Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 599

Lucas stopped, turned to look at me, and said with a frown, “Are you still bothered by this issue? That’s not like you. I’ve always thought that you wanted a loving family. Isn’t it good to have a father?”

Lucas had always been a good friend. He had read my situation very accurately; I did yearn for a close and affectionate family where there would always be someone who cared for me. Surprisingly, when it was revealed that I was Mark’s daughter, I found it hard to accept and actually felt uneasy. Was it because the weight of the name Goldstein was too much to bear?

“I do wish for a loving father, but, oh!” I sighed softly. “Perhaps it is too much to wish for, and it’s rather unbelievable. After all the twists and turns, I’ve finally become your cousin. Isn’t it incredible?”

“Nothing is impossible. You are now a member of the Goldstein family. Just enjoy the power that comes with it and do whatever you wish to. You can be willful and difficult and even raise hell. You can be sure Uncle Mark will be there for you,” Lucas told her.

He showed such certainty that I was sure that he knew about the relationship between Mark and me long before this. I felt a little confused and whispered, “Do you regret being so good to me before? After all…”

Lucas had been treated very badly by Mark and though I did not say it, Lucas had sensed it. He broke into a hearty laugh and said, “Has this got anything to do with you? Aren’t you going to be friends with me anymore?”

Lucas immediately put me at ease. He is such a charming and charismatic man. It’s no wonder that I can never forget my first impression of him lying on the sickbed and laughing away despite his depression.

I punched him and said with a smile, “You are a real buddy, Lucas. You told me that I can raise hell. Well, let me know whenever you are in trouble and I’ll raise hell together with you.”

“Remember your words,” said Lucas as he looked deeply at me. “When the time comes, don’t make excuses.”

“Shall we make a pinky swear then?” I said. “My intention is magnanimous and I am ready to go through hell and high water for a friend, but your words are like pouring cold water on me.”

To my surprise, Lucas put out his little finger for the swear and said seriously, “He who lies is a puppy.”
