Too Late She Already Married Mr. Right (Sophia) novel Chapter 256

Emily nestled in Lucas's arms in the sightseeing bus. It had taken her ages, but she finally got him to come out to the resort with her.

She knew Lucas had been pissed at her ever since that night when Sophia schemed against her, and she ended up having a thing with David.

She wanted to make it up to Lucas, so she'd booked a hotel at the resort-hoping they could let loose for a few days, just the two of them, without a shred of shame.

She was determined-there was no way she couldn't coax him back.

"Lucas, I heard this is the VIP fishing spot. Try to catch a few more fish later, and tonight I'll grill them for you myself," Emily said, her voice sweet and full of anticipation.

Lucas's feelings for Emily were a tangled mess.

They'd been childhood friends for over twenty years, but now, to Lucas, Emily was more like something he couldn't really enjoy, yet he couldn't just walk away from her either.

There wasn't any real satisfaction left anymore, but to give up on her felt like too much of a waste.

Lucas glanced at the driver up front and spoke in a low, detached tone,

"Sit properly. Don't embarrass us in front of others."

Emily was pushed back by Lucas. She was tempted to shamelessly lean on him again, but her pride wouldn't let her risk the rejection.

She ground her teeth in irritation.

She thought, 'Lucas really is fed up with me now.

Emily looked up and noticed some people already camping out by the lake in the distance.

Emily frowned and questioned the driver, "Isn't this supposed to be the VIP fishing area? Why are there outsiders hanging around?"

The driver looked baffled. He replied, "Ms. Evans, I'm really not sure."

"I paid for the whole VIP section, and now there are random people here? You can't just tell me you don't know. Get the resort manager over here right now-I want an explanation," Emily demanded, her voice sharp and impatient.

The driver sneered to himself, 'Just another plaything who clawed her way up by sleeping around, and now she thinks she can boss me?'

He ignored her and said, "Maybe they paid more than you did, or maybe they're way more important than you think."

"What did you say?" Emily snapped, her eyes flashing with anger.

The driver wasn't about to put up with her attitude. He said, "Ms.

These days, every time Lucas looked at Emily, all he saw was how fake and over-the-top she'd become. He thought, 'Honestly, Sophia is way easier to be around-at least she never dives me up the wall like this.'

Emily hurriedly wiped her tears away and stammered, "H just want to stick up for you, that's all.

"Back when Yadel Group was on top of the world, nobody dared disrespect you. But now, people act like you don't matter anymore.

I just hate seeing you get treated this way, Lucas-it's because I care about you."

Lucas shot back, "Are you really worried about me, or is it just your pride you care about?"

Emily's eyes went wide, tears brimming again. She said, "How could you think that about me?"

By the time the sightseeing bus reached the end of the road, the driver had had enough of Emily's voice.

"Alright, we're here," he said, sounding relieved

Lucas stepped off the bus and instantly caught sight of a familiar face bustling around beneath one of the tents.

His eyes lit up with excitement, and he strode straight over, not wasting a moment.
