Chapter 485


    Lucas could not quite exin what was going on with him. He started to worry about Corinne, whom he


    always disliked.


    He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that it was because he was exhausted from work recently


    that he started to have an illusion.


    Soon, the car arrived at the Lunar Century Manor. After the car was parked, Corinne followed Lucas


    out of the car and entered the manor.


    After taking a few steps, Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Corinne from the


    corner of his eyes and asking her indifferently, “Do you feel cold?”


    It was the beginning of winter, so the temperature at night was already very low.


    Wearing a thin dress, Corinne’s arms were flushed because of the night breeze, but she replied


    indifferently, “I’m alright.”


    Lucas looked at her and pondered for a second, then he looked back to say, “Edmund, bring the jacket


    in the car that Anya bought for me a few days ago and let Miss Corinne put it on.”


    Edmund was taken aback, but he did as he was told.


    Corinne was dazed when Edmund draped the new jacket over her shoulders. “Thank concern, Mister


    Lucas.”

    Lucas replied coldly, “Don’t overthink it. I just don’t want you to catch a cold and infect me when you go


    to work sick tomorrow.”


    Corinne smiled. “I wasn’t overthinking. It’s just that regardless of the reason you were showing concern


    for your subordinate, I was taken care of by you, so it’s only polite for me to thank you.”


    Lucas nced at her indifferently and ignored her. He just walked toward the manor, and Corinne


    followed along next to him.


    Lunar Century Manor was the Riveras’ territory, so they could walk in freely without being stopped as


    soon as they entered the vicinity. However, guests were only allowed to enter the banquet hall after


    signing their names together with their partners at the reception area near the entrance. Anybody who


    came alone, regardless of who that was, would not be allowed to enter. That was the long-established.


    rule for Missus B’s birthday party.


    As her nephew, it would be rude to not celebrate his aunt’s birthday. Therefore, Lucas would find a


    partner toe to the party with him every year for formalities.


    Lucas’s arrival caused a smallmotion in the banquet hall.


    Lucas hardly attended parties, so it was extremely rare for him to appear on asions like this. Only a


    -respected senior of the Riveras like his aunt could make him show his face at the event.


    “Look, Mister Lucas is here with his partner!”


    “Which family did the girle from? I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”


    “She’s so pretty! She even has Mister Lucas’s jacket on her shoulder. There must be something going


    on between them.”


    “That’s not surprising. Mister Lucas is at the age where he should be settling down, so wouldn’t it make


    sense for him to bring his girlfriend to celebrate his aunt’s birthday?”


    “I remember he has always had Rosie Sutton as his partner every year in the past.”


    “It’s because Rosie is best friends with Miss Anya that she could get close to Mister Lucas! Now that he


    has his partner, of course, he doesn’t hear anymore!”


    “You’re right! I see that he’s not interested in Rosie at all!”


    Ignoring all those pointless discussions, Lucas looked around in the banquet hall, then said to Corinne


    without any emotions, “Find a ce to have a seat here. I’ll go to the front to greet my family.”

    “Alright, Mister Lucas,” Corinne answered politely. She was thinking that Lucas must be afraid of


    creating. unnecessary misunderstanding that he did not take her to meet his family.


    After taking a few steps, Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned to take a look at Corinne. What exactly


    was he worried about?
