Chapter 9 Daydreaming About Only You

Seeing Lucas Shaw's figure, Serena Summers immediately put on a smiling face, "Hubby!"

Her crisp voice was filled with indescribable joy and surprise.

Lucas Shaw's gaze fell on the small white tender hand holding his own palm, his eye light paused slightly.

The surrounding servants, upon seeing this, subconsciously held their breath.

The air in the dining room experienced a moment of stagnation, everyone staring blankly at the two people's clasped hands.

Who in City S didn't know that their Second Master was famously averse to women, had a gloomy and violent personality, and had serious germaphobia.

Any woman who touched him ended up with no good fate.

This woman has such guts!

She even dared to hold the hand of their Second Master?!!

Isn't she afraid of being thrown out by the Second Master?

For a moment, a lot of servants showed a schadenfreude look on their faces.

How could their Second Master possibly marry such a vulgar woman?

This woman calls him hubby without any shame!

Now she has hit a cold bench, right?

Let's see how she'll end up!

However, in the next second, the servants who were still watching the excitement all froze.

Their mouths dropped open in shock, unable to believe their own eyes.

What did they see?

The always unapproachable Second Master did not only refrain from angrily pushing her away but instead held Serena Summers' hand back and sat beside her!

How is this possible?

The Second Master has serious germaphobia and really despises physical contact with others.

How could he be treating a country girl with such special regard?

They must have seen it wrong, right?

However, Lucas Shaw's next move firmly slapped their faces.

With their eyes wide open, they saw Lucas Shaw, not only did he show no disgust towards Serena Summers' touch, but he also picked up a napkin, gently wiping the greasy stain from the corner of her mouth with affectionate and indescribably ambiguous actions.

Serena Summers blinked her eyes, obediently allowing Lucas Shaw to wipe her lips.

Watching the handsome face so close, her heart began to race uncontrollably, and even her breathing started to become rapid.

My husband... is so handsome!

When leaning in close, Serena Summers could clearly smell the mix of herbal medicine and the scent of pine wood from his body.

Serena Summers subconsciously wanted to lean in and sniff, but suddenly felt a coolness on her forehead.

A white, jade-like finger with distinct joints suddenly rested on her forehead.

A hint of teasing flashed through the man's narrow phoenix eyes, "What are you doing?"

Serena Summers raised a smile on her face, sincerely said, "Hubby, you smell so good!"

Lucas Shaw lightly "tsked" and slowly let go of his hand, somewhat disdainfully saying, "Don't flatter yourself, don't dream of taking advantage of me."

Serena Summers looked righteously indignant, "How could this be called taking advantage? You are my husband, everything I do is justified."

Lucas Shaw lazily leaned back in the chair, reminding her, "We are in an agreement marriage."

"That's still marriage! Do you think I'm that easy to marry?" Serena Summers pouted, a look of grievance on her face.

Lucas Shaw chuckled lightly, unable to resist the itch in his hand, and rubbed Serena Summers' little head again, "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Little one, you're not so easy to deceive.

Serena Summers glared at him, then picked up the utensils again, and continued to eat heartily.

Soon, Lucas Shaw was cast to the back of his mind.

Lucas leaned back in his chair, his eyes constantly following Serena Summers, tracing her every movement as she picked up food.

A long time passed, and half the plates on the dining table were empty.

Serena leaned contentedly against her chair, rubbing her slightly bulging belly while silently sighing to herself.

After staying at the Summers Family home for half a month, her appetite had actually decreased considerably.

In the past, she would definitely have finished everything.

While she was sighing, a deep, husky voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.

"Full?"

Serena turned her head to look, only to see Lucas had already stood up.

The man's back was straight as a pine, his face as handsome as the moon, every feature exuded refinement and nobility, irresistibly captivating.

Just as Serena was dazedly staring, she suddenly felt a tap on her forehead, "Daydreaming about me again? Where did you pick up this bad habit? You need to change it."

Shaking off her reverie, Serena, with a blushing face, covered her forehead where she had been tapped and whispered softly, "I only daydream about you."

Her words happened to reach Lucas Shaw, who had just walked a short distance away.

He paused in his steps momentarily, his lips unconsciously curling into a smile, then quickly reverted to his usual aloof and cold demeanor.

As if that brief smile had been but an illusion.

Shaw Mansion.

Mr. White told Master Shaw that Lucas Shaw took Serena Summers to get their marriage certificate.

Master Shaw immediately stood up from the sofa, looking at Mr. White in sheer shock, "Are you serious? Did Lucas actually get a marriage certificate with that Summers girl?"

"Wasn't he strongly against it before? How could he change his mind so quickly?"

Master Shaw found it hard to believe.

Lucas had been raised under his watch, and he knew very well how cold his temperament was.

He simply couldn't fathom what could have made Lucas change his mind, to even take the initiative to register for marriage.

Mr. White quickly replied with a smile, "Master Shaw, do you remember the girl that Lucas has been searching for all these years?"

Hearing this, Master Shaw suddenly seemed a bit lost.

Seventeen years ago, when Lucas Shaw was seven, he was kidnapped by a criminal gang.

At that time, they had turned the entire S city upside down, eventually finding his trace in a mountain near the Corland border.

When they found him, he was barely alive, clutching a frail and delicate little girl in his arms.

The girl was skin and bones, reportedly three years old, but she looked only about one or two.

It was said she had also been kidnapped by that group.

Against his family's wishes, Lucas insisted on bringing the little girl back to the Shaw Family to care for her.

But just a few days later, the little girl vanished without a trace.

When Lucas awoke from his coma to find the girl gone, he flew into a tremendous rage and in his feverish state, even tried to go looking for her.

He had nearly lost his life because of it.

At that time, Master Shaw had used the Shaw Family's connections to search for the girl in the surrounding towns, but to no avail.

From then on, Lucas Shaw's personality turned even more gloomy and unruly.

Remembering these events, Master Shaw sighed deeply in his heart.

He asked Mr. White, "Could it be... that the Summers girl is that little girl from those years?"

Mr. White truthfully responded, "It should be. She is wearing the other half of the Jade Pendant, and Lucas has already compared it, confirming they match. However..."

Mr. White stopped short of finishing his sentence.

Master Shaw's expression tightened, and he said in a stern voice, "However, what?"

Mr. White lowered his gaze, a slight frown on his brows, "However, Young Madam seems to remember Lucas, but at that time, she was only three years old. How could she possibly remember so clearly?"
