Chapter 254 A Gof Hearts
“What is that girl up to...” Lucas muttered under his breath, though he couldn't stop the small smile tugging at
his lips.
Inside the room, Sloane leaned against the door and exhaled softly. Her cheeks were faintly flushed, her heart
still beating a little fast. She glanced down at her hands, and a relaxed smile slowly curved across her face.
“So | really have fallen for Lucas,” she whispered. It wasn’t exactly a surprise-she’d suspected it for a while. Now,
she was simply sure.
She couldn't help but giggle as she recalled the dazed look on Lucas’s face just moments earlier.
She was certain he had feelings for her too. She just didn’t understand why he kept holding back. It didn’t match
his usual overbearing nature at all.
Sloane wasn’t one for dragging things out, especially when it cto emotions.
“Lucas, you're not getting away,” she said softly, a glint of mischief flickering in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Jill had heard from Samson that Sloane was staying with Lucas. She immediately gathered a few
friends and headed straight for the Hawthorne estate.
The moment they walked in, Jill called out excitedly, “Sloane! We're here! We heard you were staying over, so we
cto hang out!”
Sloane stepped out of her room when she heard the voices. She saw Jill, Samson, and a few other familiar faces
standing in the living room, all beaming with excitement.
She quickly cdownstairs to greet them. “What are you guys doing here?”
Jill gave her a playful wink. “What, did we cat a bad time?”
Samson glanced at Lucas, who had just walked out. “How about a barbecue today?”
Lucas didn’t answer right away. Instead, he looked at Sloane, who was standing a step below him. “What do you
think?”
Sloane raised an eyebrow. “Sounds good to me.”
Jill clapped her hands. “Perfect! I'll have them get the grill and food ready in the yard right now!”
The group moved out to the backyard lawn. The weather was perfect-warm sunlight, a gentle breeze, and the air
rich with the scent of blooming flowers and fresh grass.
The grill was already piled with ingredients, and the charcoal was blazing. The smell of sizzling food quickly filled
the air.
As she flipped the food, Jill suddenly suggested, “Just eating feels boring. Let's play a game!”
“I'm in,” Samson chimed in.

Sloane turned to him with a smile. “Lucas, wanna cplay too?”
Lucas usually wasn’t one for party games, but under her gaze, he nodded. “Alright.”

Jill immediately pulled out a deck of cards, grinning from ear to ear. “Let's play Truth or Dare. Loser has to
answer a question or do a challenge!”
The gkicked off, and the mood quickly turned lively. After a few rounds, everyone was laughing and
thoroughly enjoying themselves. When it was Sloane's turn, she drew a dare card.
Jill snatched it, eyes gleaming with mischief. “Sloane, your dare is... stare into the eyes of the person on your left
for three minutes-no laughing!”
Sloane glanced to her left-and saw Lucas.
She turned to face him, locking eyes. “Let's do it.”
Lucas blinked in surprise, but then their gazes met in midair.
Sloane's eyes were clear and sharp, glinting with playful defiance. She tilted her chin slightly, like she was daring
him to break first.
