Chapter 255 The Shrimp Incident
Lucas let out a soft laugh, his gaze deep and gentle as he traced every feature of Sloane's face.
Her eyes sparkled like a sky full of stars, playful and bright. The slight curve of her lips carried a teasing edge,
yet there was something sweet in it too.
A faint flush colored her cheeks, and even the tips of her ears had turned pink, making her look irresistibly
charming.
Lucas’s heart sped up without warning, and his breathing grew uneven. He could feel her breath brushing softly
against his skin, laced with a light floral scent-warm, clean, and disarming.
His eyes drifted to her lips-lightly pressed together, delicate and pink. They felt like a silent invitation, stirring a
longing he struggled to contain.
His fingers tightened around the edge of the stool. Those three minutes felt endlessly long.
When twas finally up, Sloane pulled away and turned to Jill with a triumphant grin. “Task complete!”
Jill and the others burst out cheering, their laughter filling the air with even more energy.
As the gcontinued, Sloane somehow kept drawing tasks that involved Lucas-feeding him grilled food,

Lucas kept a straight face, but the red creeping up his ears said otherwise. He clutched the stool so hard it
seemed like he might break it.
Sloane, while laughing and playing along with Jill, never missed a single flicker of emotion on Lucas’s face.
She blinked slowly, grinning like a sly little fox.
When the gwound down and dusk settled/in, everyone gathered around the bonfire, soaking in the peaceful
evening.
Lucas sat beside Sloane, his eyes drifting to her now and then, full of quiet tenderness.
Sloane turned toward him, eyeing the grilled shrimp he had just peeled. “That one any good?”
Lucas had peeled it for her anyway and was about to hand it over when she leaned in and took a bite straight
from his hand. Her move was so casual and natural, like it was the most ordinary thing in the world.
“Mm. Tastes great,” she said, chewing contentedly. She stood up and strolled toward Jill without looking back.
“I'm joining the next round.”,
Lucas stared at the shrimp in his hand, now missing a bite, his fingers curling around it slightly.
Just then, Samson wandered over, clearly worn out from playing. He eyed the shrimp. “You done with
that? I'll take-"
Before he could finish, Lucas instinctively shifted the shrimp away from him.

Samson froze, then glared at him. “Seriously? It's just shrimp! You're being stingy over grilled shrimp?”
Lucas swallowed the bite and replied evenly, “Not this one. Take anything else.”
Samson stared in disbelief. Was this really the sLucas-usually so indifferent and generous, never caring
about stuff like this?
Fuming, he took a bite of his own grilled meat and muttered, “You've changed, Lucas...”
Lucas didn’t even glance at him, continuing to eat what remained of the shrimp.
Samson looked around. Sloane and Jill had wandered off somewhere together, out of sight.
He scooted closer to Lucas.
Lucas shot him a sideways look, clearly unimpressed.
“You obviously like Sloane,” Samson said with a frown. “So why haven't you told her?”
