2024-10-29 19:42:56Julia tried to push away Lucas, who was hugging her.
"Let me go, release me!" she shouted, trying to break free from Lucas's embrace. She didn't want to be in contact with the man again, but they touched once more, greatly angering Julia. With all her might, Julia pushed Lucas's body, and eventually, the tall, sturdy man's body was released, but they didn't move apart from each other. Angry, Julia glared at Lucas. "I don't want you to touch me, I don't like it!" Julia shouted openly with explosive anger. Lucas felt hurt hearing Julia's outburst, not liking his touch. He sighed, remembering how rough he had been when he touched Julia. For Julia, touching a man was unpleasant. He would make amends for all the mistakes he had made; now, he wanted to address something important to Julia. "Fine, I won't touch you without your permission. Now, will you talk to me?" Lucas asked Julia again. "Talk here!" Julia said, turning her face away. Lucas sighed again. "Son, would you like to go and explore our house for a bit?" Lucas asked gently to Harry, ruffling his son's head. "Yes, I do. Take it slow in talking to Mom, don't be too harsh. Mom is too sensitive; she might not forgive you!" Harry advised Lucas. "All right, son. I will listen to what you say!" Lucas responded obediently. "Let him stay here; we'll talk over there!" Julia didn't want Harry to leave the room, pointing her finger to a corner where they could talk. It seemed like that corner could be a place for them to talk without Harry overhearing. "Okay!" Lucas finally relented. He walked to the corner Julia had indicated and stood there, waiting for Julia to come. Now they faced each other, even though Julia tilted her head up to look at Lucas's face. "Come on, speak!" Julia said sternly. "Let's get married!" Lucas said calmly. For a moment, Julia fell silent upon hearing Lucas's words; her eyes widened as she stared at Lucas without blinking. "What did you say?" Julia asked, as if she misheard. "It's for Harry. We have to get married. I have to take responsibility!" Lucas said confidently. Julia was speechless. "I won't touch you without your permission. If you don't like being close to me, we can sleep in separate rooms, and you can do as you please, but never leave again!" Lucas explained, trying to make Julia feel comfortable. He arranged separate rooms for the two of them. He would slowly approach Julia because he knew the trauma she must have from the assault he had committed. Julia still remained silent, not giving any response, her mind suddenly blank. "Let's go and sign the marriage certificate, and from now on, let's live in this house!" Lucas suggested. Julia remained silent, her mind processing everything. "Okay! Harry needs his father. This is all for Harry, this man wants to take responsibility, and he should be held accountable for his actions!" Julia thought, pondering over Lucas's recent words. "After we sign the marriage certificate, I will take you to meet my parents. I will introduce you to them!" Julia remained silent, neither answering nor objecting to Lucas's words. Indeed, they had to get married to ensure Harry's future and to prevent him from being seen as illegitimate. Reluctantly, Julia followed Lucas to register their marriage at the civil registry office. Just as she had returned to her hometown, Julia had become Lucas's wife. And now, she was under the same roof as him.Related chapters

Julia hugged Harry tightly, feeling uncomfortable as several pairs of eyes stared at the two of them without blinking.Some of those eyes looked at Julia and Harry with surprise.Here they were, brought by Lucas, to a fairly large Mansion, the luxurious home of the Lucas family.The dining room fell silent momentarily as Lucas introduced Julia and Harry.Lucas wrapped his arm around Julia's shoulder, who held their son tightly. The man could feel Julia's body tense as she observed the stares of Lucas's parents."They are my wife and son!" Lucas reaffirmed his statement."Since when do you have a girlfriend? And is this child really your son?" Mrs. Lucas questioned, looking at Julia from head to toe, not believing what her son had brought into their home.Lucas, who did not want to marry, and did not want to be introduced or set up with any woman, suddenly arrived with a woman and a young child.Naturally, this surprised the entire household, as Lucas seemed to be lying to them."Is sh

Julia felt very awkward being among Lucas's family, feeling stiff and unfamiliar.During dinner, Lucas's family showed no intention of talking to her, only inquiring about who she was and where she lived.They only spoke to Lucas, not even glancing at Julia and Harry.The most dominant presence in the conversation was the beautiful woman that Lucas had previously ignored.The woman seemed very familiar and spoke candidly throughout the dinner.Julia sensed that the woman was well-liked by Lucas's mother and always responded to her conversation with laughter or a joyful smile."Mama, I'm full, I don't want to eat anymore. Let's go home, Ma!" whispered Harry, touching Julia's arm softly so as not to be heard by others.Julia noticed that there was still a lot of Harry's rice left on his plate.It turned out Harry felt just as awkward and uncomfortable with his father's family as Julia did."Yes, Mama is full too!" answered Julia softly, then affectionately rubbed Harry's head."Let's go

