Chapter 130 His Terrible Skills
+15 BONUS
Calista hadn’t expected a mere argument between strangers to direct Selena’s attention back on
her.
“No…”
“Don’t lie to me. If that bastard forced you to take anything of the sort, I’ll kill him myself!”
Selena was truly all up in arms. As long as Calista said the word, the woman was ready to arm
herself to confront Lucian.
Calista shook her head.
“It’s nothing like that, Mom. He never forced me to take anything… We were married for three
years, yes, but he has never touched me.”
Ever since they openly discussed the divorce with Selena, Calista had begun to express herself
more freely. She stopped hiding things.
“What?”
Selena’s eyes were wide with shock at the revelation.
“You mean… The two of you never consummated your marriage?”
After all, they were mother–in–law and daughter–in–law. There was still a difference in seniority.
between them. She felt embarrassed to ask.
“Is it because Lucian..? Should I talk to the doctor to prescribe more of those pills? Maybe if he
takes more, it might work!”
Now, it was Calista who felt embarrassed. She didn’t need Selena feeding Lucian any more random
medication
She hurriedly explained, “No. He doesn’t need pills. He’s fine. He doesn’t want anything to do
with me. You don’t have to worry. You’ll have a grandchild once he marries the one he loves.”
“That’s impossible. He told me
Selena’s voice trailed off No, she had to ask Lucian herself What if she said something wrong and
caused even further misunderstanding between the pair? That would be a grave mistake

She immediately lost interest in shopping.
“Let’s go. We’ll have dinner at the Stansend Manor tonight.”
Calista hadn’t wanted to join the woman. But she noticed Selena’s fluctuating moods and worried
if her words had struck a nerve. So, she followed.
Once home, Selena headed to the study on the second floor. Macy was puzzled.
“Madam Calista, did something happen to Madam Selena? Weren’t the two of you out shopping?
Why does she seem so unhappy?”
Calista shook her head. She didn’t know what to say. An hour later, Lucian, who should’ve been
back at the office, had driven home. He first shot Calista a glance before proceeding upstairs.
The study’s door was slightly ajar. He first knocked on the door before stepping in.
“You wanted to see me, Mom?”
“Speak. What is going on between you and Calista? You were the one who insisted on marrying
her. Then, you leave her miserable. Three years and you haven’t…” she took a deep breath. “Didn’t
you promise me that you would wholeheartedly commit yourself to her? Is this how you commit
yourself to someone? It’s been years. Calista even kept it from me for your sake!”
Lucian hadn’t expected his mother to summon him with such urgency for this.
“Did she tell you we haven’t slept together since we got married?”
Calista had been playing some mobile games to pass the time when Lucian made his way
downstairs. He was making a beeline right for her.
She was seated on a long couch with the armrest on her right. It left plenty of space on her left.
However, he sat down right next to her.
They were so close that their legs were touching. Anyone who caught sight of them would think
something was going on between them.
She frowned and shifted away slightly
“Stay away. This couch should be more than long enough for you.”

His expression remained unchanged.
“Why did you tell Mom we haven’t been intimate in three years?”
Hah, here he was to criticize her again. Calista looked away from her phone and turned her attention to the man’s face.
“What else did you want me to say?” she asked innocently.
“Mom was only asking about having kids. You could’ve just said we didn’t want any.”
“Who doesn’t want one? Me or you? We’ve already gone to court. All pretenses are off. Why should I cover your ass for you? What are you so worried about? Your age? Or is it your inability to get it up? Or do you want two wives?”
If sarcasm could materialize a weapon, Calista’s attitude would’ve turned him into a pincushion. Lucian frowned.
“Do you hate me because I never bedded you, Mrs. Northwood? Is your dissatisfaction why you’re throwing a tantrum?”
She smiled coldly.
“No. I feel grateful for your restraint. Now that I think about it, sharing a bed with you would be even more unbearable than bedding a dog! Our first time was awful enough. It’s such a complete waste of your gifted physique!”
She had gotten so emotional that she didn’t bother quieting down. Unbeknownst to her, Selena had just come downstairs and heard everything she had to say!
The same went for Macy, who was in the kitchen preparing dinner… Would it be bad for her to close the kitchen doors now?
Calista froze. Damn it. She cursed inwardly for having exploded into speaking in such an impolite
manner.
There was no one else back at both the Everglade Manor and the apartment She had forgotten that she was in Stansend Manor with servants swarming about. Her mother–in–law was also
present
She abruptly got to her feet and grabbed her bag. With not a word of goodbye, she turned and fled. Lucian’s lips pressed into a thin line. He was just about to follow when
“Lucian…” Selena stopped him.
+15 BONUS
This was the first time since his marriage that his mother called his name in such a loving tone.
The man turned and asked calmly, “What is it?”
“Don’t just focus on work all the time. You should… read up on some material. Or ask your friends
who have experience…”
Lucian was silent.
“Umm…”
She jerked her chin and gestured to the gate.
“You should go after Calista. It’s not easy to hail a taxi out here. Don’t lose her.”
Calista was out the gates within seconds. Yet, there was a rapid sound of footsteps behind her
followed by a grip around her wrist.
“Let go of me, Lucian…”
He tightened his jaw and dragged her to his car. He opened the door and shoved her in. She
wanted to get out but his tall figure stood in her way.
He was giving her condescending looks with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. It sent chills down
her spine.
“You think I’m bad at this, Mrs. Northwood? You rather have a dog as a partner?”
