This time, Lily Grant was not acting; she was sincere.
The previously amnesiac Chloe Grant overheard her conversation with Ethan Woods and found out that the child is Ethan’s, not Lucas’s.
Lily, afraid she would tell Lucas, impulsively pushed Chloe onto the road...
At that moment, she never considered the consequences.
Nor did she expect that by committing such a blatant crime, she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Lily didn’t foresee that Lucas would plead with Matthew Morgan for her sake, and would go to Chloe to ask for her forgiveness...
Lily knew she had always been scheming, calculating this and that, using Lucas to get close to Matthew Morgan.
But at that moment... she was genuinely moved by Lucas.
Even if the whole world doesn’t trust her, she now just wants to be with Lucas...
"I know, don’t overthink it." Lucas held Lily in his arms, gently comforting her.
"Don’t overthink it." Lily clutched Lucas’s clothes, still very anxious.
Lucas assured, "Hmm, I won’t overthink it."
The day before Lily and Lucas’s wedding, Lucas went to the President’s Office of Morgan Group.
"I want to know all the information about whether there’s been any contact between Lily and Ethan Woods over the past two years." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel⚑fire.net
Faced with Matthew Morgan, Lucas directly stated his request.
He could investigate Lily and Ethan himself, but Lucas knew that if Matthew Morgan investigated, the results would come much quicker.
Although he promised Lily not to overthink about Ethan, Lucas truly couldn’t completely ignore Ethan’s words.
Matthew glanced up at him, somewhat surprised, and sneered slightly, "I thought you’d continue blindly loyal like a fool."
Lucas licked his lips, pulled out the chair in front of Matthew, and sat down.
He seemed somewhat dejected, looking at Matthew, "She’s my woman; shouldn’t I unconditionally protect and cherish her? Moreover, she is now carrying my child, shouldn’t I be more grateful to her, and even more attentive?"
He looked confused, "But why, is the whole world telling me I’m doing it wrong? That what I’m doing is ridiculous, what I’m doing... disappoints everyone?"
Every time Lucas closes his eyes, he recalls Chloe’s look of despair and disappointment toward him.
Did he make a mistake?
Matthew didn’t give an answer.
Their stances were different.
To him, Lily was someone who repeatedly harmed Chloe, and if it weren’t for Lucas desperately protecting her, Matthew would’ve taken care of her long ago.
Matthew Morgan, who appeared cold and ruthless, was actually the most sentimental.
He had deep affection for Chloe.
For his brothers, he would take the fall for them.
"I thought I was winning. Our parents approved of her, we are about to have our own child... after tomorrow, my subsequent life should be happy, complete, but..."
Why does the heart still feel so empty?
Lucas clutched his chest, "Today, when I saw her talking with Ethan, I felt there was something wrong between the two, and then I had this odd emotion... suddenly considering a possibility, and because of this possibility, I was actually relieved..."
Lucas began to laugh as he spoke.
From the moment he entered, he had been monologuing, and his words were a bit jumbled.
Lucas wasn’t sure if Matthew understood.
But whether he understood or not wasn’t that important to Lucas.
The reason he said so much was purely to vent.
