A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lucas lovingly. When he came running, she squatted down quietly.

Lucas looked exactly like Vincent when he was young.

“Lucas, what’s wrong?”

He held out the box in his hand to Matriarch Sanchez.

A trace of surprise shone in the eyes of the old woman. She took the box from Lucas and realized that he had given her a pair of glasses.

When she opened the box, there was a pair of glasses inside.

“Great-grandmother, your glasses,” Lucas said seriously, looking at Matriarch Sanchez.

She looked at Lucas in disbelief. She hadn’t expected him to give her a gift and was a bit flattered.

She took the glasses out of the case and inadvertently touched the lenses. It was only then that she realized that these glasses were different from the previous ones.

It was to be a new product from the eyewear company.

When Matriarch Sanchez put on her glasses, she realized that everything around her had become clearer. Her gaze fell on Lucas’s face.

She could clearly see the distinct eyebrows on Lucas’ face.

A trace of surprise shone in Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes.

She was aging and her eyesight was weak.

She also had reading glasses, but the effect of those glasses wasn’t as clear as the ones Lucas had given her.

She smiled at Lucas and asked him:

“Lucas, where did you buy these glasses?”

When Lucas heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, he said seriously,

– Great-grandmother, I made these glasses myself.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Lucas’ words, a trace of surprise crossed her eyes.

It was only then that she noticed that the frame of this pair of glasses was made of bamboo, the same material as the bamboo dragonfly in Lucas’ hand.

She touched the glasses in her hand. She was very curious to know who Lucas’ mother was. She had truly given birth to such a smart son!

Matriarch Sanchez crouches slowly. She looked at Lucas and said softly:

“So our Lucas is so smart and capable.

A trace of a smile shone in Lucas’s eyes, but his little face was still tense. He says seriously:

– Great-grandmother, I’ll go play first.

With that, he turned to leave.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lucas’ little face and felt a little sad.

Although he was a child of the Sanchez family, for his safety and because Lucas’ origins were not legitimate, they could only raise him outside.

She took Lucas’s hand and asked him seriously:

“Lucas, do you love your Aunt Lyana?”

When Lucas heard his grandmother’s question, he blinked his big dark grape eyes and nodded without hesitation.

He was very fond of Auntie Lyana. If only he could be with her forever. He wondered if his father would be with Auntie Lyana.

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lucas’ expression and couldn’t help but smile. Then she asked seriously:

“So do you want to be with Auntie Lyana forever?”

Lucas quickly nodded.

Seeing Lucas in this state, Matriarch Sanchez smiled and said:

“So, are you ready to let Aunty Lyana be your mother?”

Lucas lowered his eyes slightly. After a while he asked:

– Great-grandmother, can I have two mothers?

Matriarch Sanchez looked at Lucas in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Lucas says seriously:

“If Aunt Lyana becomes my mother, what about my biological mother?” She’s also my mother, isn’t she? In other words, I have to have two mothers at the same time?

– It’s true. Our Lucas is right. If Aunt Lyana becomes your mother, you will have two mothers.

Matriarch Sanchez smiled at Lucas. She finally understood that Lucas was still young and didn’t understand what she meant.

She held Lucas’ hand. She didn’t want to lie to him and explained to him:

“Your biological mother was your first mother. Even if she comes back, she’s still your mother. You are also his dearest child. However, if Aunt Lyana is your mother, it means she wants to marry your father.

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly, looking thoughtful.

Matriarch Sanchez continued:

“If your biological mother comes back, she just won’t be your father’s wife. It doesn’t affect the fact that you are his child.

When Lucas heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, he nodded seriously and said,

“Yes, I want Aunt Lyana to be my mother.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Lucas’ words, her lips curled involuntarily. She nodded her head gently.

“What a good kid.

Lucas looked seriously at Matriarch Sanchez and asked curiously:

“Great-grandmother, is Aunt Lyana ready to let me be her son?”

Hearing this, Matriarch Sanchez couldn’t help but feel heartbroken for Lucas. She looked at him as if she were looking at Vincent many years ago.

She clearly remembers that at that time he was like a medicine jar. The purpose of his life was to provide medicine for his brother.

She had taken care of Vincent. Once he asked her carefully,

“Grandma, don’t mom and dad love Vicki?”

At that time, before she could answer, he was taken away by his mother for a blood test.

Matriarch Sanchez’s eyes couldn’t help but tear up. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, then smiled at Lucas and said softly:

“Lucas is so smart and adorable. Everyone loves Lucas. Your aunt Lyana is also ready to be your mother. However, leave that question to the great-grandmother. I will definitely give you a satisfying answer.

When Lucas heard Matriarch Sanchez’s words, his eyes lit up.

He would have a mother in the future!

He had a father and a mother like all the other children in kindergarten.

“Thank you, great-grandmother.

Lucas’ eyes sparkled like stars in the dark, and it was impossible to look away.

Matriarch Sanchez patted Lucas on the head and told him to go play.

He runs away with the bamboo dragonfly in his hand.

Seeing that Lucas had walked away, the smile on Matriarch Sanchez’s face slowly faded. She walked into her room, picked up her phone, and called the butler.

– Madam.

– Call the second young master.

With that, she hung up.

At that moment, the butler realized that Matriarch Sanchez’s attitude was a little bad. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he went to fetch the Second Young Master obediently anyway.

Matriarch Sanchez sat down on the rattan chair. She picked up the calendar on the table beside her and slowly leafed through it.

She wanted to find an auspicious day for Lucas to recognize his ancestors.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

This affair had already caused harm to Lucas and Lyana. She thought Vincent shouldn’t go on like this. He should tell Lyana the truth instead.

She looked at the calendar in her hand. Lyana’s face popped into her mind and she couldn’t help but sigh again.

Lyana was a good child. If she knew that Lucas was born to Vincent and another woman, she wondered if she would be angry.

What if Lyana got angry?

According to Lyana’s personality, it was very likely that she would leave directly.

At this moment, Matriarch Sanchez seemed to be at a crossroads. She was in a dilemma, not knowing where to go.

She wanted to clear Lucas’ name and let him recognize his ancestry so he wouldn’t feel in danger.

She still wanted Lyana to be Lucas’ mother, but she was worried that Lyana would be sad when she found out.

Matriarch Sanchez’s frown deepened. She didn’t know what to do either.

While she was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.

She came out of her thoughts and said to the door

– Come in.

Vincent pushed open the door and entered. He greeted,

– Grandmother.

Then he closed the door.

When Matriarch Sanchez saw Vincent, her expression darkened instantly. She said angrily,

– I have something to tell you.

Vincent looked at Matriarch Sanchez in confusion. He noticed that she was very angry and was a little surprised. As he was about to speak, he noticed Matriarch Sanchez had a new pair of glasses on her nose.

– Grandmother, the doctor asked you not to get angry.

As he spoke, he approached her and sat down.

– Grandmother changed her glasses.

When Matriarch Sanchez heard Vincent’s words, the anger on her face dissipated a bit. She happily boasted:

“Isn’t this pair of glasses beautiful?”

Vincent nodded.

“Lucas gave it to me. He did it himself. Matriarch Sanchez said proudly.
