Chapter 3004: Chapter 194: Coming Clean with Benjamin Lucas IX

"Big brother did like being hugged and lifted high when he was little, but the old man never hugged me back then. Not like you, being held all the time without letting go." Benjamin Lucas IX pursed his lips, seemingly recalling the past and feeling a bit aggrieved.

Harrison Lucas’s lips slightly lifted in a faint smile. Her big brother is always like this, clearly a capable man on his own, stern and severe in front of outsiders, yet always so childish around her.

Harrison Lucas: "That’s because father wanted to train you to be his successor, pampering you into a playboy. What will our Lucas family do in the future?"

Benjamin Lucas IX: "Isn’t there you? You’re much more capable than big brother. Every time big brother encounters difficulties, it’s you who gives him advice. It’s a shame you can’t inherit the Lucas family..."

As if recalling something, Benjamin Lucas IX’s smile faded a bit, revealing a more solemn expression.

He looked around, seeing no one, and pulled Harrison Lucas to a corner: "Debby, be honest with big brother. Is it convenient for you to be around the eldest young master now? Are there any risks of being discovered? When you were little, the old man let you go to the eldest young master’s side not only because of Madam’s request but also as a way to protect you. The eldest young master is a recluse and dislikes interacting with outsiders. Your identity would be better concealed by his side."

Harrison Lucas: "..."

Uh, she watched Benjamin Lucas IX’s heavily furrowed brows, filled with worry, and couldn’t help but feel somewhat guilty.

How should she inform big brother of the current situation without overly shocking him?

Various thoughts whirled in Harrison Lucas’s mind. Benjamin Lucas IX saw her silence, assuming Harrison Lucas was quietly suffering.

Benjamin Lucas IX sighed and pulled his sister into a hug.

He encircled Harrison Lucas with strong arms, offering warmth, and gently patted her thin shoulder with a large palm: "All right, all right, you don’t need to worry too much. Big brother is already helping you find a suitable marriage candidate. Rest assured, big brother will find you a reliable ’wife’ who can help cover for you. When the time comes, you can use marriage as an excuse to temporarily leave the military department."

His sister has grown up. A young girl hanging around in the military department with those old men all day isn’t really a long-term solution.

Unfortunately, father had urged till his last breath, clutching his hand, to take care of Debby and ensure her identity isn’t exposed.

Otherwise, Benjamin Lucas IX would surely find a young, handsome, loyal, gentle husband for her.

Now, he can only make Sister endure and find a girl who can’t marry due to other reasons, and they can make do for a lifetime.

"Uh... big brother..." Harrison Lucas, hearing Benjamin Lucas IX genuinely planned to find a ’wife’ for her, finally couldn’t hold it in.

Enveloped in Benjamin Lucas IX’s reflective embrace, her voice sounded muffled due to the closeness: "There’s something I haven’t had a chance to tell you. Would you like to take a break first, and we can talk later when you’re ready? I’m afraid if I tell you now, you won’t be able to handle it."

Mr. Lucas ordered Benjamin Lucas IX be kept in the dark, thus he’s been thoroughly misled, and Harrison Lucas really fears her brother can’t take the shock if told the truth suddenly.

Benjamin Lucas IX furrowed his brows: "Since when does your big brother have things he can’t handle? No break is needed. You just say it directly, big brother can handle anything."

What could his Debby say that would surprise him?

At most, it’d be that she’s already found a suitable marriage candidate.

If that’s the case, he might just investigate the girl more thoroughly, checking the person’s character, trustworthiness, and if she can keep Debby’s secret.

What major matter could there be?
