Chapter 999 Steven Had His Own Dignity

Lucia walked in and motioned to Carlota to bring a bowl of hot porridge.

"Steven, it's already late. Why are you still drawing?"

Lucia asked, her voice filled with concern. She took the bowl of porridge and placed it on the table next to him.

Steven put the brush down and smiled. "Well, it's quiet at this time. I get more inspiration and I'm able to concentrate better at night. Why are you still up? I thought you had already gone to sleep."

"I'm waiting for you." Lucia glanced at Steven's painting and rolled her eyes. "Have your porridge before it gets cold. Come to bed with me once you finish eating," she said, biting her lower lip.

Steven and Lucia were in a love bubble. But Lucia never got another chance to sleep with him after that night on the Eastern Island.

Steven took a sip of the porridge and placed it down. "Okay, you go back to your room first. I'll finish it in half an hour and I'll be with you then."

"What's so interesting about this crappy painting?" Lucia grunted and quickly changed her expression. "Err ... I mean it's almost done. Why can't you finish it tomorrow?"

She tugged his hand and pulled him to his feet.

Steven realized that it was pointless hiding the painting when Lucia couldn't appreciate it.

"Umm ... Okay,"

he said and turned to look at Victor. "Victor, clean it up and wash the brushes."

"Yes, sir." Victor nodded.

As soon as they got into the room, Lucia took off her coat in one swift motion, her eyes raked Steven's body, shining with lust. She was looking like a hungry beast waiting to pounce on her prey.

"Steven, men are usually more eager to have sex than women. Why are you so calm about it?"

Lucia purred, blowing her hot breath across Steven's ears. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him closer to her.

Steven narrowed his amber eyes and looked at her. "Well, it differs from man to man. I'm not interested in sexual pleasures."

"Really? Are you uninterested in sex or me? Are you refusing to sleep with me because I am not Callie?"

Lucia aske

ucia couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw Steven putting on his clothes. But thinking of how hot he was last night, she smiled. Lucia was attracted to Steven's volatile temperament.

His every move was driving her crazy.

Just when Steven got dressed and was ready to leave, Carlota walked in.

"My lady..."

she trailed off when she saw Steven. She was hesitant to disclose the information with him present.

"It's OK. You can tell it in front of him."

Lucia sat up and looked at Carlota.

Without any hesitation, Carlota immediately said, "We have received the news that Andrea has become close to the head of the northern tribe."

It was bad news for Lucia.

Andrea had always shared a cordial relationship with Elena, the head of the northern tribe. Now, after returning to her home after twenty years, Andrea had managed to rekindle her relationship with her.

"What?"

Lucia clenched her fists. She couldn't suppress her rage. The head of the southern tribe had chosen to take Carla's side. And Sam, the head of the eastern tribe, began to waver after Carla attended her daughter's wedding.

If Elena took Carla's side as well, Lucia wouldn't stand a chance to win against her.

"I need to find a way to stop her!" Lucia said, seething with rage.

Steven, who was standing by the door, turned to look at her.

"I have a solution."
