Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 464: Going Back Home.

Lucas waited for his mother to finish talking to Jen, but it didn't look like she was about to let her go anytime soon. They had been joined by Diane, but she had only spoken a few words before leaving earlier.

Jake had arrived on the same day so he was exhausted after such a long night, so Diane left with him earlier. She had already lost track of her other daughter but didn't stress too much and just went to the car that Lucas had arranged for them. The mother and son were driven back to the hotel.

Noah pointedly looked at Lucas, and he looked back at his father. He knew his father was asking him to hurry up and take his girlfriend away. Lucas was looking at his father as if asking him why he was not taking his wife away. 

At the end of the day, Lucas lost to his father and interrupted his mother, telling her that he had to go home to rest if he was going to come over the next day and left before she could stop him. Hellen looked at the couple leave with mixed feelings before she felt herself get embraced. 

"They've really grown up," Hellen said with emotion, her eyes glistening with tears. Noah looked at his wife helplessly and thought to himself if she was already like this at the engagement party, won't she bawl her eyes out on the wedding?

"Let's go back home," Noah said and kissed the top of her head. Hellen nodded and let him lead her back to the car. They were brought by a driver, so they sat alone in the backseat. Noah pulled Hellen to lean against him as he rubbed her back in comfort. 

"Are you feeling better now?" he asked her. He knew she hadn't really cried but was just feeling a bit melancholic.

"I am," she answered.

"Let them grow up. Once Lucas finishes with school, I'll mentor him for a while before we go on vacation," Noah said as his eyes that were looking at her face drifted lower and Hellen adjusted her dress and lifted his face by pushing his chin up with her index finger.

"My face is up here," she said to him with a mock glare, and Noah chuckled before pressing a button on his seat, making the partition come up.

"I can tell, did Hannah make this dress for you?" he asked as he pushed the thin strap of her dress, making it slide down her arm.

"Yes," Hellen answered honestly and watched the way his eyes darkened. As a couple that had been married for almost thirty years, she was still surprised that his passion had not diminished from day one. Even though he looked like an ascetic to other people, only she knew of his capabilities.

"I'll need to send her a thank you gift," Noah said and pulled her to straddle his lap. The long slit of the dress exposing her thigh. Although Hellen was almost fifty, she looked like she was in her late thirties. What was the secret? A happy marriage, of course. Having money helped too. 

"Can you not act like a teenager?" Hellen asked Noah, who looked at her with an admiring gaze. This man was good for her self-esteem.

"I can't help it when you are around," Noah answered, and a handsome smile appeared on his face. Hellen fiddled with his salt and pepper hair before leaning down to kiss him.

When Jen and Lucas got in the car, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief before leaning back and loosening his tie. He undid the first two buttons of his shirt and instantly felt much more comfortable. Jen watched his set of actions with a faint smile, which widened when they made eye contact.

"Mom won't be upset right?" Jen asked him as she thought of how Lucas had just dragged her away from his mother.

"She'll be fine, dad will appease her," Lucas said as played with a loose hair strand that had fallen on her face.

Hellen who was currently being appeased:

"As long as she isn't upset," Jen said as she looked at Lucas who was looking at her with an ambiguous smile.

"What are you looking at?" Jen asked and subconsciously touched her face.

"You, I'm just thinking that I wish this guy could drive faster so we can get home quickly," Lucas said, his gaze turning hot. Since he saw her wearing that dress, he wanted to take it off. Or maybe he didn't want to take it off. In conclusion, he wanted to do stuff to her.

Jen smacked his arm before looking at the driver to see if he had heard him. The driver remained expressionless as he drove.

Just when she was about to sigh in relief, she could feel the car speed up and her cheeks become flushed. She looked at Lucas and smacked his arm again. This time, however, he caught her hand and pulled it so she fell on his chest.

"You don't have to be so impatient miss Larson," Lucas said with a chuckle and hugged her closer to him. Jen just buried her face in his chest. She decided that she would stay like this until they reached the hotel.

"Mh, you can rest a bit, I don't know when we're going to sleep today," Lucas continued to tease and Jen pinched his side but didn't lift her head. He made her comfortable before he too closed his eyes.

If they ended up getting married at one of the Lewis hotels, he will just book a room. He has learned from this experience that he was not very patient, especially with Jen looking so beautiful. She looked so beautiful in the dress she was wearing that he wanted to take it off!

The moment the car stopped, Lucas opened his eyes. He shook the slumbering Jen awake, and she squinted her eyes before sitting up.

"Are you tired?" he asked her and she shook her head.

"I was just comfortable and drifted off," Jen said and stopped herself from rubbing her eyes. Lucas thought she was cute. As he had this thought, he decided that was why they had to get back quickly.

The couple got off the car and went through the lobby, where they attracted a lot of eyes. Jen with her forest green dress and adornments really drew a lot of attention. The train of the dress followed behind her, showing just how extravagant the dress was. The two however were still a bit disoriented as they had just woken up, so they didn't pay these people any mind.

Once the elevator doors closed, Lucas did not hold himself back and completely let himself go. Jen was caught off guard when he pulled her into his arms and kissed her silly.

The sleeves of the dress were off-shoulder, and the dress did not have a back. Lucas had kept wondering what was holding the dress up. And was even more surprised that she did not need to adjust the dress, not even once.

His kiss trailed down her neck to her bare shoulders. He raised the hand that had been on her lower back and came into contact with her skin. With this, he already felt like he wouldn't be able to make it to their bedroom.
