A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent hesitated for a moment before asking:Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

– So do you have anything Dad can help you with?

Hearing Vincent’s words, Lucas’ eyes lit up, but they quickly darkened.

His father looked a little stupid. Could he really help her achieve her wish?

Seeing Lucas deep in thought, Vincent asks in a low voice:

– What’s wrong ?

– I want mom to come home.

– Lucas, I already told you that your mom already…

– You don’t have to lie to me anymore. You couldn’t find mom because you’re useless. You can’t tell me mom is dead.

When Lucas heard that Vincent was going to lie to him again, he frowned and said unhappy.

There was a trace of anger in his voice. His father was really too stupid. He was useless.

It seemed he could only rely on himself to find Mom.

When Vincent heard Lucas’ words, he was stunned.

Previously, he had always thought that his son could not speak. Even if he could speak, he would only know a few simple words. He hadn’t expected him to be able to speak for so long at a time.

Vincent’s heart sinks, but he’s also a bit happy. He reached out to hug Lucas, but Lucas slipped aside. His hand awkwardly stopped mid-flight.

Vincent silently retracts his hand. He looked at Lucas seriously and asked:

– Who told you that your mom is still alive?

Lucas lowered his head. He remembered what he had heard Vincent and Thomas say that night. Pursing his lips, he said:

– When you changed my nanny that day, I overheard you talking to Uncle Thomas.

When Vincent heard the word “nanny”, he instantly felt sad.

Vincent looked at Lucas with a pang in his heart and said:

– Did you hear everything we said that night?

– Hmm.

Lucas nodded. He seemed to remember something. Frowning, he continued:

– Dad, although I’m mentally retarded in your eyes, I’m not deaf. I can still hear what you say.

When Vincent heard the word mentally retarded, his expression changed slightly. He said coldly:

– Who told you you were mentally retarded?

– If I’m not mentally retarded, why have you found so many doctors to treat me?

Lucas asked calmly.

When Vincent heard Lucas’ question, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. He asked :

– When did I find a doctor for you?

Lucas looked at Vincent calmly and said nothing.

Vincent felt a little strange under Lucas’ gaze. He frowned slightly. In his memory, he had seen a psychiatrist come out of Lucas’ room and tell him about Lucas’ condition.

At that time, he had thought that Thomas had taken the initiative to invite a doctor to treat Lucas.

– So Dad likes to lie too,” Lucas said calmly. He remembered the past and his face instantly paled.

– I…

– Anyway, it’s not the first time Dad has lied.

Lucas looked down and said in a low voice:

‘Before, you told me Mom was already dead. In reality, you just couldn’t find it.

Vincent really didn’t know how to respond to Lucas.

– Daddy just wants to protect you and take care of you,” Vincent said weakly. He had no recollection of what Lucas had said, but he didn’t seem to be lying.

– Dad, you don’t have to lie to me anymore. I know you’re the one who hates me the most.

Lucas’ face was pale. Her lips were parted slightly, and the light in her eyes was gradually fading.

– How is it possible ? I…

But before Vincent could finish speaking, Lucas sat up and looked at him without blinking. He was so upset that his eyes turned red.

– You clearly said that you prefer girls! You don’t love me at all.

Vincent was amazed. It was the first time he had seen Lucas in tears. He seemed to have suffered a lot.

Vincent struggles to remember what happened. He was sure he had never said such horrible words to Lucas.

What intrigued Vincent was that he had clearly never found a psychiatrist for Lucas, nor had he said so many nasty words. Why did Lucas continue to misunderstand him?
