“Daddy, I was just out for a walk.”
“She was the woman by the river the other night.”
Lucas offered a sheepish grin.
“You caught me, Daddy. I just thought the pretty lady was interesting. Calling the cops and having those two arrested... it was a great cliffhanger. I wanted to see what happened next.”
“The ‘what happened next’ you wanted to see was someone else’s divorce? And when they didn’t get one, you decided to encourage it?”
“Daddy, she has to get rid of the wrong person to meet the right one. I just feel like the pretty lady deserves better.”
“We went fishing that night, didn’t we? It seems to me you’re the one who got hooked.”
Lucas chuckled awkwardly. Why did his dad have to call him out like that?
He just felt that the pretty lady was exactly what his dream mommy would be like.
And seeing her go through something like this made him righteously indignant on her behalf.
“Daddy, don’t you think that if our ‘princess’ were to grow up, she’d look just like this pretty lady?”
Terence didn't answer, his expression unreadable.
Just then, a team of bodyguards rushed over.
“Mr. Lockwood, we are so sorry. We failed to keep an eye on the young master. Is he alright?”
“He’s fine. He was just stalking someone on the street and gave himself heatstroke.”
Lucas was speechless. How could his own father expose him so ruthlessly?
