Escape From My Step Brother's Dangerous Obsession (Skylar and Callias)

Skylar's P.O.V.

I lay in bed, my mind never at peace, so I simply left the bedroom and walked across the foyer to the living room without turning on the lights.

As a consequence, I had only taken a few steps when I saw red sparks flickering in the darkness. It was only then that I belatedly noticed that there seemed to be a faint smell of smoke in the air. My footsteps stopped for a moment, and I gave a tentative cry, "Lukas!"

Lukas hummed slightly.

My heart suddenly jumped into my chest and I tried my best to act as if nothing had happened. "Why aren't you turning on your lights?"

Who are you trying to scare to death by smoking in the living room with the lights off?

Lukas was silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

He must have smoked a lot and his voice was hoarse, "If you want, I'll turn on the floor lamp for you!"

I heard that he was about to turn on the light and said hastily, "Don't turn on the light!"

Maybe there are some words you cannot say when the lights are lit.

Since Lukas is also home, I have no plans to do any more work alone.

I could clearly feel that Lukas seemed to be looking at me, even though I was in the dark.

On top of that, he didn't seem to be in a very good mood.

I pursed my lips and took a deep breath of air. "Lukas, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

Lukas hummed, sounding hoarse and a little too sexy for his own good. "Go ahead!"

My mouth moved, and it took me a long time to find the words.

"Why did you help me? I can't figure it out. Why are you always so nice to me?"

Lukas seemed to have put out the cigarette that was in his hand, and the only spark in the darkness went out.

His tone was very calm. "I don't want to see you being bullied by others all the time!"

I frowned, thinking about what he had heard today, he looked a little worse for wear. "Is it that simple?"

Lukas asked me back, "What else?"

When I heard his tone, I seemed to be able to imagine that he had a frown on his face.

I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. I had the feeling that my whole body had been in a state of anxiety for a whole day, and I was extremely upset. I said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "Isn't it because I look like Emily?" A while back, I saw a picture of Lucas' ex-girlfriend, Emily, at a party.

It wasn't until that moment that I realized why Lucas had agreed to my abrupt proposal at that time.

Because Emily and I looked so much alike.

Lukas' voice fell all of a sudden. "Why would you ask that?"

There was extreme stubbornness in my tone as I spoke. "Answer my question first!"

"Is that why you've been messing with me lately?" Lucas' tone seemed a little cold, "You're questioning me?"

I was a little angry and could not hide the jealousy in my heart:

"Lukas, why don't you answer my question, right? Is it because I @ looked like Emily, and you still care about her, so you went out of your way to help me out like that? asked.

When Lukas heard my tone, he seemed to be able to sense how hurt and uncomfortable I felt.

His tone was deep and he had a bit of a helpless look on his face.

"Skylar, that's not the case! I am only helping you because of who you are. I just don't want my wife to have to suffer malicious verbal abuse from other people, that's all!"

I stopped talking. I was a little bit confused. Is this really the case?

On the other side of the sofa, Lukas

seemed to stand up. His tone of voice was inexplicably strong. "Skylar, you have been asking me so many questions. Isn't it time you had some answers to my questions? What happened? Why don't you want to come back?"

he asked.

When I stood in front of Lukas like this, even though I couldn't see his face and I couldn't hear his tone,

couldn't help but give up, so l I decided to tell the truth and tell

Lukas what I had heard.

When Lukas heard these words, his eyes turned dark in the darkness of the room.

Lukas said in a deep voice, "Skylar, come over here!"

I must have seen where Lukas was at that moment, and I felt a little bit uncomfortable. "Why do I have to come over there?"noveldrama

Lukas' tone was a little doting. "Come here and I will tell you if what they are saying is true or false!"

"Really?" I hesitated for a second.

In the darkness, Lukas seemed to think that I was like a wary kitten, looking at him with hesitation and fear, not daring to take a step forward.

He couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Others only mentioned it in passing. I cared so much for Emily. I must like him!

He could not hesitate any longer and needed to find a time as soon as possible to tell me that he loved me.

At the thought of this, there was a slight smile in his voice.

"Really!"
