LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 195: Don't Frown
The male lead narrowed his eyes at Tyler's behavior, but he didn't say anything. But for some reason, he felt an ominous emotion rising in his heart. For some reason, he felt that this expression on Tyler's face was extremely familiar, and he didn't want to face that kind of expression ever again!
So he simply opened his mouth and said, "Don't frown. Otherwise, you will get old."
Tyler was stunned. He remembered that his senior had said something like that earlier to him. Was it in the cultivation world? He didn't remember it anymore, but he felt a lump rising in his throat. He pursed his lips and said, "I'll never get old."
For some reason, Lucas felt nostalgic.

On the other side, the crown prince Ian and Josh were facing each other in the living room of the crown prince's villa. The latter was timidly trying to hide his body somewhere so that he could be saved, but that person's cold gaze made him so afraid that he couldn't move.
If he knew becoming engaged to the crown prince of the kingdom would end up making his life so terrible, he wouldn't have agreed to Victor's words! And now, not just one, but two people were trying to blackmail him into doing things for them! One was Victor, and another was this shameless prince!
Yes, even this prince found out about his shady past, and as soon as that happened, his already miserable life became even worse. First, he was forcefully marked, and then his so-called future husband even blackmailed him! Wasn't this man worried that he would break off the engagement?
The crown prince could tell what this omega was thinking, and he chuckled. After grabbing the man's collar, he smirked. "You try running away. I dare you."
Josh didn't dare even to breathe. He pursed his lips and closed his eyes. Then he felt someone pecking his lips softly before another chuckle followed. "Good boy. Just keep it up, and I might like you someday."
Ordinary people who didn't know this shady side of the crown prince would fall flat on the ground and roll around in happiness. But Josh was anything but normal. He had already known what kind of weird person this crown prince was, and he didn't want to associate with him in any way! But what else could he do? This person forced himself unto Josh.
Not just that, Ian didn't even let Josh mark him in the end! That showed that the prince wasn't willing to acknowledge him as his partner.
Of course, if Ian had accepted him, Josh would have agreed and compromised to be his legal partner despite being forced into such a situation. After all, Ian Cohen was also known for his looks, and Josh liked to associate with the beauties. But who would have thought that hiding behind that handsome face, there was a dark demon lord who was willing to devor anyone alive just for self-satisfaction?
He really didn't want this kind of husband!
So when the omega heard those words, a shiver sent down his spine. He took a step back as his lower lips quivered. "What do you want me to do?"
He finally compromised. What else could he do? At least he could become an ideal wife after the crown prince achieved his dreams.
Even though he still loved Lucas in his heart, it was too late for Josh. The latter was already marked by someone else. So wasn't it better to accept the reality? But even so, if he could take revenge against Victor, who was the sole reason he was in such a situation, it would be a blessing!
Dark flashes emerged in his eyes at that.
The crown prince saw the change in Josh's eyes, and a spark of determination appeared. His lips curved up at that. If this little omega continued to follow him, he might end up giving this guy the position of the crown princess!
So he opened his mouth and said, "Spy on Victor. Make sure to pretend that you're listening to him and gather all the information on him. Or better yet…" He paused and went to the study room, coming back after a few minutes. Then he attached an earring to Josh's ears. "Keep this camera on at all times!"
Josh pursed his lips and nodded. If this method could help him take revenge against that sly man, he would do anything Ian told him!
And just like that, a few days passed, and Josh still couldn't find anything until one day he walked into Lucas's house only to hear from the housekeeper that both of them had gone out. Josh frowned at that, and he reached the address that the housekeeper gave him.
It was the address of the bar where Tyler was the singer.
The latter didn't wear a mask this time. He had only decided to wear it because of the male lead. Since he had already finished his task for this world, he didn't want to hide anymore. So he openly removed his mask and started singing on the piano.
When the crowd saw his angelic face, they became even more excited. But some of them also expressed their sadness, saying that they had smelt the scent of alpha on this person. So Tyler was likely to be taken.
At this time, Josh walked in and heard those groups of alphas talking to each other about how Tyler was the most beautiful and gentle omega they had ever seen. He was surprised, and just as he glanced at the stage, he was dumbstruck in shock. It even felt as if lightning fell at the top of his head.
Wasn't this Victor?! What was this person doing here, singing for a bunch of alphas in a bar?!
Josh had known that this particular bar was famous for people wanting to spend one-night stands with the popular staff here, and he had gotten laid many times with powerful alphas here. That bartender was a perfect example.
So didn't that mean if Victor was here with another identity, this person was also here and probably had shared the bed with someone else?! Then wasn't Victor cheating on Lucas?
Josh's heart boiled in anger at that. He quickly used his smartwatch to snap a few pics and sneaked out. While doing this, he didn't focus on the barstool. Lucas was also sitting leisurely, watching Josh's every move with squinted eyes.
