Chapter 41 Don't Be Delusional

Lucas and Scarlett bickered lovingly throughout dinner, presenting a wholesome sight for the other restaurant patrons. The child was adorable, and the mother was young and stunning. Unfortunately, the happy family dynamic was missing a father figure.The other patrons were all envious of Scarlett and Lucas. Who said that children who grew up in a single-parent family would be unhappy? Just look at how happy this child was! Scarlett and Lucas could feel the unabashed gaze of the other customers on them, and they exchanged a knowing look. The patrons of this restaurant were terrifying. They didn't even try to hide that they were blatantly staring at the duo.Monica, who had just finished dinner with a client, came out from the restaurant's private room with an older, middle-aged man. Monica was holding the older man's hand with a coquettish expression and even giggled at intervals. It was so cringy that onlookers got goosebumps watching Monica. Scarlett spotted Monica leaving the roo

Chapter 42 Slandering Lucas

No one talked about her son like that. Scarlett's expression was frosty as she said, "You should watch your words if you don't have proof. What you're doing now is considered slander, but if you continue, I can sue you for defamation, and literally anyone in this restaurant can be my witness. You know, Miss Winters, I actually pity you. You love Jonathan so much, but he's always looking for other women."Monica knew that Scarlett wasn't just saying that to scare her. Scarlett was a lawyer who made her living off advocating for justice, while Monica was just a model who made her living off walking on runways and currying favor with corporate bosses. She knew she could not win Scarlett in an argument, but that didn't mean she wasn't upset."Don't get too cocky. Just wait! You won't always win!" Monica could only spit out this last sentence bitterly."Miss Winters, don't be mistaken. I call you by your last name not out of respect but because I cannot stand to even say your name. What

Chapter 43 Uncle Dylan Is Staying Over

The funniest part was that as she said all of that, Scarlett had stared at her rice and had not explicitly named anyone, so they technically couldn't blame her for defamation. Insisting that Scarlett defamed them would be admitting that Monica was the bitch she was talking about. Regardless, they were at a loss."I just wanted you to have a nice dinner. Who would've thought that you would need to witness this mess as well?" Scarlett said as she stared at Lucas forlornly.She kept on pretending that Jonathan and Monica didn't exist and resumed her meal after refilling Lucas' glass of water.At that moment, Scarlett's phone rang, and Dylan's name appeared on her phone screen."Dylan, did you just get off work?" Scarlett's tone was sweet as she picked up her phone.Jonathan was getting angrier by the minute and had the overwhelming urge to throttle her. First, she pretended he didn't exist, and now she was talking so sweetly to another man!Scarlett ignored Jonathan, who was clearly

Chapter 44 A Soft Spot for Children

That was an appropriate reaction for a six-year-old child, but Scarlett knew that Lucas was actually mocking Jonathan.He was deliberately doing this to cause trouble, but she decided that this was none of her concern and stayed silent.She had had enough of Jonathan's threats, and she believed that Lucas' silver tongue, which could rival hers, was the key to defeating Jonathan. So, she just continued her meal without a care in the world.Monica, who had witnessed Jonathan's violent reaction to Scarlett inviting another man over, was filled with even more hatred for Scarlett.Just a few days ago, she and Jonathan were going to make up. However, ever since Scarlett's son suddenly appeared, claiming that Jonathan was his father, Jonathan never contacted her again. Despite her incessant calling, he never picked up, and on the rare occasion that he did pick up, his tone would be cold as ice. It was her birthday today, and she had begged him to spend it with her, and he had reluctantl

Chapter 45 Trespassing

"Replacing her was a good thing! I hope she dies from anger." It was apparent that Lucas despised Monica."Why don't you like her?" Scarlett asked, surprised by Lucas' sudden hatred for Monica."Of course I don't like her. She insulted you!" Lucas replied straightforwardly.Hearing this warmed Scarlett's heart. What a thoughtful child!However, she still had another question. "Then why are you picking on Jonathan?" she continued curiously."That's because Mommy doesn't like him. You always come home late because of him, so I don't like him," he replied and silently added, "Let's not forget that he was also an absent father for six years."Scarlett was overjoyed at this revelation. As long as Scarlett did not like someone or if someone had mistreated her, Lucas would automatically hate them as well. Recently, she doubted her decision to bring Lucas into the world the way that she did, but now, she was sure she had made the right choice. As long as she had Lucas, it didn't matter t

