His Eagle Eyes on Me novel Chapter 2572

The door to the South Block closed, and Lucas returned to his bedroom. He picked up his phone to inform Irene that he would not be able to spend her birthday with her.

He hesitated as he contemplated whether to text or call her. If he called her, Irene would certainly ask why, and Lucas did not want to tell her that he could not keep his promise because he had to go to Kasey's birthday party instead.

Feeling embarrassed for being forced to make such a decision, he struggled for a while before texting Irene.

[Let's not watch a movie tomorrow.]

Irene walked out of the shower and picked up her phone to check the time when she noticed a message from Lucas.

"We are not going to the movies tomorrow? What happened?" she thought before replying. [Alright.]

Lucas felt slightly upset when he received her reply and wondered why she had not asked him why. She could be rather persistent at times, like when she had dragged him to his lessons.

Irene gripped the phone. She wanted to ask him whether he had other plans in mind if they weren't going to the movies, but she dared not question his decision. Once again, she reminded herself that she was a servant who worked for him. Since Lucas had told her that they were not going to the cinema and had not proposed another plan, it simply meant that he was refusing to spend her birthday with her.

She sat down in her chair and turned on the lights to start studying when she received another message from Lucas.

[I need to go out to get something done tomorrow. Wait for me in the South Block tomorrow night. I will come back to celebrate your birthday with you.]

Her lips curled into a smile at his message, and she swiftly replied, [Sure!]

She did not ask about what he needed to do, deciding that she could ask him about it when they saw each other.

Lucas had asked her about what she wanted after graduating from university, but she had never given it much thought. Getting into university was a struggle on its own, and even if she managed to get into her dream university, she would still have to worry about tuition.

People had all sorts of troubles even when they owned everything, whereas she was the opposite of that. She had nothing to her name and far too many troubles. She decided that she would take it one step at a time as fate pushed her forward, not allowing her a single moment to pause and think.

If Lucas had not given her the morning off, she would never spend time contemplating her life. She would normally fall asleep right away.

She twisted and turned in bed till midnight before finally drifting off to sleep.

At ten the next morning, Irene arrived at the Woods' mansion.
