Chapter 1405: 1044: Overthinking

He gazed into the woman’s clear, bright eyes. It seemed he longed for her to say she loved him, because... deep inside, he had already been moved by her!

Yes, he had fallen for her.

But he hadn’t completely let go of what happened this time. That night, Easton Young was lying in a pool of blood and was taken back by the Easton Family.

Even though Lucas Knight hadn’t asked her since their return, afraid he wouldn’t be able to suppress his emotions and lash out at her, it didn’t mean he didn’t care in his heart.

"I love you."

Eva Nightingale followed his words and said it out loud.

Upon hearing this, he gave her a seemingly satisfied look. The next second, he pressed down tightly onto her, and Eva thought he was going to do something. Who would’ve thought he simply laid quietly on his side.

Two more hours passed before Eva got out of bed.

She washed up simply and came out of the bathroom.

"How is Charlotte Knight?" That day they said they’d bring someone to rescue her, but she hasn’t been seen yet. She’s very worried.

"I sent the Admiral to fetch her, but she refused to come back. Speaking of this, Madam, I want to ask you, why doesn’t she want to return?"

Lucas Knight leaned against the headboard, lit a cigarette, and looked at her for two seconds.

"This..." Eva was stunned for a moment, then spoke truthfully, "She was taken away for some days, and I haven’t seen her, so, I really don’t know why she doesn’t want to return..."

Eva spoke honestly.

"So that’s it..." Lucas Knight thought for a moment and didn’t ask Linda anymore.

It seemed he had a rough idea of the situation in his heart...

The villa was very large, decorated expansively, exuding a European palace style everywhere.

Priceless antiques could be seen everywhere indoors.

Because of his cleanliness obsession and the possibility of needing to stay here for a while to recover from injuries, he had people sanitize and clean the place overnight countless times before moving in.

The villa was also tidied up impeccably, with the floor covered in luxurious Persian Carpet.

It was equipped with a dressing room, not as large as the Lan Bay Elegance, but still very luxurious, and many top-made clothes were brought over, all in Eva Nightingale’s size, fitting perfectly.

Walking into the dressing room, there were neatly arranged gowns, shoes, and bags...

Those beautiful high heels were inlaid with top-grade diamonds and jewelry, which could be described as extravagant.

Eva glanced around, walked casually, and chose a white velvet long gown to wear.

Upon leaving the dressing room, she couldn’t help but sigh. This man was indeed generous with her.

"Young Madam, please come down for a meal." the maid greeted her courteously.

"Okay."

She nodded.

Although this time their argument was intense, and unexpectedly they made up, even sleeping harmoniously in bed, she always felt something was off. He was angry and hadn’t calmed down!

Eva held onto the ornate wooden spiral staircase as she descended.

Soon, she saw the exceptionally handsome man sitting in the living room, seemingly waiting for her.

The next second, his cold gaze met hers, and Eva was taken aback.

"Come down!" he commanded, dissatisfied with her guilty, daydreaming demeanor.

Eva obediently walked down.

Heading towards the living room.

She pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Is your injury okay?" she looked at him, dressed in a black checkered robe.

"It’s fine." He could still hold her, nothing much the matter.

He just didn’t know what prompted her concern...

Was it love?

Was it responsibility?
