The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

After taking a glance at his phone, Lucas put it away.

The outcome was within his expectations. If a former leader of the Falcon Regiment’s assault team couldn’t even deal with a lackey of the Kingstons, he would seriously wonder if Stanley had been slacking off all these years.

​ 

Knock-knock.

Someone suddenly knocked on the door of the room. Lucas walked over, opened it, and saw Charlotte standing there.

“Lucas, I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?” Charlotte asked.

Lucas smiled. “No, what’s the matter?”

Charlotte then waved at Amelia, who was rolling around on the bed, all clean and fresh after a bath. She chuckled. “Amelia, do you want to hear the background story of Mulan? If you do, come sleep with me tonight!”

“I do!” Amelia immediately got up from the bed and ran to the door with her little pillow in her arms.

After watching the Mulan movie today, Amelia kept asking Charlotte about the background story. Now that Charlotte offered to tell her about it, she leaped up gleefully right away.

Cheyenne was about to say something, but Charlotte quickly pulled Amelia out of the room and even winked at them smugly. “I’ve brought the little gooseberry away for you two. You’d better work hard and strive to give Amelia a younger sibling soon!”

With that, she hurriedly left with Amelia before Cheyenne and Lucas could say anything.

“…” Lucas was speechless. This sister-in-law of mine is quite… sensible!

Lucas couldn’t help smiling. He sneaked a glance at Cheyenne and noticed that she was blushing. Even her ears had turned red. She looked extremely shy and adorable.

Sensing Lucas’s gaze, Cheyenne glared at him, but there was no aggression in her eyes. Instead, she even seemed to be pouting coyly and timidly.

She didn’t show any intention of bringing Amelia back and simply said, “I-I-I’m going to take a bath now!” Then she hurriedly dashed to the bathroom.

Lucas was rather surprised, but he was soon overjoyed.

This meant that Cheyenne was willing to…

Lucas’s heart began beating rapidly, and he even felt a rare sense of nervousness.

But at the same time, he also felt elated and got the butterflies, causing him to be at a loss for what to do.

During the two-hour date with Cheyenne earlier, their relationship had already improved by leaps and bounds.

But Lucas didn’t have any experience in some things. Even if he was the esteemed captain of the Falcon Regiment, who was known for his brutal and invincible combat abilities, he was really a newbie when it came to relationships.

While Lucas was feeling nervous, Cheyenne, who was sitting in the bathroom, was also so nervous that her heart began to pound quickly.

Sitting in the bathtub, she hugged her knees, and various scenes appeared in her mind.

Without exception, they were all scenes of Lucas helping her, comforting her, protecting her, and speaking to her gently.

In fact, Cheyenne knew that she had unknowingly fallen in love with Lucas.

Just a few months ago, Lucas had proposed to her in the flowerbed garden of the roof of the Intercontinental Hotel, but she had turned him down at that time. But he said that he hoped that she could give him a chance to truly fall in love with him.

Now, she had indeed fallen in love with Lucas and wanted to see him every day.

So they should genuinely become a married couple now!

And a real couple…

Cheyenne seemed to think of something. Her face turned even redder, and she quickly buried her face in the warm bathtub.

“Ahhh! What the hell am I thinking about?! This is so embarrassing!”

…

When Cheyenne finally came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a thin and lightweight silk nightdress.

Her smooth and fair shoulders were exposed, and so were her calves because the hem of the nightdress ended at her knees. The nightdress was hugging her body, accentuating her beautiful and svelte figure.

In fact, Cheyenne had already worn this nightdress once.

At the time, Lucas had just brought William, who had turned over a new leaf, home. Cheyenne was so grateful to Lucas in her heart that she decided to dedicate herself to him and take the final step to consummate their marriage. Unfortunately, she dozed off unknowingly, and being the gentleman he was, Lucas didn’t do anything to her.

But today…

Lucas glanced at Cheyenne with fire in his eyes.

While Cheyenne was getting shy and embarrassed from the way he was staring at her, she also felt proud and gleeful.

“Ahem!” Cheyenne coughed twice softly. Seeing that Lucas was still staring at her, she chided, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go take a shower.”

Then Cheyenne’s face became even redder.

“Oh… okay! I’ll get to it immediately!”

Lucas returned to his senses, but he actually seemed a little flustered, which was rare for him. He then hurriedly dashed into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, there was still a lot of steam in the air and the lingering scent of body wash from Cheyenne’s bath.

Feeling his body getting warmer, Lucas turned the faucet on and turned it to cold water. Only then did some of the heat get washed away.

But when he thought about what might happen soon, he felt that no matter how much cold water he rinsed himself with, it wouldn’t be of any use.

After he prepared himself mentally and stepped out of the bathroom nervously with some anticipation, he saw a scene that made his raging hormones calm down immediately.

Amelia, whom Charlotte had just taken out of the room, was lying on the large bed in their room with her arms wrapped around Cheyenne’s neck. She shouted at him with a pure and innocent smile, “Daddy, you’ve finally finished taking a bath! Quick, come here and tell Mommy and me a story~”

“…” Lucas couldn’t describe his mood at this moment.

But there was nothing he could do because Amelia was his precious daughter, so of course he had to pamper her!

Caught between laughter and tears, Lucas walked over and knocked his finger very gently against Amelia’s round head. “Haven’t you heard enough stories from Aunt Charlotte?”

“No, I want to hear another one from Daddy!” Amelia said coquettishly.

Cheyenne blushed a little and whispered in Lucas’s ear, “I don’t know why she came back all of a sudden…”

Lucas looked really aggrieved, but all he could do was say helplessly, “Well then… let’s go to bed early!”

…

It was destined to be a sleepless night.
