Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire-Chapter 70 - Jealousy
70: Chapter 70 Jealousy
70 -70 Jealousy
Seeing her enjoying the food, Lucas Shaw’s lips couldn’t help but lift slightly.
He leaned back in his chair, his gaze following Serena Summers’ hand as she picked up the food.
Suddenly, a thought popped into his mind: Thankfully, his treasure had returned to his side even after seventeen years.
Lucas Shaw suddenly thought of Everett Parker.
Thankfully, he hadn’t realized Serena’s goodness, otherwise…
The thought of the engagement between Serena and Everett made Lucas feel a sourness in his heart.
His treasure was priceless, and Everett was nowhere near worthy of her!
“Serena, do you have an engagement with Everett Parker?”
“Everett Parker, who?” Serena, eating halfway, suddenly heard a familiar name.
She paused for over ten seconds before she remembered who Everett Parker was.
However, she didn’t know that her subconscious reaction pleased someone full of jealousy.
Lucas Shaw’s lips slightly curved up, a dazzling brilliance reflected in his dark pupils, strikingly brilliant.
“An unimportant person,” Lucas Shaw said.
Serena put down her utensils, took a big gulp of water, and addressed Lucas Shaw, “I know who you’re talking about now!
Everett Parker… seems like he’s Grace Summers’ fiancé!”
Seeing her seriously pondering something, Lucas suddenly thought she was thinking about another man.
He quickly leaned in and asked softly by Serena’s ear, “You remember so clearly?”
Unaware of Lucas Shaw’s jealousy, Serena honestly replied, “I met him this morning, and for some reason, he and Grace randomly said I liked him!”
Mentioning this, Serena’s little face scrunched up, her tone full of dislike.
“That Everett Parker, he’s not even half as good-looking as you, hubby!
How could I like such an ordinary and overconfident man?”
In Serena’s heart, no one could ever surpass her husband!
When it comes to looks, even his senior brother pales in comparison!
Thinking about how Lucas Shaw was now hers, Serena was overjoyed, and she suddenly leaned over and “pecked” him on the face.
Lucas Shaw, suddenly kissed by his little wife, was stunned for a moment, feeling the faint fragrance in his breath and the soft moistness on his cheek, his heart instantly softened.
Even that sense of jealousy disappeared completely, without a trace.
Master Shaw came downstairs, only to see his usually cold grandson being kissed by his granddaughter-in-law, standing there, as if stunned.
He helplessly shook his head, thinking to himself: Really hopeless, he didn’t learn any of my flair from back in the day.
But seeing the sweet relationship between the two, Master Shaw was filled with gratification.
The meal left Serena very satisfied.
Her physique was special; once she expended too much energy, she easily felt drowsy and weak.
So, every time she came out from Liam Shaw’s laboratory, Serena was like a drained fish, completely listless, and just wanted to fall asleep instantly.
She slept soundly for five hours in the afternoon, and having eaten and drunk her fill, Serena felt revived.
Lucas Shaw sat beside her, helplessly and tenderly rubbing Serena’s slightly distended belly.
“If you feel tired, take a rest for a couple of days.
It has been in my body for twenty-four years, a couple of days won’t matter.”
Seeing Serena work so hard to research the antidote for him made Lucas Shaw both happy and heartbroken.
“It’s okay.
I’m not tired, I just have a unique physique,” Serena quickly reassured, patting her chest, seeing Lucas Shaw’s worried face.
“My research has already made some initial progress, I just got the latest basic data yesterday.”
Mentioning this, the young girl’s fair and cute face was filled with joy and excitement.
“So soon?” Lucas Shaw showed a surprised expression.
He knew Serena Summers was highly skilled in medicine, even receiving praise from Professor Parker for her acupuncture skills.
But he didn’t expect that in the field of medical research, Serena was also outstanding.
Liam Shaw had also tried to undertake such research before, but ultimately ended up with nothing.
Three years ago, Liam even specially invited the most famous medical team from abroad to study the toxin in his body.
But after a long time, they came up empty.
That Serena could make progress in such a short time, one could imagine her medical skills were far superior to Liam’s.
She might even surpass seasoned predecessors like Professor Parker.
Lucas Shaw was secretly surprised, but more than that, he was filled with a proud joy.
His little girl was really impressive.
He doubted there was another girl in the world as smart, beautiful, sweet, and charming as Serena.
Lucas Shaw reached out his hand, tightly holding Serena’s soft, boneless hand in his palm, feeling an indescribable bitterness and emotion.
It must be that the heavens had heard his desperation, thus specifically sending this little girl to save him.
Serena had no idea about the storm raging in Lucas Shaw’s heart.
Her gaze fell on their intertwined hands, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve slightly upward.
Her husband was holding her hand.
The man’s hands were large, warm, and filled with rough calluses, completely different from hers.
“Husband, are you praising me?”
“Yes, Serena, you are great.

You are the most excellent girl I’ve ever met.”
Lucas Shaw lifted his hand, gently rubbing the top of the girl’s fluffy hair.
Serena narrowed her eyes, a look of enjoyment on her face as she gently nuzzled in the palm of his hand like a coquettish kitten.
Lucas Shaw’s usually hard heart instantly melted into a pool of spring water.
Suppressing the urge to kiss her face, Lucas Shaw reluctantly looked away.
“By the way, that girl who splashed hot water on you has been taken to the police station.
According to the investigation, that person is indeed a fan of Grace Summers.”
Mentioning this matter, Lucas Shaw’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
He asked in a deep voice, “How do you plan to handle this?”
Serena’s attention had been focused on the back of Lucas Shaw’s hand.
Seeing him release her hand, Serena pouted in dissatisfaction.
Childishly, she pulled his hand back, placing it back onto her own.
Looking at their hands overlapping again, a satisfied expression immediately appeared on Serena’s face.
“This matter, if said to be small, can be small; if big, can be big.
This morning, Grace Summers specifically stopped me at S University to exchange pleasantries, just for today’s drama, wasn’t it?
But it seems she forgot, I’m not easy to mess with either.”
Serena narrowed her eyes, smiling with curved eyebrows.
Her luminous little face was adorned with a warm smile, appearing pure and harmless to the extreme.
But the words she spoke were chillingly cold.
Lucas Shaw, rarely seeing Serena in this manner, couldn’t help but curiously raise his eyebrows.
He figured it out.
The happier this girl laughed, the worse the other party’s fate would be.
The last time he saw her smiling eyes disappear, was when Luna White was nearly scared faint.
After that day, Luna White took a whole week’s leave.
