Layla thought that Minnie was lying because she was desperate to save Coco. There was no way that someone like Lucas would be interested in such a boring woman.Meanwhile, Coco was struggling desperately as she was being forced to drink the wine. However, it only made things worse. The wine that was spilled from her mouth soiled her clothes, making her look utterly miserable."Stop it! Stop it!" Minnie cried. Tears were streaming down her face. "Somebody, please help! Save Coco! Lucas! Please come and save Coco!"The people mocked her cries. Just as Minnie was about to lose hope, the laughter died down, replaced by the sound of punching and groans.Minnie looked up to see Lucas kicking away the person who had forced Coco to drink like a superhero.He knocked the people who were pinning Coco down to the ground swiftly.Minnie was overjoyed while the others were completely stunned.Coco was on the floor choking from the wine. Her throat was burning, and she felt dizzy. She
Just then, someone finally came back to their senses and shouted at Lucas, "Who do you think you are to talk like that?! Do you think that you’re really Lucas, the prince of the entertainment industry? Hahaha!"Lucas coldly glanced at the person. "I am indeed Lucas. What’s so funny about it?"The icy stare and indifferent tone caused the person to feel uneasy. He couldn’t believe that the person standing in front of him was Lucas. Just then, a timid voice was heard, "He... he really does look like Lucas. I've seen photos of Lucas online before, and they look similar."A dreadful silence filled the air. Layla looked at the handsome man protecting Coco. She could tell at a glance that his clothes were extremely expensive, and he had a powerful demeanor.She wondered if what Minnie said was true. She couldn’t believe that a woman that she used to look down upon had managed to snag a man like Lucas in Solaria.Just then, Lucas called someone and instructed them, “Send a few me
"Why should I forgive you?" Lucas asked nonchalantly."Huh?" Karleigh was stunned."I'm not one to forgive easily. There are very few people in this world who can get away after offending me." He then gave a brief order to his men, "Take her away."His men pulled Karleigh aside, and Lucas left with Coco in his arms, leaving everyone else looking at each other in shock.Karleigh kept pleading, "Mr. Gomez, wait! Please forgive me! I was wrong! I apologize to Coco and you. Please don’t go yet, Mr. Gomez…” Lucas didn’t stop in his tracks no matter how much Karleigh begged.Seeing Karleigh's desperate state made those who had ridiculed and bullied Coco tremble in fear. They were scared that they would end up that way."Minnie, is Coco really dating Lucas?" Someone finally asked Minnie.Minnie snickered. "I told you so, but you guys didn't believe me! Anyone who wants to harm Coco should think twice. Lucas will avenge Coco for all the grievances she suffered back then till now. Watc
“How could you let her drink so much? Why didn’t you stop her?” The doctor scolded Lucas. “It’s dangerous to drink so much. She could be gone in minutes if her airway was blocked by vomit.” The doctor continued to reprimand Lucas while examining Coco. Lucas listened like an obedient student as his eyes filled with concern for Coco. "How is she? Is she okay?""She should be fine for now. How much exactly did she drink?" The doctor asked.Lucas wasn’t sure how much Coco had drunk. When he finally got there, the people in the room were forcing her to chug down the whole bottle of wine.The doctor sighed. "Well, just in case, I’ll draw some blood to check her blood alcohol content.""Okay," Lucas agreed.As the doctor prepared the paperwork for the test, Coco suddenly opened her eyes and fixed her gaze on Lucas.Lucas was surprised to see Coco awake. “Are you feeling okay?" he asked.Coco responded with a silly grin. Although her eyes were on him, Lucas could see that she wa
The nurse skillfully tied a tourniquet and tapped Coco's arm to locate a vein."Hold her still. Don't let her move when I draw her blood," the nurse instructed."Got it," Lucas responded. He let Coco rest her upper body against his chest while he held her shoulder with one hand and her arm with the other.As the needle pierced her skin, Coco instinctively tried to pull her arm away, but Lucas held her firmly."It hurts..." she complained pitifully."It'll be over soon. Just bear with it," he said patiently. He couldn't recall ever being so patient with any other woman except Serenity.Once finished, Lucas held Coco and waited for the results, which would take about 15 minutes.After ensuring the bleeding had stopped, he got up and disposed of the cotton ball in a nearby trash can.When he returned to her side, Coco was staring at him intently.“The nurse has drawn my blood…” She was still tipsy."Yes," Lucas replied. "It’s finished.""Can I kiss you now?" Coco asked while
Their teeth collided with each other, but Lucas was focused on the softness of her lips instead of the pain. Coco’s kiss sparked a strange feeling in him.Lucas had never liked being intimate with the women he dated. Despite having dated many women, he never allowed anyone to kiss him. However, he wasn’t repulsed by Coco’s kiss at all.He didn't know how long the kiss lasted, but she pulled away eventually and rested her head on his shoulder. Coco fell asleep soon.Lucas looked at Coco helplessly, wondering how much she would remember when she woke up.After receiving the test results and confirming that she was fine, Lucas carried Coco back to the car."Take us back to my villa," Lucas instructed the driver.Throughout the ride, Lucas couldn't help but space out as he looked at Coco. He kept wondering if he would come to love her. He wasn’t sure if he could ever love anyone again. If he did, he hoped that the woman would be Coco.-Coco felt like she had a long and swe
Just then, a maid entered the room with the hangover medicine and a cup of warm water. Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Lucas massaging Coco. Those who had worked there long enough knew that Lucas always kept his distance from women. They knew that he had liked Serenity for a long time, and the maids often speculated that Lucas might never date seriously again.Yet, last night, Lucas had brought a woman back to the villa, and now, he was massaging her temples. This was not something he would normally do!Lucas noticed the maid’s odd expression and frowned slightly. “Place them on the bedside table and leave.”"Yes, sir." The maid quickly left the room.Lucas handed the medicine and water to Coco. "Take this. It should help with the headache."Coco felt better after taking the hangover medicine. "Thank you for saving me yesterday," Coco said."I should have come earlier. Then, you wouldn't have had to suffer at all," Lucas replied, his expression darkening. “
"The maids?""I didn’t think that it would be appropriate for me to change your clothes, so I asked a maid to do it," Lucas explained.Coco sighed in relief, inwardly laughing at herself for overthinking.Of course, Lucas would order a maid to help her change. It was the most reasonable thing to do."Did I say or do anything inappropriate after I got drunk yesterday?" Coco asked hesitantly.Lucas was reminded of their kiss at the hospital. He turned away and said, “No, I don’t think so.” Since they were in a relationship, a kiss was acceptable for him."Alright, I'll go downstairs first. Once you're ready, come down for breakfast," Lucas said before leaving the room.Coco was left alone in the large room. She finally had the time to scan the unfamiliar surroundings. This one room alone seemed to be the size of her apartment.She stumbled out of bed feeling amazed and picked up the clothes Lucas had prepared for her. They were all luxury brands that were worth thousands. It
