Unsurprisingly, Flynn Taylor had already learned about Lucas from Ave Carlisle. When he found out Lucas was a beauty, he experienced what being utterly shocked felt like for the first time.
But no matter how much of a beauty Lucas was, even if she was a beauty that had sworn sisterhood with his wife, she was still a beauty dressed in a man's suit. So, no matter how he looked at it, he just couldn't take to Lucas.
Lucas, completely ignoring Flynn Taylor's gloomy gaze, continued to chat with Ave Carlisle with a beaming smile, enthusiastically introduced himself to Mrs. Carlisle, Alicia Carlisle, and lavishly praised Alicia's beauty and generosity, even asking Alicia if she fancied him.
Mrs. Carlisle didn't know Lucas, but seeing him so familiar with her eldest daughter, she thought this handsome man must be decent, and even wondered if his directness meant he had fallen for her younger daughter at first sight?
