Chapter 60: Mother, Your Face Looks A Bit Red
"Nadia! We have just been talking about you," Yiman said with his usual charming yet slick smile.
"Let's all come over here and talk," Yiman said as he directed the two towards a small corner without anybody nearby.
Nadia firmly pressed her lips together and noticed how Lucas' had an uncomfortable expression. Clearly, he did not want to stay around him for even a second longer.
But Lucas didn't want to leave since Nadia was right in front of him, and he didn't want Yiman to make things difficult for her.
However, he felt a little flustered upon seeing her dressed in such a professional yet…sexy way. There was also a certain glow on her face and body, making her seem even more alluring than usual. Even her clothes seemed to cling to her body too much like glue.
But what puzzled him was what she was doing here when she was supposed to be in the palace. Was Yiman up to something here? Lucas felt suspicious and wanted to ask Nadia right away what was going on. However, he had to first wait for Yiman to leave.
By coincidence or on purpose, Yiman somehow walked past him just a few minutes ago and told him to accompany him for a walk.
Lucas had to suppress his resentment and endure the pent-up hatred and anger he had towards Yiman while walking with him. How could he forget that Yiman was the reason he and his mother were trapped here, just like in prison?
But the fact that bothered him the most was that his stepmother, who was also his lover, was going to marry him soon. Even if Nadia had given him reassurances, he couldn't even stand the idea of them getting married. He had always dreamed of marrying Nadia since his younger years, but now his most hated enemy was going to have that pleasure.
This also made him remember Celia and how she was also facing the same fate…All because of him.If only he had the power or strength, he could have taken down Yiman and saved his mother already. This only fueled his motivation to grow stronger even more.
"Your Majesty…I thought you had some work to do?" Nadia asked with furrowed brows. She would have called him by his name if it were not for them being in a public place. She was hoping she wouldn't have to see his face until the evening after everything he had made her go through indirectly. She was sure Yiman and Zhen probably planned all this together.
But in the end, she was the one who chose to go ahead with it despite suspecting all this.
Yiman chuckled as he walked over to Nadia and said, "Oh, I am almost done with that. But aren't you going to tell your son about the good news?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Mother, what good news?"
Nadia smiled as she said, "I came here to apply as a teacher in the royal sect, and I…they took me in."
Lucas raised his brows in astonishment and smiled since this meant that he no longer had to wait till evening to see her. He can see her here itself and even have her as his teacher.
At last, this was indeed good news. He wasn't surprised she got the job since he knew how knowledgeable and talented she was. If only she had her cultivation, then no other teacher would have stood a chance.
But Nadia's expression froze as she suddenly felt a hand groping her ass. She immediately turned her gaze towards the side to see Yiman smiling at her calmly.
'You dirty bastard!' Nadia wanted to shout in anger and panic, but Lucas' presence and the fact that they were in a public place made her keep her mouth shut.
She could only send stabbing glares towards Yiman, though he seemed least bothered by her glares. She couldn't believe he had the guts to grope her in public, especially in front of Lucas.
She had clearly told Yiman many times that Lucas could never learn about what was really going on between them. So by touching her, was he trying to break his own words, or was he trying to mess with her? Whichever it was, Nadia wanted to break his arms right here and now.
"Mother…"
"Uh, yes!" Nadia panicked as she quickly moved her gaze towards Lucas before he felt something was off.
"...Does this mean you will teach here every day?" Lucas asked with excitement in his eyes.
"O-Of course…It's a permanent position," Nadia said with a slightly shaky smile since she was finding it hard to maintain her composure with Yiman's hand slipping into her asscrack.
His fingers were brazenly pressing against her vulva, making her legs rub against each other slightly.
'Yiman, I will kill you!' Nadia was tempted to shout these words, but yet again, she could only suppress her anger and even keep up her smile for Lucas' sake. And looking at his oblivious face only made it harder for her.
But the remnants of the aphrodisiac in her body were getting triggered due to Yiman's actions, and Nadia had to clench her jaws together due to the sudden stimulation she was feeling.
It was not as bad or severe as before, but still, it hadn't been a few minutes since Zhen went all out on her without even letting her rest. And before she knew it, she could feel her panties getting wet, making her feel like dying from shame and guilt, especially with Lucas in front of her.
What if he learns what Yiman was doing to her? Wouldn't his heart break as well as hers?
"Mother, are you alright? Your face looks a bit—"
Nadia awkwardly chuckled as she said, "Ah…i-it's nothing. I-I feel too tired and exhausted. I had to attend some physical examinations to get the role of a teacher, and it…was really taxing."
Nadia sent a quick pleading glare towards Yiman to stop touching her, and fortunately, to her surprise, Yiman listened to her.
Nadia felt highly relieved and realized that Yiman wanted to lower herself to beg him to stop touching her. She didn't know what she ever did to suffer under a lowlife with brains like him.
"Oh no. Then you should go and take some rest, mother. I can imagine how hard it must have been for you," Lucas sympathized since he himself knew how physically exhausting these examinations can be.
With Nadia's expertise in swords, they must have asked her to replicate some moves for a long while.
'No wonder her clothes look a bit wet,' Lucas concluded.
"Lucas is right. You should go and rest. I will go and finish my work as well. See you later," Yiman said with a wink as he walked away while Nadia stared at his back with a hateful glare.