A car was already waiting for Julia and Harry outside the Mansion gate.The car door opened as they approached, and a girl of Julia's age stepped out of the car."Aunt Tina!" Harry shouted upon seeing the girl."Oh, my dear nephew!" Tina, Julia's friend, ran to hug Harry.Tina and Harry embraced each other tightly."Nephew, you're getting taller. You'll be starting school soon!" Tina said, patting Harry's head."Yes, when I grow up, I want to help Mama at the restaurant!" Harry said joyfully, then released the hug."You're a smart boy, you love Mama so much, don't you?" Tina said with a smile, standing up straight after Harry let go of their hug."Of course, Mama is the one I love the most. I will protect Mama when I grow up!" Harry said as he walked into the car.Tina then drove the car away from the Mansion Lucas gate."How was your trip today, dear?" Tina asked, glancing at Harry through the rearview mirror."The flight was enjoyable, but we were kidnapped at the airport!" Harry re

The three of them entered the restaurant office, and Julia proceeded to examine the expenses and profits earned on that day.Tina explained the restaurant's bookkeeping to Julia, detailing where the expenses were allocated and how much profit was deposited into the bank.Julia was very satisfied; the profits deposited into the bank were quite substantial.If the restaurant continued to perform well and customers increasingly enjoyed the menu offerings, Julia planned to expand the restaurant further and enhance its decor."It's getting late at night. Let's go home; Harry is tired. He hasn't rested since noon!" Julia said to Tina."Oh, yes, let's go!" Julia hurried to grab the car keys from her desk.Tina drove Julia to her apartment.Having a decent income, Tina was able to purchase an apartment, not too luxurious but spacious with three rooms.After helping Harry freshen up quickly, Julia took him to his room.Lifting Harry onto the bed, she pulled up the blanket to cover him."Rest w

Tina opened the door to her apartment, and there was Lucas standing in front of the door with a worried look.Without saying anything, Lucas entered Tina's apartment without permission.He walked over to Julia, who was sitting on the sofa, looking at her as she quickly walked into Tina's apartment.Julia was taken aback; it turned out Lucas knew Tina's apartment address."Julia, I've been waiting for you both at home for so long. Why didn't you come back to our house?" Lucas asked, his tone angry as he looked at Julia.Lucas stood towering over Julia on the sofa."Weren't you at your parents' house? I have some things to take care of, and besides, we don't know each other well. I still feel strange in your environment!" Julia replied calmly, feeling no guilt.Lucas suddenly realized the truth in Julia's words; indeed, they had just met and didn't know each other well.He sighed, feeling guilty.He remembered that during the meal, his mother showed no interest in finding out who Julia

Lucas carefully carried Harry into the car, followed by Julia."Let's go home!" Lucas said to Edward after ensuring that Julia was seated properly and closing the car door securely.The car slowly drove away from Tina's apartment parking area.Throughout the journey, Lucas and Julia sat in silence, the atmosphere feeling awkward and unfamiliar.Lucas occasionally glanced at Julia, who sat quietly looking out of the car as if lost in thought.Noticing Julia's petite tired body and lackluster expression, Lucas felt that the once innocent girl had transformed into a mature woman who was now hard to reach.Silently, Lucas sighed, determined to make Julia feel comfortable around him.Before long, they arrived at the villa.Edward slowly drove the car towards the villa gate, but two people were seen arguing in front of the gate.Edward shone the car's headlights on the two figures, revealing a woman and one of Lucas's villa security guards."Who is that woman?" Lucas furrowed his brow.Edwa

Lucas warned his villa staff about his cousin Miranda, making it clear that she was not to set foot beyond the villa gate."Do not let her enter the house. If I find out she has entered, I will dismiss all of you!" Lucas asserted firmly."Yes, Sir!" they nodded in unison obediently."Do not feel sorry for her remarks, and do not let her provoke you. Understand?!" Lucas reiterated sternly."Yes, Sir, of course!" they replied in unison again."Remember! Julia is your Lady, and I only recognize Julia as my legitimate wife, no other woman!" Lucas stated firmly and sharply."Yes, Sir!" their voices rang out in unison obediently."Good!" Lucas expressed his satisfaction.Lucas then reached for Julia's hand again, who was still standing quietly next to him.He was still holding Harry, who was sleeping soundly.Still holding Julia's hand, Lucas carried Harry to their son's bedroom.Without intending to ask for help from Julia to open the door, Julia proactively opened Harry's bedroom door.Af

