Chapter 544 Surprise
Daisy glanced at the black umbrella in her hand. What does this have to do with me? Why is it about me again? Her car was right there, and the rain wasn’t heavy yet. A quick jog over wouldn’t get her soaked
Daisy drove, while Lynn sat in the passenger seat, looking utterly miserable.
“You’ve been married for one day and you’re already like this? Was getting married absolutely necessary Daisy asked.
Lynn forced a smile. “I have you to thank for that. You said he was a good man, and I just grabbed my ID and went downstairs. I don’t know when you brainwashed me.”
Daisy gave a bitter laugh. “Girl, if you didn’t like him at all, why would you be in such a hurry? You were scared he’d change his mind, so you ran off to tell him you’d get the certificate.”
Lynn definitely had feelings for Lucas. There was no way she’d rush to get a marriage certificate just because of what someone else said.
She just wasn’t ready to admit it to herself yet.
“It’s not that. I just feel like it’s the same with anyone. Lucas is at least a decent choice,” Lynn argued.
Daisy wasn’t convinced. “How can life be the same with anyone? You make it sound like you’re just settling. Lucas isn’t just ‘decent‘; he’s one of the best out there.”
Lynn retorted, “Lucas is a player. He hasn’t had a girlfriend, but I bet he’s slept with plenty of people…”
Daisy was speechless.
Then Lynn reconsidered. Actually, that doesn’t seem right either. Otherwise, why couldn’t Lucas undo my bra last night?
But if he hadn’t slept with anyone, Lucas gave off the vibe of someone with a lot of experience.
Daisy suggested, “Maybe he doesn’t sleep with women–he just watches a lot of porn.”
Lynn was at a loss for words.
They both couldn’t help but laugh.
Talking about this late at night made everything feel a bit dirty.
Lynn was lying in Daisy’s bed, her mind still on Lucas. She picked up her phone, opened his chat on WhatsApp, and saw that he was typing.
Lynn waited for a while. The “typing…” indicator kept blinking, but no message ever came.
Lynn finally texted him, steeling herself, “With the hurricane today, I’m off work.”

A long time later, Lucas replied, “Okay. Stay safe. Don’t let your car get flooded again. If I have to replace it now, it’ll be marital property.”
Lynn glanced at Daisy, who had just rolled over in bed.
Lucas had just killed the conversation. Lynn didn’t know how to reply.
She sent. “Thanks.”
Lucas was typing…
Lynn waited, but the message never arrived.
Just as she was about to fall asleep with her phone in her hand, Lucas called.
“Sleeping?” he asked.
Hearing his voice, Lynn tensed up for a second. A part of her suddenly really wanted to hear him, and here he was, calling.
Her voice was softer than usual. “No. The bed’s unfamiliar.”
Lucas chuckled on the other end.
Lynn’s heart started pounding wildly. Now, just hearing his voice makes me… ache.
She got out of bed and stepped onto the enclosed balcony. The hurricane wind howled outside, and she closed the door behind her.
“You’re at Daisy’s place?” Lucas asked.
“Yeah.”
Lynn usually considered herself socially fearless, but right now, she couldn’t find a good topic to talk to Lucas about.
“Come downstairs,” Lucas said.
Lynn paused. “Huh?”
Lucas said softly, “I have a gift for you.”
Lynn hurriedly opened the door and headed downstairs.
Daisy lived with her parents. Lynn moved quickly but carefully, afraid of waking the family.
She opened the front door and saw Anthony, frowning as he sat in a car.
Lynn said in surprise, “Anthony?”
Seeing Lynn come out, Anthony got out of the car. He opened the trunk, pulled out a bouquet of red

Anthony looked like he had something to say but stopped himself. He seemed awkward just looking at the red roses. “Lucas sent it,” he said.
Lynn glanced at her phone. The call was still connected. Otherwise, she’d definitely have a few sarcastic
