Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 584

Lucas ruffled Lynn’s hair. “You two talk. I’ll go help in the kitchen.”

“Okay.” Lynn watched him until he disappeared through the kitchen door.

Betty, standing nearby, couldn’t help but smile warmly as she observed her daughter.

When Lynn finally snapped out of it, she noticed Betty staring at her.

“Mom, what are you smiling at…” she asked, already knowing the answer.

Betty led Lynn over to the couch. Glancing toward the kitchen, she said softly, “He treats you really well.”

Lynn blushed and nodded. “He does.”

Betty’s voice was full of affection. “Not just well–really well.”

These past few days, Lucas had been busy managing the public fallout around his company while also keeping an eye on the Murphy family’s business interests.

Even though it was small compared to what the Moores usually handled, Lucas hadn’t let up for a second.

“Your father and I were like that in the beginning–didn’t think much of each other at first, but eventually we found our way. We weren’t as quick as you two, though. When did you and Lucas really get together?”

Lynn wasn’t sure how to answer. “I don’t really know myself.”

It was all a little fuzzy.

She’d liked Lucas from early on, but when he showed no interest, she’d called off the engagement. After that, it seemed like he slowly started paying more attention to her.

When exactly Lucas fell for her–that part was still unclear.

Betty had assumed Lucas might walk away when things got hard. Instead, he’d stepped up and handled everything proactively.

That was when Gordon started seeing him differently. Before, after the broken engagement. he hadn’t been inclined to give Lucas any credit.

What woman would want to go through that kind of humiliation?

Betty reached out and touched Lynn’s cheek gently. “Have a child with him soon.”

Lynn’s face went bright red

They’d just gotten married, and already her mother was talking about kids. Even if Lynn wanted that, Lucas might not be on board.

Given how he was, if I ynn got pregnant, he’d probably be starved for intimacy.

She couldn’t help glancing toward the kitchen. Lucas happened to look back at her at that exact moment.

A faint smile tugged at his lips. Lynn pressed her own lips together and looked away.

“You know about your brother’s situation by now. It’s time to stop being so willful. You’re married–focus on building a good life together. The Murphy family… well, it’s all on you now.”

Betty’s voice was earnest. “Lucas used to come off as proud and distant, but look at him now–cooking in the kitchen for you. Make the most of this. Hold onto his heart, and your future will be steadier.”

Lynn felt a sudden ache in her chest.

She’d prepared herself before coming, determined not to show too much emotion and worry her parents. But hearing Betty talk like this made her eyes sting.

Everything Betty said was true–except she’d overlooked one thing. Lucas genuinely cared for her. He’d never treat her badly.

“Is it really true… about my brother?” Lynn finally asked unable to hold it in any longer.

Betty looked down and nodded slightly.

The police had come by with questions. They’d hinted at things without saying much outright, but Ruben’s situation was basically confirmed.

Lynn didn’t ask anything else.

After dinner, Gordon didn’t push them to stay the night. He didn’t want to inconvenience Lucas.

Lucas didn’t want to intrude either, so he drove Lynn back to their place.

She was quiet the whole ride. Lucas pulled over to the side of the road.

Lynn looked around–not many shops or people nearby.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

Lucas turned the question back on her. “What’s wrong with you?”

Lynn looked at him seriously, then shook her head. She dropped her gaze, not quite able to meet his eyes.

“I just feel like… you must really hate him. You should be relieved about all this…”

But instead, Lucas had been helping her this whole time. He had to be struggling with that.

Lucas reached over and pinched her cheek gently. He didn’t answer.

When he’d first found out, he’d hated Ruben with everything in him. Wanted to drag him straight to hell.

But then he’d seen Lynn crying her heart out, and all he’d felt was overwhelming sadness for her.

If he hadn’t heard that Ruben once saved Anthony, Lucas might’ve had him dealt with before even trying to reason with Lynn.
