Chapter 73 

At the same time, the bedside lamp was turned on by the person standing next to the bed. 

Reese looked at the man standing by the bed with suspicion, and it took her a while for her heart to settle 

down. 

With an unpleasant expression, she glared at the man who appeared in her room in the middle of the 

night, “What are you doing here in the middle of the night?” 

This midnight fright almost scared half of her half out of her. 

Lukas remained silent, wearing a stern face. 

Reese was really scared, and seeing Lukas not saying anything only made her more annoyed, “Do you know that scaring people can kill them? Are you sleepwalking in the middle of the night?” 

Lukas looked at Reese with an enigmatic expression. 

He knew it was really inappropriate to suddenly appear in Reese’s room in the middle of the night. 

But he couldn’t fall asleep at all. 

After he had taken a shower, he had gone to bed early, but he couldn’t stand the sweet scent on his body. 

He had taken two more showers. 

However, even so, he still couldn’t fall asleep. He secretly bought the same shampoo and shower gel as Reese, but found that the scent was completely different from what she had on her body. 

He was furious and had eaten several mint candies in a row, but couldn’t suppress his agitation. 

Before Reese, he had trouble sleeping at night too, but it was never this difficult to endure. 

For someone who could quit smoking as soon as he willed it, he didn’t think there was anything he 

couldn’t bear. 

Unfortunately, he was shocked to find that he couldn’t stand this feeling of not being able to sleep. He didn’t want to take sleeping pills, so he decided to find out what scent Reese had on her. 

He didn’t expect that Reese would wake up in the middle of the night. 

However, in the current situation, he couldn’t possibly say that he just came over to secretly smell her scent. That would sound creepy and utterly shameful.

Lukas’s eyes flickered as he looked at Reese, who was holding back her anger. 

He said, “I’m more familiar with this bed. I wanted to come over and sleep.” 

Reese knew that this was the master bedroom, and Lukas might have slept here before. 

Though she was still a little frightened, she had no reason to refute Lukas’s words. 

Reese suppressed her anger, took a deep breath, and was about to get out of bed, saying, “Then I’ll sleep in 

the next room.” 

However, before her feet touched the ground, Lukas grabbed her arm firmly, his expression dark. “No 

need. The bed is big enough, I can share it with you. I’m not that selfish.” 

Reese frowned, “It’s not about being selfish or not. I need to keep my distance from you, so I won’t have any inappropriate thoughts. I really dare not sleep with you. Otherwise, if I do something that makes you misunderstand, you might think I have feelings for you. I really don’t want to explain it to you 

repeatedly.” 

Lukas looked at her silently. He thought she liked explaining things. 

Having to explain to herself several times in one day, she made it clear that she had no feelings for him. 

Even if he used to think that way, he was too lazy to think like that now. 

As soon as Reese finished speaking, the butler’s worried voice came from outside, “Madam, I heard you scream just now. Is everything alright?” 

Lukas frowned and raised his voice, “It’s nothing. We were just playing around. You don’t need to worry.” 

Reese glared at Lukas, her gaze saying, “Who’s playing around with you?” 

Lukas ignored her expression and said straightforwardly, “You can rest assured, I believe you have no feelings for me now. You don’t need to explain anymore. Just go to sleep.” 

Reese remained frozen in place. 

Lukas became somewhat impatient, “If I tell you to sleep, then sleep. I won’t do anything to you. What are 

you worried about?” 

Reese’s lips moved, and she looked at Lukas with a complicated expression. “Mr. Strakovski, I rea” don’t understand what you want. You told me not to have inappropriate thoughts, yet you are the one who wanted to share a bed with me. What exactly…” 

Lukas’s expression also turned grim, but he couldn’t bring himself to say that he wanted to sleep with her 

in his arms.

With a cold and domineering tone, he said, “Reese, did you forget what I said to you when we registered 

our marriage?” 

Reese was taken aback, “What do you mean?” 

Lukas’s lips curled slightly as he calmly uttered four words, “Marital obligations.” 

Reese’s face instantly changed. 

She remained silent for a few seconds before looking up at Lukas, “Mr. Strakovski, if I understand correctly, you mean that I can’t have any feelings for you, but I must fulfill your requests and perform marital obligations. Is that what you’re saying?” 

Lukas looked at her expressionlessly, “You’ve understood it thoroughly.”
