Chapter 88
“Y–you and Lyra…“}
Lucian’s eyes flickered for a moment, guilt flashing across his face as he glanced at Astrid.
“Astrid, this matter is very complicated. I will explain it to you later.“}
He then turned to look at me, his eyes searching, as if seeking confirmation. “Did you forget the childbearing agreement you signed with my mother? The agreement was worth 700 thousand dollars. Are you really willing to forgo that money?“}
For a moment, I couldn’t even figure out what Lucian was focusing on in his words.
“The childbearing agreement between the Prescott Family and her has already been invalidated!“}
A loud voice rang out, silencing all the chatter.}
“Mom?“.
Lucian stepped forward first, followed by Astrid.}
“Hello, Mrs. Prescott. I’m Astrid Lennox, Lucian’s girlfriend.“}
A cold snort came from Mrs. Prescott. “Lucian has so many women, each one claiming to be his girlfriend. Miss Lennox, please have some self–respect.”}
With those words, it was clear that the Prescott Family didn’t approve of Astrid, Lucian’s so–called “reunion” girlfriend.
seemed this banquet had been held in secret, without informing the senior members of the Prescott Family.
No wonder, with the banquet about to start, not a single elder had arrived.
“Mom…”
Lucian, feeling humiliated, moved forward.}
But he was slapped back by Mrs. Prescott. “Wasn’t it you who forced her to abort that child? You gave up on such a good girl like Lyra, but chose this fake, pitiful woman!“}
In a fit of rage, she angrily threw a stack of documents at Lucian’s face.
“You should take a good look at your so–called first love, the one you’ve deeply loved for years. See how she faked her death and escaped and why she’s come back at this critical moment!“}
Lucian stood frozen, his eyes filled with guilt and sadness as he looked at me.”
I instinctively touched my stomach.”
Astrid, in a state of panic, rushed forward to grab the documents from his hands, but was shoved away by Lucian.}
She fell to the ground, crying loudly, repeatedly calling out Lucian’s name.}
But Lucian quickly flipped through the documents in his hands, his face darkening to the point it seemed as though ink could drip from it.” “So your car accident was fake? You really didn’t want me for the sake of your first love? You’re coming back now because your first love has gotten into trouble abroad and needs money for bail? Astrid! Tell me, is this true?“}
Lucian held up the stack of evidence, the papers rustling loudly.}
Meanwhile, Astrid sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably, her face drenched in tears. She knelt and reached for Lucian’s legs, pleading, “It was my fault ten years ago. Back then, I was blinded and deceived by him and ended up overseas. But I have regretted it for a long time. That’s why I kept sending out my information. I wanted you to find me…”
“He said that unless I paid the bail, he wouldn’t divorce me! I truly regret it. I’ve wanted to come back to you for a long time… Lucian, please believe me just this once, okay?“?
Lucian looked up, a tear slipping from the corner of his eye. This was the first time I had seen Lucian cry.
I never expected the usually decisive and cold Lucian could also cry over love.
I couldn’t really describe the feeling. I just felt a little melancholic.
In the face of love, we all become humble.
“Astrid, it’s been ten years and I can’t even remember what I loved about you. If you had really come back, why not have done it better? Why
Lucian’s heartache actually stirred something within me.
But Mrs. Prescott couldn’t be bothered to watch their drama any longer. She turned to greet Quillon instead, “Mr. Thorne, it’s such a trivial matter and yet we trouble you to come all the way here. Our Prescott Family truly is negligent.”
