Chapter 2975: Chapter 165: She’s Just a Shield—He Likes Someone Else (1)

Now, night has already fallen.

The entire city is adorned with lights; even standing on the street opposite the restaurant, Harrison Lucas can clearly see the scene inside the restaurant through the glass of the elegantly luxurious French restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows.

She saw Ben Lucas, dressed in a suit, being led into the restaurant by a waiter.

He sat down, alone.

So that’s why the young master never comes back for dinner; he dines alone in such a grand French restaurant.

But does he always dine alone?

Harrison Lucas found it strange, but then she remembered that the young master came from an aristocratic background, and if he weren’t in the military, he would still maintain an extravagant lifestyle. Dining alone in such an expensive restaurant might be understandable.

Harrison Lucas didn’t realize she was actually making excuses for Ben Lucas in her heart.

However, very soon, her explanation fell apart.

Because she saw a woman with long wavy hair, wearing a fiery red dress and a stylish jacket, appear at the restaurant entrance.

She was led in by a waiter, heading directly towards Ben Lucas, causing Harrison Lucas’s hands to clench tightly.

"No, please don’t let it be the young master, don’t let it be the young master..." Harrison Lucas prayed anxiously in her heart.

Yet, God must have closed the window to her cries, for he could not hear her prayers.

Harrison Lucas clearly saw that the woman in the fiery red dress, stunning and enchanting, was led by the waiter to Ben Lucas’s side.

The woman seemed to have known Ben Lucas for a while; from her actions, it appeared as if she was greeting him warmly before sitting opposite him.

A perfect match, a match made in heaven—Harrison Lucas suddenly realized what these words truly meant.

The enchanting and radiant woman was an ideal match for the young master. Harrison Lucas abruptly began to doubt whether Ben Lucas’s involvement with her was ever out of gratitude.

He seemed to have known this woman for some time. Could it be that he was using her as a cover to cancel the engagement with Molly Wellington?

The young master would truly prefer a woman as beautiful as this, wouldn’t he? Compared to her, what was she to him?

Harrison Lucas’s heart suffered an unprecedented blow at that moment; it was trembling, on the verge of collapse. She knew she should leave, yet her feet felt cemented to the ground, unable to move a step, no matter how hard she tried.

Go, Harrison Lucas, go... Don’t watch anymore, just leave...

She desperately told herself in her heart, yet she couldn’t control her body. Instead of retreating, Harrison Lucas couldn’t help but slowly step forward.

Meanwhile, at the same moment in the restaurant, Ben Lucas said something, and the woman across from him suddenly laughed, covering her lips.

Her laughter was exceptionally pleasing, her fiery red lips exuding the charm of a mature woman.

Just then, the man sitting across from her suddenly had a significant change in expression.

Harrison Lucas recognized that look; the young master straightening his face like that meant he was about to do something very serious and earnest.

What did the young master intend to do?

Within Harrison Lucas’s confusion, she saw the man sitting in the restaurant suddenly reach into his pocket and place a box on the table.

It was a red leather box, looking quite similar to those used for proposing.

When Harrison Lucas saw Ben Lucas take out that jewelry box, her heart sank heavily.
