The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 630 - Indecisiveness

Chapter 630: Indecisiveness

Lucas was honestly pretty surprised by the call.
After all, he and Alexis had only met a few times and barely spoke to each other. But Lucas had a good impression of her.
However, he had other plans tomorrow, including some matters in the Stardust Corporation and a trip to the hospital to visit William together with Cheyenne. He also had to send Amelia to her piano lessons in the evening and so on.
At the thought of this, Lucas glanced at Cheyenne lying next to him. He didn’t accept Alexis’s invitation immediately.
Seemingly sensing Lucas’s hesitation, Alexis instantly lowered her gleeful voice and said with some disappointment, “Uh, it’s fine if you can’t make it!”
Lucas thought about it and said, “Since it’s your birthday, and the birthday girl has even called me personally, how can I possibly turn you down? What time is your birthday party, and where will it be held?”
No matter what, Alexis was the granddaughter of Edmund, of whom Lucas had a good impression. When Lucas and his people were at the Kingston manor and confronting the Kingstons, Edmund had resolutely decided to go to war with the Kingstons in order to protect Lucas without any regard for the possible losses that his family might suffer. This made Lucas feel extremely touched.
The Elite Business Exchange would be happening in three days, so Lucas might also need the Coles’ help during the function. Therefore, he should attend Alexis’s birthday party in both logic and emotion.
When Alexis heard Lucas’s question, her disappointment instantly turned into joy as she exclaimed happily, “That’s great! The party will be held at my home in the evening the day after tomorrow. Lucas, you can arrive before seven!”
Lucas calculated the time. It took six hours to drive from Orange County to San Francisco. If he left tomorrow evening, he would still have time to stay overnight in a hotel and freshen up. Before leaving, he would also be able to send Amelia to her enrichment classes. His plans wouldn’t be disrupted, so it was good.
“Okay, I know. I will definitely arrive on time,” Lucas said softly.
After hanging up, Lucas turned around, only to meet Cheyenne’s sparkling eyes staring at him closely.
For some reason, Lucas suddenly felt nervous and quickly explained, “Uh, the person who called just now is Alexis, the granddaughter of Edmund, the helmsman of the Coles, whom you’ve met before. She’s celebrating her birthday in two days, so she specially called to invite me to her birthday party. I also happen to have to meet Mr. Cole for something, so I’ve decided to go over and take a look.”
“Is that so?” Cheyenne said leisurely, keeping her large beautiful eyes fixed on Lucas.
Lucas immediately felt his heart tensing up, feeling that something was a little amiss. He quickly raised his hands to show that he was innocent. “It’s true! Her birthday party is in the evening the day after tomorrow. I’ll accompany you to the hospital to visit William during the day tomorrow, and then… How about we let Amelia skip her piano lessons, and we can all head to the Coles’ together?”
Amazingly, Lucas could somehow immediately sense that there was something wrong with her emotions. But she didn’t quite seem to be jealous either, so he quickly tried to make things better.
Cheyenne stared at him for a long time before turning around and saying indifferently, “Let’s go to bed. We have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow.”
Lucas wasn’t an insensitive man who didn’t know to observe the situation. Seeing that Cheyenne seemed to be upset, he immediately panicked and put his hand on her shoulder before cupping her face to make her face him. He said gently, “Honey, don’t be upset. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me directly.
“If you don’t want me to attend the birthday party in two days, I’ll stay home and accompany you and Amelia, okay?”
He had just thought about it, but he still couldn’t come up with any reason.
But since Cheyenne was upset after hearing that Alexis had called him, he decided not to go at all, thinking that perhaps Cheyenne would stop being upset if he chose not to go.
It was important to maintain a relationship with the Coles, but Cheyenne was the woman Lucas loved the most. If he could make her happy again, turning down the invitation wouldn’t be a big deal.
As soon as he said this, Cheyenne immediately said, “No, I’m not asking you not to attend Miss Cole’s birthday party!”
She looked Lucas in the eye. “I know that Mr. Cole has always said that you’re his life savior, so he has been helping you all the time. Logically speaking, it is only right for you to go to Miss Cole’s birthday party and visit her family. I won’t stop you because of that.”
“You…” Lucas started speaking in bewilderment.
But before he could finish, Cheyenne suddenly reached out, hugged him, and buried her head in his chest. She said gently, “Hubby, I want you to hug me…”
With her soft hair resting on his chest, he immediately felt a tingling feeling.
Lucas was instantly full of zeal, and he took a deep breath before lowering his head to kiss his dainty wife, unable to hold back any longer.
…
More than half an hour later, the two of them were nestled in each other’s embrace, completely drenched in sweat and enjoying the post coital warmth.
Cheyenne was still blushing coyly as she panted with her eyes closed.
Lucas lovingly tucked the sweaty strands of hair on her face behind her ear and asked, “Honey, why… why were you angry just now?”
Cheyenne struggled to open her eyes before glaring at him feebly. “I’m not upset anymore. Don’t ask.”
Then she quickly sat up and put on her pajamas, afraid that Lucas would continue asking questions. “I… I’m going to take a shower now.”
She immediately got out of bed and walked into the bathroom before Lucas could say anything.
Lucas lay on the bed, smiling helplessly.
They all said that a woman’s heart was difficult to understand. He was indeed confused now, completely unable to understand Cheyenne’s thoughts.
But since Cheyenne didn’t want him to continue asking, he decided that it was better not to ask. He believed that one day, she would really bare her heart to him, and they would eventually be able to talk about everything under the sun.
Meanwhile, Cheyenne, who was hiding in the bathroom, was biting her lower lip while standing under the gushing water in the shower.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in her heart after Lucas answered Alexis’s call.
As her husband got more and more powerful, his social network was also expanding, and there were more and more outstanding figures of high status around him.
Cheyenne somehow felt a strong sense of crisis and dejection. She even began to feel insecure and paranoid.
Only when Lucas was holding her gently and passionately could she feel that the person embracing her was her husband, the man she loved the most.
No, I can’t go on like this. Since he’s surrounded by so many outstanding people, I have to become better too!
