Smiling faintly, he answered the call. "Honey?"
However, Jules' anxious voice immediately came from the other end. "Lucas!"
She deliberately sounded panicked. "Adeline came over, and she's refusing to leave our apartment."
She paused just long enough to make it believable before adding, "Come back quickly and get her out."
The smile on Lucas's face disappeared instantly. His brows knitted tightly together.
"What?"
A strange sense of uneasiness settled inside his heart. Even so, he didn't dare waste a single second.
'What if Adeline says something that makes Jules misunderstand even more?'
Without another thought, he immediately rushed toward the apartment. The entire drive felt unusually long.
Fortunately, there wasn't much traffic. Only a few minutes later, he arrived outside the apartment.
The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he noticed something unusual. The apartment door was already slightly open.
Lucas instinctively frowned. 'Why is the door open?'
