The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin) novel Chapter 786

Besides him, Anthony, Chad, and Lucie were all watching Lyra, waiting for her choice.

Lyra took the pea pod in her hand, lowered her eyes, and did not answer immediately.

Lucie smiled. "It's really hard to pick two guys who are so handsome. If it were me, I'd want both."

She tried to lighten the atmosphere, but none of them laughed.

It was a joke, but they seemed to take it seriously.

Lucie stopped laughing awkwardly.

Facing the gazes of a few people, Lyra did not have a special expression on her face. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "I don't want to choose him. I don't even know him. Why should I choose him as my husband?"

Malcolm swallowed hard and he tasted a bitter taste in his mouth.

Too bitter, too bitter.

So bitter that his tip of his nose turned sour. Looking down, he was depressed for a long time.

Chad didn't look too good either, but he stayed by Malcolm's side, feeling sorry for his instantly pale face.

Besides, Anthony's face was no better than the other two men's.

He was right. Now Lyra wouldn't pick Malcolm.

But he wasn't happy, because Lyra had gotten to know him and trusted her through the courting of the past few days. Buteven then, she still didn't pick him over the unknown Malcolm.

Three men stood stiffly in the yard.

Lucie couldn't help but bring out some benches and let them sit.

Then she asked Anthony, "Do your guests want to stay for dinner? It's late, and it's getting dark in the mountains. I'm afraid you'll have to sleep over tonight, but..."

"There are only two beds in the house and a wooden sofa. I'm afraid you all can't sleep here."

Anthony thought of NIB officers waiting at the top of the hill and said, "No, Lucie, they're not..."

Before he could finish, Malcolm said hoarsely, "It doesn't matter. Chad and I can sleep on the floor, as long as we have two quilts. It's really hard to come out after dark, thanks Lucie."

In spite of his best efforts, his pale face could not be seen in the dim light, and his hoarse voice was still choked up.

Lyra's hand paused as she peeled the pea pod. She glanced sideways at him again.

Lucie was the only one who didn't notice that Malcolm was having emotional problems. She just looked at Malcolm and Chad's clothes.

Military uniform, so they were either rich or noble.

"It's no troublesome, but I'm afraid you two gentlemen would feel uncomfortable living here."

Chad answered with a smile for Malcolm, "No, Lucie, here the air is good. The scenery is beautiful. Staying here overnight is our honor."

Sleeping on the floor was not a big deal. He remembered when going to the border with Malcolm, they were sleeping in the mud for twelve hours.

Lucie smiled, and the atmosphere eased a little.

But people's joys and sorrows were not the same, and Malcolm's eyes hadn't moved since he saw Lyra.

Seeing him so upset, Lyra didn't seem to react at all.

She really... didn't remember him?

How did this happen?

His gaze fell from Lyra's face to her fingers as she peeled the pea pods.

On the ring finger, there was a familiar red jade ring.

Malcolm took two steps forward, squatting unwillingly in front of Lyra's stool. His hoarse voice quavered as he asked,

"Really... Don't you remember me?"
