Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Sign the Contract Early

As Lucas Shaw passed by Elena Ryan, he said coldly, "I remember Vincent Shaw already gave you the divorce agreement a long time ago."

"What do you mean?"

Elena Ryan looked at Lucas Shaw in shock, feeling uneasy in her heart.

"This family was already torn apart once because of you. If you still refuse to behave, then sign the papers and leave as soon as possible."

In fact, 17 years ago, after Lucas Shaw was found and brought back from being kidnapped, Vincent Shaw had already drafted the divorce agreement.

But Elena Ryan had always refused to sign it.

Vincent Shaw got so angry that he stopped coming home and lived elsewhere.

Master Shaw had always felt sorry for Elena Ryan these years, so he never brought up the matter of divorce again.

Elena Ryan never expected Lucas Shaw to say something like this.

Looking into Lucas Shaw’s cold and deep eyes, Elena Ryan couldn’t help but take a step back.

She swayed slightly, nearly falling to the ground.

Liam Shaw reacted quickly, supporting her to prevent her fall.

Watching the unfeeling back of Lucas Shaw as he left, Elena Ryan felt a sourness in her nose and couldn’t restrain her tears from welling up.

"Liam, did you hear that? Lucas is actually trying to drive me away!"

Liam Shaw sighed helplessly.

"Mom, if you keep making a fuss like this, I can’t help you either."

Elena Ryan shook her head in disbelief, "Liam, how can you take their side too?"

"Mom, haven’t you realized the reality yet? Serena is Lucas’s Achilles’ heel, he will not tolerate anyone touching her."

Liam Shaw felt Elena Ryan was beyond help.

Serena was the Shaw Family’s lifesaver. Just for that reason alone, Elena Ryan shouldn’t have insulted and harmed Serena Summers.

Elena Ryan shook her head bitterly, repeating as if she was going mad, "Even you’re not on my side..."

Upstairs, Lucas Shaw laid Serena Summers on the soft bed.

"Sleep now, I’ll watch over you."

Serena clasped Lucas Shaw’s hand and slowly drifted into sleep.

She was truly exhausted.

Every day coming out of the laboratory, she felt like a fish out of water.

Desperately in need of replenishment through sleep.

The long entanglement with Elena Ryan and Clara Shaw had pushed her to her limits.

After Serena fell asleep, Lucas Shaw gently bent over and kissed her forehead.

His dark, profound eyes were filled with guilt.

He had made a promise that as long as he was around, no one would be able to hurt her.

Yet today, if Serena hadn’t dodged in time, the water glass would have hit her...

Lucas Shaw dared not continue the thought.

Just the possibility made his heart tense fiercely.

Serena never expected to wake up and see Lucas Shaw still sitting by the bed.

He was leaning against the headboard, staring intently at the laptop screen.

One hand was held tightly by him.

The other was typing swiftly on the keyboard.

Serena gazed unblinkingly at the profile of Lucas Shaw’s face, as her drowsiness gradually faded.

Her gaze was so intense that Lucas Shaw turned his head with a slight smile.

"Awake?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes!"

Lucas Shaw put the laptop on the nightstand, preparing to get out of bed.

However, his hand was tightly grasped by Serena, who refused to let go.

"Be good, I’ll go to the kitchen to get you some food, I’ll be back quickly," Lucas Shaw coaxed softly.

"Then come back quickly," Serena pouted, her eyes full of reluctance.

Seeing her dependent demeanor, Lucas Shaw felt a warmth fill his heart.

"Okay."

After receiving his promise, Serena let go of his hand.

She curled up in the blankets, a small bundle looking languid and listless.

Lucas Shaw’s heart had melted into a puddle.

After dinner, Serena Summers was full of energy.

She stretched lazily, then leaned into Lucas Shaw’s arms and started a game.

Her demeanor was relaxed, not mentioning Clara Shaw or Elena Ryan at all.

As if that incident had never happened.

Lucas Shaw lowered his gaze, the guilt in his eyes deepening.

"Serena, if they dare to hurt you again, you can fight back boldly without being polite."

Serena paused her movements, lifting her gaze in surprise.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Aren’t you worried that I might actually kill them?"

Beneath the light, the young girl’s skin was fair, her delicate face soft and lustrous, with not a hint of aggressiveness.

But the words she spoke were unexpectedly startling.

Lucas Shaw’s fingers paused on the keyboard, chuckling helplessly.

"I know you are capable, but I trust you to have restraint."

Serena was pleased with Lucas Shaw’s confident tone.

She reached out, wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, and gently pressed a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

"If they don’t provoke me, I won’t make the first move."

"Mm, if they dare to touch you again, I won’t let them off either."

"That’s for the best!"

Serena hummed lightly, restarting another game.

Listening to the continuous mechanical sounds of the game beside him, Lucas Shaw couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Before meeting Serena, Lucas Shaw was alone.

The quietness by his ear seemed devoid of any liveliness.

Since Serena entered his life, many new colors had suddenly appeared in his world.

After finishing the documents, Lucas Shaw slowly closed his computer.

He turned his head to look at Serena, who was playing her game with intense focus.

The girl leaned against the headboard, her head slightly bowed.

Her eyes, black and clear as gemstones, stared at the screen of the phone, and her long black hair casually draped over her shoulders, obscuring her fair and exquisite profile.

Her expression was calm, with no sign of panic or anxiety in her eyes.

But her hands were swift and decisive, showing no mercy.

Lucas Shaw watched her, becoming gradually mesmerized.

After finishing a battle, Serena lifted her head contentedly, moving her neck.

As she turned, she met a burning gaze.

The man’s eyes were dark and profound, flickering with an unclear light within.

He looked straight at her, his thoughts unknown.

Serena paused for a second, then reached out to wave her hand in front of the man.

"Husband, what are you looking at?"

"Looking at you," Lucas Shaw blurted out.

As the words fell, Lucas Shaw suddenly came back to his senses.

Meeting Serena’s clear, piercing gaze, Lucas Shaw’s earlobes, hidden beneath his thick black hair, tinged with a hint of red.

He coughed lightly, his thin lips parting slightly, about to explain instinctively.

But before he could speak, Serena drew closer, blinking her large watery eyes and staring straight at him.

"Husband, do I look pretty?"

Serena looked at Lucas Shaw with expectation.

Her cherry-like lips, flushed with shyness, were lightly pursed.

"Yes, you do." Lucas Shaw answered truthfully.

He wasn’t lying; Serena was the most beautiful and delicate girl he had ever seen.

Her small face was fair and fine, blushing with shyness, even the corners of her eyes tinted with a touch of red.

Her appearance was both innocent and cute yet merged with seductive beauty just right.

"Do you like me then?"

Serena leaned her cheeks closer, her moist, clear eyes intently fixed on the man in front of her.

Her eyes were full of hope.