Lucas lowered his face again, and Julia closed her eyes once more. This time, Lucas held Julia's waist to bring her closer, and Julia remained still in Lucas's embrace. Lucas then kissed Julia's lips gently, and slowly deepened the kiss. The sensation of these lips was just like five years ago, very pleasant, and it made Lucas addicted. Julia felt Lucas's kiss becoming deeper and longer; it seemed like this was not just a goodnight kiss. But a kiss that desired more, and Julia realized that her body was being tightly embraced by Lucas. One of Lucas's hands wrapped tightly around her waist, while the other pulled her neck to deepen the kiss. As Lucas's tongue slowly slipped between Julia's lips, she raised her hand and tried to push Lucas's chest. "Stop!" Julia uttered between Lucas's kisses. Lucas stopped his kiss. "Why was that goodnight kiss like that?" Julia asked, just realizing that Lucas was trying to take advantage to kiss her. Lucas's face turned red, feel

Harry was so happy to see his parents come to pick him up. The four-year-old ran toward his parents, who were standing at the school entrance. His face was beaming with happiness."Dad... Mom!" he shouted, running excitedly.Lucas crouched down, spreading his arms wide, welcoming his son who was running toward them. Harry's small body rushed into Lucas's embrace, and he wrapped his small arms around his father's neck."Dad, I'm so happy you came to pick me up!" the little boy said happily."How was school today, son?" Lucas asked, hugging his son tightly."I made a new friend, Dad. They like to be friends with me!" Harry said, telling him about his new friend."Harry! Harry! Wait!" A voice called out Harry's name loudly. A woman appeared, holding a water bottle in her hand."Thank goodness, you haven't left yet. You forgot your water bottle!" the woman said, handing Harry his water bottle."Huh!" Harry looked at the water bottle in the woman's hand in bewilderment. He felt like he had

In the car on the way to Harry's school, Julia sat silently, lost in thought. She was replaying her mother-in-law's yelling in her mind. Her thoughts were gloomy, caught in the dilemma of her marriage.An ordinary girl with no parents and no education to brag about. It was all true, what her mother-in-law had said. A poor girl who was always abused and oppressed by her aunt and cousin.She had met a super-rich CEO by chance, due to an unexpected mistake. And she had never tried to charm the man, because it was impossible for a girl like her, a lower-class girl who wasn't worthy of a glance. But unexpectedly, the rich man was captivated by her. And without realizing it, her feelings began to grow for him slowly.They ended up falling in love. And now, should she leave the love she had found?

Lisbeth was startled when someone grabbed her hand. When she saw who was holding her hand, the old woman was even more shocked."Lu... Lucas!" she muttered, her eyes wide."So this is why Mom wanted to meet my wife?" Lucas said, his face filled with anger, his gaze sharp as he looked at his mother."No... no, it's not like that. She was disrespectful to me, so I wanted to teach her a lesson, to make her know who she really is," Lisbeth said defensively.Lucas released his mother's hand, which was about to slap Julia's face."Mom, you're becoming shameless. Didn't you provoke Julia, making her talk to you like that? I heard everything you said to her!" Lucas said."I... I..." Lisbeth couldn't defend herself anymore."What is this? Mom, you value my self-worth at five billion so my wife will leave me?!" Lucas said, his voice getting sharper. He grabbed the thick envelope from the table and showed it to his mother's face.Lisbeth's face turned pale as she saw the envelope Lucas was holdi

Julia stared at the thick envelope in front of her, her gaze distant. The envelope looked so thick and solid. Five billion. Inside the envelope, her mother-in-law had neatly arranged five billion. Had she gone to the bank first before meeting me?Julia's mind raced, thinking about her mother-in-law, who had clearly planned to get rid of her from Lucas's life.Julia's eyes locked on her mother-in-law's, unblinking. Her hands were clenched tightly."What do you mean, Mom? I don't understand!" Julia said."Don't call me Mom. I'm not your Mom! Can't you hear what I said? Leave Lucas. He's my precious son. He's not worthy of you!" Lisbeth said, her voice rising.Julia swallowed hard. Her heart ached. Her mother-in-law hated her so much."I won't leave Lucas. I love him. He's the father of my son. We have to be together," Julia said after calming herself for a moment.Lisbeth's face immediately showed displeasure. Her sharp gaze pierced Julia."He's my son. I have the right to him because I

