1280 Deep Concern

If they had just been ordinary subordinates or even internationally renowned hitmen, Lucas wouldnt be afraid.

But they were clearly suicide warriors, causing Lucas to be ill at ease.

The reason suicide warriors were called suicide warriors was that they were willing to sacrifice their lives in order to achieve their goals. They didnt care about anything else, and they had no bottom line either.

They would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.

!!

Moreover, once suicide warriors who hid poison in their mouths were captured or in an unfavorable situation, they would immediately bite the poisonous capsule and end their own lives, making it impossible to find out who the person who ordered them was.

Lucas wasnt afraid of suicide warriors, but what about the people around him?

If suicide warriors targeted his family after failing to kill him, Cheyenne, Charlotte, Amelia, and William would have no way to deal with these people.

Even if Lucas arranged bodyguards to protect his family, it wouldnt be of much help because suicide warriors were known to catch their victims off guard and were extremely difficult to deal with.

With a sullen expression, Lucas made a phone call. I ran into some suicide warriors. Theyve already poisoned themselves to death. Find out who sent them.

Although he already had a vague conjecture, it had to be verified.

After hanging up, Lucas was still feeling uneasy.

He had never wanted to have more top powerhouses by his side to protect his family as desperately as he did right now.

After asking Jordan to investigate the matter and take care of the aftermath, Lucas drove home.

It was already late, and by the time Lucas arrived home, it was already 11 p.m.

At this time, everyone at home was already sound asleep, and only the lights in the master bedroom were on.

Cheyenne had already washed up, and there was still some moisture in her hair. She was looking at the screen of her laptop at the desk, clad in a silky soft and comfortable nightgown.

When Lucas opened the door and entered, Cheyenne immediately raised her head to look at him. Welcome back. Have you had dinner?

Lucas nodded, walked over to her, put his arms around her shoulders, and asked softly, Yes, I have. Why are you still awake at this hour? What are you looking at?

While speaking, he had already seen the various tables and graphs on the laptop screen.

Just some work stuff. Its my first day at the Stardust Corporation tomorrow, and Im still not confident, so Im reading up on some more material. Cheyenne relaxed and nestled against Lucass arms.

Lucas saw the dark circles under Cheyennes face and said with heartache, Youve already read enough. Its midnight now. Its time to get some rest!

In fact, he only ran so many businesses because he wanted to give his family comfortable and happy lives. He didnt want them to have to work hard like before.

But Cheyenne had her own career pursuits and wasnt willing to be a housewife who only took care of her husband and children. She wanted to work on her career and achieve great accomplishments through her own efforts, so Lucas could only let her do as she wished.

But this didnt mean that Lucas could watch his wife get dark undereye circles from fatigue and do nothing about it.

Cheyenne wanted to say something, but Lucas closed the laptop screen. Then he picked her up and carried her to the bed domineeringly.

Okay, stop reading those doc.u.ments. Why dont you spend some time with me instead? Lucas pinned Cheyenne down beneath him and kissed her tender lips.

A long time later, they finally finished. Cheyennes damp hair was sticking to the sides of her face messily, and she was panting slightly, looking even more gentle and breathtaking.

Lucas, are are you stressed because of some troubles lately? Cheyenne asked softly, gently snuggling up in his arms.

Lucass body stiffened, and he immediately asked, Why are you asking that all of a sudden?

Cheyenne blushed and poked his chest lightly. Your needs are a lot these days.

Lucas was stunned for a moment before recalling that they had just been intimate in the afternoon for a few hours. Charlotte had even teased them about it. This session had lasted for some time too. It was indeed unusual.

Am I really getting urges more frequently because Im too stressed?

Cheyenne was indeed quite perceptive.

But Lucas didnt want her to worry, so he naturally wouldnt voice his concerns. He merely kissed Cheyennes forehead and said in a gentle voice, Honey, youre reading too much into it. With such a gorgeous and attractive wife, how can I possibly be stressed?

Feeling shy, Cheyenne poked Lucass chest. What a glib tongue! Okay, if you dont want to say anything, I wont force you to tell me. But if youre really stressed, you can always talk to me about it. After all, were family!

Touched by her words, Lucas hugged Cheyenne even tighter. Yeah, I got it. But its really nothing, so dont mull over it. Lets go to bed now!

Seeing that Lucas was unwilling to say anything, Cheyenne didnt continue.

After the pa.s.sionate and intense session, she was now exhausted and soon dozed off in his arms.

Lucas was holding his beautiful wife in his arms and watching her sleep peacefully, but he couldnt calm down at all.

In fact, he was really worried now.

Over six years ago, he had left without saying goodbye and headed to the military camp in Calico in order to become good enough for Cheyenne.

After stepping down and returning to Orange County quietly, he swore that he would definitely make his family the happiest people in the world and give them carefree lives.

But there are two sides to everything.

If Lucas had wanted to be just an ordinary person, he wouldnt have been able to give Cheyenne and Amelia a sense of security and enough a.s.surance for them to live worry-free.

But as Lucass power grew, he also inadvertently made enemies one after another.

Moreover, as his status and power grew, the enemies he had to face also became more powerful. They went from the sc.u.mbags of the Carter family to the royal family branches he was facing now.

If Lucas was alone, he wouldnt take even the strongest family in the world seriously.

But now, he had a family, so he had an Achilles heel.

The slightest negligence on his part might cause disaster for his family. Lucas would never allow this to happen!
