Chapter 485
Lucas could not quite explain what was going on with him. He started to worry about Corinne, whom he always
disliked.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that it was because he was exhausted from work recently that he started
to have an illusion.
Soon, the car arrived at the Lunar Century Manor. After the car was parked, Corinne followed Lucas out of the car
and entered the manor.
After taking a few steps, Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Corinne from the corner of his eyes
and asking her indifferently, “Do you feel cold?”
It was the beginning of winter, so the temperature at night was already very low.
Wearing a thin dress, Corinne’s arms were flushed because of the night breeze, but she replied indifferently, “I’m

Lucas looked at her and pondered for a second, then he looked back to say, “Edmund, bring the jacket in the car

Lucas replied coldly, “Don’t overthink it. I just don’t want you to catch a cold and infect me when you go to work
sick tomorrow.”
Corinne smiled. “I wasn’t overthinking. It’s just that regardless of the reason you were showing concern for your
subordinate, I was taken care of by you, so it’s only polite for me to thank you.”
Lucas glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. He just walked toward the manor, and Corinne followed along
next to him.
Lunar Century Manor was the Riveras’ territory, so they could walk in freely without being stopped as soon as they
entered the vicinity. However, guests were only allowed to enter the banquet hall after signing their names together
with their partners at the reception area near the entrance. Anybody who came alone, regardless of who that was,
would not be allowed to enter. That was the long-established. rule for Missus Benet’s birthday party.
As her nephew, it would be rude to not celebrate his aunt’s birthday. Therefore, Lucas would find a partner to come
to the party with him every year for formalities.
Lucas’s arrival caused a small commotion in the banquet hall.
Lucas hardly attended parties, so it was extremely rare for him to appear on occasions like this. Only a -respected

them.”
“That’s not surprising. Mister Lucas is at the age where he should be settling down, so wouldn’t it make sense for
him to bring his girlfriend to celebrate his aunt’s birthday?”
“I remember he has always had Rosie Sutton as his partner every year in the past.”
“It’s because Rosie is best friends with Miss Anya that she could get close to Mister Lucas! Now that he has his
partner, of course, he doesn’t hear anymore!”
“You’re right! I see that he’s not interested in Rosie at all!”
Ignoring all those pointless discussions, Lucas looked around in the banquet hall, then said to Corinne without any
emotions, “Find a place to have a seat here. I’ll go to the front to greet my family.”
“Alright, Mister Lucas,” Corinne answered politely. She was thinking that Lucas must be afraid of creating.

After taking a few steps, Lucas stopped in his tracks and turned to take a look at Corinne. What exactly was he
