Chapter 734: Chapter 737: Europe, A New Starting Point (Extra Chapter 3)
B City, in a certain villa.
Theodore Lucas slapped Tara Hammond hard, knocking her onto the sofa.
“Theodore, what are you doing? Why did you hit me?” Tara covered her face, looking innocent in front of the man.
Theodore had just returned from outside and slapped her as soon as he entered the door.
In her entire life, he had always held her in his hands.
He didn’t have enough time to pamper her, let alone hurt her in any way.
“What am I doing? Tara Hammond, who gave you permission to attack my mother?! Have I spoiled you so much over these years that you’ve forgotten who you are?”
Although Theodore Lucas was middle-aged, he was very well maintained and possessed an unique charm that only a mature man could have.
Between his brows and eyes, there was a sharp and handsome resemblance to Aidan Lucas.
However, compared to Aidan Lucas’ cold and stern features, his temperament was slightly more gentle.
Tara was a little flustered, not expecting the incident to be discovered by Theodore so quickly.
She cried pitifully, blinking her teary eyes and said, “Theodore, I…I did this for your own good. Your mother hasn’t forgiven you all these years, and now Aidan has finally been caught by Larry Scott. If Madam Lucas is gone, you can take the chance to return to A City and reconnect with your old contacts. I’m trying to help you… ”
“Enough!” Theodore interrupted her harshly.
“Even if I’m heartless and unforgivable, she’s still my mother, not an outsider! I might be able to hurt Aidan because I have no feelings for him! I hardly ever held him when he was growing up.”
“But it’s different for my mother. Madam Lucas raised me with her own hands. I’ve disappointed her too much in this life as I pursued my ambitions. Tara, you don’t understand at all… ”
“No, Theodore, I do understand, I really do. I know you treat your mother well, but they see this and use it against you by threatening her! If they’re unkind, we can be unrighteous too. Theodore, now is a great opportunity for you to come back… Aidan is not be able to rival you at the moment.”
Theodore looked her deep in the eyes and coldly pushed her aside.
He leaned on his cane and walked out step by step.
A cold voice came from the door, “Don’t worry, I’ll go back. I also need to go back and personally offer incense to my mother.”
Tara lay on the sofa, pretending to sob with her face covered, but her lips hidden by her hands curled into a faint smile.
She knew Theodore would not blame her.
He was an ambitious man, and although he might be in pain for a moment, he would be thankful for her eventually.
She, Tara Hammond, was always the woman who understood him the most.
*
One month later.
In a European country, Lily Gray sat in her own apartment, video chatting with Oliver Davis.
She lied to Aidan – she never went to M Country.
The reason for not returning was simple.
From the start, she was unwilling to acknowledge the Ford couple. Once Oliver knew she wanted to leave, he became ecstatic and told Noah Ford.
Noah took the initiative to call her, offering to pick her up.
Lily was heartbroken at the time and agreed absentmindedly.
But who would have thought that just an hour later, Noah would call again, telling her that he might not be able to take her back to M Country.
He hinted at finding another good environment outside of the Ford family home, where she could settle.
Lily was, of course, unwilling and coldly refused.
After hanging up the phone, she asked Oliver about the situation.
As it turned out, Madam Ford knew she had left the Lucas family, and she feared it would bring disaster to her own family if Lily returned.
Not only did she order Noah not to take her back.
But because of Hannah Ford’s betrayal, Madam Lucas came to know of Oliver’s assistance to Lily, and also coerced Oliver.
This time, Lily became annoyed and simply decided to not go back to M Country, choosing instead to settle down in Europe.
[Author’s Note] There’s one more update, I’ll write it. Once they’re in Europe, of course… you know. (It seems like many babies didn’t understand it, so I’ll explain. In Europe, naturally, she’ll first see David Redington and recognize each other!)
