Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 684: Chapter 687: The Past of the Lucas Family (2)

“Died young… haha, that’s what everyone says. Most people think that my unfilial son passed away early. Only a few families know the truth of that year.”

Madam Lucas’s gaze became distant, and she moved her eyes from the faraway back to Lily Gray’s face.

“I’ve heard about you and Ethan Wilson… so many years have passed, and I never expected you to be the child who saved him back then. In a way, this is your fate. Lily, do you remember how old Ethan was when you saved him?”

Lily Gray thought for a moment and frowned, “Less than ten years old?”

Madam nodded, “To be precise, he had just turned nine.”

“Nine, so young…”

Thinking of the thin boy in her memory, Lily Gray couldn’t help but feel heartache.

At such a young age, he had to face the threat of kidnappers. And yet, he was so strong that he managed to escape on his own.

“That’s right, he was so young back then. Lily, they say that family disgrace should not be aired in public, but you are now part of the Lucas family. There are some things that I think it’s time you knew. I hope that you will not only cling to Ethan like a helpless vine but also grow up and support and encourage him.”

Ethan Wilson is a man, and as a man, he hopes to block all threats outside the home.

But Madam Lucas is different; she has experienced the most dangerous situations with her husband, Mr. Lucas.

She believes that a woman needs not only gentleness, virtue, and submission,

but also strength, perseverance, and independence.

A woman should have both softness and strength. Only such a woman can stand shoulder to shoulder with a powerful man.

She has returned this time because Heaven has left her with not much time left. However, the Lucas family still faces many potential threats.

Originally, she had decided to cut the Gordian knot and have Lily Gray leave Ethan Wilson.

But now, seeing their son Ben Lucas and Lily Gray, Madam Lucas decided to give it a try.

She wanted to change Lily Gray, hoping that she could become Ethan Wilson’s support after her demise.

“Grandma…” Lily Gray’s eyes showed determination.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Be good, let me finish,” Madam Lucas interrupted her confession, her face full of emotion and sadness as she recalled the past. “What I’m going to tell you now is a part of the family past that the Lucas family has always been reluctant to mention.”

“Ethan’s father was the only son of Mr. Lucas and me. We named him Theodore and had high hopes for him. He can be said to be perfect but also imperfect. Because he was so outstanding in his studies and career, Mr. Lucas and I neglected his emotional growth.”

“That child said he never felt the warmth of family from us. Although he married Emily from the Taylors, he said that it was not what he wanted. But we thought it was just his youthful restlessness. Even though he showed his dissatisfaction with Emily, at least they treated each other with respect.”

“Until one night, when Emily was pregnant with Ethan, she suddenly had abdominal cramps in the middle of the night and fell by the bedside. She remained there until Ellie found her. That was the first time Emily realized that her husband had secretly left home in the middle of the night.”

“Going out in the middle of the night, where did he go…?” Lily Gray had an answer in her mind but didn’t dare to believe it.

His wife was pregnant with a child, and yet he snuck away every night.

“Humph, where else could he go? He went to another woman’s house! At that time, that woman’s belly was already bigger than Emily’s by two months!”
