"Theodore Lucas has recently returned to A City to put the na of that illegitimate child on the family tree. Compared to that, both Ian Moore’s personal feelings and this child are just trifles."
The subject changed so swiftly that Lily was caught off guard.
A flicker of unusual expression crossed Mr. Lucas’s face, clearly not expecting Mr. Wellington to bring this up in front of Lily.
Lily is pregnant, and even if he knew about Theodore’s movents, he didn’t want her to worry.
Mr. Wellington, seeing the look on both of their faces, knew that Lily was unaware.
His gaze darkened, "You are Ethan Wilson’s wife, at tis like these, the people you should be concerned about and care for are Ethan."
"Looking at you, you seem to have no clue about this matter? Instead of coming here to concern yourself with other families’ private affairs, you’d be better off visiting the elders of the Lucas family. After all, the faces of Commander Scott and the Reddington family are still recognized by those people in A City."
Lily had no idea about the maneuvers behind Theodore Lucas’s back.
She turned her head to look at Mr. Lucas, and from his eyes, her beautiful ones found the answer.
"Did you know long ago that Theodore Lucas was going to add Nolan Lucas’s na to the family tree?"
Mr. Lucas couldn’t stand to see Lily anxious, his large hand encompassed her, patiently comforting her: "Yes, I knew a long ti ago. But rest assured, it’s not so easy to be added to the Lucas family tree, and his plotting for decades has never been successful."
"No, it definitely won’t be that simple." Lily didn’t believe it.
If it were that simple, Mr. Wellington wouldn’t have specifically brought it up to block her.
"This matter is definitely not simple, right, Master Wellington?" Lily turned to Mr. Wellington with a plea in her eyes.
"Of course, Theodore Lucas has already co to see . He claims he has evidence that Ethan is unsuitable for the position of the head of the family. However, he knows how close I am to Ethan, so he did not show this so-called evidence."
"Then..."
Lily was about to ask further when she was interrupted by Mr. Lucas, "Alright, these are small matters. Lily, you are now carrying a baby, you can’t worry about such things. I’ll handle the matters in A City, you just be good and don’t make worry."
He had already sent Sebastian Lucas VII and Benjamin Lucas IX back to A City, and just so happened that Emily Taylor is also in A City now; she could lobby for him as well.
Of course, he should personally return for such matters.
But with Lily and the three children all in B City, and having just taken office as Speaker, he truly can’t leave.
However, this is exactly where Theodore Lucas reveals his cunning.
Knowing he can’t leave B City for now, he chose this ti to return to A City to lobby.
"How are you going to handle it? You’ve just taken office; you can’t leave B City during this period. I should go to A City to solve these matters for you."
Lily now deeply blas herself.
It’s clear, just as Mr. Wellington said, she should go back to visit the heads of the various Lucas family branches and those elders and relatives on Aidan Lucas’s behalf.
But Ethan Wilson, not wanting to worry her, deliberately kept it from her.
And now, she foolishly dragged him along to the Wellington family to ask for people.
Not to ntion whether it’s appropriate to do such things at this ti, just the fact that she dragged Ethan here could very likely offend Mr. Wellington.
Although Mr. Wellington is an outsider, he has always had a harmonious relationship with the older generation of the Lucas family.
If she offended him at this ti... Lily dared not think of the consequences...
"Sweetheart, don’t be sad, this isn’t your fault..."
Mr. Lucas couldn’t bear to see his little one bla herself and soothed her gently.
"It’s because I don’t want you to worry, it’s who should keep it from you. This has nothing to do with you, let’s not bla ourselves, alright?"
His voice, low and magnetic, resonated deeply.
