Chapter 280 All–in–One Package

Milly couldn’t help but inquire, “Lucius, don’t you relish this dance?”

Lucius arched an eyebrow in response, his voice cool yet affirming. “I quite admire it.”

Milly’s confusion deepened further. If he appreciated it so, why indulge in this charade of adding spice to his pursuit of Stephanie?

“Then why delay in making her yours? Once she’s captured, you can savour this exquisite dance daily. Doesn’t such a tempting proposition stir your desires?”

Milly fixed Lucius with an expectant gaze, her eyes shimmering with hope..

This is straight from the pages of the book, it can’t fail.

Lucius slowly raised his gaze to meet hers, and as his eyes locked onto that glint of starlight, a slight tremor passed through him. His voice, husky and laden with emotion, murmured, “Indeed, it is highly enticing.

Milly was on the verge of tears of joy, lightly slapping her thigh. “If it’s enticing to you, then take action. Mere words won’t suffice!

Seeing Lucius’s interest sparked, Milly seized the moment, leaning in to whisper some counsel in his ear.

With such a golden opportunity at hand, if you let it slip, when the main character appears um, no, when another contender for her affections emerges, you’ll face an additional rival! Now is the prime moment to pursue her!”

There was a flicker of intrigue in Lucius’s eyes as he regarded her. “Are you so certain I can win her over?”

Milly responded with conviction, “Absolutely, being a woman myself, I understand our kind best. Though she may not reveal it outwardly, she secretly holds you in high regard. Women often conceal their feelings behind a facade!”

“What if she still rejects me?”
