Her Hidden Crowns (Suzanne and Austin) novel Chapter 406

Fortunately, Austin was now satisfied after sharing a kiss with Suzanne.

Suzanne pushed him away, smiling. Then, she looked toward Lucas and said to him politely, "Thank you, Mr. Jensley."

When Lucas picked his precious phone back up, Suzanne was already walking toward him. "What kind of photos did you have in mind?"

It was just some photos. She wasn't going to be that petty, unlike a certain man who would get mad over little matters.

Lucas' eyes lit up immediately. He nodded enthusiastically. "You're still the best, Suzanne."

He touched up Suzanne's lipstick as quickly as he could before photographing her while worrying that she'd change her mind.

As Austin looked back toward Suzanne, who was having her photos taken by Lucas, the iciness in his eyes had melted into a pool of tenderness.

Suzanne worked with Lucas to get a few photos taken. Thereafter, Lucas browsed through the photos. Feeling satisfied, he thanked her repeatedly.

After all was done, Suzanne directed her attention back toward Austin. In a gentle voice, she urged, "We should make a move, Mr. Hall."

They had to travel some distance. If they left now, they would arrive at approximately the right time.

Austin strode before Suzanne and crooked his arm. Suzanne smiled, lifted her arm, and linked arms with him.

Lucas walked the pair to the door joyfully. Waving at Suzanne, he said, "Come by more often when you're free, Suzanne."

She was such a gentle and beautiful woman while that friend of his, Austin, was just plain cold and aloof.

Gabriel, who had finished his tasks, was now waiting for the couple in front of the car. When he noticed the styled-up Suzanne, he was momentarily dumbfounded.

It was the frosty look that Austin gave him that snapped him back to his senses. He shuddered, then scrambled to open the back door of the car.

…

The banquet, held by the Fawley family for Micah's birthday, started two hours later. However, as Micah wasn't keen on making it a big celebration, he only invited some of his peers. He did not invite any of his elders.

As such, the banquet was held at his private estate instead of Fawley Residence.
