Chapter 2944: Chapter 134: Women Get Jealous Too

Jennifer Connor: "You! Why did you throw away my apple?"

She had been peeling it for a long time and had just managed to finish half of it.

After all, Jennifer Connor was a fragile young lady. She had never done such a thing before, and peeling an apple was already a very challenging task for her.

Ben Lucas didn’t even lift an eyelid: "It’s all bumpy like it was chewed by a dog. How could such an apple be good enough for Debby?"

As he spoke, he directly took an apple from the fruit plate. With long fingers, he wielded the knife and effortlessly peeled an entire apple in front of Jennifer.

Jennifer Connor’s face changed slightly: "..."

The apple Ben Lucas peeled was so fast and well done. If Ben Lucas’s apple could score 100 points, then hers could only score... 30 points.

As Jennifer Connor felt a bit embarrassed and breathless, she saw that the fruit knife in Ben Lucas’s hand did not stop. Instead, he cut the apple into several pieces, placed them in a small fruit bowl, and inserted toothpicks.

Ben Lucas: "To take care of people, you should at least reach this level. Otherwise, are you expecting Debby to just open her mouth wide and gnaw on it?"

The man’s voice was low and icy, showing no restraint in his disdain.

Jennifer Connor blushed, feeling for the first time inferior to others, despite being a well-bred lady.

If it were other women, she could still say that her noble upbringing and delicate status kept her from doing such work.

But now, the person who has outdone her is Ben Lucas, the eldest son of the Lucas family, whose status is several times more prestigious than the Connor family... If Jennifer dared to compare her nobility with Ben Lucas, she’d have to be extremely thick-skinned.

Her face turned red, and after a long struggle, she couldn’t utter a single word.

On the other side, Commander Nelson, who was ignored and left to pour tea for himself, sensed something was off.

Commander Nelson sipped tea and casually remarked: "Debby? No, no... kid, since when were you so friendly with your subordinates?"

Not even Commander Nelson had seen Ben Lucas with such a pleasant demeanor—no, you couldn’t even call it pleasant. Instead, it should be said that he was very good-natured and gentle with his subordinates.

Moreover, he called his adjutant Harrison Lucas, ’Debby.’

That’s far too intimate!

Ben Lucas maintained his composure: "I’ve always been a kind person."

Commander Nelson nearly spat out the tea in his mouth: "You..."

"Boy, do you think you can fool Gregory Nelson? If your face made of stone can be called kind, then your soldiers wouldn’t be privately calling you the ’Dark-faced King of Hell.’"

Commander Nelson was spot on. Though Ben Lucas never played favorites and lived with the soldiers in the Military Camp,

this only made his soldiers more terrified, each wishing Ben Lucas would return to the area reserved for leaders—otherwise, facing him was more frightening than facing the terrorists at the border.

Each of the tall, burly men was scared enough to have shaky legs.

"So the senior leader isn’t dumb and isn’t easy to fool." Ben Lucas replied coldly, showing no awareness of being a subordinate.

If Commander Nelson hadn’t considered Ben Lucas as his student and a promising talent, he would really have wanted to drag the lad off for military punishment.

Ruffling his mustache and widening his eyes, he said: "How come after you got injured, your temperament has changed? In the past, you were silent and hardly spoke, but now you’ve become talkative and even learned to joke. Teehee, if I didn’t know it was Harrison who was seriously injured this time, I’d think your brain had been damaged."
