F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 118

I was dumbfounded. Since when did I become Lukas's companion?

Ava released my hand and stood aside, waiting for me.

I wanted to ask what was going on, but seeing the warning look from Lukas, I obediently kept quiet.

Lukas's hand rested on my waist, almost half-embracing me in front of others, appearing quite intimate.

With a cold expression, he looked at Elena. "Can we leave now?"

Elena looked resentful and glanced at Elias.

What she didn't respect was that Elias smiled and went over to chat with Ava. "Ava, I didn't expect to see you again."

Ava kept a cold face and acted as if she hadn't noticed him.

Elias awkwardly touched his nose. "Don't be so cold."

Ava remained indifferent, treating him as if he were invisible.

Elena looked at Lukas pitifully, seeing him expressionless all the while.

In the end, she glared fiercely at me and angrily left.

I looked at Lukas and asked, "Mr. Strakovski, can you explain what's going on?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Lukas's eyes. "She knows I don't have a companion but insisted on clinging to me. I can't get angry at someone else's banquet."

I distanced myself from Lukas and sighed helplessly. "Mr. Strakovski, there's really no need for this. Elena already resents me, and now she probably hates me to the core."

Lukas felt the loss of contact in his hand, and somewhere deep inside, he felt a tinge of loss.

He raised an eyebrow at me. "Are you afraid?"

I pouted. "Not really afraid, I just think you don't need to do this. As a matter of fact, you could find any excuse to turn her away."

Lukas's expression showed a mix of emotions, but he didn't say anything to me.

Naturally, he wouldn't say, “I saw Anthony coming in your direction just now, seemingly to find you.”

Subconsciously, he felt displeased and, without much thought, took his “wife” in his arms.

Sure enough, the moment he took the woman in his arms, Anthony's feet stiffened and he turned away.

My eyes flickered. "Mr. Strakovski, are you unhappy with what I said?"

Lukas looked away, not looking at me, and his expression was indifferent. "You haven't influenced my emotions that easily. It's just that you don't seem to understand one thing. When I need you as a shield, you should stand up for me without hesitation, rather than telling me to find an excuse or figure it out myself."

His gaze fell on my face. "Do you not realize that as the person who is married to me, you are the most suitable candidate for refusing other women? Why would I ignore you, who should shoulder this responsibility, and instead seek someone else?"

I glanced at Lukas's expression, which seemed to say that he doesn't have much time to find other excuses.

My expression changed again and again. "All right, Mr. Strakovski, what you said makes sense."
