MOST POWERFUL HUSBAND, VOLUME 2 - Season 3 Episode 44

Watching William leave the room with his back straight and looking as if he was ten years younger, Cheyenne felt extremely emotional.

“Thank you so much, Lucas!” Cheyenne exclaimed.

It was not only because Lucas had changed William and given him a chance to start afresh in life, but because of everything that Lucas had done for them and their family.

If it wasn’t for Lucas, they would probably still be living in the old and shabby house they had resided in for decades while suffering from the bullying and oppression of the Carters. They might have even had their assets and home seized and be driven out to end up living miserably on the streets without any support.

Anyway, it definitely won’t be like the life they were living now, which was full of warmth and hope.

At this moment, Cheyenne felt immense gratitude and a strong sense of dependence on Lucas.

Lucas smiled. “Like I said, we are family. What’s the point of being so polite with each other? It’s getting late. Let’s put Amelia to bed.”

Cheyenne nodded but suddenly twisted her head and said with some anxiousness, “I’ll go take a shower.”

Then she walked into the bathroom with hurried steps.

Lucas thought that her reaction was a little strange, but he didn’t think much about it and instead walked to Amelia. He brought her to the side of the bed, tucked her in, and told her a bedtime story.

Amelia was extremely obedient. After listening to Lucas’s bedtime story, she closed her eyes and soon slipped into a slumber.

After a long time, Cheyenne finally came out of the bathroom.

Hearing the movement, Lucas turned around. “It’s getting late. You should rest—”

He stopped speaking before even finishing his sentence because his mind went blank when he saw Cheyenne.

Cheyenne slept in the same room as Lucas, but they had never been as intimate with each other as a married couple should. She would usually wear conservative nightdresses after coming out of the shower. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to let Lucas gawk at her. But rather, she was naturally shy and would only feel a sense of security if she wrapped herself up in clothes.

But she had now changed into a thin nightdress that exposed her fair arms and smooth calves that seemed to glisten under the light.

In particular, Cheyenne’s face was rosy, clearly from blushing. Under the light, she looked more and more ravishing, especially since she was stunningly beautiful in the first place. Coupled with the coy expression she had now, she looked absolutely alluring.

Lucas looked straight at Cheyenne for a long time, unable to snap back to his senses. Only when he felt a warm feeling under his nose did he realize that he had lost his composure.

He hurriedly covered his nose with his hand and wiped the blood while thinking to himself that she had fortunately not seen the embarrassing sight of him having a nosebleed.

Cheyenne bit her lower lip, overwhelmed with nervousness as her heart beat rapidly, as if it was going to pop out of her chest cavity.

It had taken her a long time to muster up the courage to make up her mind. She was really quite fond of Lucas and wanted them to become a genuine married couple, not just married in name.

“You…” Lucas was not a fool, and he was aware of her intentions. But he was still in disbelief as he asked hesitantly.

“What? What are you waiting for? Go take a shower.” Cheyenne glared at Lucas shyly while blushing, seemingly hesitant to say what was on her mind.

“Uh… Okay, okay, I’m going to take a shower now.”

After stammering, Lucas leaped into the bathroom.

It was rare of Lucas to have such a reaction.

No matter how calm you usually were, it was only normal to lose your composure when the person you loved finally reciprocated your feelings and took the initiative to get intimate with you!

At this moment, Lucas was standing under the showerhead in the bathroom and letting the cold water run down his body. Finally, he cooled down and became a little calmer.

The biggest reason that Cheyenne acted out of the ordinary tonight was actually due to the gratitude she felt toward him.

She felt even more grateful and guilty toward him because of the changes in William’s disposition and the situation of their family.

But Lucas was not quite sure how much of the reason was because of Cheyenne’s fondness for him.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Cheyenne. But after so many years of feeling guilty toward Cheyenne and Amelia, the changes in Cheyenne’s attitude toward him during the past two months were deeply etched in his mind, bit by bit.

Lucas found it a little unbelievable that Cheyenne was willing to accept him now. And at the same time, he was surprised and overjoyed. He even felt a little dizzy, as everything seemed surreal to him.

After Lucas finished taking a shower, he stepped out of the bathroom nervously and realized that Cheyenne was already lying on the bed.

However, she had fallen asleep!

Lucas blinked and confirmed the fact helplessly while caught between laughter and tears.

But Cheyenne had indeed been very busy with the matters at the Brilliance Corporation during this period of time while also being worried sick about William. She was often so vexed that she couldn’t sleep well at night.

Today, William finally returned home safely, giving her a huge sense of relief.

Lucas sighed slightly and gently pulled the quilt up to cover Cheyenne’s exposed bare shoulders.

He said softly, “Goodnight, Cheyenne.”

Then he returned to his bed.

They were both silent for the rest of the night.

Bright early in the morning of the following day, Cheyenne opened her eyes wearily and subconsciously lifted her quilt before sitting up.

But she soon noticed that something seemed different from usual.

She subconsciously glanced down, only to get a great shock as she exclaimed, “Ah!”

“What’s wrong?” asked Lucas, who had already woken up long ago and was quietly sitting on the edge of his bed while reading some documents.

But he soon saw her bosom, which was too striking to go unnoticed.

Perhaps because the straps of the nightdress were too smooth, they had slipped off her shoulders and exposed her…

“Uh…”

“Ah! Hurry up and look away!” Cheyenne shouted shyly and covered her chest with her arms. After thinking about it, she felt that something was amiss and hurriedly pulled her quilt over her chest to cover herself.

For a while, an awkward tension arose in the bedroom.
