Lucas pursed his lips as tears welled in his eyes.
He whisked her into his arms and hugged her tight.
“Honey, thank you... The moment that I have been waiting for has finally arrived,” he said hoarsely.
Is he crazy?
Ashlyn gritted her teeth. She was struggling to breathe from his bear hug.
Nonetheless, he continued excitedly, “I never thought you would be jealous and pissed off because of me... I thought that this long-awaited moment would never come true in my whole life.”
Although Ashlyn was irritated, she eventually calmed down when she heard the man’s pitiful voice.
His reaction shocked her.
Why would a prominent figure like Lucas behave in such a manner due to my little action?
She had to admit it touched her.
How is it possible?
As Ashlyn was at a loss, she was clueless about how she should respond.
Hence, she stayed in his arms.
I mean, is he a masochist?
Lucas hugged Ashlyn tight and didn’t move an inch, even though she tried to push him away gently.
Frowning, she said, “Lucas, let go of me. I can’t breathe.”
Lucas let go of her right after he heard it.
However, he still looked emotional.
“Honey, I love you.” He slowly lifted Ashlyn’s pretty face with his fingers and continued, “Promise me you will rely on me whenever you have any trouble. You don’t have to be a heroine all the time. I’m here. I always have your back.”
As soon as he finished, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Ashlyn was confused.
Rely on him... Have my back... These were the words she never thought she would hear.
