“…” First man? She felt a bit lightheaded. “Foreign countries are so open, haven’t you ever had a boyfriend?” He changed his question. Logically speaking, if she had dated the opposite sex, she should understand these things, right? “I… I have dated, but no one ever asked me to wash their underwear.” “Oh, right, I almost forgot, you were once a little princess who had everything handed to you.” “…” Lucy looked at him, not understanding why he brought up the past. Suddenly, she felt deeply depressed and wanted to question him, but the door was suddenly closed from the inside. The scent of the shower gel he had used hit her face with a gust of wind, but it also separated them. She turned around and stood against the wall. When her phone rang, she quickly answered it. She thought to herself, it’s better to leave soon. “Hello?” “Christopher didn’t make things difficult for you, right?” “No.” She lowered her head, but for some reason, her eyes became wet. Why did he say those things just now? She didn’t know, but she told herself there was no need to be sad. They would soon be apart. “Emily had come back too. Lucy, do you want to consider quitting and coming with me?” “Quit?” Lucy’s heart sank, but she understood that if he was back, she should quit. Otherwise, in the future, they would be facing each other all day… Yes, she was afraid she couldn’t control her own heart. “Yeah, that woman is very jealous. She won’t tolerate you being Christopher’s secretary.” “I understand.” “Lucy, you haven’t fallen in love with Christopher, right?” The person on the other end asked her, but she couldn’t respond immediately. Hadn’t she fallen in love with him? Maybe it wasn’t that she hadn’t fallen in love, but rather… The moment he agreed to marry her, he had ruthlessly claimed her heart. — The bathroom door opened again. She heard the sound, quickly ended the call, and turned around. She saw him come out wearing a pajama top and pants. His freshly dried hair was a little fluffy but looked exceptionally fresh. She could never ignore his appearance, his figure, and the noble temperament he carried. But she quickly lowered her head. She knew that she shouldn’t look too much. After her parents passed away, every step she took was different. When she entered the Dale family, she became even more careful and cautious. Once her internship period was over, she was supposed to become Christopher’s personal secretary as the elders of the Dale family had said. But… She could no longer rely on him. Her parents had died in a car accident when they returned to the country for his grandmother’s birthday, but that was an unfortunate accident. At the time, her parents were on the verge of death, and their biggest concern was her. So, Cobie promised them that she would take good care of her, that she would become the future head of the Dale family. Cobie had kept her word, and the entire Dale family had kept their word. But… What had he done wrong? She didn’t know why he hadn’t rejected her back then, but she knew that she should let him go now. “Tonight…” “Mr. Dale, Madam had prepared some wine to you and Mrs. Dale.” The door was suddenly knocked from the outside. Both of them instinctively looked towards the door. Lucy immediately went to open the door, but her wrist was grabbed. Perhaps because he had just taken a shower, the temperature in his palm was not as hot as before, even carrying a cool sensation that felt quite comfortable. “I’ll go,” he said lightly, releasing her to open the door. Lucy stood there. Although her last name contains “wine”, her tolerance was average. Christopher took the two glasses of wine, then glanced at the butler standing at the door with his head lowered. He sighed and closed the door. The butler quietly sighed in relief and left. Christopher walked over with the wine glass in hand, handing one of them to her. Lucy took it and said softly, “Thank you.” Christopher didn’t say anything, just stared at her as she brought the wine glass to her lips.
