Chapter 266 Lucas’s Confession

Summer asked, “Why did you pick this place?

Lucas thought, Is she still uncomfortable because of the memory of booking this restaurant for her ex–boyfriend?”

“My apologies. I just thought this was where we first met. If it makes you uncomfortable, we can change the place.”

Summer waved her hand. “It’s okay, it’s all in the past.”

She had completely moved on from Trevor.

Soon the waiter brought out plate after plate of exquisitely prepared food.

The smell of fish made Summer nauseous, and she instinctively gagged.

Now, my sensitivity to smells had improved, but seafood, especially fish, was still unbearable

Lucas looked concerned. “Is there something you don’t like?”

Summer swallowed hard. “I need to use the bathroom first”

After composing herself in the bathroom, Summer slowly walked out to find Lucas waiting at the door, holding out a warm, damp towel.

She took it and wiped her hands before smiling faintly.

“Mr. Lucas, has anyone ever told you how thoughtful you are?”

Lucas looked at her with soft eyes, his tone playful. I rarely dine with women, and men certainly don’t compliment me on my thoughtfulness. You’re the first.”

I couldn’t say it was because of the pregnancy.

The meal was pleasant enough. Lucas recommended three potential candidates to the Stewart group.

As they neared the end, Lucas poured Summer a glass of warm water and casually asked, “Summer, why leave Havenbrook? If something’s bothering you, maybe I can help.”

“Mr. Lucas, you have helped me many times,”

Lucas‘ deep. gentle eyes held hers, his lips curving into a tender smile.

You’re being too formal. I’ve asked you before not to call me ‘Mr. Lucas. If you don’t mind, you can call me Lucas.”

Summer hesitated

I’d rarely met men like him. Cultured, refined, distinguished in manner.

Since I’d met Lucas, he’d treated everyone with the same courtesy and humility, never looking down on others despite his status. I hadn’t thought much of it before.

But not a woman’s intuition pricked me.

Summer’s grip on her glass tightened. She bit her lip. Tm sorry”
