Bella Scott wasn't blind; she had long noticed that Tina Hernandez had fallen for Lucas Hutt. In contrast, Lucas might not have really developed feelings for Tina.
From the beginning to the present, Tina had always been the disadvantaged party in this marriage.
As her sister, it was only natural for her to protect Tina.
It wasn't until Bella left the room that Lucas returned to the bedroom.
What he feared most was Bella. Her destructive ability was top-notch, so it was crucial that she didn't find out about his secret close relationship with Flynn Taylor.
As for Tina, it was a good thing she wasn't in the country, giving him time to think about what to do in the future.
Days passed, yet Lucas couldn't make a decision. He wondered if he should fire Flynn, but every time he faced Flynn's gentle smile, he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
When he saw Flynn's face at work, he sometimes felt delight, and other times exhaustion.
