A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 

When Lukas entered the room, he saw Cole chatting with Elias. 

Ava looked surprised and asked, “Do you guys know each other?” 

Elias grinned. “We don’t just know each other. We’ve been old acquaintances for a long time.” 

A flash of surprise crossed Ava’s cold face. 

At this moment, Cole noticed Lukas’s arrival and immediately stood up, “Mr. Strakovski.” 

Lukas glanced at him casually, “In private, you don’t have to be so formal.” 

Carrying the food, Reese entered the room, deliberately avoiding Lukas and keeping a certain distance from him, as if he were a harmful object. 

Lukas noticed her actions and his eyes darkened slightly, but he remained silent. 

Reese opened the food, saying, “Ava, Cole, let’s have dinner.” 

Elias opened his own food, smiling, “Lukas, let’s eat too.” 

Reese’s mouth twitched. She felt that this scene was a bit odd. 

For a moment, the aroma of the food filled the entire ward. 

Elias looked at Cole and said with a smile, “Director Hopkins, I didn’t expect you to be Ava and Designer Roberts’s senior in college.” 

Hearing Elias’s words, Ava subconsciously glanced at Cole, feeling flustered, “Who are you calling Ava? Don’t call me like that.” 

Elias blinked, “But aren’t you Ava? Isn’t that your name?” 

He clearly saw the change in Ava’s eyes just now. He unintentionally glanced at Cole, and his gaze slightly darkened. 

Reese saw this clearly. Afraid that Cole would misunderstand her relationship with Elias, she couldn’t help but frown. 

Though Lukas appeared to be eating, he always unintentionally observed Reese’s reactions. 

Seeing her frown, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, his face darkened, “You can’t even shut up during a

meal. If you don’t want to eat, go back to your own ward.” 

Elias quickly spoke up, “Okay, I’ll shut up.” 

After finishing their meal, Cole took his leave, planning to come back to see Ava another day. 

Reese accompanied him out. 

Lukas unwrapped a mint candy, stood in front of the corridor, and watched Cole and Reese below, his expression heavy, lost in thought. 

Inside the ward, as soon as Cole left, Ava felt like she had been emptied, looking listless. 

Elias was an astute person, experienced with many women, yet untouched by them. No matter the woman, he could see through her at a glance. 

Ava’s disappointment was too evident. 

His eyes flickered as he smiled without reaching his eyes, “Ava, what’s your relationship with Director 

Hopkins?” 

Ava furrowed her brows upon hearing him address her. She paused for a moment before explaining, “Cole is my senior from college.” 

Elias raised an eyebrow, his expression playful, “Is that so? It doesn’t feel like it.” 

Ava was afraid of others seeing through her feelings for Cole, so she immediately spoke up, “He saved my 

life before.” 

Elias hadn’t expected this extra piece of information. 

He had been interested in Ava since the first time he saw her. 

He couldn’t help but speak, “In the ancient times, if a beautiful woman was saved by a handsome man, she would say, ‘Sir, I’m grateful to you as you have saved my life. I can only repay you with my body.“” 

Ava frowned and looked at him without saying a word. 

Elias stared at her face and continued, “But if the savior was ugly, the beautiful woman would say, I’m grateful to you as you have saved my life. I can only repay you in my next life.“” 

‘Sir, 

Ava’s mouth twitched twice, “What are you trying to say?” 

Elias’s expression was unusually serious, “So, what kind of feelings do you have for Cole?” 

Ava’s face changed instantly.

Reese walked in and frowned when she saw the debut, why are you still here? Ava needs rest.

Once Elias left, he saw Lake tending on ka dek expression 

He smirked, “You and Designer Roberts are in a close relationship on paper, but why didict you even say 

a word when you met? 

Lukas hooked his lips, “As you said, it’s just a relationship on paper. 

Elias caught up with him, looking at Lukas teasingly, “I feel like you are not acting normal when she’s around. Could it be that you’re secretly in love with her, but you’re keeping it to yourself like a shy person?” 

Lukas’s voice was indifferent, “You’re overthinking it. I’m not interested in her.” 

If anything, he was interested in her designing talent. 

Other than that, if he were to be asked what he liked about her, he’d only say that he liked how she could make him fall asleep easily as if he had no insomnia at all. 

Elias was not convinced, “Don’t be so stubborn. You might end up eating your own words one day.” 

Lukas snorted lightly, “Rest assured. That day will never come. You take care of yourself. I’m leaving.” 

Lukas walked away without looking back. 

Elias blinked, feeling that Lukas was unusually confident.
