Chapter 75 Jack Met Lucas

Lea, Eric and Mendes were happily gathered inside Rachel's house, playing like they were one big happy family.

The TV displayed an intense drag racing competition. Eric was so excited that he couldn't keep himself off the edge of the seat.

Mendes sat on the floor next to them and he would cheer from time to time.

When Lucas arrived, he never imagined that he'd see all of them having fun like this. It was unusual for these people to get along so well without arguing and making a scene.

While Lea and Eric were fiercely preoccupied with their match, someone started watching behind them. "Is it really that fun? You guys look intense," said the voice.

Lea was too focused on the screen to turn around. "Shut up, Mendes! I'm trying to focus here." She crouched closer to the screen to focus. "You're going down Eric!"

Mendes' voice was drowned by the two players' shouting. "But that wasn't me," he said.

Although she was too distracted by the game, Lea managed to slightly turn her head to the side. The moment she turned her head, the other player succeeded in overtaking her.

After a few seconds, Eric managed to finish in first place. He jumped from seat and kept yelling "I win!" over and over.

Lea gnashed her teeth and threw her controller on the floor. "If I didn't get distracted, I would've won!" She made a mess of her hair in her annoyance.

Eric laughed at her dismay. "So who's to blame for your loss if not you?"

Who could have distracted her? If it wasn't Mendes, then who was it?

When Lea looked behind her, she was stunned when she realized who it was. She almost ha

ey were discussing where to have dinner. After a moment of silence, Lucas spoke. "Why don't we all go out and have dinner together?"

Although everyone felt reluctant, they still went out for dinner together. They were an odd mix. Three men, two women, and a little boy.

The waiter ushered them into the restaurant and seated them. The situation was not any better than it was in the villa's living room.

Lea sat in the inner seat with Mendes, and Rachel sat next to them. Eric stared at the remaining three seats. There was no way he would sit next to Jack.

Not if they paid him a million dollars. He would rather die than get any closer to this jerk.

Eric decided that it was best to sit next to Rachel and Lea.

There were still three seats left. Lucas sat at the furthest end, opposite of Rachel.

Jack seated himself beside Lucas. Rachel noticed that something was off, but she didn't understand what was going on.

The waiter brought them the menu and let them order. Naturally, they let the child order first.

Lea distracted herself by playing with her phone.

They were in a Western restaurant, so it was okay for them to order what they wanted. There were children's meals on the menu, and Mendes was capable of ordering on his own.

While Rachel was checking the menu with Mendes, her phone suddenly rang. The message was from Lea.

She added eight exclamations at the end of her sentence. Lea must have been really shocked.

"What is he even doing here?!!!!!!!!" Rachel wrote, "Lea, you need to calm down. I didn't have any choice.

Let's try to act like adults for now, okay?"
