite grasp the concept of romance.
But it was understandable.
Serena Summers had lived in the mountains these years, with only her master and senior brother around, maybe nobody had ever taught her these things.
However, that was alright, as Lucas Shaw had plenty of patience to teach her what love meant.
He gently stroked Serena Summers’ soft hair, lightly placing his lips on the top of her head, his eyes revealing an unfathomable depth.
Serena Summers leaned in Lucas Shaw’s embrace with a puzzled expression, unaware of what had just occurred.
Weren’t they just talking about Evan Summers’ visit to the Shaw Family?
Why had the atmosphere suddenly become so strange?
“The person who splashed hot water has been detained, even if the Summers Family kneels before you, it won’t change anything.”
Just as Serena Summers was considering whether to speak up, Lucas Shaw’s deep and husky voice suddenly resonated from above her head.
There was a pronounced killing intent in his tone.
Serena Summers nodded vigorously, echoing in agreement: “Why should I be responsible for Grace Summers’ reputation?
I am the victim, and their moral blackmail won’t work on me.”
She wasn’t foolish.
If Serena Summers agreed to help Grace Summers, they would think she was eagerly trying to please the Summers Family.
Remembering the Summers Family’s odd way of thinking, Serena Summers felt it was highly likely that this would happen.
“You’re doing the right thing.
If you don’t want to see them, I can keep them occupied with some matters.”
Lucas Shaw continued to gently stroke Serena Summers’ soft hair.
“By the way, in two days it’s the engagement ceremony between the Parker Family and Grace Summers.
I had an evening dress tailored for you, do you want to see it?”
“I do!”
Serena Summers lifted her face from the man’s embrace, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Opening the gift box, Serena Summers couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Such a beautiful dress.
“Go try it on first, if it doesn’t fit, I’ll have it altered for you.”
Seeing Serena Summers’ joyful face, Lucas Shaw knew she loved the dress.
The dress was specially designed by the country’s top designer according to Serena Summers’ preferences.
He was very eager to see what Serena Summers would look like in this dress.
“You’re so good to me, hubby!”
Serena Summers pecked a kiss on the corner of his lips and rushed to the changing room with the gift box in her arms.
Roughly ten minutes later, the door of the changing room opened.
The girl slowly stepped out, dressed in a floor-length gown of pale violet.
The dress exuded subtle luxury and simple opulence, making her skin appear even more porcelain and delicate.
The bustier and cinched waist design outlined her figure vividly, with a hint of provocative sexiness.

The multi-layered skirt was adorned with tiny diamonds and exquisite patterns, extremely refined.
Lucas Shaw’s pitch-black pupils flashed with a hint of astonishment.
He knew Serena Summers was beautiful, but he didn’t expect that when she changed into an evening dress, she seemed to have shed her naïveté, leaving only seductive allure and a striking charm.
“Husband, do I look good?”
Serena Summers seldom wore this kind of evening dress, and upon seeing Lucas Shaw’s burning gaze, she felt somewhat bashful for a moment.
Blushing, she walked up to Lucas Shaw, looking at him expectantly.
Lucas Shaw stood up from the sofa, his eyes sweeping over the girl’s bare shoulders and enticing curves, then suddenly pausing.
“Beautiful.”
His eyelashes drooped, concealing the surging tempest in his eyes, his voice husky to the point of being unrecognizable.
“Really?”
Unaware of Lucas Shaw’s unusual behavior, Serena Summers embraced his arm as she always did and cooed softly, “Husband, you can’t lie to me!”
“I’m not lying, you look beautiful,” Lucas Shaw murmured softly.
His eyes half-closed, they crashed into Serena Summers’ clear gaze.
His eyes, black as onyx, were filled with fragmented light.
Impulsively, Lucas Shaw stretched out his thumb and gently caressed the corner of Serena Summers’ eye with a tender and lingering touch.
Her eyes were the most beautiful he had ever seen.
He never knew that a pair of eyes could one day move him so deeply.
A restlessness like giant waves rolled within him, brewing a formidable storm.
The man’s sexy Adam’s apple bobbed under Serena Summers’ gaze as he leaned down slowly and kissed the corner of her eye.
“Change out of this dress, okay?
I’ll help you pick out a new one, okay?”
The man’s lips gently landed on the corner of her eyes and trailed down, finally resting on the corner of her lips.
Serena Summers was his unique treasure, and he would not allow anyone else to covet her.
Wearing this dress to the party, she would surely be the center of attention.
Those men’s eyes would certainly be on her.
Just the thought of that scene made Lucas Shaw feel as if something was tearing wildly at his chest.
He even felt an urge to destroy everything.
Serena Summers had no idea what Lucas Shaw had actually said.
All she knew was that it felt as if a frisky rabbit had kicked inside her heart, causing it to thump wildly.
The man’s kisses were tender and lingering, his breath carrying his distinct and pleasant scent.
Serena Summers couldn’t help but have her breathing disrupted.
The man cast his eyes down, observing all her expressions, his lips slowly curving into a satisfied smile.
The next second, under Serena Summers’ confused gaze, the man slowly extended his palm to cradle the back of her head, his kiss landing on her lips.
Looking at the magnified handsome face so close to her own, Serena Summers’ mind went blank for a moment.
The man began gently and tenderly, unlike anyone else.
Slowly, his actions turned urgent and assertive.
Serena Summers couldn’t help but whimper, feeling her breath start to constrict.
She frowned and reached out to push against the man’s chest.
Reluctantly releasing the girl in his arms, Lucas Shaw’s dark eyes were tinged with a layer of desire.
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.”
Lucas Shaw gently stroked the girl’s flushed cheeks, the smile on his lips especially content.
Serena Summers’ eyes were slightly red, and her soft lips were now somewhat swollen.
Gleaming seductively under the light, they seemed to silently beg for picking.
“You’re bullying me.” Serena Summers’ eyes, brimming with protest, glared at the culprit in front of her.
“This isn’t bullying; it’s love.”
Lucas Shaw’s palm tenderly stroked the girl’s hair, his lips curved in a smile as he gazed down adoringly, just like a hunter luring his prey willingly into the trap.
