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.

    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

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?

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.

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.

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?"

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 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 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!"
