The next morning, for the first time in several days, Ivana Bennett opened her eyes and saw Lucas Walker asleep beside her.
Gazing at the evident weariness on his face, Ivana also slightly furrowed her brows.
His status often left him with no choice.
She understood this all too well; after all, her own father had been the same way, seldom spending time at home.
Yet, she still felt sorry for him.
Without disturbing him, she simply lay there with her eyes open beside him, motionless.
Until... the door was knocked on by the assistant.
Lucas Walker's eyes snapped open, and Ivana immediately smiled, showing him a grin.
"Morning."
"Good morning!" he said with a smile, kissing her forehead and sitting up, "I have two important meetings today, I'll come back to pick you up in the afternoon, and tonight we'll have dinner together at the Royal Palace, and then we'll return to Bitterford tomorrow."
