Paid To Care, Destined To Conquer Novel

Chapter 284 Entry Forbidden The next morning, Lucas opened his eyes, completely unable to recall how he had gotten back to his room the night before. His chubby feet were pressed together, and he was pouting in a chubby way with his hands propping up his cheeks, a little tuft of hair sticking up on his head. By the bed, Snowball peeked up its big head, slow as a sloth. Lucas whipped his head around to glare at it with a humph! Snowball sat in silence for a while.

With a cute wow, Snowball opened its mouth wide and carefully grabbed the little drawing board from the bookshelf, then slowly slithered over to Lucas. Its white tail tip tapped the floor. Clearly, it was waiting for some praise. Lucas planted a loud, smacking kiss right on Snowball's big head. Big Ben, fresh off its charging nap, opened its eyes to find Lucas plopped by the bed, butt sticking up, busy drawing, while Snowball had its head cocked to the side, looking goofy as ever, and shaking like a leaf. Even from a distance, one could see Snowball trembling.

"Huh?" Big Ben shuffled over, peering down at Lucas, totally speechless Finally, Big Ben got why that silly snake was trembling like crazy. Lucas looked up, his chubby face all serious. He handed the little drawing board with his cartoon-style doodle to Big Ben, motioning for him to hang it on the door. Big Ben went, "Whoa!" and instantly struck a fighting pose, backing away a few steps. Even a robot knew when to look out for itself! Lucas looked mad. Then he turned to look at Snowball. Snowball was shaking its head like crazy. Lucas was super mad.

He stomped across the floor in his bare feet, hurriedly yanked open the drawer, grabbed a little whistle, flung the window open with a bang, and started blowing it as hard as he could. Big Ben and Snowball exchanged a look, then joined Lucas in poking their round heads out the window. Not far away, a fluffy white figure came bounding toward them. An hour later, a black Maybach slowly pulled up in front of the villa. The back door swung open. Allan was the first to get out, hugging the plain plant to his chest.

All he wanted was a hot shower and to crash in bed and sleep like the dead, but just as he was thinking that, he caught sight of something at the door. Allan was stunned for a moment. A cold breeze swept over him from behind. Even the plain plant in his arms was shivering like crazy. Allan glanced over his shoulder and saw Sebastian, stone-faced, sidestep past him and stop at the foot of the steps, looking absolutely frosty. Sebastian pointed, his tone icy. "What's that?" Allan didn't know what to say for a moment.

At the very top of the steps, a massive, snow-white Samoyed sat there, easily half as tall as a person. The blue floral bandana around its neck had been swapped out for one with a sunny lemon-yellow daisy print. "Yeti?" Stella's voice rose in surprise as she sauntered out of the car, hands stuffed in her pockets. 1/3 Chapter 284 Entry Forbidden. Yeti barked. 'It's me!' it thought, wagging its tail excitedly. Stella started, "How did you-" but before she could finish, she spotted that familiar wooden sign propped up beside Yeti, the front painted with a cartoon doodle of a grumpy little kid.

Anyone could tell it was Lucas's handiwork. Yeti let out a big wow! He expertly poked at the sign with its paw. The little wooden sign flipped over. When they finally saw what was written on the sign, the whole crew froze in stunned silence. [Yeti and Uncle Sebastian, Entry Forbidden!] And right next to it was a cartoon kid, hands outstretched, looking even more ferocious. Stella, Sebastian, and Allan were all speechless! A chill radiated from Sebastian, a bad vibe swirling around him, making Allan instinctively swallow. Suddenly, Sebastian let out a cold laugh.

His broodingly handsome face was strikingly intense as he took the steps in long strides. Yeti, its fluffy fur bouncing with every move, quickly wiggled its little butt out of the way to clear the entrance. Allan wondered, 'Yeti sure knows when to step aside.' The door swung open. Inside the living room, totally oblivious to the danger lurking nearby, Big Ben was pulling three hydrating face masks out of its maid outfit's pocket. Even Snowball couldn't escape. It got one slapped on its face, too.

Big Ben sighed, "The seasons are changing, and it's so dry!" Lucas, Snowball, and Big Ben were sprawled out on the floor, eyes closed, enjoying the hydrating goodness, totally clueless that a dark aura was slowly closing in on them. Snowball's scales sensed the danger way before its brain even caught up. Its scales puffed up in an instant! With the face mask still stuck to his snout, Snowball plastered on a smile, desperately trying not to look like a total wimp. It then sprang up as it had just been called out for a drill, pressing itself flat against the wall, stiff as a board.

Sebastian stood there, stone-faced, staring down at his little nephew. Lucas was totally into it, using his chubby little fingers to tap-tap-tap the mask into place, making sure it fit just right. Lucas let out a happy smile. 'So refreshing!' he thought. "This feels so good.' Lucas blinked his eyes open. He blinked, his long lashes batting. 'Did I just see Uncle Sebastian or something?' Lucas wondered, feeling totally unsure. Lucas shut his eyes tight again and sneakily kicked Big Ben, who was still rocking that maid outfit, with his chubby foot. Big Ben sneaked a peek from under its eyelids.

With a quick move, Big Ben jumped up, and its face mask plopped right onto the floor. "Whoa, Sebastian's back!" Big Ben made a heart shape with its chubby little hands, even making sound effects with its mouth. "Love you!" Sebastian looked up at it, his gaze icy cold. Big Ben slumped its shoulders, looking all sad and defeated as it shuffled over in tiny steps to stand next to Snowball. Lucas fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he paused mid-move, his eyes sparkling in an instant. 'Stella!' Lucas thought, excitement bubbling up inside.

He flopped up like a little salted fish, his soft, squishy self getting ready to waddle over to where that familiar 2/3 Chapter 284 Entry Forbidden scent was coming from. He tried to waddle over, but his legs wouldn't budge! Lucas, still sporting his face mask, cocked his head in confusion. 'Huh?' Allan, ever the helpful one, pointed behind Lucas. Lucas turned his head in a daze, slow as a sloth. He saw Sebastian had hooked his finger around the corner of Lucas's beloved shark hoodie, holding him in place! 'Got caught!' Lucas thought, feeling totally busted.

Without thinking, he reached out his little hands toward Stella, who had just walked in, silently begging for help. 'Stella!' Lucas called out in his mind, his heart pounding. 'Help, Stella! Save me!' But in the very next second, Sebastian, stone-faced as ever, had already scooped Lucas up under his arm. Lucas cried out. He was flailing just like a turtle flipped onto its back, kicking and struggling with all'his might. Big Ben started, "Stel-" But before Big Ben could finish, Sebastian shot it a cold, menacing glare. Big Ben instantly clammed up, even making a zipping motion across its lips.

Big Ben muted itself on the spot! Lucas's eyes brimmed with tears, looking like he was about to cry any second. 'Stella,' Lucas called out in his heart. Suddenly, a piercing alert went off inside Big Ben. The adorable robot's eyes glazed over for a couple of seconds, and it muttered in a robotic monotone, "Data, merging, tampering," Big Ben jerkily tilted its round head, looking totally glitched out, as it had just crashed. "Stella? What's wrong with Big Ben?" Allan frowned, looking confused. Big Ben was totally fine a moment ago!

Stella, hands stuffed in her pockets, headed straight for Big Ben in its frilly maid dress. She gave the back of its head a couple of quick taps, and after some glitchy robot noises, Big Ben snapped right back to its usual self. Stella raised an eyebrow and spoke up. 3/3 Subscribed Editorial Board Editorial Board Our editorial team works behind the scenes to refine each chapter, maintain consistency, and deliver the best reading experience.
