A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Not only did Lucas lack maternal love, but he also lacked father love! If it was understandable that he couldn’t find his mother in the past, then why didn’t Vincent treat Lucas well?

Also, Lucas had told her once that his father seemed to prefer girls, so he felt very inferior at that time. Also, Lucas had disguised himself as a woman to please his father.

Lyana looked at Vincent in disbelief. She hadn’t known Vincent for a long time, but she knew him more or less.

Whether in front of strangers or in front of her, Vincent was a responsible man. He was certainly not such an irresponsible man.

Lyana’s eyes were filled with confusion. Even his eyebrow furrowed.

Vincent had paid particular attention to Lyana’s gaze. Within seconds, many complex emotions appeared in his eyes. The only thing he could see clearly was the disappointment and disbelief in her eyes.

When Vincent thought about her gaze, he instantly felt uneasy.

He felt like something was stuck in his throat. His gaze darkened and his voice grew cold. He continued :

– Lucas’s biological father was not in good health, and he was seriously ill. Before Lucas was three years old, his biological father was in the hospital and covered in all kinds of medical tubes. He didn’t have time to take care of himself, and he couldn’t take care of Lucas either.

Lyana was slightly stunned. In an instant, she grasped the main point of Vincent’s words.

In other words, Vincent was not Lucas’ father.

When Lyana heard this, she felt a wave of relief. Fortunately, Vincent was not that kind of person.

She really couldn’t stand her husband being a cold-blooded man who had a messy private life and didn’t care about his illegitimate child.

Lyana asked curiously,

– Then why does Julie think Lucas is your child?

– Maybe she bumped into me when I often visited Lucas in the past. Sometimes when Lucas was in a good mood, he called me dad.

Lyana was enlightened. So that’s what happened.

In this case, it was indeed easy to misunderstand.

If she saw that, she might also think that Vincent had an illegitimate child.

Lyana didn’t doubt Vincent’s words, because she couldn’t find a reason for Vincent to lie to her.

She remembered Julie’s judgmental and domineering attitude. Once again, her gaze fell on Lucas’s face, who was unconscious from his illness. Her heart sank.

If this case explodes, Lucas may have to carry the label of illegitimate child for the rest of his life.

Poor Lucas. He was still so young, but he had to endure everything he shouldn’t have to.

Lucas’ parents were not by his side. Does that mean he should be abused?

It was really too unfair.

Lyana remembers that when she was young, she lived in the countryside with her grandfather. Other people had also said that she was a child no parent wanted. They even said she was a bastard.

Lyana recalled Lucas being bullied by his teachers and classmates.

Moreover, he was now inexplicably embroiled in a dispute between wealthy families.

Julie had really good methods. In order to sow discord, she really used everything.

Lyana squeezed her other hand tightly, her fingertips turning white. She would never allow Julie to hurt Lucas in any way.

Absolutely not.

Lyana withdrew from her thoughts. Her gaze fell on Vincent’s face. She could also feel the coldness emanating from Vincent.

It seemed that Vincent was just as angry as she was about Julie’s rumors.

Lyana thought again of Lucas’ mother and asked in a low voice:

– So where did his mother go?

Vincent looked at Lyana, his eyes as cold as ice. In a low voice he said:

– After Lucas was born, his mother disappeared.

– Disappeared? Did you look for it?

– I’ve already looked, but I couldn’t find her.

Even now, Vincent was still sending people to find him.