Chapter 46 Shamelessly Staying

Scarlett usually never lost her temper in front of Jonathan, but now, she glared at him hostilely, and the message she was trying to convey with her eyes was clear, "Get the fuck out of my house."Yet, Jonathan just drawled shamelessly, "Don't be like that. I'm already in your house, so won't you offer me a drink?"Scarlett was just about to tell him to leave when Lucas chimed in, "Mommy, Grandpa Jonathan looks quite pitiful. Maybe we could offer him a glass of water. My teacher taught me that we have to help people who are in need, especially beggars."Lucas' words were dripping with sarcasm, but Jonathan didn't lose his cool and agreed, "He's right. I'm a person in need."In the end, Scarlett could only reluctantly invite Jonathan into the house. They made their way into the living room, where Lucas and Jonathan engaged in an intense staring match, neither willing to back down. Scarlett's frustration was steadily rising as she watched on, so she said unpleasantly, "Mr. Leonard, p

Chapter 47 Overjoyed

Jonathan glared at Scarlett before saying, "She's right. I'll visit you in a few days, alright? Listen to your mom and go to sleep."Since the adults had instructed him to go to bed, Lucas had no choice but to comply. "Okay, but you have to give me your phone number."Lucas pulled out a phone from his pocket, and Jonathan keyed in his phone number before returning the phone to Lucas."Then, I'll be leaving first," Jonathan informed Scarlett.Scarlett simply nodded, and Lucas forlornly watched as Jonathan walked out of the house."Mommy, can he sleep with me tonight?" Lucas pleaded.She was flabbergasted and guessed that Lucas probably found out the truth about Jonathan. Why else would he ask to sleep with a random man he just met? She was torn. On the one hand, she wanted Lucas to be happy, but on the other hand, Dylan would be coming over early in the morning tomorrow.Though she wasn't dating Dylan, he would be devastated if he found out that she let another man stay over, and

Chapter 48 Overstepping Boundaries

Thanks to Lucas' persuasion, Jonathan finally agreed. He never liked sleeping next to children, but he was surprisingly excited and happy to sleep next to Lucas.After the phone call, he immediately did a sharp U-turn and took only five minutes to complete a ten-minute journey."Let's go. Lucas is waiting for you." Scarlett couldn't stand the sexual tension between her and Jonathan and shut the doors before walking toward the living room.Jonathan only smiled as he watched her petite silhouette leave and followed her into the house.Lucas, who had been lounging lazily on the couch, launched himself at Jonathan immediately once he saw him. Jonathan caught him easily and carried him in his arms in bemusement. This was his first time carrying a child. Thank goodness that Lucas was already six years old—if he were a one-year-old, Jonathan definitely wouldn't know what to do."Lucas, go to sleep." Watching Lucas' joyous expression and the duo's intimate attitude toward each other, she

Chapter 49 Never Met My Dad

Lucas was silent for a while before saying, "That's alright. I've never met my dad. It has always just been me and my mom. I did ask my mom who my dad was before, but she would always cry after that, so I stopped asking. My mom loves me the most in this world, so I don't want her to cry or be sad. Mommy is also really good to me! The first few years we were in Amerstica, we weren't doing good at all, but she would rather suffer than see me suffer."Lucas continued, "She still works even when she's sick just because she wants to earn money to raise me in a good environment. So, I don't talk about my daddy, and I won't let anyone bully her or make her cry either."Jonathan listened to Lucas attentively and felt a twinge of pain in his chest. He didn't know that Scarlett and Lucas had such a tough life before moving back to Catheden and that she had to endure it all alone. He thought she had been living well for the past six years, but it seemed he was wrong. Inexplicably, he found hims

Chapter 50 I Like Him if Mommy Does

Listening to Scarlett and Dylan's lively chatting bothered Jonathan more than he would admit. Scarlett was never this happy when she talked to him. "What's your mom's relationship with Dylan?" he asked Lucas, whose body was still intertwined with his.Lucas, who was still quite drowsy from sleep, answered seriously, "I don't know. They met in Amerstica."Lucas paused before continuing, "Uncle Dylan seems to have a crush on Mommy, and Mommy seems to like Uncle Dylan too. So, I guess he will be my future daddy."Future daddy! Jonathan fumed at this thought."Do you like him?" Jonathan asked with thinly veiled jealousy.Lucas was much more honest in the morning as his brain was yet to be calculative, so he said earnestly, "He's alright. As long as mommy likes him, so do I. Anyone mommy wants to be with will automatically be my new daddy."Lucas always put his mom first and could accept people he didn't like as long as his mom did. However, Lucas wasn't a fool either—he knew that D
