Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1743

"I didn't intend to eavesdrop. I just wanted to ask when you'd be able to get out?"

Yasmeen felt quite embarrassed, especially since she had paused for a moment because she had heard Julian's name. She didn't expect that pause to be noticed by Lucas.

In fact, even if he had found out, it was fine. It was the name Julian that made her suddenly realize something.

Maybe Lucas knew that Julian had come to see her.

And he was looking into his identity. Did he suspect her too?

The thought of that made Yasmeen's face turn white.

Lucas withdrew his eyes and said indifferently, "It's nothing. Are you bored down there by yourself?"

"Yeah."

Yasmeen nodded. She had indeed come up here because she was bored, but she hadn't expected to hear any of this stuff.

"Just stay with me. I'll check something out. You can play by yourself."

Lucas didn't really care and continued to lower his head and start tapping away at the keyboard. But Yasmeen hesitated.

"I... I'd better go down, so as not to disturb your work."

Besides, she knew how confidential Lucas's work was.

If you love someone, don't be a burden to him, and don't indulge yourself in spoiling his bottom line and principles.

After saying this, Yasmeen quickly turned around and left without waiting for Lucas' reaction.

Lucas appreciated Yasmeen's attitude and practice but knew that Yasmeen must be feeling bad.

He suddenly stood up.

"Wait."

"What?"

Yasmeen tensed up at once.

He wasn't going to question her about Julian, was he?

Yasmeen's palms were suddenly sweating.

She watched as Lucas slowly walked towards her, and it was as if he carried an intimidating pressure that made her subconsciously want to take a step back. But Lucas took her hand and whispered, "I'll go down and make you something to eat. When you are bored alone, you can have some."

"Huh?"

Yasmeen suddenly froze.

What the hell?

Something to eat?

Hadn't they just finished eating for an hour or so?

What were they going to eat again?

Lucas, however, ignored Yasmeen's astonishment and took her by the hand, and went downstairs.

Yasmeen was completely pulled down with butterflies in her stomach and couldn't tell what she was feeling.

There were times when she wanted to tell Lucas that she didn't really know him well, but then she bit back the words.

Lucas didn't ask, and if she confessed of her own accord, a lot of things would have to be revealed.

Since she had chosen not to say anything, she couldn't say anything now, either.

Yasmeen bit her lower lip and frowned.

"Have a seat on the sofa."

Lucas sat Yasmeen down on the sofa while he went to the kitchen.

Yasmeen didn't know what he was going to cook, but she was a little worried.

Julian was actually being targeted by Lucas.

Usually, people who were targeted by Lucas couldn't get away with it.

But if he found out about Julian, wouldn't her deal with his master be exposed?

Should she give Julian a heads up?

Yasmeen's mind went completely blank.

Lucas entered the kitchen for a moment and then brought out several puddings and jellies, all homemade.

Yasmeen's eyes were dazzled by these and she couldn't help but ask, "You made these?"

Lucas took a closer look at the places where he had worked half-time during his university years, and it was nothing more than coffee shops and restaurants. But how could such industries, which were already stretched to pay for his university fees, possibly leave him with spare cash to make his family rich?

So there must be something that they had overlooked and hadn't investigated.

But Julian had come into contact with too many people during that time, and it was a bit unrealistic to try to investigate them one by one.

Lucas's investigation was at a dead end.

Who was the master behind Julian?

Was it someone he had hooked up with during his college years?

Lucas's brows were furrowed tightly together.

He didn't want to think about what he couldn't figure out for the moment either. Cleaning up the traces of his computer, Lucas switched it off and went downstairs. His anxious eyes instantly calmed down when he saw Yasmeen eating his hand-made pudding with gusto.

"Is it delicious?"

"Yes. You're so awesome. I can't believe you can even make this."

Yasmeen ate it at first just to make herself feel better, but she couldn't stop after one bite.

Lucas was just amazing!

He could even make desserts!

As Yasmeen ate, Lucas walked over to her, reached out, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with his fingers, then said dotingly, "Eat slowly. It's all yours. No one will steal it from you."

It was just a careless gesture, but it still made Yasmeen blush.

"Got it."

She hurriedly lowered her head to eat the pudding, feeling that she was even a little unlike herself.

Lucas, however, chuckled and went to the bathroom, then pulled his dried shirt out of the washing machine and put it on before getting up and walking out.

"When you're done eating, let's go out for a stroll, and then you can pick out some clothes for me."

"Okay."

Yasmeen was certainly happy to do so.

Just then, the sound of a car engine suddenly came from outside. Hearing the sound, Lucas frowned slightly while Yasmeen suddenly stood up and went on alert.
