Oliver's Substitute Bride (Oliver and Jessica) novel Chapter 268

"Jessica isn't your illegitimate daughter in Birmingham, is she? I felt she looks like you the more I see her." Lucas said.

Then Gavin realized that his inappropriate remarks aroused Lucas's suspicion.

"What do you know?" Gavin felt that Lucas may know something, or he won't ask this question.

"Dad, is there something you're not telling me? You and Mr. Langwell are discussing things in secret. Is it related to Jessica?"

Gavin had to tell Lucas directly.

"There's something I have to tell you now. You may not believe it, but it's the truth." Gavin made Lucas prepare himself first lest the news was too shocking for Lucas to accept for a moment.

No matter what, Lucas had always been the only child of the Kim family.

Gavin and others regarded Lucas as the sole legal heir to the Kim family and its fortune in the future.

Gavin had been working hard and accumulating wealth for Lucas. All Gavin wanted was that Lucas could live a carefree life after Gavin passed away. In this way, Gavin thought that Emily, Lucas's mother who had died would be relieved.

"Tell me, there's nothing I can't accept," Lucas asked curiously when he saw that Gavin had been beating around the bush.

"Jessica is indeed my daughter," Gavin said.

Lucas was shocked and looked at Gavin.

"You had an affair without my mother knowing?" Lucas asked.

The news did hurt him.

Since he was about the same age as Jessica, Lucas thought that Jessica's mom and his mother must have been pregnant at about the same time. In other words, Gavin had relationships with both women, which hurt both women.

Lucas was sad for his mother because she died in childbirth.

Lucas was furious.

Lucas liked Jessica to be his sister, which would be great in a normal situation.

"Lucas, what are you thinking?"

Gavin knew his son very well and felt Lucas's emotion. Usually, Lucas talked a lot, but now he kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything.

But Lucas respected his father very much and didn't say anything for the time being even if he was dissatisfied.

Therefore, Gavin asked him.

"Do you really want to know what I think? You should apologize to my mother. You hurt her." Lucas said angrily.

Gavin laughed when he heard Lucas's words.

At least when Lucas knew that he had a sister, he didn't consider that the sister might compete with him for the succession. Fortunately, Lucas was still empathizing with his mother after all these years of his mother's death.

"I didn't have an affair at that time. You were my son, Jessica was my daughter, and you were siblings."

"Really?" Lucas asked.

When hearing Gavin's words, Lucas gradually felt jubilant.

It was indeed difficult for Lucas to digest so much news for a moment, but he got excited.

He and Jessica were twins.

Therefore, as long as Jessica gave Lucas a look, he could understand her thoughts.

Before they knew each other, Lucas could vaguely feel Jessica's emotions.
