Chapter 316
She knew deep down that Vincent was definitely not kidding. He seriously considered this question.
Lyana’s heart started racing. She pursed her lips.
– Don’t do it, I…
Before Lyana could finish speaking, Vincent placed her on the living room couch.
Vincent walked over to the water dispenser on the side, filled a mug with hot water, and handed it to Lyana.
– Drink some water to calm down.
Lyana looked up at Vincent, her eyes a little red. She took Vincent’s mug and said softly,
– THANKS.
After drinking hot water, Lyana finally recovered. Everything that had happened at the moment replayed in his mind. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
– I’m sorry. Right now I…
– It’s my fault. I didn’t know you were afraid of the dark,
Vincent interrupted her coldly.
Lyana froze. She had clearly done something wrong tonight, but Vincent had already apologized to her three times.
She was slightly stunned, but she didn’t know how to respond.
She was not afraid of the dark.
No matter how familiar the surroundings were, the darkness had no effect on her.
However, when she was in an unfamiliar environment, the darkness always reminded her of that night five years ago. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get rid of this nightmare. So she was doing unimaginable things out of control.
Only she and Matheo Harris knew.
If Vincent hadn’t brought her here tonight, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.
However, she still didn’t understand. Did she say something wrong?
Why had he left suddenly?
– You feel better ?
Vincent asked softly.
– I’m doing well. Let’s go back. I wonder how Lucas is doing now. Is he better?
Lyana gave a slight smile.
Vincent looked at Lyana while remaining silent.
They both left the villa. Vincent drove the other car home with Lyana.
When they arrived at the main residence of the Sanchez family, it was already past three in the morning. Most people had already entered the house to rest, and there was no one outside.
By the time they reach the second floor, they see Lucas walking out of the house barefoot, dragging a pillow with one hand.
Lyana’s eyebrows arched. She quickly approached and quickly picked Lucas up, casually tossing the pillow into Lucas’ hand at Vincent.
Before he left, servants guarded Lucas’ room. Why had they all disappeared?
Lyana took Lucas in her arms and touched his forehead, then his feet. His forehead was no longer hot, but his feet were still a bit cold.
Lucas noticed Lyana’s small gestures and said nothing. Her little fingers twirled around Lyana’s long hair, and her eyes gradually lit up.
He liked being hugged by Lyana like that. It was very warm and cozy.
Lest they disturb Grandma, Lyana rushes Lucas back to her room and places him on the bed. She says softly:
– Lucas, you still have a cold. You can’t get out of bed like that, especially your feet. You can’t catch a cold. Most of the time, people get sick because their feet catch a cold.
Lucas was sitting on the bed, his head bowed, not speaking. His fingers were still wrapped around Lyana’s hair. He looked like an obedient child.
As for Vincent, who had followed Lyana with a pillow, he was completely stunned. He didn’t expect little Lucas to accept Lyana’s embrace. You should know that he has always been very reluctant to let others touch him.
Vincent put the pillow back on the bed and pulled out his phone to text Thomas.
– Check how many times Lyana and Lucas have met.
After sending the message, Vincent calmly turned off his phone and stood calmly to the side. Lyana brought a basin of water and helped Lucas wash his feet.
Lucas was sitting by the bed, watching Lyana with bright eyes.
Lucas’ gaze was something Vincent had never seen before.
Lyana washed Lucas’ feet very carefully and seriously. She looked up at Lucas and said with a smile:
– Don’t forget to wear shoes in the future.
Lucas nodded obediently.
After helping Lucas dry off his feet, Lyana carried the basin into the bathroom and poured it out. She then washed her hands and came back. Seeing that Lucas was still sitting on the bed, she smiled and said:
– You’re not sleepy ?
Lucas shakes his head.
– You are hungry ?
Lyana asks softly.
Lucas nodded. He even touched his stomach with his right hand, as if to answer Lyana’s question.
Previously, she had given him some food. Later, she and Vincent spent a few hours alone in the mountains. It was normal for Lucas to be hungry now.
– Alright, I’ll go to the kitchen to have a look now. There should be porridge specially prepared for you. When you’ve recovered, I’ll take you out for something delicious, okay?
As she spoke, Lyana helped Lucas back onto the bed and covered him with a blanket. She didn’t forget to tuck him in.
Lyana glanced at Vincent and walked out.
Lucas lay down on the bed and watched Lyana leave. It was only after Lyana left that her gaze landed on Vincent’s face.
Lucas frowns. The joy in his eyes instantly disappeared. He asked, unhappy,
– How did you meet my aunt?
Vincent’s dark eyes were filled with curiosity. He asked with interest,
– Huh?
– She’s my aunt.
Lucas says unhappy.
He seemed to be declaring his sovereignty, but he also seemed unhappy that Vincent knew about it.
However, Lucas’ voice was exceptionally loud, unlike his usual calm. It was as if knowing his aunt was something he was very proud of.
It was the first time Vincent had seen Lucas like that. In the past, Lucas’ expression was indifferent, as if nothing interested him. He didn’t really want to communicate with him.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
What surprised him even more was that Lucas had taken the initiative to contact him because of this case.
Vincent said calmly:
_ Of course I know her. This is my…
Marry.
He almost said the word.
If Lucas knew that Lyana was his stepmother, he might deliberately oppose Lyana due to her rebellious nature. This would gradually distance Lucas from Lyana.
Vincent knew there were very few people Lucas cared about. In her heart, aside from her parents, Lyana was probably the first.
However, just because Lyana was ranked first doesn’t mean she could replace her mother.
Vincent remembered what Lyana had told him before. She had asked him to hide their marriage. She really put herself in Lucas’ shoes.
Lucas stares at Vincent without batting an eyelid, confusion on his face.
– What ?
Vincent withdrew from his thoughts and his gaze fell on Lucas’s face.
– My secretary.
– Huh?
The disappointment on Lucas’ face was evident. At the same time, he realized something.
– Could it be that you met Aunty before me?
Vincent nodded calmly.
– Yes.
Lucas frowned. How could his father monopolize all the good things? He pouted and looked at Vincent indignantly.
His expression was very expressive, which made Vincent a little curious.
Lucas was expressionless, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
-Are you unhappy?
Vincent always liked Lucas when he had a lively expression, because then he looked more like a child.
Lucas pouted and sat up angry.
If it was anything else, he certainly wouldn’t argue with his father.
The only exception was Aunty.
The aunt was clearly his. He had clearly known her before. Why had she become the aunt her father had known first?
hmph.
– It’s useless even if you knew Aunty first. I know Aunty definitely loves me the most. Also, Auntie likes to hug me and wash my feet.
Lucas lifts his head and puffs out his chest as proud as he can.
