MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 29

As soon as Lucas walked out, a slender figure suddenly leaped into Lucas’s arms and hugged his waist tightly.

With a trace of shock on his face, Lucas gaped a little, dumbfounded for a moment.

He never expected that Cheyenne would leap into his embrace and hug him tightly in front of everyone!

After being dumbfounded for a while, Lucas finally snapped back to his senses. His heart was full of joy and sweetness.

He reached his hands out and gently put them around Cheyenne’s waist while patting her back comfortingly.

Fortunately, William had already left Little Atlantis City by this time. Otherwise, he would have definitely felt that something was amiss if he saw Cheyenne jumping into the arms of this masked man. He would then discover that the masked man was Lucas, his son-in-law.

On the other hand, after Lena saw what Cheyenne was doing, she was even more certain that Cheyenne’s relationship with him was extraordinary, unlike what she had thought previously.

Is this masked young man her husband she mentioned to me before?

The people around were still surrounding Lucas. Many of them wanted to ask him what happened in the room and who the final winner of the gamble was, which was their greatest concern. They also wanted to find out what the shrieking was about.

Lucas frowned slightly, feeling annoyed that they were surrounding him and bombarding him with questions.

At this moment, Joe and the other managers of Little Atlantis City came out of the room one after another. The security guards immediately dispersed the curious poker players and sent Lucas and the others down the elevator.

When they were far away from Little Atlantis City, Lucas finally removed his mask and revealed his handsome face.

Lena looked at Cheyenne, who had been leaning close to Lucas, and teased with a grin, “Cheyenne, aren’t you going to introduce this mysterious man to me?”

Seeing the teasing gaze in Lena’s eyes, Cheyenne finally realized that she was still subconsciously tugging on Lucas’ sleeve. She hurriedly let go and blushed in embarrassment. “Uh, he’s not a crook. He’s actually my… my… Well, you know what I’m talking about. His name is Lucas Gray.”

Cheyenne hesitated for a while, but she still couldn’t bring herself to call Lucas her husband in front of him and Lena. So she decided not to do so altogether. She then introduced Lena to Lucas. “This is Lena Sawyer, a close friend of mine for many years.”

Lucas nodded at Lena in greeting.

He had found out long ago that Lena was Ethan Sawyer’s daughter.

Cheyenne took Lena’s hand and sincerely apologized to her, “Lena, it was too complicated in there just now, so I couldn’t explain it to you clearly. I’m so sorry to have made you worry!”

Lena waved her hand and grabbed Cheyenne’s before saying with a smile, “It’s alright. Everything’s fine as long as you’re safe. I was just really worried that you were taken away by a crook and might not be able to make it back alive. If I knew that you and your husband had agreed to put on an act together to make your father quit gambling, I wouldn’t have meddled presumptuously! If it wasn’t for me, you guys wouldn’t have been targeted by Tony Zander and ended up wasting so much time.”

Lena was a straightforward person, and she directly said her piece. Suddenly reminded of something, she hurriedly asked Lucas, “By the way, what exactly happened in the private room? I heard a loud shriek and thought that something happened to you! Cheyenne was so frightened that she turned pale at the time. That was when I discovered that there was something going on between you two.”

Hearing her best friend’s description of her worried self, Cheyenne couldn’t help blushing again.

Lucas was rather reluctant to tell the two young women about the bloodbath that had happened in the private room. So he merely shook his head and said casually, “It’s nothing much. A nobody offended Tony Zander in the room, so he got someone to deal with him.”

Lena wasn’t a fool, so she could naturally tell that Lucas was just being perfunctory with her. She immediately pouted. “You’re so stingy. You’re refusing to even tell me what happened in that room. That shriek sounded really horrifying. Only a fool would believe that it was just a nobody being taught a lesson. Hmph, forget it if you don’t want to tell me. Why did you have to make up a random excuse to fool me?”

Lucas was speechless.

But he had never had much patience with women other than Cheyenne. When he heard Lena’s accusation, he didn’t bother explaining either and simply said calmly, “Believe it or not, that’s the truth.”

“You! What kind of attitude is that?” Lena got even more furious and pouted her lips.

Seeing that tension arose from a slight conflict between them, Cheyenne hurriedly stood in the middle and tried to give both of them an out. “Lucas, Lena is my best friend, and she tried everything she could to save me just now. Don’t be so harsh with your tone when you’re talking to her!”

Immediately afterward, she grabbed Lena’s hand and comforted her, “Lena, simmer down. Lucas is just hot-tempered. He’s not nitpicking on you. He gets on my nerves all the time too!”

Lucas raised his hand and touched his nose. When did I ever get on Cheyenne’s nerves?

Lena wasn’t a petty girl who would throw a fit over a trivial matter. After hearing Cheyenne’s persuasion, the trace of dissatisfaction on her face vanished, and she humphed at Lucas. “Hmph, I won’t bother holding it against you on Cheyenne’s account. But since you’re Cheyenne’s husband, you must treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”

Then she waved her clenched fist at Lucas.

Lucas looked at Lena speechlessly.

Although Lena had a hostile attitude toward him, she had indeed stood out to protect Cheyenne without hesitation when she thought that Cheyenne was in danger just now. She even repeatedly tried to stop him from taking Cheyenne away, showing that she truly considered Cheyenne her best friend and truly cared about her safety.

So Lucas wouldn’t hold it against Lena even if it was for the sake that she was nice to Cheyenne.

It was getting late, and he decided to send Lena home together with Cheyenne. It happened that Lena lived on an estate by Pearl Lake near Lucas’s villa.

Lucas quickly started the engine of his black Jaguar and drove toward Pearl Lake with Cheyenne and Lena.

During the journey, Lena still couldn’t help asking curiously, “I’m really curious about why Tony Zander let you go. Did you agree to do something for him? He’s not a kind soul!”
