The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 19

The Flanagan family's mansion.

Leah Flanagan-Eaden had been waiting for Allison since she got back from the hospital. She couldn't help but complain when she saw her return so late, "You went out for dinner; why did it take you so long?"

Allison didn't dare admit that she hadn't actually gone to meet Lucian, so she mumbled, "It was raining outside, so it took a bit more time."

"You're really ungrateful, and you dare talk back!" Leah was already pissed off, and Allison's explanation only added fuel to her rage. She grabbed a porcelain cup from the table and chucked it at her.

The white cup flew straight toward Allison's face, and she had no time to react.

Allison instinctively closed her eyes, but she didn't feel the expected pain.

All she felt was a shadow flashing in front of her and a pair of long, powerful hands catching the cup skillfully.

The scent that reached her nose was the familiar smell of rainwater mixed with a faint hint of tobacco from the car before.

She opened her eyes, looking a bit perplexed at Lucian standing in front of her.

Not only was she surprised, but so was Leah, "Ah, ah, ...Lucian."

Despite Lucian being her future son-in-law, the prestige of the Lindberg family and his cold demeanor made Leah somewhat afraid.

Leah was both angry and shocked. Had Lucian brought Allison back? Why hadn't this woman said anything earlier?

"Why didn't you tell me Lucian was here, Penelope..."

"Ma'am!" Allison quickly interrupted, preventing Leah from saying "Penelope". If she had, it would've been a real mess.

"Ma'am, when I came back this afternoon, it was pouring rain. I happened to run into Mr. Lindberg. He originally planned to come and visit you and sir. Knowing that I'm a servant of the Flanagan family, he kindly offered me a ride."

Leah's back was drenched with cold sweat, "So that's what happened... Why aren't you making a cup of coffee for Lucian yet?!"
