Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1823

“Shut up!”

Hearing Lucas’s familiar voice shocked Michele.

This made no sense at all.

Michele found it hard to believe the beautiful woman in front of her was Lucas in disguise.

She was in awe and the way she stared at Lucas made him feel uncomfortable. So he said, “Stop screaming, and I will let go of you.”

Michele nodded immediately.

Lucas let her go.

To be honest, it was a struggling challenge for Lucas to wear women’s attire. He tugged at the collar as if doing so would help avoid himself from getting out of breath.

Michele was still staring at Lucas in astonishment and swallowed.

Goodness!

This was the first time she saw a man dressed up as a woman, not to mention that Lucas looked awesome!

“Lucas, are you into cosplay?”

Lucas glanced at her, and then looked outside from the window. He noticed some unknown faces were setting up stalls.

Even though they seemed like they were setting things up, they were actually all looking straight into Yasmeen’s room. They didn’t look like ordinary small businessmen.

Lucas squinted slightly, and said at ease, “How was your detoxification going?”

“I just get started. It’s going to take a while.”

Michele saw Lucas looking down from the window, she decided to keep her thoughts to herself. She figured Lucas was doing so to look out for Yasmeen, but she still felt a bit bitter at heart.

How come all the good guys that she had a crush on were in love with other women?

Michele was a bit depressed, but there weren’t any struggles. After all, it wasn’t meant to be for her. It would be better to focus only on what you could do rather than what you want. Because there were things you might never get no matter how hard you fight for them.

“Are you here to see Yasmeen, Lucas?”

“I am. She’s having surgery tomorrow. If you can, help me check on her some time.”

What Lucas said did take Michele by surprise.

“You won’t stay to keep her company?”

“I’ve got other plans.”

Lucas wasn’t used to explaining everything to her, nor would he do so now. And for Michele, she never needed his explanation. She was always a good listener for him.

“I will go over to accompany her.”

“I appreciate it. You take care of yourself, too.”

Finally, Lucas said something caring looking at Michele’s pale face.

And that brought a smile to Michele’s face.

“Thank you, Lucas. I will be well.”

“Edison will be back shortly. And I am leaving soon to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Don’t tell anyone that you have seen me here today. You got it?”

“Alright.”

Michele nodded, however, she was a bit disappointed.

Lucas gazed around to make sure it was safe and he exited the room.

Kylie looked at her watch and whispered, “You were in there for five minutes. That wasn’t a short period of time.”

“Come on, Kylie.”

Lucas felt a bit speechless.

He understood that Kylie and Yasmeen were great friends. But nothing was going on between Michele and him. Why did Kylie have to time him like that?

Kylie didn’t care how Lucas would feel about that. There was no warmth in what she said, “I assume you are aware of how much Yasmeen has put herself out there for you. And if you wronged her, I would come after you.”

“I am aware, but I won’t.”
