Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 524

Chapter 524 Some Basic Rules

“I think we need to talk about a few things,” Lucas said, his tone surprisingly gentle.

“Huh?” Lynn wasn’t sure what he wanted to discuss.

“You’re sure you want to marry me, right?” Lucas asked.

Lynn stayed quiet for a moment. Isn’t it obvious? We’ve been living together here for a while now.

Lucas placed his phone on the table and slid it toward her. “If we’re getting married, we should follow some basic rules.”

Lynn was speechless. Rules? What rules? Is he calling me unfaithful?

At least, that was how it sounded to Lynn.

Lucas continued, “I want you to set a good example for our future family. Maybe watch fewer videos of other men on your phone. You already have me right here. If word gets out, people might think I’m not treating you well. Our family isn’t that stingy.”

Lynn didn’t dare argue about being “treated well.”

And “not stingy“? Since when has Lucas been generous?

If I want to touch Lucas‘ abs right now, will he even let me?

Looking at other guys was free. Looking at Lucas could be deadly.

Even if Lucas agreed, Lynn wouldn’t have the guts to do it anyway. She could tap and swipe all she wanted on her phone screen, but she didn’t dare lay a finger on Lucas.

“Did you hear me?” he asked, even that question sounding soft.

“Can I ask you something?” Lynn said.

“Go ahead.”

“Back when I called off the engagement, why didn’t you say anything?” Lynn looked at him seriously. She was curious about what kind of man Lucas was.

She’d been utterly humiliated that day, her family telling her not to make a scene. She was ready to back down, but Lucas just stood there like it was nothing.

She’d asked this question at least three times before.

Lucas didn’t answer. He didn’t know how to explain.

He hadn’t liked the arranged marriage idea at first. Even though Lynn was beautiful, he hadn’t felt any spark back then.

Chapter 524 Some Basic Rules

Lynn pressed on, “Then why did you come back and agree to it later?”

She never felt like Lucas was pursuing her. It seemed more like he was a puppet giving in to family

pressure.

Before, Lucas would always say, “I need someone to build a life with, and you happen to be the best choice.”

Lynn was tired of that answer. Sometimes she sensed his attitude went beyond just a businesslike marriage

arrangement.

Lucas stayed silent this time too. He was confused by his own recent changes toward Lynn. He couldn’t quite make sense of his own behavior.

“Lynn, just focus on being my wife. I’ll give you anything you want. But don’t you dare cheat on me.”

He was genuinely worried Lynn might like one guy today and another tomorrow, that he’d just be one option among many for her.

Lynn was annoyed. I just looked at a few hot guys. How does that make me someone who’d cheat?

She wasn’t happy with his answer. She’d thought that night he dragged her back from the bar and gave her a car meant he had some feelings for her, even a little.

Now it seemed like there was nothing. He was just putting on a good show, keeping up appearances for

everyone.

She didn’t reply. She picked up her phone, stood, and walked past him, heading upstairs to bed barefoot.

Lucas looked at the pair of white slippers on the floor, hooked them with two fingers, and followed her.

Lynn reached the guest room and was about to close the door when Lucas appeared in the doorway, holding her shoes.

She glanced at him; his face was blank and vacant. She frowned, snatched the shoes from his hand, and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Lucas stood outside the closed door, his shoe–hooking fingers still hanging in the air. He froze for a second, then turned to leave.

Just then, Lynn’s door opened.

She met his eyes. “Do you want to sleep with me?”

Lucas was stunned. She’s asking that?

Lynn continued, “If you don’t want to have sex with me, stop lurking outside my door. It makes me nervous. We’re not even married yet.”

She paused, then added, “And I did call off the engagement before. You never said no.”
