F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 86

My heart turned cold like the chilling wind from the Antarctic.

I never expected that Lukas's intention was purely physical, with no emotions involved.

Perhaps, when I initially proposed to register our marriage and make him my backup plan, I should have expected this.

Thinking about the recent events, my heart grew colder, but my mind became calmer.

I remained silent for a few seconds. Instead of getting up to drink water, I just turned over and lay down, stiffly occupying half of the big bed.

Lukas's eyes flickered as he naturally pulled back the covers and lay on the other side.

The comforting scent beside him unknowingly lulled him to sleep.

A peaceful night's rest.

The next morning, Lukas opened his eyes, still contentedly holding me in his arms.

Looking at the person in his arms, his expression was slightly unnatural.

Recalling last night's events, he carefully let go of me and got out of bed to take a shower.

As soon as he closed the bathroom door, I opened my eyes.

I thought that the reason I hadn't lost my temper yet was because although Lukas talked about marital obligations, he hadn't really forced me to do anything during the nights we spent together.

I was curious to see what Lukas really wanted.

I got up and headed directly to the guest room's bathroom. When I saw the familiar shampoo and shower gel there, my expression became somewhat awkward.

Could it be that Lukas used this?

After finishing my shower, Lukas had already left the master bedroom. I changed my clothes and went to work.

As I passed through the living room, I saw Lukas having breakfast.

I walked straight towards the door, and Lukas's eyes darkened, "Why don't you have breakfast?"

Without stopping my steps, I replied, "No need. I'm not hungry."

Lukas's expression soured. He stared at my back without saying a word.

He knew that his domineering attitude last night might have been a bit excessive, but in the end, he hadn't done anything to me.

As the door closed, Lukas coldly snorted, losing his appetite as he looked at the bread in his hand.

At the company, I started drawing design drafts.

Although no one asked me to design, I had a habit of drawing whenever I had inspiration. This way, when needed, I would have multiple options to choose from.

Around ten o'clock, Olivia left for a moment.

When she returned, she had a triumphant smile on her face, with Ella following behind her.

She glanced provocatively at me and turned to Ella, saying with a smile, "Miss Rhodes, we've almost finished discussing yesterday. You've seen my preliminary design sketches. Today, we can sign the private customization contract, right?"

I felt flattered. I never expected that a small favor yesterday would lead Anthony to give me business today.

Seeing my stunned expression, Anthony couldn't be help but laugh, "Miss Lopez, are you planning to negotiate with me here?"

I immediately shook my head, "Mr. Rivers, please come this way. Let's go upstairs."

Anthony smiled and followed me into the elevator.

It was only now that I realized that Anthony had indeed come to commission a private order from me.

I glanced at Anthony with a complicated expression, "Mr. Rivers, you've never seen my jewelry designs. To choose me directly like this, what if you end up disappointed?"

Anthony smiled warmly, "Where did you get that idea? I haven't seen your designs, but I trust in your ability and character. I believe in you, and I trust that your designs will be perfect."

Anthony's words were like a booster shot for me.

I looked at Anthony earnestly, "Mr. Rivers, rest assured, I will definitely satisfy you."

Anthony tilted his head to look at me and grinned, "I'm really looking forward to it."

As I and Anthony entered the design department, in the meeting room, Olivia had already taken out the preliminary private customization contract and was about to sign it with Ella.

Just then, Ella abruptly stood up and placed the contract on the table.

She had a surprised and anxious expression, "Designer Williams, I'm sorry, I just saw someone I know."

After saying that, Ella quickly walked out.
