The Billionaire’s Maid Bride Flanagan & Allison Zimmer Chapter 20



Chapter 20 

The next day, bright and early, Allison got a call from Lucian. Well, more accurately, it was a call for Penelope

He invited her to go somewhere with him that night

Having already turned him down once yesterday, Allison didn’t dare say no again. So she hurriedly put on heavy makeup, trying her best to look like Penelope

After lunch, Lucian’s driver, Dominic, arrived on time to pick her up

They headed to an underground auction

By the time Allison arrived, every seal was filled. Dominic led her upstairs, all the way to a room

As soon as the door swung open, the first thing Allison saw was a man on the sofa, holding a glass of wine

Despite her makeup, Allison was still scared he might see through her, so she chose to sit as far away from him as possible

Lucian’s gaze fell on her face, her heavy makeup making him frown slightly. He gestured for her to come over, Come here.” 

Allison pursed her lips, knowing she couldn’t avoid him, so she slowly shuffled over with her head down

Before she could get close, he suddenly reached out and yanked her into his arms

Allison felt her wholebody tense up. She struggled to get away, but his arm around her only tightened

Be good, Penelope.He cooed softly in her ear, his breath tickling her as if he were trying to melt her

So Allison stopped struggling

For now, she was Penelope, his fiancée

Lucian’s fingers gently stroked her cheek, the heavy makeup smearing onto his fingertips. He asked, Did you put on makeup?” 

Mmm, it’s the latest trend. Dodo you not like it?” 

I do.” 

He said it with certainty as if to confirm his words,. Allison blinked in surprise, feeling a jolt through her heart

But she kept her head down, not noticing that his clear eyes were void of any emotion

Lucian was well aware that his feelings for Penelope were merely a duty. But why did he think of Allison when he was holding Penelope

The auction downstairs had started. Allison noticed the venue was decorated in a classic, aristocratic style

From here, she had a clear view of the auction hall downstairs

One item after another was sold, but Lucian didn’t make a move

Allison didn’t understand. What was Lucian trying to buy? Why did he bring her here

It wasn’t until a topgrade pink diamond appeared that Lucian beside her finally acted, bidding directly and spending ten million dollars. Once the deal was sealed, Lucian leaned in and asked her, Do you like it?” 

Allison was taken aback, Is this for me?” 

Who else would it be for?He smirked

The auction ended, and it was completely dark outside

Lucian held Allison’s hand as they left. The night breeze was crisp and cool

She ran her fingers through her hair, which had been tousled by the wind, when suddenly she felt him pull her closer. His handsome face seemed to magnify in front of her

Their distance was closing, and Lucian’s breath left a warm trail on Allison’s cheek

His gaze made Allison’s face gradually turn red

I have to go to England next Friday.” 

OkayHis sudden proximity made Allison nervous. She clenched her hands and her face was burning hot

Lucian looked at the woman with a face full of makeup, yet her features were still delicate. Only her exposed ears, tinged with a deep pink, which clearly showed her shyness. He frowned, then laughed

He hadn’t expected Penelope to be so easily embarrassed

It was completely different from her usual open demeanor around him

The diamond he gave her was partly out of duty but also as a reminder that he already had a fiancée. But now, as he looked at his fiancée, he kept thinking of that other woman

Realizing this, Lucian’s gaze cooled slightly, I have something else to do. I’ll have Dominic take you home.As for the confusion in his heart, he’d deal with it when he came back

MmmAllison didn’t dare ask more. Her heart was pounding like a drum, and she couldn’t wait to leave. If she stayed with him any longer, she was afraid she’d give herself away

Just as she was about to get in the car, he grabbed her wrist and his warm lips landed on her forehead

Wait for me, Penelope. Wait for me to come back.”
