Chapter 74
My eyes flickered as I looked at him calmly,
I noticed the peppermint candy wrapper on the coffee table,
In that instant, I recalled the scene from the afternoon when Lukas had candy wrappers cattered around his feet. The scene was quite comical, and I couldn’t help but want to
laugh.
The housekeeper had told me that Lukas liked to eat peppermint candies with wrappers
and enjoyed the process of unwrapping them.
Although I didn’t understand this hobby, I found it unexpectedly endearing that this
seemingly cold man could have such a cute habit.
However, seeing Lukas’s displeased expression now, I managed to suppress my amusement.
Lukas looked at me in silence.
I stood still for two seconds, and seeing that he didn’t speak, I planned to go upstairs
directly.
But then, I had only taken two steps when I heard Lukas’s voice filled with anger and resentment, “Don’t you have anything to explain to me?”
I halted my steps, feeling a bit puzzled. “Explain what?”
Lukas frowned, his tone displeased, “You tell me.”
I turned around, looking bewildered. “Mr. Strakovski, I don’t quite understand what you
mean.”
Although I claimed not to understand, I already had some guesses in my mind. He was probably referring to the rooftop incident during dinner, and Lukas seemed to be irritated and using that as an to settle old scores.
Seeing me looking innocent, Lukas couldn’t help but sneer, his tone slightly harsh, “First, there was Cole, then Anthony. Today, you got involved with James. Sophia, are you trying to

challenge my bottom line?”
I pursed my lips, my expression changing, “Mr. Strakovski, do you have feelings for me?”
Lukas’s face turned dark like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He instantly stood up from the sofa, looking displeased, “Sophia, what kind of joke are you playing?”
How could he possibly have feelings for me? He wished I had no feelings for him so he wouldn’t be bothered by unnecessary troubles.
I didn’t care, I tugged at my lips, “A joke? I don’t think so. I just find it amusing.”
Lukas stared at me coldly, not saying a word.
I looked back at Lukas, my tone unhurried, and continued, “Mr. Strakovski, to be honest, I really don’t quite understand what you mean. Cole is my senior and boss. Anthony is a friend and also now my client. These are people I inevitably have to interact with.”
“But you make it sound like I’m a flirt, with no bottom line whatsoever. Tell me, do you have feelings for me, and you’re jealous because I interact with other men? Or do you simply dislike me as a person?” I glared coldly at Lukas.
I was not a bread dough to be flattened and kneaded by Lukas as he pleased.
Despite Lukas’s repeated warnings not to have any delusions, I had endured.
But now, he was taking advantage of the situation and trying to control my social life. Did he really think I had no backbone? Unbelievable!
After all that I said, Lukas’s focus was only on the word “jealous.”
His face turned ugly, and his voice was stern, “You’re talking nonsense! Am I really the jealous type? Are you dreaming?”
I furrowed my brows, “Since you think I’m talking nonsense, then please tone down your actions and don’t let me misunderstand. Why are you managing my social life and insisting on sleeping with me at night? Lukas, what exactly do you want?”
I coldly retorted.

Lukas’s face wrinkled tightly, but he didn’t speak
I continued, “You claimed to be playing hard to get, but it doesn’t seem like it Could it be that you feel aggrieved? And about sleeping together at night, I find it even more puzzling
“Since we got married, your actions have never seemed like you wanted me to fulfill the duties of a wife. And even if it were to fulfill those duties, there’s no need to sleep together every night. Lukas, are you lacking a human–shaped pillow?” I hit the nail on the head
ukas’s face turned extremely ugly.
He hadn’t expected me to notice his intentions.
His expression changed repeatedly, but he couldn’t explain why he would easily fall asleep while holding me.
Because this sounded absurd even to him.
He was at a loss for words and simply said, “You’re sharp–tongued.”
With that, he turned and started to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, he felt that leaving like this was like running away after being exposed.
He felt extremely unhappy about it, so he turned around and stopped, looking at me. “Sophia, you were the one who wanted to marry me. Since we got married, isn’t it normal to sleep together on the same bed?”
Pausing for a moment, he added, “Or do you think we shouldn’t sleep together?”
Hearing this, I inexplicably thought of what Elena had said about “bed skills,” and I felt disgusted.
Although nothing had happened between me and Lukas, I still felt uncomfortable.
With a tense expression, I stared at Lukas, “If you don’t want me to have any feelings for you, then shouldn’t you keep your distance from me? Yet, you insist on sleeping with me. Don’t you find it contradictory? Besides, I never asked you to sleep with me.”
Chapter 74
Lukas didn’t expect that the conversation with me would reach this point.
Although he did just want to sleep with me, he couldn’t admit defeat in this situation.
His face turned extremely ugly, and he sneered, “So, according to you, I’m the one who insisted on sleeping together. Sophia, you better get it straight. There are plenty of women who want to get into my bed, but I just like the comfort of my bed. If you don’t want to sleep together, then move to another room.”
My eyes flickered, “No problem, I’ll go to the guest room later.”
