Irene heard a thud outside and walked over to the door warily before looking outside.
"My brother is back!" Sam spotted Lucas standing next to the garbage can next to the door.
"Mr. Sam, you should go back to the Main Block!" Irene tensed and started sweating nervously when she saw the wary look in Lucas' eyes.
"Sure, I'll go. If he comes after you, just blame everything on me and tell him that I insisted on coming in," Sam said before exiting the house.
He walked out of the yard and stopped before Lucas. "Did you have fun at Bennett's mansion? Your little servant waited the whole night for you, saying that you would be back. Haha... You should probably console her!" Sam teased and headed back to the Main Block after spotting Lucas's clenched fists.
Irene opened the front door of the South Block and waited for Lucas to enter, but he remained frozen like a statue in the yard without saying a single word or moving.
The cold air entered the living room, and unable to stand it any longer, Irene started walking toward Lucas.
"He's angry," she thought. "Is it because Mr. Sam was here, or because he overheard what we said?"
Whichever it was, Irene did not feel guilty.
