The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 185

As she spoke, she glanced at Allison, genuinely worried that Lucian might notice something amiss, particularly with Allison dressed in her snug little Chanel-esque outfit. Even if they looked quite alike, she was still scared, especially since Allison knew the secret about her and Pete. At the moment, Penelope was on pins and needles.

Allison played dumb, "I'm okay."

Jason walked up to Allison, "Ms. Flanagan, Allison is my classmate, so you don't need to fret about her."

Penelope smiled, surprised that Jason would defend a maid in front of everyone.

Lucian walked in, his eyes landing on Allison, who was dressed in a light pink dress that accentuated her fair skin. With a light blush on her cheeks and standing behind Jason, he found her quite the eyesore.

Seeing Lucian looking at Allison, Penelope quickly approached him and took his arm, "Lucian, the baby just gave me a little kick."

Lucian replied gently, "Such a naughty baby."

"Lucian."

Zachary helped Carter down the stairs; Cora quickly went over to him, "Dad."

Carter nodded, his gaze sweeping across Allison's face, pausing ever so slightly. Allison immediately felt a wave of pressure.

Jason said, "Grandpa, this is my classmate Allison."

Carter’s gaze slowly moved away, "Let's eat."

Allison sat next to Jason, feeling quite uneasy during the meal. But the more stressed one was Penelope. The guilt of hiding something inside was overwhelming. As long as Lucian's gaze lingered on Allison, Penelope would fear being found out and constantly made excuses to divert his attention, which only made her look more guilty.

Lucian's sharp gaze fell on Penelope's face.
