Chapter 2898 - 88: Failing the Husband’s Duty
Harrison Lucas’s mood instantly plummeted, his head drooping powerlessly, with an expression of worry on his handsome and aloof face.
The Young Master’s disdain for her was evident, almost undisguised.
Harrison Lucas didn’t know why things turned out this way.
Was it really because the food she cooked was too terrible?
Harrison Lucas was deeply dejected, not realizing that Ben Lucas didn’t actually know her true gender.
Ben Lucas liked her but always thought of her as a man, and thus was rather conflicted for a while before he had to accept the conclusion that he liked men.
Unbeknownst to Harrison Lucas, the person she regarded merely as a same-sex friend, Jennifer Connor, was seen by her Young Master as an exceptionally strong rival.
Ben Lucas had been sulking all day about what happened in the morning but couldn’t get a single explanation from Harrison Lucas, naturally making him unhappy.
Harrison Lucas was at a loss, completely clueless and stayed in the kitchen for ages, ultimately returning to her second-floor room in despair, not daring to provoke Ben Lucas, or even dare to appear before him.
She feared the Young Master would hate her even more, erasing even the slightest bit of affection.
And at this very moment, in the study room on the third floor.
Ben Lucas had been pacing back and forth all night from the desk to the doorway of the study room, and back to the sofa, then getting up to return to the desk.
Repeating this countless times, yet failing to wait for the person he wanted to see.
What on earth was Harrison Lucas doing downstairs?
Even cleaning up dishes and cutlery shouldn’t take this long.
’He’ danced with Jennifer Connor today, smiling so happily, even deciding to date.
Thinking about the sight of Harrison Lucas with another woman during the day, the depths of Ben Lucas’s black pupils radiated with coldness.
Little Debby likely actually likes gentle, sweet girls like Jennifer Connor.
’He’ was forced to change, forcibly bent straight, and barely accepted it.
Ben Lucas thought of Harrison Lucas’s absolute obedience, thought of ’his’ trembling eyelashes and dazed eyes when gently embraced and kissed by him, and this confirmed his assumption even more.
The more certain he was that Harrison Lucas didn’t really like him, nor men, the more restless he felt.
The usually calm and steady man inexplicably behaved like a teenage boy, actually fretting over someone.
As Ben Lucas stood up again and walked around the study room, he finally couldn’t resist and opened the door to walk out.
Wrapped in a cold aura, Ben Lucas walked to the stairway, intending to go downstairs to find Harrison Lucas for a proper talk.
Who would have expected that when he reached the stairway, he found the downstairs entirely dark.
After cleaning up the dishes and cutlery, Harrison Lucas not only didn’t come upstairs to find him, nor waited downstairs, but instead, turned off the lights and went back to his room to sleep!?
This revelation delivered a heavy blow to Ben Lucas’s cold-spirited pride.
He reached the stairway but turned back again, even though his heart was simmering with frustration, wishing to rush into Harrison Lucas’s room, drag ’him’ from the bed and confront ’him’, yet ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to take the initiative.
Clearly, the one cheating, flirting with other women was Harrison Lucas, why should he come to coax him, why should he go seek him out.
After all, Ben Lucas was a man of status and dignity, absolutely impossible to do something so humiliating.
With a sullen face, Ben Lucas returned to the bedroom, frustrated despite the winter cold.
To avoid thinking about Harrison Lucas, that ’unfaithful’, ’disloyal’ ’little boyfriend’.
Frustrated, Ben Lucas yanked off his tie and stepped into the bathroom to shower.
