Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Kiss Ten More Times

His dark, profound eyes sparkled with a murky light, growing increasingly intense.

A hard-to-describe restlessness surged within him.

Lucas Shaw lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on a spot that was slowly changing, and he couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

These ascetic days, when would they ever end?

After some struggles, Lucas Shaw was covered in sweat.

He wrapped Serena Summers tightly in a bath towel, carried her back to the bedroom, then returned to the bathroom.

The cold water from the shower head cascaded down from his head, dispelling the unbearable heat within his body.

Lucas Shaw leaned his arms against the wall, the veins at his temples bulging due to his restraint and control.

After a long while, the restlessness finally subsided gradually.

When Serena Summers woke up, it was already broad daylight.

Oh no, to be more precise, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

She stretched lazily, her slender and pale arms emerging from the covers, making it hard to tell which was whiter.

She moved slightly, suddenly realizing something was amiss.

Looking down, she discovered that her clothes had been changed.

Without thinking, she knew who had done it. Serena Summers’s face turned red, she covered her cheeks with the quilt, hiding in it, not knowing if it was from the heat or from embarrassment, her cheeks burning hot.

When Lucas Shaw walked in, this was the scene he saw.

He chuckled lightly, walked to the bed, and slowly pulled at the quilt.

Serena Summers clenched tightly, unable to pull it at once, Lucas Shaw cleared his throat and said, "Aren’t you coming out? Do you want to suffocate yourself?"

Serena Summers stirred, slowly pulling down the quilt, revealing a pair of watery eyes.

Clear and distinct, with a hint of annoyance.

"Why didn’t you wake me up last night?"

Lucas Shaw smiled and rubbed the top of her hair, explaining, "You were so tired, I didn’t want to wake you."

Serena Summers bit her lip, afraid to meet his smiling eyes, "But, but you shouldn’t have bathed me!"

How embarrassing!

Lucas Shaw bent down, whispering close to Serena Summers’s ear, "Mrs. Shaw, wasn’t it you who said that if you fell asleep, you wished someone would bathe you? I was just fulfilling your wish."

"I just said that casually, how could you take it seriously!"

Serena Summers glared at him, her cheeks burning at the thought of him carrying her to the bathroom last night.

"Every word you say, I take seriously," Lucas Shaw said earnestly, his expression sincere.

Serena Summers’s heart felt like it had been heavily struck, quickening its beating.

"By the way, what time is it? Am I going to be late?" Suddenly, Serena Summers remembered that she still had to go filming.

Lucas Shaw stopped her, reassuring her, "Don’t worry, the male supporting actor in your crew is being recast, so you don’t have any scenes these few days. You can rest well."

"A recast?" Serena Summers was so shocked that her mouth fell open, suddenly recalling yesterday’s events.

Seeing what Serena Summers was thinking, Lucas Shaw nodded, a glint of icy killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"I’ve been busy inspecting projects, so I haven’t accompanied you to the set. If not for Adrian telling me, I wouldn’t have known that my Mrs. Shaw is so popular there."

Although Lucas Shaw spoke calmly, Serena Summers still detected a hint of jealousy in his tone.

She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, giggling, "Mr. Shaw, are you jealous?"

"Yes," Lucas Shaw answered honestly, "So, how does Mrs. Shaw plan to compensate me?"

"Umm..." Serena Summers pondered for a while, then brought her lips close to his, "How about, ten more kisses?"

Looking at the girl’s delicate lips, Lucas Shaw’s eyes deepened, and he began to kiss her while holding the back of her head.

His kisses were gentle, softly sucking and licking on Serena’s lips without any superfluous movements.

Serena Summers blinked, gazing at the face so close to hers, where the only sounds seemed to be the heartbeat and their mingling breaths.

Lucas Shaw also slowly opened his eyes and looked into Serena’s.

A smile tinted his gaze, deepening the kiss.

After lulling Serena to sleep, Lucas Shaw carefully got out of bed and went to the living room to make a phone call.

He looked at the person sprawled on the couch asleep and then at the mess on the dining table that had yet to be cleaned up, sighing helplessly.

Adrian Shaw was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard someone calling him, "Adrian Shaw, wake up."

"Stop it." Adrian rolled over, burying his face into a cushion on the couch, wanting to continue sleeping.

However, while sleeping, he suddenly felt his body suspended in air.

Startled awake, he realized that his upper body had left the comfortable couch and was hanging in midair.

Turning, he met his elder brother’s gaze, which seemed deadly.

Startled, he instantly became alert and hurriedly got up from the couch, walking towards the dining table, "I, I’ll clean up the dishes right now!"

"Stop." Lucas Shaw sat on the couch and gestured him over, indicating him to sit across from him.

Adrian Shaw swallowed nervously, but due to his elder brother’s intimidating presence, he sat back down.

"Big Brother, what is it?"

"Tell me, today at the film set, did that man bother your sister-in-law?" Lucas Shaw rubbed his forehead, feeling irritable.

If it weren’t for Vincent Carter holding him back, he would have gone to the set with Serena Summers himself.

Then he wouldn’t have to hear about Serena’s situation on set from others.

But what to do? Vincent Carter was Serena’s mentor and akin to her family, and he couldn’t offend him easily.

"It turns out you wanted to ask about that! Big Brother, don’t worry, I’ve been on high alert these past few days, I absolutely didn’t let that man touch sister-in-law... except during filming."

"During filming? Were there intimate scenes?" Lucas Shaw’s eyes turned cold.

Adrian Shaw appeared unconcerned, not taking the matter to heart, "Filming, intimate contact is very normal, right? Moreover, they are a couple in the drama."

"A couple?" Lucas Shaw clenched his teeth, his deep black eyes slightly squinting, emitting a chilling light.

No wonder Vincent Carter didn’t let him go to the set.

Realizing something was amiss, Adrian quickly explained, "It wasn’t too intimate though, just hugging at most, not even a kiss. And, the guy playing the second male lead probably won’t be able to come for several days."

"What happened?"

Adrian Shaw briefly described what happened yesterday afternoon and then, resting his chin in his hand, remarked, "I never knew Mr. Summers was such an impulsive person. If it gets posted online, it might start another fan war."

The scene yesterday was too chaotic; he only knew Declan Summers had beaten up Alexander Forrest, but didn’t know the exact reason.
