Chapter 3007: Chapter 197: Surrounded by Many Women

Harrison Lucas and Jordan Lancaster have been married until now for three years already.

Even though they’ve been married for nearly three years, the two of them have somehow managed to keep the same heated spark they had right after making their relationship official.

Jordan Lancaster is such a cold and stern person, carries huge authority in the military zone, and in front of outsiders he’s always that tight-lipped, severe, poker face of icy dignity; but every time he comes back to A City and sees his own "wife," the iceberg instantly turns into a volcano, spewing scorching lava.

That’s right, even though Jordan Lancaster and Harrison Lucas are madly in love, not long after the wedding Harrison had no choice but to resign from his military post in order to avoid suspicion.

In Eastonia, same-sex love still can’t truly gain public understanding. Even though in recent years the public has become more tolerant and accepting, an undeniable fact remains: if Harrison Lucas continued to stay by Jordan Lancaster’s side as his adjutant, there would be a lot of opposition—not just from the outside world, but even from within the military.

Take what happened back then up on Triumph Mountain district, for example. The later investigation made it clear that someone on the inside had committed dereliction of duty and been bought off, trying to kill Jordan Lancaster.

Because Jordan Lancaster is the rising new star of Eastonia’s future military zone; at least for the next thirty years, the strength of Eastonia’s military zone will be closely tied to this man.

Some foreign criminals wanted to weaken Eastonia’s national power, so they targeted Jordan while he was still on the rise, hoping to strangle in the cradle this man who very likely would one day take full control of the military zone.

And the existence of Harrison Lucas, for these people, was obviously the best breakthrough point to attack Jordan Lancaster.

So, in order not to cause trouble for Jordan Lancaster, and also to keep a low profile and avoid suspicion, Harrison—who is still a man in the eyes of outsiders, and is also Jordan’s very cherished "wife"—applied for retirement and returned to A City.

Harrison Lucas came back to A City originally planning to keep his head down.

Who knew that once Mr. Lucas—oh no, her father-in-law Aidan Lucas—found out, he waved his hand and directly arranged for Harrison to enter Royal Palace Group.

In Mr. Lucas’s words, Harrison is at least a child of Benjamin Lucas IX’s branch of the Lucas family, a young master of a side branch; even after marriage he shouldn’t just sit idle at home.

Since Jordan Lancaster needs to stay long-term in the military zone, Harrison Lucas should also have his own life on normal days. Mr. Lucas stuffed Harrison into Royal Palace Headquarters, appointing him as one of the group’s senior executives.

"Director Lucas, you’ve been busy from one day until now and still haven’t eaten, right? I just went downstairs to buy you some takeout, hurry and eat a little."

At the doorway of the office on the 32nd floor of Royal Palace, Harrison had just come back from outside when a female subordinate stopped him.

She handed over a neatly packed, very delicate takeout bag from a Chinese restaurant.

Before Harrison Lucas had time to refuse, he heard another voice cut in.

"How could you eat that greasy stuff? Director Lucas has a light palate, he should eat this. This is the salad I bought..."

A woman with wavy long hair, whose curves showed through even in a professional suit, squeezed aside the one holding the Chinese takeout.

Harrison Lucas: "..."

However, before the wavy hair could finish, yet another woman with black long straight hair squeezed out from behind: "Who said Director Lucas has a light palate? Director Lucas likes lemon tea and dessert."

The black long straight hair woman pushed the wavy hair aside and handed the takeout bag in her hand to Harrison: "Director Lucas, here’s the hot lemon tea and tiramisu I packed for you."

Harrison Lucas’s cool eyes flickered faintly; she was just a little moved.

Dessert—her favorite.

"Thank you, Jasmine." Harrison slightly curved his lips at the black long straight hair woman, and his cool eyes warmed.

Being called by "his" name and even getting a smile, the black long straight hair woman’s face instantly flushed red, her eyes filling with pink bubbles.
