The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray Chapter 805 - Deep Affection

Chapter 805 Deep Affection

Florence was furious at first. But when she heard Pamela’s last sentence, she was so astonished that she opened her mouth but couldn’t say a word.

She didn’t expect Pamela, who was clearly extremely resistant to the Master of California before, to declare that she wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Lucas away from Cheyenne after learning they were married!

At this moment, Florence felt a trace of regret.

She knew that her niece Pamela was extremely ruthless. If she really wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Cheyenne’s husband away, she would definitely succeed!

In fact, Pamela wasn’t any less beautiful than Cheyenne, and she was over three years younger. She was at her prime, where she was gorgeous and attractive to the opposite gender.

Besides, Pamela was an heiress of the Howards and grew up carefully nurtured. She had also studied abroad for several years, so she was definitely scheming and resourceful. With these conditions added together, her kindhearted daughter might really not be Pamela’s match.

Moreover, Lucas was a man after all. Most men tended to be fond of the new and dislike the old, and most of them l.u.s.ted over young and beautiful women. If Pamela really s.n.a.t.c.hed away Lucas, the overlord of California and Oregon, Florence’s plan would be completely destroyed!

When the time came, things would be terrible!

After thinking about it, Florence quickly changed her att.i.tude and smiled at Pamela. “Oh, Pamela, what’s the point of you doing this? It was my fault just now for saying something wrong in a moment of panic. I didn’t mean to scold you. Please don’t take it to heart!

“Besides, you don’t have to say that on purpose just because you’re mad at me! I know you’re already in love with a handsome and competent Prince Charming who’s countless times better than Lucas Gray. And you said that you wouldn’t marry him, didn’t you? I will definitely find a way to help you achieve your life goal!

“You don’t have to worry about the family either. As long as Cheyenne and I reconcile, Lucas Gray will be my rightful son-in-law, and even the family won’t have any objections. They won’t force you to marry anyone else either!”

Florence put on the benevolent look of an elder and made many promises to Pamela. She also deliberately mentioned the man that Pamela was in love with to use him to tempt Pamela into changing her mind.

But Florence simply didn’t know that the Prince Charming whom Pamela was in love with was none other than Lucas.

Thus, her persuasion was futile.

“Aunt Florence, it’s already too late for you to say that! I must get my hands on Lucas Gray!” Determination to get Lucas appeared in Pamela’s eyes as she smiled at Florence before turning around to leave nonchalantly.

Lucas was the man she wanted, so she would never give him up. Even if she had to be a homewrecker whom everyone despised, she was bent on taking the man she adored back from another woman! Only the dumbfounded Florence remained in the private room. Why?

Pamela had clearly told her that she was in love with someone, but why would she suddenly decide to s.n.a.t.c.h Cheyenne’s husband away?

Did Pamela have a change of heart after seeing Lucas at the martial arts compet.i.tion today?

This is ridiculous!

What should I do now?

Florence was completely fl.u.s.tered because of what Pamela said.

Meanwhile, Lucas was already driving back to his home at Pearl Lake Villa with Cheyenne.

On the way, Cheyenne didn’t say a word and simply s.p.a.ced out while watching the pa.s.sing scenery.

Looking at Cheyenne, Lucas felt heartbroken, but he couldn’t find any words to comfort her.

After all, in such situations, all words of comfort seemed pointless. “Honey, do you think I’m really not destined to have parents?” Cheyenne suddenly asked. Just as Lucas was about to speak, Cheyenne continued, “In the past, I thought that Karen Turner was my mother. Although she didn’t treat me well and kept trying to exploit me, I really felt that she might dislike me because I wasn’t good enough.

“So I tried my best to be more well-behaved and sensible in hopes that she would praise me and treat me better. But in the end…

“At that time, I felt really relieved after learning that she wasn’t my biological mother.

“It turned out that it wasn’t because I didn’t do well enough that she didn’t like me but because I wasn’t her biological child. So no matter how well-behaved or outstanding I was, she wouldn’t like me. While I was thinking like this, I thought I might not be that bad.

“But after that, I began to wonder again and again just why my biological parents abandoned me and left me by the side of the road. I thought about plenty of possibilities.

“So today, when I received that phone call from… her, I was really happy because I thought that I had finally found my biological mother. I had even already imagined reuniting with her.

“But she… couldn’t even tell me the reason she abandoned me. I don’t want to blame her or denounce her. I just wanted to know why she abandoned me back then. Even if she really abandoned me because of some absurd and terrible reason, I think I’d forgive her as long as she admitted her mistakes to me sincerely.

“But she… she really let me down too much.

“So, I want to ask myself if I had done something wrong or if I shouldn’t have been born at all.”

Tears streamed down Cheyenne’s face.

Cheyenne doesn’t usually cry easily, and when she did, she usually teared up quietly, making her look exceptionally sympathetic. Seeing Cheyenne like this, Lucas felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

“Cheyenne, it’s not your fault. It’s their own issues for treating you that way.”

Lucas slowly parked the car by the road and reached his arms out to pull the crying and trembling Cheyenne into his embrace.

“Each of us is not necessarily liked by other people, including our own parents. But we can’t choose our parents, so there’s nothing we can do about it.

“But there are also many people who are deeply in love with us. Amelia and I are your family members, and we will never leave you. We’ll love you forever!”

Lucas stroked Cheyenne’s long hair gently.

This was Lucas’s promise to Cheyenne.

“Honey!”

Cheyenne was wrapped tightly in Lucas’s muscular and warm arms, her heart full of a tender and fuzzy feeling. She hugged Lucas tightly and even began kissing him pa.s.sionately.

She felt really lucky to have a man who loved her so much and stayed by her side unconditionally!
