'I was lying.'
Lucian's words echoed inside his head, repeating again and again.
He gritted his teeth as he felt his face burn even harder.
With embarrassment, and most of all… humiliation.
Mia was about to drag him away.
Despite whatever he did just now, he was still her husband.
And she didn't have any other man who could protect her.
Kyle was her only option right now.
Her gaze flickered to Lucian's back for a second.
A fleeting thought crossed her mind.
'If he could protect me, then I wouldn't…'
Her thoughts slightly trailed off.
She couldn't see Lucian's face very clearly, since it was hidden in the darkness and obscured by his black clothing.
But earlier—
When he had leaned closer, she had seen his upper face slightly, his dark, cold black eyes.
And for a second, the disgust she had felt changed to something else.
But before she could think further—
"Hey!!!"
The sudden shout brought her back from her thoughts.
