Chapter 248

Lucas pushed her away gently and took out a small box. "Happy birthday." Rebecca happily took it. "Thank you, Lucas! I love the gift you gave me!

Lucas smiled warmly. "I'm glad you like it."

Rebecca's eyes landed on Aveline, who was holding Lucas' arm. Her face clouded over. In a flash, she shoved Aveline aside and latched onto Lucas herself.

"Who do you think you are?" Rebecca snapped. "What gives you the right to hang on Lucas like that?"

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, but before she could say anything, she caught Lucas' warning gaze. Fine, she'd endure it.

Rebecca clung to Lucas' arm as they walked inside. "Lucas, I heard. about what happened to you. I'm so glad you came back safe. My father has been worried and is waiting for you inside." "Mm, I'm fine," Lucas replied calmly.
