The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1262 - 1262 That Night

1262 That Night

The murderous intent in Lucas’s eyes was so strong that most people would be scared soulless.

Lena shivered. Her legs went limp, and she almost lost her balance.

But she gritted her teeth, stared at Lucas, and tried her best to maintain eye contact with him, refusing to back down.

Lucas was really annoyed.

!!

The incident in the hotel, where Lena had helped him back to his room after he got drunk the other day, had been a thorn in his heart.

He was dead drunk that day, and he didn’t know what had happened at all. He was really afraid that he had done something he shouldn’t have done.

Due to his fear, when Lena said that nothing had happened between them the following morning, he heaved a sigh of relief and subconsciously chose to believe that nothing had really happened.

But now that Lena had suddenly brought it up, he thought that something might have really happened.

“What exactly happened that night? You’d better come clean with me!” Lucas stared into Lena’s eyes, making her feel strongly oppressed.

Seemingly finally unable to stand her oppressive gaze, she looked away, breaking eye contact with Lucas. She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “What’s the point of saying this now? Even if something really happened between us that day, you still definitely won’t accept me, right?”

Lucas was speechless.

Lena was right.

Even if something had happened that day, he wouldn’t accept her just because of it.

That night, he was so drunk that he couldn’t even move. If something had really happened, it must have been Lena’s conscious decision. Why should Lucas take responsibility for it?

Besides, Cheyenne had always been and will always be the only one Lucas loved. It had taken them tremendous effort to reconcile. Moreover, they shared a beautiful daughter. It was impossible for Lucas to let a third party come in between them and disrupt their hard-won blissful life.

“Lucas Gray, you… you bastard!”

Seeing that Lucas didn’t say anything, Lena finally couldn’t help herself. She slapped him hard, grabbed her bag, and ran away in tears.

Lucas watched coldly as Lena left, not stopping her at all.

He stood in the empty private room for a long time, feeling incredibly frustrated and flustered.

He had thought that he and Lena were innocent. But after seeing her reaction, he had a feeling that something had happened between them, something he couldn’t accept.

In fact, Lena said that she had had a crush on Lucas for a long time, so much so that she was willing to give up her decade-long friendship with Cheyenne for him. In that case, how could she not have done anything to him while he was drunk and lying motionless in bed?

Moreover, Lena was definitely not a simple woman.

Lucas had drunk that day because he had found out that he wasn’t Michael Hutton’s biological son and that his father was someone else. Overwhelmed with emotions at the time, he had drowned his sorrows in alcohol. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

But Lena suddenly showed up in the bar and even drank a lot of alcohol with him. Later, while helping him to his room, she had even arranged for someone to photograph them. The intimate and ambiguous photos of them in the hotel room were also taken by her.

Based on these matters, he could tell that Lena was an extremely scheming woman.

She had finally gotten a chance to spend time alone with him, and he had even been drunk and unconscious at the time. He didn’t believe that she really hadn’t done anything to him.

The thought of it made Lucas’s head hurt even more.

If he and Lena had really gotten intimate, then… wouldn’t he have betrayed Cheyenne?

If she found out, would she forgive him?

As an adult man, he knew that there were some things he couldn’t just explain away because he was drunk.

The thought of the possibility of Cheyenne getting the wrong idea made his heart tense up with nervousness.

With a grim expression, Lucas took out his phone and made a call. “Jordan, please help me check something. On the 20th of last month, I got drunk, and Lena Sawyer sent me to the Crown International Hotel in DC. Help me find out how long she stayed in my room!”

After hearing this, Jordan immediately opened his mouth in surprise. “Lucas, did… did something happen?”

“Don’t ask. Just check it immediately!” Lucas instructed coldly.

“Yes, Lucas!” Jordan realized that something was amiss.

Half an hour later, Jordan called again.

“Lucas, I’ve found out! I checked the surveillance footage inside and outside the hotel. On the night of November 20th, Lena Sawyer indeed helped you to the hotel room. After you two entered, she didn’t come out again until about seven the following morning. Then she went to the front desk and got a room,” Jordan reported in puzzlement.

His words seemed to stiffen Lucas’s body on the spot.

In that case, Lena had spent the entire night with him.

She had lied about resting next door!

Now, the truth was really going in the direction that Lucas dreaded!

Jordan asked carefully, “Lucas, you and Lena Sawyer… you… Nothing happened between you two, right? You didn’t let Cheyenne down, right?”

Lucas’s heart was full of fury as he shouted resentfully, “I was drunk! I don’t even know what happened!”

This was what Lucas felt the most frustrated and disgruntled about.

If he had been conscious or slightly sober then, he wouldn’t have behaved intimately with another woman at all.

But since he was unconscious, he didn’t know what he had done and couldn’t explain himself either.

This was the most worrying thing!

Jordan gulped, suddenly at a loss for words.

He knew clearly that Cheyenne was the only one Lucas loved and that he would never fall for another woman. So now that this happened, Lucas was absolutely incensed and vexed.

Jordan had been in love with Maddy for years too. He put himself in Lucas’s shoes and imagined how he would feel if he had accidentally gotten drunk and ended up becoming intimate with another woman. He’d probably feel a strong urge to kill.

“Well, Lucas, if… and I’m just saying if… If something happened between you and Lena Sawyer that day… and Cheyenne finds out, do you think she’ll forgive you?” Jordan stammered.

His words made Lucas feel even more dismayed.

This was exactly what he was the most worried about.
