Chapter 715
He was actually bothered about that!
Sheena smiled, gently placing her hands on his cheeks.
“Are you jealous?”
“Mmhmm. I’m a little upset.”
He turned his gaze away in frustration, and his handsome face seemed to say, ‘I’m aggrieved, so coax
when yours!
“Eli, you’re so cute Sheena suppressed a smile, tiptoed, and kissed his thin lips softly, using her soothing voice to comfort him.
“Now, now. I’ll remember everything about you and forget about others, alright?”
Elliot’s expression warmed. “I’ll hold you to your words.”
Sheena nodded eagerly, and the two embraced tightly, watching the plane carrying Nathaniel depart
from Froania.
Outside the airport, as they heard the plane take off, Lionel lit a cigarette and took a drag, the smoke lingering.
Lucy observed his expression silently, sensing he was not in a good mood.
“Lionel, don’t you want Mr. Nicholls to leave?” Lucy asked.
Lionel took a deep drag before answering, “He whipped me 113 times back in the dungeon in Laubabwe.”
It bothered him that he could not “return the favor” to Nathaniel for the lashes.
Lucy laughed and said, “Theard you’ve hit him on behalf of Mr. Jenkins several times afraid it’s more than just these 113 lashes.”
I’m
“That’s true. If you calculate the difference, I still came out on top. So, I’ll reluctantly let him go,” Lionel replied with the cigarette in his mouth, sounding generous.
Lucy chuckled, silently sighing that despite his ruthless methods, he had a soft heart. Hence, he was definitely not a bad person.
The smell of tobacco in the car was strong, and it irritated her nose.
Unaware, Lionel continued to smoke.
Lucy pouted, and her mood instantly soured.
Lionel indeed lacked experience in caring for people. There was a girl in the car. He should have been
more considerate, even while smoking
Her clear eyes glinted mischievously as she suddenly leaned over, snatched the cigarette from Lionel’s hand, and smirked,
Lionel was puzzled, asking, “What are you doing?”
“You look cool smoking. I want to give it a try too!” Lucy sounded naive, following his actions, and putting the cigarette in her mouth.
“Wait! I’ve already used that one!” Lionel’s face changed drastically.
He was about to stop her, but Lucy had already put the cigarette in her mouth and took a deep drag, completely unfazed by the fact that it had his saliva on it.
She immediately started coughing violently.
The consequence of taking a strong drag without knowing how to smoke was that she got choked.
Lionel quickly helped her catch her breath. “You’re still young. If you don’t know how to smoke, don’t try. It’s not something fun!”
Still coughing, she asked, “If it’s not fun, then why do you smoke? If it’s something you like, I want to
learn to like it too!”
Her little face turned red from coughing, and her clear, earnest eyes stared at Lionel.
Feeling a slight tug at his heart, Lionel immediately snatched the cigarette from her hand, decisively extinguished it, and threw it away. He then opened the car’s heating system and set it to circulate outside, dispersing the smell of smoke.
“I don’t like smoking. I won’t smoke in the future, and you’re not allowed to learn it either!”
Lucy obediently nodded, hiding the victorious gleam in her eyes.
She continued, “So, when will you teach me martial arts?”
Do you really want to learn from me?”
“Of course!” Lucy looked at him earnestly. “I’ve said it before, I want to be the sharpest tool in your hands! In the future, when you go on missions, I want to go too. I want to help you deal with bad people!”
Lionel initially thought she was joking, but she was actually being serious.
