After closing Lucas's bedroom door properly, Adelia returned to the dining room.

As she approached the dining room, Adelia heard her mother advising Miranda, but it was not a pleasant advice to hear.

"You are so stupid! Why did you approach Lucas that way? Don't use that kind of method if you want to win Lucas's heart. You need to be more patient to win his heart. Don't force yourself, and then you get caught like that!" Lisbet scolded Miranda.

"I'm sorry, Aunt. I've tried to do what you suggested, but Lucas is too cold to me. It's very difficult to please him!" Miranda said sadly.

"That's why you need to be a little more patient. Why are you being so forceful? Act more gracefully, don't be too aggressive. I want him to leave that woman who is of unknown origin soon!" Lisbet said sarcastically.

"What you said is true. That woman must have said something to make Lucas believe her. What if we investigate about that girl? Didn't you see that she was too young to give birth to a son, and

He was truly sulking because his father had broken his promise."Come on, eat it, honey!" Julia said, pushing Harry’s breakfast towards him.Harry’s lips were pouting, he didn’t want to touch his breakfast because he was upset."Daddy is mean, Daddy broke his promise. I’m upset with Daddy!"

    The sound of Lucas's fist hitting the wall was so loud that it made their mother come running in panic."What's going on, what happened?" Lisbet yelled, half running from the back room to the living room.She saw Lucas and Adelia standing in the living room, seemingly talking about the problem from last night."What's wrong with you, Lucas?" she asked again, approaching her two children."Mom, don't act concerned. This is all because of your attitude!" Adelia scolded her mother."Why am I being blamed? What did I do wrong?" Lisbet asked, confused."Next time, Mom, don't invite Miranda to come to our house anymore!" Adelia said, still angry at her mother."Oh, you can't do that. She's Mom's niece. It doesn't matter when she comes. How can Mom kick her out!" Lisbet said, not wanting to listen to her daughter's words."That’s it. I’m leaving now. I won’t come back if there’s no important problem. My son will go to playgroup today. I’ll be busy, I don’t have time to deal with your problem

Lucas called out, opening the door and rushing in."Mr. Lucas!" Tina was startled to see Lucas enter their office. She immediately got up from her seat."Where is my wife?" Lucas asked, looking around the room."Isn't she with you? Since the last time she came to this restaurant, Julia hasn't been here again!" Tina replied, looking at Lucas in confusion."This morning, she left to register my son at his new school, so I thought that my wife, after finishing taking our son, would stop by here!" Lucas said."Julia must be waiting for Harry at his new school because it's the first day of school, he has to be accompanied by his parents for a while, because it's still a new

Let's just have pizza at home, okay?” said Julia, smiling at her son."Okay Mom!" Harry nodded in agreement.He’s such a smart and understanding child.Julia waved her hand to the fast food restaurant waiter, who happened to be standing not far from them.After the waiter approached them, Julia politely asked if the remaining pizza could be packed for them to take home.The waiter did what Julia wanted.“Thank you!” Julia replied politely to the waiter who had packed the leftover pizza.“You’re welcome Ma’am!” the waiter answered politely, bowing slightly.Julia then quickly took Harry out of the fast food restaurant.The last conversation Julia heard as they left their seats, the woman Julia knew as Lucas’s cousin said that Lucas’s attitude had started to warm up to her."Such long patience has finally paid off, L

    Julia spent fifteen minutes in her room, she had finished cleaning up and getting dressed.She heard a knock on the door.Knock! Knock! Knock!Julia quickly walked to her room door, she guessed it must be Harry looking for her.Julia opened the room door, and Lucas was standing in front of her room door."Where’s Harry?" asked Julia, looking around Lucas, there was no sign of her son."Harry is eating pizza with Lita and Mer in the dining room!" answered Lucas."Oh, I’ll go down and keep him company too!" said Julia, then walked past Lucas."Wait, I want to apologize, about last night, I...""Ah, yes! I just remembered, we need to talk, I also want to tell you something!" said Julia, just remembering that she wanted to talk to Lucas.Lucas sensed that Julia seemed very serious, and it could be seen from Julia’s body language that the girl felt uncomfortable being too close to him.Julia closed her room door, then walked away."Where are you going?" Lucas asked, quickly catching Julia’

    Julia and Lucas stared at each other.One felt that the one she was looking at was pretending to be innocent, while the other didn't understand what the girl had just said."What do you mean, Julia? I don't understand!" Lucas’s eyes looked intently into Julia’s eyes."What do I mean? Don't pretend you don't understand, didn't you just say that you had dinner with your family and your cousin?" Julia said, looking intently into Lucas’s eyes.Lucas fell silent when Julia clarified her words, it was true that he had dinner with his parents and cousin.Seeing Lucas speechless after hearing what she said, Julia finally believed what she heard at the fast food restaurant earlier, it was true.That Lucas and his family had discussed the issue of Lucas’s relationship with the man’s cousin."I’ll take care of the documents in a week, this afternoon we’ll pack, and leave soon!" said Julia calmly."What are you saying? What documents do you mean? And move, I don’t understand what you’re talking a

    "What do you mean? What incident?" Julia asked, wondering, looking at Lucas's face confused.Julia's eyes unintentionally saw the red mark on Lucas's hand as he was about to move his hair that covered part of his face."Why is this?" Julia asked, grabbing Lucas's hand, who was about to tuck his hair behind his ear.Julia's strong caring side couldn't bear to see someone injured because she knew how painful it was to get hurt.She had experienced being hurt and experienced not being cared for when she was hurt.Still fresh in Julia's memory, she was pushed by her cousin and got hurt on her head.So much blood came out, but her aunt was indifferent to Julia who was injured, letting Julia endure the pain, until Julia fainted from losing too much blood.Julia's feelings were so painful, her aunt didn't care about her, it was truly very painful.Her aunt was the only family she could rely on, but the woman didn't have a shred of love for Julia."Why are you hurt?"

    Lucas continued to hold Julia tightly until her sobs subsided.Lucas's hand gently continued to pat Julia's back, and his other hand continued to stroke her hair.For a while, they were silent, only the sound of Julia's fading sobs could be heard softly.Julia released his embrace and then sat upright on Lucas's lap.Lucas put his arms around Julia's waist, it seemed the man was reluctant to let her go from his lap."So, what really happened, why didn't you come home after dinner with your family, and it turned out your business wasn't office business, Harry was thinking negatively about you!" said Julia, looking intently into Lucas's eyes."I'm sorry, I didn't say that it was actually Mama who called me, because I was upset with Mama!" Lucas said with a regretful tone.Julia looked at Lucas even more intently, she couldn't guess what was on Lucas's mind, why the man who was already her husband didn't tell her where he actually went last night."A..I, I'm sorry!"

Mom!" he shouted, running excitedly.Lucas crouched down, spreading his arms wide, welcoming his son who was running toward them.

    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 called again.Julia still didn't respond to Lucas's call, and it made Lucas unbearable anymo

    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!"
