Lucas continued to gaze at her face, speaking seriously, "Aveline, think about it carefully. Are you really at a loss?"
Aveline hesitated for a moment.
If she thought it through, it didn’t seem like she was losing out at all.
Lucas was the one putting in the money and effort, and on top of that, he only wanted to sleep with her. His skills in bed were undeniable, and he brought her considerable pleasure.
It was just a matter of spending a bit of time in bed with him.
Besides, it wasn’t like it was their first time.
There wasn’t much to be conflicted or to struggle over.
After a pause, she replied, "I need to think about it."
Lucas nodded. "Let me know when you’ve made up your mind."
Aveline didn't respond, turning away and leaving.
Lucas watched her retreating figure, a faint smile slowly appearing on his lips.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen—it was Baron calling.
"Yes?" he answered.
Baron’s voice was respectful. "Mr. Tudor, we’ve investigated what Mrs. Tudor asked us to look into. The people who harassed the orphanage were bodyguards from the Cooper family."
The Cooper family?
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly. "Find out what connection Hilda has with the Cooper family."
"Understood."
…
The orphanage covered a large area. At the entrance was a spacious open ground where the children usually played. The three-story building served as their living quarters, and behind it was a small yard.
Hilda used to grow vegetables there for self-sufficiency, but Zachary had since transformed it into a simple playground. It now had swings, hopscotch, and other things for the kids to enjoy.
Aveline sat on one of the swings, letting the cool breeze brush against her. She tried to wrestle with her thoughts, but the more she considered, the less reason she found to refuse.
With his resources, Lucas could save her a lot of trouble.
