Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 206: Sovereignty Declaration

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Sovereignty Declaration

Serena Summers silently thought in her heart, although there was nothing, she was still somewhat happy.

After all, the meaning represented by a diamond ring is different from other things.

Lucas Shaw furrowed his brow and contemplated for a while before saying, "This time it’s quite rushed; by the time I got it, you had already secretly come here. If you hadn’t told me in advance, I would definitely have dragged you back."

Serena Summers withdrew her hand, blinking with a bit of guilt, "Dragged back? For what?"

Lucas Shaw sneered, "Lock you up, spank you, and see if you dare come to such a dangerous place in the future."

Serena Summers’ cheeks were burning hot. How could he say such risque words so seriously?

She hurriedly changed the subject, "I didn’t sneak out; I told you in advance."

Before coming, Serena Summers was afraid that he would worry, so she specifically discussed the matter with him.

He didn’t say he disagreed, nor did he agree. The next day, Serena Summers received a message from her company and hurriedly packed her things to come here.

Speaking of it, she did feel guilty.

"Now we are talking about your problem; don’t bring up those irrelevant things. What’s with that moment in the Friends Circle? I don’t remember ever posting anything in it last night."

And holding hands, how come she never knew before that he had such a sulky side?

Lucas Shaw coughed lightly, feeling uneasy, he touched his nose tip awkwardly and said in a deep voice, "It’s because that guy sent you a message in the middle of the night, knowing full well you are a married woman, yet still asking you out to dinner; clearly, he has bad intentions."

Serena Summers was amused by his jealousy-filled demeanor and couldn’t help defending, "He’s my senior, perhaps he just wanted to reconnect."

"They are not even in the same batch; what’s there to reconnect? When you were still in school, he had already graduated." Lucas Shaw’s face clouded over.

Silently, Serena Summers picked up a piece of meat and chewed it slowly.

She didn’t tell Lucas Shaw that during her university days, among the blind dates her advisor had introduced, one of them was William David.

Back then, she wasn’t interested in blind dates, so she just casually glanced at the photo.

At first, she didn’t recognize him, as there was quite a difference between William David and the boy in his student days’ photo.

Later, Dean Carter reminded her, and then she remembered.

Not knowing before but knowing now made it somewhat awkward to meet again.

Therefore, she hadn’t planned on keeping the appointment, but still she put down her chopsticks, "So, you posted in Friends Circle to warn him?"

"Not exactly a warning," Lucas Shaw said indifferently, giving Serena Summers a glance, and continued slowly, "Just a declaration of sovereignty."

Serena Summers: "..."

He put down his chopsticks, straightened his suit, and seriously said, "Mrs. Shaw, you should realize the seriousness of the situation."

"..."

"Your husband was upset all last night."

"...So?"

Serena Summers held back a laugh, wanting to hear what he’d say next.

"You need to compensate me."

"How should I compensate?"

Lucas Shaw’s slender phoenix eyes slightly squinted, he leaned back lazily against the chair.

Serena Summers propped her chin with both hands, waiting for him to speak.

After about half a minute, Lucas Shaw snorted coldly, "Figure it out yourself."

"Pff—" Serena Summers couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

How did he manage to say something so childish with such a mature and composed face?

Before the man’s face darkened, Serena Summers slowly restrained her smile and asked, "So... a kiss?"

Lucas Shaw did not directly answer but turned his face away, opening his arms, "Aren’t you coming over?"

Serena Summers laughed, stood up, walked over to Lucas Shaw, bent down to hold his face, and planted a kiss on his lips.

Just as she was about to pull back, a firm arm suddenly embraced her and pulled her into Lucas Shaw’s embrace.

After feeling dizzy for a moment, she firmly sat on the man’s lap.

His arms tightly embraced her waist, and through the thin layer of her nightgown fabric, Serena Summers could distinctly feel the burning heat of his palm.

A blush crept over her cheeks, her shimmering eyes fixed on him, "What are you doing? Haven’t I already made up for it?"

"Not enough." Lucas Shaw furrowed his brows, it all happened too quickly just now, he hadn’t had time to savor it before she pulled away.

Serena raised her eyebrows slightly, her slender arms hooked around his neck, slowly leaning in, "Then, how about another one?"

"Ten, no, make it a hundred." Lucas Shaw stubbornly held onto Serena.

How could one be enough?

Serena’s mouth twitched slightly, somewhat speechless, "One hundred, do you not want your lips anymore?"

Lucas Shaw lowered his eyes, his deep gaze landing on Serena’s lips, thinking, he wouldn’t mind losing them.

But he knew, if he spoke those words out loud, he would definitely be on the receiving end of an eye roll from Serena.

He cleared his throat, "Then let’s start with ten, and owe the rest."

His attitude was very firm, a hundred kisses, absolutely no less.

Serena held her forehead, feeling that if this didn’t pass, she had a premonition that today she might not be able to leave the hotel at all.

She tilted her head up, bringing her lips closer to his.

The man’s lips were slightly cool, mixed with a hint of crisp mint and the rich aroma of coffee.

Serena blinked her eyelashes, her heart rate suddenly sped up, like a wild horse that had broken free, frantically rampaging everywhere.

One.

Two.

...

Nine.

Just as Serena was about to pull away, a warm palm suddenly clasped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.

Unlike his petulant jealousy before, at this moment, he resembled an aggressive beast, wanting to devour her.

Serena was kissed until she was dizzy, her back against the hard edge of the desk, somewhat painful.

She furrowed her brows, wanting to push Lucas Shaw away, but a soft hand suddenly cushioned the sore spot.

Serena slowly opened her eyes, looking at the handsome face so close to her, a trace of emotion passing through her heart.

He seemed to understand her very well; just from a glance, a gesture, he knew what she wanted.

No one dislikes having their husband care about them a bit more, and Serena was no exception.

She liked today’s Lucas Shaw: his jealousy, his covert declaration of ownership, his petulant insistence on compensation, the way he held her and kissed...

She liked them all.

Brandon Reese waited at the hotel entrance and saw Lucas Shaw and Serena coming out, both glowing radiantly, showing no trace of last night’s anger and cold demeanor.

Serena followed by Lucas Shaw’s side, held by him as they walked out, her fair cheeks tinged with a blush, her red lips enticing.

With just one glance, Brandon understood what had happened.

He calmly shifted his gaze and professionally opened the rear car door.

Lucas Shaw placed his hand over Serena’s head, protecting it.

After Serena got into the car, he followed.

The two sat side by side, Lucas Shaw occasionally lowered his gaze, seemingly unintentionally staring at Serena’s mobile phone, but didn’t say a word.

Serena helplessly stroked her forehead, opened her WeChat, then clicked on Senior David’s chat.

"Look, I’m showing you. Did you see clearly? I have already rejected Senior David."

Lucas Shaw glanced at it and saw that Serena had indeed rejected William David.
