A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Lucas couldn’t believe his ears. He could actually live here with his father in the future and see his father every day.

– Really ?

Lucas’ voice quivered.

Lyana could naturally see the excitement in Lucas’ eyes. His heart couldn’t help but ache.

She had been like that in the past, rejoicing every day living with her parents. When she discovered that the Dubois couple were not her parents, she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she found her family, she was equally excited. She had also hoped to live with her family forever, but it was all just an extravagant hope for her now.

Before dealing with those annoying people, she couldn’t go back.

Lyana held Lucas’ tiny hand. She didn’t want Lucas to live a difficult life like her. She didn’t want him to feel uncomfortable every day.

– Lucas, don’t you believe me anymore?” When have I ever lied to you?

Lyana looked at Lucas softly and said softly.

The light in Lucas’ eyes grew brighter and brighter. Since he got to know his aunt, the life he had wanted had gradually come true.

His father was ready to take him home. He just had to find his mom.

As Lucas was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently landed on Vincent. It was only then that he realized Vincent was still there.

Lucas pursed his lips and brought his face close to Lyana’s ear. In a voice so soft that they were the only ones who could hear it, he said softly:

– Aunty, have you found your parents?

Lyana turned to look at Lucas and nodded gently.

– Congratulations, aunt.

Lucas looked at Lyana longingly.

Aunty was the closest person to him and brought him great luck. Did that mean he would soon be able to find his mom?

The light in Lucas’ eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Seeing the change in Lucas’s expression, a trace of surprise flashed in Vincent’s heart.

– Lucas, are you happy about something? Vincent asks softly.

Lucas grabs Lyana’s hand firmly. Finding his family was a little secret between him and his aunt. He didn’t want to tell his father.

Lucas pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lyana turned to look at Vincent. Earlier, she was too preoccupied with Lucas to take a closer look. When she looked into Vincent’s eyes, she was stunned.

What is going on ?

When did Vincent become a panda?

Vincent’s gaze fell on Lyana’s face. Her face was flushed, and her hair was still a bit damp. She looked like a beauty who had just stepped out of the shower.

His eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that Lyana hadn’t been with him last night and had slept very happily!

Vincent said with indifference:

– Grandmother hasn’t been out since she entered the room yesterday afternoon. I wonder how she is.

Lyana frowned and lowered her gaze. She sighs silently in her heart. She turned to look at Lucas with a smile and said softly:

– Lucas, play with dad for a while. Aunty has something to do outside.

Lucas sat there, a little reluctant to part with her. However, he was afraid that Aunty wouldn’t like him if he didn’t listen to her. He nodded reluctantly.

After Lyana left, Vincent walked over to the bed and sat up.

Lucas’ gaze followed Lyana’s silhouette. Even though Lyana had already left to close the door, he still craned his neck to look. His eyes were glued to Lyana’s face.

Vincent leaned forward slightly, blocking Lucas’ view.

– You are hungry ?

Reluctantly, Lucas looked away. The light in his eyes dimmed a bit as he shook his head.

– I’m not hungry.

Not hungry ?

Vincent looked at Lucas calmly. He thought that if Lyana asked Lucas the same question, the latter would certainly nod eagerly and ask Lyana to feed him.

– Dad, can I really live here in the future?

Lucas asked cautiously, his eyes filled with impatience.

Vincent’s heart ached. Lucas’ eyes, watching him expectantly, stung. His eyes darkened and he said quietly:

– Yes. If you live here in the future, I can take care of you.

Lucas’ eyes shone like stars in the night sky.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Tightening his pants tightly, he stared at Vincent without batting an eyelid.

– Will Auntie stay here forever?

In fact, he preferred to live alone with Auntie.

Vincent had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Thinking about how Lyana hid their wedding yesterday, her thoughts changed. Pretending to be relaxed, he asked:

– Do you like him very much?

Lucas hesitated for a moment before nodding.

– If you love her, I’ll let her stay home forever, Vincent said softly.

When Lucas heard Vincent’s words, he was happy for a moment, but his eyes quickly darkened.

– Aren’t you happy?

– No.

Lucas lowered his head and said quietly,

– And if Auntie doesn’t want to live here anymore? She is an adult. If she wants to leave, we can’t stop her.

Leave ?

Vincent’s heart suddenly stopped.

Lyana seemed to have wanted to leave this place before.

Maybe she had never thought of staying here forever?

Realizing this, Vincent’s heart ached even more. He felt a little uncomfortable.

– Dad ?

Lucas tilted his head and looked at Vincent.

Vincent’s thoughts were brought back to the present. He gently stroked Lucas’ head and said,

– It’s impossible for her to leave.

Lucas blinked.

– For what ?

– There aren’t so many whys in this world, Vincent said calmly.

Lucas still didn’t understand. Thinking back to what the kindergarten teacher had said, he asked:

– Daddy, why don’t you marry Aunty? That way, we can live together forever, and Aunty won’t have to leave.

The more Lucas thought about it, the more he felt his idea was good. He looked at Vincent intently and said:

– Daddy, why don’t you marry Aunty sooner?

Vincent did not answer. He just looked at Lucas.

Previously, this overconfident nanny had said that her son was a fool who didn’t know anything.

His son was clearly smart and logical.

Could it be that Lucas has pretended to be stupid in the past?

Seeing Vincent staring at him in silence, Lucas blinked.

– Dad ?

Vincent pursed his lips and asked softly:

– Little Lucas wants daddy to marry her?

When Lucas thought about how his aunt could leave, his heart felt empty.

When Auntie cared for him, he felt she was so warm and he loved being with her.

– Yes, I want dad…

Before Lucas could finish his sentence, he frowned.

– If Papa marries Auntie, what will happen to my Mama?

– If dad marries her, she’ll be your mom from now on, Vincent said calmly.

Lucas looked at Vincent in disbelief, his eyes filled with panic.

– Are you ready to let your aunt be your mom?

Vincent’s eyes darkened.

Lucas gradually lowered his head and his long eyelashes fell, as if he had thought about this question.

He was very fond of Auntie. When she took care of him, he felt good and at ease.

But mom always has to look for him somewhere.

With that thought in mind, Lucas pursed his lips and asked cautiously:

– Can I have both my aunt and my mom? When the time is right, the four of us will live together. It’s OK ?

Vincent didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

– Earlier, you said that Auntie would leave on her own, didn’t you?

Lucas came to his senses and began to fall back into a dilemma.

Seeing Lucas’s conflicted and helpless expression, Vincent pretty much understood why Lucas was like that.

He was still young and didn’t know you couldn’t have it all. In the future, he will have to make a choice.