Lucas took Julia to the car showroom and let her choose the car she wanted. Julia, who was clueless about cars, didn't know what kind of model would be suitable for a woman.She saw a red car, and its color and design looked elegant and luxurious."What about that one? I like the color and shape!" Julia said, pointing to the car she wanted."Oh, a Toyota GR Supra. You have excellent taste, sweetheart! That's a great car!" Lucas said, smiling broadly. He didn't expect his wife to choose such a classy car."If it's too expensive, I don't want it. Let's get something cheaper," Julia said, following Lucas from behind.They approached the car Julia had pointed out, and Lucas carefully examined it."This is the latest model, sir. It's perfect for your wife. Your wife has excellent taste in cars!" the showroom manager said."Alright, we'll take this one. Please deliver it to this address," Lucas gave the address of the villa.Then they made the purchase.After buying the car for his wife, Lu

The next morning, Julia woke up late. It was unusual for her to oversleep, and she scrambled out of bed in a panic. But a hand pulled her back, drawing her into someone's embrace."Where are you going, sweetheart? Why are you in such a hurry?" Lucas was still in bed with her, still snuggled under the covers.Julia looked at Lucas, who was still closing his eyes, slowly opening them. Lucas's sleepy eyes met Julia's gaze."I have to take Harry to school!" Julia said."Our son already left, sweetheart. I sent the nanny to take him to school. We'll pick him up after school," Lucas said, stroking Julia's cheek."Oh, he's already gone?" Julia put her head back on the pillow.Lucas hugged Julia's waist, resting his chin on top of his wife's head."Sweetheart, we haven't had our wedding reception yet. Tell me when you want to have it," Lucas asked.Julia thought about what Lucas said."When your mom accepts me for who I am," Julia replied."Alright, I'll convince Mom that you're the best daug

Lucas felt Julia was running out of breath, so he released their kiss.The man smiled broadly, seeing his wife's flushed face, and her wet, parted lips."You're so beautiful, darling," Lucas whispered in Julia's ear, "I want to eat you!"Julia's face flushed even more, hearing Lucas's whisper, blushing with embarrassment, she pinched Lucas's arm."Ouch!" Lucas pretended to be in pain from Julia's pinch, which didn't hurt at all.Julia was instantly surprised to hear Lucas's cry of pain, it turned out that her pinch felt so painful."Sorry," Julia muttered, feeling guilty, then stroked Lucas's arm that she had just pinched.Lucas's smile widened, he was so happy, seeing Julia feeling guilty for hurting him."My darling, you're really so innocent!" Lucas said, pulling Julia into his embrace, then kissing his wife's neck.Lucas didn't expect to have a wife who was so adorable, making him love Julia even more."Let's go home, I want to continue our kiss from earlier," Lucas whispered in J

Lucas felt the atmosphere inside the car was so gloomy, he felt very uncomfortable."Darling, I'm sorry!" Lucas said, breaking the silence, he was indeed outrageous for not taking care of Julia's feelings earlier."Forgive me, I was really over the top, I felt so smart and thought you were just talking nonsense, I was stupid, I should have realized that you know more about your cousin than I do!" Lucas said again, regretfully.Julia was silent, she didn't respond to what Lucas said.Julia looked out the car window in silence, calmly observing the street scene.Lucas became increasingly uncomfortable with Julia's silence, he felt more and more uneasy.Lucas glanced at Julia, who was looking out the car window, without any intention of turning towards him.Lucas's long hand reached for Julia's hand that was on his wife's lap.Lucas grasped the small hand, and squeezed it gently."Darling!"

Lucas just learned about Julia always helping her aunt's finances.Edward didn't tell him about this issue, Lucas's feelings were mixed, hearing Julia's words just now."What do you mean, darling, did you work when you lived with them?" Lucas asked curiously."Yes, and it was never enough, until one day the loan shark came to collect their debt!" Julia began to explain."It's because of the high cost of living, so it takes a lot of money, plus you living with us, where did all that come from? So, Mama took the initiative to borrow money from the loan shark, and it turned out the interest was very high, Mama's debt piled up!" Gina said."Nonsense, you're a spendthrift! You always spend money lavishly, until you intend to sell me because you're tempted by the big payment!"
