Husband With Benefits
Chapter 259: Brothers

Chapter 259: Brothers

Evangeline stared at Nora who stared back at her with exasperation. She found it hard to believe that they were talking about the same person. If Lucien Frost was a simple and staid accountant who was always bullied by his brothers, as Nora claimed, then she was sure that she could watch elephants tap dance next!

"If it is as you say and he is not a playboy, then you tell me, how is he an expert at seduction?" Evangeline asked with a frown. The memory of his voice, the way he had effortlessly ensnared her with mere words, still sent shivers down her spine.

Nora grinned at Evangeline’s perturbed expression and beckoned her closer as if letting her in on a secret. Evangeline leaned closer and Nora directly whispered," It could be because you are attracted to him."

Evangeline reeled back at Nora’s words and glared at her defensively," That is not it! I mean, I’m not attracted to him. It’s just... he has this way with words, and, well, it’s confusing."

Nora shrugged her shoulders," Too bad. These things always are."

Evangeline stared at Nora and licked the ice cream off her spoon," I need answers..."

"Then you need to ask questions." Nora answered helpfully.

"It is what I am trying to do!"

"You are asking the wrong person. You need to talk to Lucy."

"I don’t want to."

"Then ask his brothers." Nora handed her phone to Evana who looked at it as if she had never seen it in her life.

"You want me to ask his brothers, how he is as a man?"

"Of course. The Frosties are a tight-knit bunch who are always poking their nose in each others’ business. If he has any dirty laundry then they will know. And they will happily share."

"Why would they share the skeletons of their brother? Wouldn’t that be breaking of some kind of a bro code?"

"You’d think. But these guys are honest to a fault. So, as long as you need the truth, they will answer."

"Give me the phone. I’ll ask for you."

"There’s no need..."

Before she could refute more, Nora had already typed and fired a message in the Frosties Group," Evana here. Need dirt on Lucy! Any ex’s that she needs to beware of?"

Nora watched in amusement as Evangeline sat there restlessly waiting for a response. Soon, a series of dings sounded on their phone and Evangeline almost snatched the phone out of her hand, trying to see the chat.

However, as Nora watched, Evana’s expression soon turned to a frown and she glared down at her phone as if it had done her personal harm. And then she started to type out a response...Nora observed her keenly before she took possession of her phone as soon as the send icon was clicked.

And then Nora started to read the messages... giggling at the expected replies,

Ian: Lucy? Boring as a rock. The most scandalous thing he’s done is probably accidentally spilling coffee on his spreadsheet.

Seb: Lucy and skeletons? I don’t think he would even know what to do with them. His idea of a wild night is reading accounting cases and laws.

Gabe: The only ex I can think of is the one in the alphabet. Lucy has had a few crushes over the years but not a serious relationship. Unless he has hidden his women with those accounting files...

Ian: As if he can be that creative. I don’t think he’s even ever seen po*n!

Erasmi: I recently caught him doing something exciting. His words... He was washing his underwear and then stacking them according to the colors. That is the level of excitement you will get with him... and no dirty laundry because he washes it diligently!

As Nora chuckled, agreeing with the brothers and their assessment of Lucien, her eyes widened as she read Evana’s reply. She looked up from her phone with raised brows and read the message loudly this time," Lucifer is not boring. He’s responsible, disciplined, and focused. There’s depth to him that you guys clearly can’t see. Also, have you seen him ride a bike? You guys wouldn’t even know what to do with the handles!"

Evangeline pouted and crossed her arms in front of her," It is the truth. Lucien is not boring at all. And you said that these people know him best. Ha! What kind of brothers are they?"

"I don’t know about that. But it seems someone is vying for the Presidency of the Lucien Frost fanclub...."

Evangeline blushed realizing that she’d probably been too vehement in her defence of the man...

Nora smiled and held up her phone," Why don’t you see for yourself what they have to say now..."

Evana: ".."

Evana took the phone and almost threw it back as if it was a hot potato even as she felt her heart race at the comments.

Ian: Sister-in-law Evana is protective of Lucien. I like it. I’ll send my blessings to you both!

Gabe: We don’t have to worry about Lucien anymore. He has a protector. Welcome to the family sis.

Seb: Our future in bullying Lucy seems meek... Sad... Though, we welcome you sister Evana.

Erasmi: If he ever makes you angry, tell us, and we will be happy to bully him for you."

Muttering about having an important meeting, Evangeline raced away from there only to be followed by Nora’s laughter as she called out," You have a meeting at midnight? The man must be really responsible, diligent and focused... not boring at all..."

Lost in her own embarrassing thoughts, Evangeline hurried towards her mansion, muttering under her breath about people who knew no bounds and would tease others mercilessly.

Unfortunately, as she took a hurried turn, she collided head first into a solid figure. Gasping, she stumbled backward, only to find herself caught by a pair of strong arms around her waist. Looking up, she found herself locked in Lucien’s gaze and his arms.
