Bab 273: CREME BRULEE

"Lucas, why do you suspect Mr. Ronal? He only praised me, didn't mean anything else," said Ellena, feeling annoyed with Lucas' attitude that suddenly changed just because of a compliment from Ronald.

"In fact, he praised me in front of his wife. How do you suspect him like that," added Ellena when Lucas hadn't managed to respond.

"That's my reason, Elle. Even in front of me and in front of his wife he dares to say you're beautiful, what if we weren't there? Maybe he wouldn't just compliment you, but—"

"What?" concluded Ellena not giving Lucas a chance to continue his speech.

"I-I'm sure he—"

"Will tease me, will you?" Again and again Ellena cut Lucas' words with wide eyes, suddenly making Lucas' guts suddenly shrink. Yes, only Ellena was able to make Lucas like that.

"S-Honey, that's not what I meant. I just don't like it when other guys compliment your beauty. I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to upset you," Lucas said with a look of regret.
