Chapter 198 Reunion (Part Four)
Chapter 198 Reunion (Part Four)
Eva glanced at her father. It seemed that she already knew that the Walter Company was under the dark control of Dark. She had taken advantage of this method to enter the H Country smoothly. If so, the monopoly in the H Country would be destroyed. Moreover, half of the joint venture company belonged to the local market, so the royal family would think it more reliable. By then, the Walter Company was likely to be sidelined. She had to report this to Nil in a hurry, so that he could prepare for it.
After the meeting, to reach the goal, he invited Daisy to the other side of the deck for fishing.
Seeing that all the fish were hooked by him, Daisy thumbed up and said, "Mr. Lucas, you are really good at fishing."
"When my wife was alive, we used to go fishing. And there's delicious fish soup for us to drink in the evening. My wife's cooking skill is extraordinary. She can turn the most common cabbage and carrot into a pot of delicious vegetable. " His eyes were fixed on an unknown cloud at the junction of sea and sky. He seemed to have fallen into memory.
Eyes fixed on him, Daisy's heart beat faster. She had never thought a man could be so charming when he was affectionate.
Eva gave a little cough and reminded her to observe her manners. She came to herself at once and blushed.
"I'm going to get a glass of juice." She was afraid that Lucas would see her being rude, so she wanted to leave for a while. Eva knew what she was thinking, so she didn't do anything for her.
"Mr. Lucas, you must love your wife very much, right?" said Eva, walking towards him. Her voice was very low and light, but it seemed to scare him. Because of his shoulder twitching severely, he said: "Sophia!" He called her name and suddenly turned his head. His dark eyes seemed to be lit up by the
sunlight, sparkling unusually bright light. But when his eyes touched her face, the light went cold, and his eyes became even darker, like two deep bottomless black pools.
"Sorry. Did I scare you?" She shrugged apologetically.
"No." He shook his head, feeling very disappointed. Right, it was more painful to break up hope than not. Swallowing hard to suppress the bitterness in his heart, he said slowly, "your voice is very nice, just like my wife's."
"Really?" She raised her eyebrows.
His eyes looked at her face carefully. It seemed that he wanted to find something. Gradually, he felt more disappointed.
Hearing the footsteps on the deck, she retreated backwards when she knew that Daisy had come back.
Sitting beside him, Daisy smiled, "Mr. Lucas, I have a favor to ask."
"Go ahead, your highness." Lucas turned to look at her.
"Can I stay on your yacht tonight?" Her curly eyelashes flapped like butterfly wings.
"Your Highness!" Shouted Eva in surprise, trying to remind her of her impoliteness.
Daisy shrugged. "I like lying on the deck at night, listening to the sea wind, looking up at the stars in the sky, and feeling more comfortable than living in a hotel."
Lucas thought for a moment. Looking at her eager face, he didn't want to refuse her politely. "Since your highness likes it, I'm willing to be with you."
"That's great!" Her little face was as beautiful as roses.
At this time, Minnie came to inform them that the dinner was ready. All the dishes that the princess liked were prepared. The owner was very thoughtful.
But he left after it got dark. There were still many businesses to deal with. And then he stayed in the villa with Minnie to treat the princess.
Daisy was a little disappointed. Without Lucas's presence, the night was much more boring. After staying on the deck for a long time, she went back to her room to sleep.
Eva couldn't sleep, so she watched TV and wanted to go out for some water. After she went out of the cabin, she saw a tall figure standing at the head of the ship.
He didn't move at all. The moon shone on the deck like a Cassandra's shadow.
She stopped and looked at him in the dark.
The figure looked familiar. It seemed that she had met him somewhere.
She stared intently and tried to recall. The figure in front of her gradually overlapped another figure in her mind.
A fear took over her face hidden behind the mask, and her heart seemed to beat violently.
He recalled that manor and the lake in his dream. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
No, it couldn't be him. It was her first time to see him. It must be wrong.
She shook her head violently.
Unaware of her existence, Lucas moved and slowly walked to the bar counter. His steps were heavy and heavy, like an injured cheetah.
Night wind howled and the waves kept roaring.
He poured a glass of brandy and walked back, leaning against the railing. Staring at the twinkling stars in the night sky, he fell into a trance.
There was a string hanging in the sky, which was like a hook, an bow, and a rose.
The moon shone coldly on the ground like the frost of the autumn night.
The moon would come round if the situation was not good enough.
A person's heart could not be restored even if he lacked something?
As a wave of heat rushed into his eyes, he closed his eyes in pain. His broken heart was still being crushed little by little. He didn't seem to be reconciled to become powder. The severe pain made his whole body twitch. He trembled, raised the glass to his mouth, raised it, and drank it all.
"Sophia, Sophia..." He slumped onto the deck and kept muttering her name.
In the dark corner, Eva felt distressed.
She heard him calling her name at the alluring platform. It must be his wife's name. But why did she feel so familiar? So familiar! And why did her heart seem to respond.
"Sophia!" she groaned at the sight of the man lying on the bed, and couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her head.
