Chapter 290

Lucas rubbed his nose, looking a bit embarrassed. “I-I came to see Emily. I need to talk to her.”

Austin blocked the doorway with his whole body. “Whatever you want, just say it to me. I’ll decide if it’s worth telling Emily.”

Lucas frowned, making it obvious he had no intention of telling Austin anything.

But when he glanced up through the gap in the door, he happened to spot Emily sitting there on the couch.

She was so close that there was no way she hadn’t heard him, yet she didn’t even bother to look his way.

Lucas felt a pang in his chest; she really didn’t want to see him.

Realizing that, a dull ache spread through his chest, and he couldn’t help but raise his voice, “Emily, can you please talk to me? Just like we used to?”

Back then, Emily was the one Lucas trusted and leaned on most in the Bennett Family. Whenever he had something weighing on his mind, he’d always go to Emily. She’d listen, comfort him, and help him figure things out.

Lucas really missed those days and the Emily he used to know.

Maybe she could feel the emotion in his words. Emily, who’d been sitting on the couch without moving, finally stood up and walked toward the door.

She motioned for Austin to step aside, but made no move to let Lucas in. She stared right into Lucas’s eyes, like she was reading him like an open book. “Did your investigation lead you to Lydia?”

She knew Lucas all too well. Whenever he ran into something he just couldn’t accept, he’d end up feeling lost and down, always coming to her to vent and ask for advice.

Not long ago, Lucas had said he was going to look into that whole photo mess, and now he was here looking like this. It wasn’t hard to guess what had happened.

Seeing how well she understood him, Lucas didn’t know whether to feel comforted or just plain awkward.

“I-” He wanted to deny it, but when he met Emily’s eyes, the words just wouldn’t come out.
