Lucas’ lips curved upwards, grinning. Throughout the years, he had encountered countless people from all walks of life.
Most of them would try to flatter him because they needed Lucas to do them a favor. There were some who would put on a pitiable front in an attempt to get Lucas to sympathize with them.
In short, others had never once treated him as an ordinary person all these years.
Susan was the first person he had encountered who treated him as though he was an ordinary young man, deserving concerns from a senior like her.
The man could feel the old woman’s sincerity through her gentle gaze as she looked at him in the eyes lovingly.
Although this kind old woman had been mistreated by her son and her daughter-in-law, she didn’t hold a grudge against them.
Instead, she dealt with it casually, as if it weren’t a big deal for her.
Deep down, Lucas was impressed because it wasn’t an attitude an ordinary person might possess in life. Perhaps the only one who could achieve such a state in life was the one who had gone through the extremes in life.
“Grandma, do you want to have some fruits?” Lucas asked gently, offering to cut Susan some fruits, signaling Spencer with his eyes.
Immediately, Spencer unboxed the pack of fruits they brought along and grabbed a few apples out of the box.
He was about to peel the apples, but Lucas stopped him, instructing, “Hand it over to me.”
Spencer shuddered at Lucas’ instruction. He almost accidentally pricked himself with the knife because he couldn’t believe his ears.
Is Mr. Nolan going to cut the fruits? Oh, God! Ms. Berry and Old Mrs. Berry are the only ones who have ever received such treatment in the whole of Lake City.
Ashlyn stared at the almighty Lucas as he held on to the knife with one of his gigantic palms; the apple with another one. He lowered his gaze and started peeling the apple.
An ordinary woman might fall for Lucas the moment they saw his flawless side profile.
The bright illumination in the ward enshrouded the man, adding a mysterious touch to the majestic man, intriguing the onlookers.
As Ashlyn lost herself while staring at the man’s gorgeous face, her cheeks flushed, and her heart pounded furiously.
She shouldn’t have stared at the man for such an extended period because it would put her rationality at stake. Although she was extremely familiar with Lucas, she would still be charmed by the man, who had been blessed with great features, if she were to stare at Lucas’ face for a long time.
