Katherine clenched her palm tightly and waited two seconds, then heard the door shut.

The third row-the last one.

Katherine bit down hard on her molars, staring without daring to blink, her whole body sinking into overwhelming panic.

The wardrobe door opened with a sharp click.

Katherine squeezed her eyes shut.

The air seemed to freeze and the silence around them felt terrifyingly heavy.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds…

Katherine waited a full five seconds before hearing the wardrobe door close.

She opened her eyes and saw Lucas turn around his face dark as he looked at her.

Katherine was still tense, her eyes fixed on the wardrobe.

Did Lucas not find Julian and Ethan?

Clearly, he hadn’t.

Katherine blinked hard twice.

The room was empty.

So where are Julian and Ethan?

Shock surged through her, but she didn’t dare reveal even the slightest flaw. Swallowi fear, she looked at Lucas and asked, “Did you find what you were looking for? Do you me to lift the bed too, so you can check whether I’ve hidden the kids in some corner

A dangerous chill lingered on Lucas’s handsome face.

He hadn’t gotten the answer he wanted, and the disappointment was obvious.

This time, Katherine sounded far more confident. “I told you-I don’t have children. I don’t have children. How many times do you want me to repeat it?”

Then why are you staying in a family suite? Explain.”

Not finding the kids hadn’t eased Lucas’s suspicion at all.

Katherine staying in a family suite was the biggest red flag.

“Because the hotel had no other rooms available. This was the only one left, so I stayed here. Is there a problem?”

Katherine met Lucas’s gaze directly, perfectly calm, not avoiding his eyes in the slightest. There wasn’t a trace of guilt on her face.

But in truth, Katherine was lying.

There weren’t many vacant rooms at the hotel, but there were still some available.

Katherine knew there was a 50% chance Lucas would check.

And she was gambling on the other 50%.

Just as expected, Lucas still didn’t believe her and called to investigate personally.

Katherine’s heart felt like it was riding a roller coaster tonight.

While Lucas was on the phone, Katherine casually glanced out the window.

They were on the tenth floor. Julian and Ethan Couldn’t have climbed out the window.

And the bathroom door was open; she could se inside clearly. No one was there either.

Katherine couldn’t figure out where they were hiding.

Could they really have vanished into thin air?

After finishing the call, Lucas saw Katherine standing there, her eyes lifted toward hi

He pressed his lips together without speaking.

Did she really get through this on luck alone?

Summoning her courage, Katherine asked, “Well I didn’t lie to you. did I?”

After asking, she stared straight into his eyes, as if trying to read something from the darkness within them.

Lucas stepped toward her.

Katherine’s heart tightened.

Did he catch the lie?

Seeing his imposing approach, Katherine instinctively felt the urge to run.

She barely made it two steps before Lucas’s strong arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her back and tossing her onto the soft bed.

Katherine’s face turned pale. She struggled to sup, but the man leaned down and pinned her beneath him. “There’s actually a faster way to find out whether you’ve given birth.”

Lucas’s large hand gripped the belt of her bathrobe.

Her mind blanked for a split second from the sudden move, but she quickly realized what he

meant.

This lunatic.

Pervert.

Bastard.

She shoved hard against his chest. “Lucas, you bastard, let me go.”

She tried to push herself up and escape, only to be effortlessly pressed back onto the bed. “Why are you hiding? Afraid I’ll find something if I check?”

“W-what else do you want me to say before you believe me?”

“Katherine, you lie too much. Every day since you came back, you’ve been lying. I can’t believe a single word you say anymore.”
