Her Revenge Was His Regret (Shirley and Gilbert) novel Chapter 409

After their short conversation last time, Sherry realized Lucas must have done something to keep Irene from confronting her.

And whatever he did had cost him dearly.

Before this, no matter what was going on, the two of them were always together. But lately, his workload had obviously gotten a lot heavier.

He was coming home less and less, and they barely saw each other anymore.

It had to be connected to this, and deeply so.

Lucas showed no mercy to ordinary enemies.

The only reason he'd gone to such lengths was the complicated dynamics of his own family.

Sherry tugged gently at his sleeve—a small gesture, since he was driving and couldn't be distracted.

"Since we're talking about dates, I'm giving Adam one more chance.

"If this divorce still doesn't go through, he can drop his 'undefeated' reputation and call himself a total failure. A date? Not a chance."

She knew courts rarely granted a divorce in the first filing.

But she had to turn up the pressure on Adam.

Lucas focused on only one thing. "So you will go on a date with me."

It was a statement, not a question.

Sherry crossed her arms confidently. "We'll see how you behave."

"So I do have a chance." Lucas leaned in suddenly.

His strikingly handsome face filled her vision, accompanied by a clean, fresh scent. His deep eyes and soft lips seemed to beg her to kiss him.

She was utterly spellbound until she glanced outside.

She was about to push Lucas away, but someone outside beat her to it, tapping sharply on the car window.

She could see the woman outside tucking loose hair behind her ear, acting coy.

They had arrived home, and the woman knocking was Julia.

She hadn't spotted anyone inside yet and kept rapping on the door.

Sherry couldn't let her see her in there.

In the next second, Lucas' eyes darkened.
