"It's nothing," Sean assured Dicky. "I'm fine on my own. Just don't go anywhere.”"Okay."Sean strode past Lucas as he headed towards Cordy, while Lucas headed towards Dicky."You like these?" Lucas asked Dicky.Dicky turned, and was startled when he saw Lucas.The next second, he was delighted and quickly asked, "Dad—I mean, Lucas, did you come to see us?""No. Sorry to disappoint you." Lucas never allowed anyone to fantasize."What are you doing here, then?" "Just came to visit.""You like this stuff?""More or less," Lucas said begrudgingly.More or less? Dicky doubted that—adults wouldn’t just 'visit' a place like this.But it was fine, since his daddy was such a coward. He should be considerate to his daddy's dignity and not expose him. "By the way, did you do the paternity test?" Lucas asked casually. It wasn’t as if he cared, but he had the right to know since he was someone involved."Oh.""And?""There was an issue with the sample," Dicky explained quickl

Unable to stand the sight, Cordy strode out of the planetarium to wait.It was a huge science center, and each section had many stalls for snacks and merchandise.Cordy soon grew bored from waiting, and headed outside a stall to pick a cone ice-cream.But while she waited, she was left breathing a deep sigh as she realized there was no shaking off certain people."I want some ice-cream.""No, you just had it last night. Your stomach would suffer if you had more," Lucas said sternly. "I hate you!""Be nice, and I'll take you to the amusement park later." Lucas was coaxing his girlfriend as if she was a child. One must admit that Lucas treated his girlfriend well, even if he was harsh towards everyone else.It was clear how protective Lucas was of her, too.Just as Cordy was about to leave with her ice-cream, the girl stopped her again. "Excuse me, pretty lady!"Cordy wanted to tell her that they had only met by chance, which made them strangers; and strangers didn’t have to

"Grandfather…"Cordy walked over to Jesse's side and sat down, and said affectionately, "He can be a little studious, so it'd be difficult if you kept him away from school."Next to her, Dicky nodded repeatedly.That was when Linus, Jesse's grandson, sighed feebly beside them. "So Dicky's the neighbor's kid…as one would put it."Linus was just a year younger than Sean, but his child Silas was already eleven and the eldest amongst his generation.He had been sitting primly with everyone in the living room, appearing very refined and disciplined.Of course, he could be doing that only to present himself as a prim and proper child. "Silas is amazing too. I heard he won first place at the national arithmetic competition," Cordy strategically praised in turn, eager to not make enemies for Dicky.The air in the room became amicable—Silas was still a child despite being so mature, and he naturally smiled at the flattery. -It was the fourth day Cordy and Dicky were spending at Cra

Thanks to Nana, the mood between the two families was good.Jesse turned towards Lucas just then. "Is this your boyfriend, Nana?"Lucas nodded respectfully. "Hello, Mr. Cranston. I'm Lucas Lynch.""What a fine young man you are!" Jesse said as he studied Lucas. "But why do you look so familiar?""Don't you think he resembles your great-grandson, sir?" Nana pointed out, turning towards Dicky.Jesse realized with a start, and exclaimed, "Why yes, they do!""It's just a strange coincidence," Lucas said humbly."Sean, is that your granddaughter?" Jean asked when she saw Cordy. "Oh, yes. She's been working at North City, so she doesn't come by often. Cordy? This is my sister," Jesse said. He beckoned Cordy to him and introduced them."Hello, Mrs. Lynd," Cordy greeted her politely."Oh, of course I know Cordy. Your career is really taking flight, and I often see you in the news!" Jean started to heap praise on her. "I didn't think you're family, even though I've always been saying

'To be an eyesore to me?' "So…" Lucas began, but was soon silent again.Cordy frowned even harder at that."Mommy," Dicky suddenly said. "Can I go back to my room to play with my tablet?"Cordy was left speechless.Dicky's tact was wasted on them, in her opinion—she definitely didn’t want to be alone with Lucas.But before she could say a word, Dicky slipped away, leaving Cordy gritting her teeth just then.Still, she said, "Just spit it already, Lucas. Don't worry—no one would find out about our grievances, since we're more or less relatives now. I for one won't try to hurt our families' relationship."Lucas was left staring at Cordy.Did she presume he was threatening her to keep her mouth shut again?!Even if she didn’t actually speak much with her before, he knew her well enough to tell that she always kept her promises, and he didn’t have to repeat anything.He inhaled deeply and finally said, "I've misunderstood you.""What?" Cordy was puzzled. "When I implied you

Nonetheless, Lucas composed himself and said, “It's nothing.”Nana didn’t ask any further. They continued their stroll in the back garden, flirting with each other as much as they could.Dicky was standing on the balcony of Cordy's room, watching with a tilted head as his daddy dated another woman.He turned to look at his mommy."What is it?" Cordy asked, sensing his gaze. "Nothing.""Don't dwell on it. I don't care at all since he's not your daddy," Cordy said, reading her son's mind."What if he was? Would you try to get him back?" Lucas blurted.Cordy's heart could stop right then.What if he was…Still, she said bluntly, "No, he's not."There was no chance, so there was no need to waste any time thinking about it.Dicky bit his little lips, suddenly feeling an impulse to perform another paternity test.Even if his mother was right—that they could live well without his daddy, he must find out the truth.That was his principle as a person. Thus, he made up his mind.

Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.Cordy noted her son's odd behavior. Since she wasn't watching when Dicky touched Lucas's head, she didn’t know what exactly he did.She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed—he never acted like that before.Still, they were fortunate that they weren’t seated at the main table, where the elders were. Rules weren’t that strictly enforced on the other tables.On the other hand, Nana watched as Dicky left. She turned to ask Lucas softly, "You really like Dicky, don't you?""Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing."Well, you're really nice to him," Nana said."Aren't I nice to you?""That's different!" Nana shook

Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, "Help! Somebody! Nana's in trouble!"Cordy's heart skipped a beat—what happened to Nana?In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nana's breathless frame in her arms.Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed—she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nana's health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas. She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nana's sudden condition.Lucas cried, "Get an ambulance right now!"
