Chapter 271 The Child She Never Loved

Lucas looked at her coldly, a trace of mockery in his voice. “Kelvin is a remarkable kid. Makes you wonder -if he ever finds out the truth about where he came from, will it break him enough to want to die?”

Madam Aubrey’s face turned ghostly pale. She lunged forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar, her voice sharp with panic. “What did you do to him? What did you do!”

Lucas pried her fingers off with a chill in his tone. “Relax. I haven’t decided what to do with him yet. But if you keep provoking me again and again, I can’t promise I won’t.”

A glimmer of despair flashed through her eyes as she began to plead. “Lucas… he’s innocent… please don’t hurt him… don’t hurt him…”

“Innocent?” Lucas let out a bitter laugh, the coldness in his eyes deepening. “In your own words, he’s your son. That means he’s not innocent.”

With that, Lucas shook her off and turned to leave.

“No, don’t! Don’t hurt him!” Madam Aubrey stumbled after him, only to be blocked at the doorway by bodyguards. Still, she begged desperately, voice hoarse. “You can’t… please, don’t hurt him!”

Lucas stood just outside the courtyard, listening to her cry and scream behind him.

So this is the difference between love and indifference.

He stood in the garden outside Madam Aubrey’s residence, and in his mind, he saw a little boy-three years old-clumsily running toward his mother, reaching out a tiny hand to grab her sleeve.

“Mommy…” the child looked up, eyes full of hope and longing.

She glanced at him coldly, then pushed him away without a shred of gentleness. “You’re a boy. Learn to be independent. Don’t come running to be held.”

Her eyes were empty, as if the child before her had nothing to do with her at all.

Her words cut into Lucas’s young heart like a knife.

The little boy didn’t understand what she meant. He thought she didn’t want him. Clinging to her pant leg. he cried and threw a tantrum.

“Ugh, look what you’ve done. You’ve dirtied my pants.”

He was shoved to the ground. His palm scraped against the floor, burning with pain.

Biting his lip, he forced back the tears and got up again, trying once more to approach her.

“Mommy… it hurts…” His voice trembled with tears, full of confusion and sadness.

She didn’t even look at him. She turned and walked away, as if seeing him for one more second would disgust her.

The little boy stood there, and the tears finally fell. He couldn’t understand why his mother didn’t like him.
