Divorced 139
Chapter 139
Lucas‘ eyes were filled with a layer of cold indifference as he glanced
at Yvonne.
Yvonne felt a sudden weight on her shoulders, an invisible pressure enveloping her. Her eyes flickered, and she said no more.
Crystal’s face was grim. “What do you want to do?”
Surely, Lucas wasn’t going to make her apologize to Aveline? Was he crazy? What was her status compared to Aveline’s? Did Aveline deserve it?
Lucas cast a cold glance at Crystal before turning his gaze to the little boy.
“Come here.”
Crystal held the boy tightly. “Lucas, what are you going to do? Are you planning to harm a child?”
Lucas looked at her coolly. “Do you think I’m like you?”
“You!”
Crystal’s face turned livid.
But she knew that today’s incident was her fault. She couldn’t be too aggressive. She almost wished Lucas would force her to apologize to Aveline, as it would escalate the issue to a conflict between the Tudor and Ross families. That would make things harder to resolve.
The little boy, cowering in Crystal’s arms, looked at Lucas in fear, not daring to move.
Lucas‘ dark eyes grew colder. “Are you a man? A man takes responsibility for his mistakes.”
The boy immediately broke free from Crystal’s embrace and walked
toward Lucas.
Crystal held her breath, watching Lucas intently, afraid he might. harm her precious grandson.
Lucas crouched down and pointed at Aveline beside him. “She didn’t hit you, but you said she did. Were you lying?”
The boy nodded timidly.
Lucas‘ voice was stern. “When you make a mistake, shouldn’t your apologize?”
The boy blinked, tears streaming down his face, but he held back his sobs and looked at Aveline.
“I’m… I’m sorry…”
Lucas patted his head. “Taking responsibility for your actions is what makes you a man.”
The little boy’s chest puffed out unconsciously.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucas stood up, his presence radiating a cold, chilling aura. He looked at Crystal coolly. “Well–mannered people address issues directly and don’t make baseless accusations. My wife does this very well; she never admits to things she hasn’t done.”
With that, he took Aveline’s hand and led her out.
This was Lucas indirectly accusing Crystal of being ill–mannered!
Crystal was furious!
“Yvonne, look at him! How can he treat me like this? I am his senior!
Yvonne sighed helplessly. “Mrs. Ross, I’m just a stepmother. What can I say?”
Crystal was so angry she couldn’t breathe properly, her face looking
extremely unpleasant.
The onlookers, who had heard that Lucas had returned after being missing for a year, had not yet interacted with him. Today, they realized how difficult he was to deal with!
After all, this was just a small issue caused by a child’s mischief, yet he made such a big deal out of it. He was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Outside the Tudor family villa, the beautiful and intricate scenery of the estate came into view, but Aveline had no time to admire it.
Her gaze fell on their intertwined hands, and she pressed her lips together.
After their previous unpleasant parting, she thought he wouldn’t care about her anymore. His attitude this time left her quite surprised.
He stood up for her.
Did this mean he had feelings for her?
Realizing what she was thinking, Aveline was momentarily stunned, and her expression turned cold.
