At the moment of exposure, Thurston actually breathed a sigh of relief—the heavy stone pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground. There would be no more burden on his conscience going forward.
While Lucy was accompanying Seven to eat, she took her phone out of her bag.
Just after replying to Jane's message, she caught a glimpse of the friend request. Without the slightest hesitation, she deleted it directly.
The moment she deleted it, only one thought crossed her mind: "At least he hasn't completely forgotten how to be a human being."
She reopened her chat with Jane and sent a message: [He's gone back. He might go trouble your Mr. Thurston.]
Jane's voice message came quickly, her tone full of indifference: [Let him! Let the men solve their own problems. It's not like they'll kill each other anyway.]
Immediately after, another voice message arrived: [Honestly, having Seven discovered isn't necessarily bad. At least you don't have to guard against him anymore. Most importantly, he wouldn't dare try to snatch the child from you. Why don't you just bring Seven back for the New Year?]
After listening, Lucy replied: [After we finish our vacation, I'll bring him back to see you all.]
Just as she put away her phone, Seven beside her lifted his little head and asked, "Mommy, where are we going back to? Is it back to our own home?"
"After the vacation, Mommy will take you to meet Jane, Molly, and Locke." Lucy pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth.
"Yay!" Seven's eyes lit up, and he added, "And Uncle Sterling!"
Lucy couldn't help but smile and nodded.
Ever since Wyatt Sterling had met Seven, he had been mailing all sorts of toys from home almost every other day, with toy cars being the most frequent.
Jules, hearing this, chimed in, "I'll go back with you guys then."
"You're returning too?" Lucy raised an eyebrow at him.
