F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 83

When Lukas entered the room, he saw Cole chatting with Elias.

Ava looked surprised and asked, "Do you guys know each other?"

Elias grinned. "We don't just know each other. We've been old acquaintances for a long time."

A flash of surprise crossed Ava's cold face.

At this moment, Cole noticed Lukas's arrival and immediately stood up, "Mr. Strakovski."

Lukas glanced at him casually, "In private, you don't have to be so formal."

Carrying the food, I entered the room, deliberately avoiding Lukas and keeping a certain distance from him, as if he were a harmful object.

Lukas noticed my actions and his eyes darkened slightly, but he remained silent.

I opened the food, saying, "Ava, Cole, let's have dinner."

Elias opened his own food, smiling, "Lukas, let's eat too."

My mouth twitched. I felt that this scene was a bit odd.

For a moment, the aroma of the food filled the entire ward.

Elias looked at Cole and said with a smile, "Director Hopkins, I didn't expect you to be Ava and Designer Lopez's senior in college."

Hearing Elias's words, Ava subconsciously glanced at Cole, feeling flustered, "Who are you calling Ava? Don't call me like that."

Elias blinked, "But aren't you Ava? Isn't that your name?"

He clearly saw the change in Ava's eyes just now. He unintentionally glanced at Cole, and his gaze slightly darkened.

I saw this clearly. Afraid that Cole would misunderstand my relationship with Elias, I couldn't help but frown.

Though Lukas appeared to be eating, he always unintentionally observed my reactions.

Seeing me frown, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, his face darkened, "You can't even shut up during a meal. If you don't want to eat, go back to your own ward."

Elias quickly spoke up, "Okay, I'll shut up."

After finishing their meal, Cole took his leave, planning to come back to see Ava another day.

I accompanied him out.

Third POV

Lukas unwrapped a mint candy, stood in front of the corridor, and watched Cole and Aurelia below, his expression heavy, lost in thought.

Inside the ward, as soon as Cole left, Ava felt like she had been emptied, looking listless.

Elias was an astute person, experienced with many women, yet untouched by them. No matter the woman, he could see through her at a glance.

Ava's disappointment was too evident.

Elias casually replied, "Okay, I'll leave."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards the door. When he reached the entrance, he couldn't help but say to Ava, "Don't forget, you haven't answered my question yet."

Once Elias left, he saw Lukas standing outside with a dark expression.

He smirked, "You and Designer Lopez are in a close relationship on paper, but why didn't you even say a word when you met?"

Lukas hooked his lips, "As you said, it's just a relationship on paper."

Elias caught up with him, looking at Lukas teasingly, "I feel like you are not acting normal when she's around. Could it be that you're secretly in love with her, but you're keeping it to yourself like a shy person?"

Lukas's voice was indifferent, "You're overthinking it. I'm not interested in her."

If anything, he was interested in her designing talent.

Other than that, if he were to be asked what he liked about her, he'd only say that he liked how she could make him fall asleep easily as if he had no insomnia at all.

Elias was not convinced, "Don't be so stubborn. You might end up eating your own words one day."

Lukas snorted lightly, "Rest assured. That day will never come. You take care of yourself. I'm leaving."

Lukas walked away without looking back.

Elias blinked, feeling that Lukas was unusually confident.
