Chapter Thirty; Definitely Not As Expected.“Why are you telling me this?” Lucas asked, a little confused by what was happening.Why did she suddenly turn the tables and decided to be honest with him?“I don’t know why I am saying this to you, but I just want to tell you as well” Geraldine or now Vienna said as she took a glass of water and downed it.At that time, there was a knock on the door, so she called out for the person to come in.The waitress who had taken their order came in with a trolly carrying their orders on it.When she served them their food and drink, she left them and the room was back to being silent again.“Can you still eat or do you have to go now?” Geraldine asked him all of a sudden, catching him off guard.Was she trying to send him away already? Oh well, he better just let go of the opportunity. if he couldn’t convince her now, then it’s useless, but at least since he’s already here, he’ll have to eat first before going.However, that was not what Geraldine
Chapter Thirty One; Anything For My Mom.Lucas didn’t stop when he started the car again, luckily for him, every traffic light was green when he passed and there were not many cars to even create any traffic jam.Soon, the like on the GPS had reached the red spot on the map which meant that Lucas had reached the Baron residence in just four minutes.He didn’t doubt it was the place because the gate was open and there were some cars entering the gate.But when it was Lucas’s turn to enter, the gate man refused to lift the metal for him to enter with his car.Lucas couldn’t believe his eyes and ears. Would he suddenly just show up in a place as big and magnanimous as this without being invited? It sounded very absurd to him.But the gate man insisted that he had to show him an invitation card first since he didn’t know him or else he wouldn’t let him enter.“Hey, I was really invited by Mrs Melissa Baron, you can check a list am sure there’s one, please just let me in first and we’ll cl
Chapter Thirty Two; Another Heart Shattering Heartbreak.“Ma’am, Master Baron requires your presence in the kitchen” the butler told Melissa, making her freeze on the word she was saying.She turned towards Lucas, “Lucas, you stay and have fun okay, I’ll be right back, make yourself comfortable.” And then she left walking through the corridor to the door that’s presumed to be the kitchen.“Why is that boy here?” Patrick asked Melissa who just hung her head knowing that this time she was wrong.She didn’t say anything to him and just stood still. She was scared of provoking the man when there were a lot of people here to celebrate with them.And to everyone, they were the most ideal, happy and successful family that is envied by everyone, she knew it was important for him to maintain this image. “Am sorry, I’ll explain later” she begged him trying to get his mind off it.Patrick looked at her for a long time using the means to contain his anger.“Fine, you stay beside me for the rest
Chapter Thirty Two; Not Yet Ready For HimLucas’s eyes darted in the crowd to look for the only person he was comfortable with at the place, but he couldn’t find Melissa anywhere.So there was only one thing left for him to do, to approach his father who was the host of the event. He wanted to greet him and show himself to the man for he thought, “Maybe Patrick didn’t see me that’s why he didn’t mention me” he tried to deceive himself as he approached Patrick.But before he could reach him, a woman suddenly came out from the direction that Melissa had left earlier and announced that food was ready.“Everyone should move to the big dining room “ the woman called out and the people complied. Even Patrick.Lucas hurried to catch up with Patrick but Patrick didn’t notice that someone was approaching him and just turned and went towards the direction of the dinning.“Hey, if you want to congratulate him Just wait after the meal and do it” one of the guests there whom Lucas didn’t know sud
Chapter Thirty Four; The Real Barons“Why did you bring this big to this event when you clearly know my stance?” Patrick asked as soon as the house was empty of the guests and only the three of them remained there.“Because… because, I just wanted him to witness what it felt like in the Baron residence and experience it even just once” Melissa answered him truthfully.She had hoped that since there were a lot of people present, Patrick wouldn’t send Lucas away because she knew he would think about his image, what would people say if he had sent someone away from his party even if they did or did not know it was his son.“Are you trying to make everyone doubt this family’s perfection?” Grandpas Baton suddenly entered the house and looked at Melissa very angrily.“Is that your motive? Then it will not work, you will only disgrace yourself at the end of the day if something happens and turns out to be chaotic do you hear me?.”“No sir, that is not definitely what I meant, that’s why I d
Chapter Thirty Five; Lucas And The Long Endless Drive.She dialled Lucas’s number for the third time already. it kept ringing but he was not answering it.Melissa was sad thinking that it may be her fault this time, she had made her son feel sad.But she knew that with time he’ll understand why he was doing what she had to do because there’s little doubt that when the two; father and son spend some time in the same vicinity with each other, their hearts will slowly open up to each other, especially that of Patrick.But for now, she thought that he probably needed some space. That's why he refused to pick her call, it was a normal human cat right? she didn’t paster him too much.“I am sorry if today didn’t turn out well son, but I promise you that next time it will be better, don’t take your dad to heart okay? Sleep early, good night” Melissa texted Lucas and waited for a few minutes expecting a reply from him.But after ten minutes and he still didn’t say anything to reply to her mess
Chapter Thirty Six; On A Bus After A while Lucas left the house in a hurry, he didn’t bother to take the car with him.“Aren’t you going out with the car? Where are you going this early morning?” James had asked him when he saw him barging out of the house early in the morning.But Lucas didn’t have much time to explain it to James.“I’ll explain when I come back” he said.“Well shouldn’t you at least carry the guards that your mom has arranged for you? Even if it was one of them?” That was James’s way of reminding him that he still lived in heart and sometime, the world might be a dangerous place for a young man such as him to be walking out early in the morning. But he seemed to have forgotten that before he met this somewhat comforting riches that his mother gave him by providing him a big house in one of the safe part of the state.And the provision of privileges such as a car and even personal body guards of his own, Lucas had lived in the trenches and could be able to defend
Chapter Thirty Seven; You Do Look Beautiful.Lucas looked at his phone again when he noticed the Line, he saw that it had shown red right where he was supposed to drop before it started showing red line instead of green.Lucas then realized that he had mixed his bus stop.What would he do now? He checked the next stop for the bus he was currently in and saw that it was still a long distance away.After calculating that he would have to wait for another bus again to bring him back to his destination, he felt like it would be too time wasting for him.Ai he was left with no other option than to alight at the very place he was, it would be easier for him to go back to the stop and walk to the place he was going.Lost at what next time do, he stood up and walked to the front of the bus.The bus driver, an elderly woman was was easily on her fifties, wearing a bus that bus drivers usually wear was driving the big bus.“Good morning ma!” Lucas politely greeted her.Although she wondered why
