No one spoke, and there were only slight movements during meals, as was expected of a well-bred family.
Lucas was born into such a family, exuding self-cultivation and stability.
Joanne asked how Lucas was getting along with Anne.
Lucas’s eyes narrowed slightly behind the glasses, and he seemed uncomfortable with his parents discussing this topic at the dinner table.
However, he still respected them, saying, “Very good.”
Joanne asked if Anne wanted to be with Lucas. “If she wants to and can completely forget about Anthony, we can accept her,” she said.
Lucas looked at his parents in surprise and asked, “Are you sure?”
“What other options do we have if you don’t agree to listen to us?” Eason asked gravely.
Lucas did not like it when they spoke to him as if he was a three-year-old. “She will never go back to Anthony’s side.”
“I saw on the news that Anthony’s child had an accident, but she didn’t seem to care. You don’t deserve someone as insensitive as that,” Eason spoke harshly.
Joanne noticed that Lucas looked upset, so she tried to calm him down by gently pushing his father away. After all, their focus should not be on these kinds of matters.
“Did Anne say she wants to go back?” Joanne asked.
“No, she didn’t even consider returning after leaving Luton,” Lucas replied.
“That’s good.” Joanne paused for a moment before adding, “But it’s not going to be easy for her to break free from Anthony’s control. How did you even manage to get in touch with her in the first place? Didn’t Anthony find out? I’m worried that he’ll investigate and find clues.” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“He won’t find out,” Lucas confidently stated.
“Why are you so sure? You have to be honest with us so that we can help you as your parents,” Eason inquired.
“I contacted her through people who are close to Anthony,” Lucas revealed.
“Who? Do I know them?” Joanne asked.
“I don’t know,” Lucas responded.
He had no intention of even sharing this information with his own parents.
“Is he your accomplice? Is there anyone else involved?” Joanne pressed further.
Lucas felt that his parents were scrutinizing him too closely.
Although he found it strange, he did not think too much about it because they were his family.
“No,” he answered simply.
Eason and Joanne realized that Lucas had no intention of revealing any more
information, so they decided to stop asking questions.
They knew that continuing to press him would only make him suspicious, and they did not want to risk damaging their relationship.
It was evening in their location and afternoon in Luton when Anthony received another call from Joanne. “I couldn’t get any more information out of him. He wouldn’t even say more about who it is, but he mentioned that it was someone close to you.”
“People around me…” Anthony muttered to himself.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more of a hint. I’ve done my best,” Joanne apologized.
“Yes. I’ll be waiting for your call,” Anthony responded after a pause.
Before Joanne could even feel relieved, the call had already ended.
Dr. Brown walked into the office, closed the door, and as she turned around, she was shocked to see Anthony sitting in her chair.
“Mr. Marwood? Do you need something?” Dr. Brown approached him, feeling the powerful aura emanating from him, making her hair stand on end. “I just came from the intensive care unit, and the children are still sleeping and haven’t awoken yet.”
Anthony looked at her coldly, his black eyes sharp like an eagle’s and filled with a cruel intensity that could kill. “I’ve been wondering about something. Could you help me analyze how Anne and Lucas got in touch?”
Upon being asked this, Dr. Brown’s heart skipped a beat, and her face froze for a moment.
Why would Mr. Marwood asks such a question? Why would he come to her for an answer?
Did he find out about something?
