Chapter 1684: Chapter 1687: Suspecting the Births of Evelyn Lucas and Nolan Lucas
Emily Taylor’s face turned pale suddenly upon hearing her son’s question.
She clenched her fists. “Those shaless lovebirds, back then, they were inseparable, colluding without sha!”
She could never forget the days when she was pregnant with Aidan Lucas, bitterly waiting for Theodore Lucas to co ho.
“I had only been married into the Lucas family for three days, and Theodore Lucas already started staying out all night. When Mr. Lucas found out, he dragged Theodore back ho and sent Tara Hammond away to another province. Not long after, I beca pregnant with you, and Mr. Lucas loosened his control over Theodore Lucas a little.”
Recalling the past, Emily’s eyes dimd.
“At the ti, I thought having a child would at least make that man change his heart. But I couldn’t have imagined… Tara Hammond was remarkable. She went to another province rely to care for her pregnancy. She was already carrying Theodore Lucas’s child!”
Back then, when Theodore knew Tara Hammond was pregnant, he was desperate to see her. But every ti, Mr. Lucas blocked his way.
“Your grandpa even considered forcibly taking Tara Hammond to abort the baby. When Theodore Lucas found out, that piece of garbage threatened your grandpa, saying he would push down the stairs. Your grandparents were terrified he might actually act recklessly towards , so they let him leave the mansion.”
It was during that ti that she accidentally fell late at night.
She lay alone on the ground, clutching her stomach, barely conscious, pleading for help. Only when Ellie heard her cries did she manage to save both lives.
anwhile, her husband was at Tara Hammond’s side.
“Mom, is it possible that Nolan Lucas wasn’t fathered by Theodore Lucas but soone else?” Lily asked urgently, unable to hold back.
Emily was startled, not understanding why Lily would ask such a thing.
“Impossible. After Nolan was born, Theodore Lucas wanted him included in the family tree, so he specifically did a paternity test. Besides, look at him and Aidan Lucas…”
She wanted to say they looked very alike, but thinking of Nolan’s identity made her heart ache.
Lily grew despondent. Was it truly just her mistake?
At that mont, Mr. Lucas asked suddenly, “And when Tara Hammond was pregnant with Evelyn Lucas, how was her relationship with Theodore Lucas then? Was Theodore still by her side every day, deeply attached?”
“No, not exactly…”
Emily had to furrow her brows, recollecting that grim period.
“Before Evelyn was born, there was a ti when Theodore Lucas returned ho quite frequently. Mainly because during that period, Mr. Lucas had retracted much of the power held by Theodore Lucas. I rember he was very frustrated then, and it seed there had been a rift between him and Tara Hammond. But later, when Tara beca pregnant with Evelyn Lucas, their relationship thawed again.”
Emily continued speaking, but Mr. Lucas had already seized upon the key detail he needed.
He interrupted Emily and asked about the hospital where Nolan Lucas and Evelyn Lucas were born.
Emily, back then still harboring feelings for Theodore Lucas, naturally knew all about the mistress’s affairs clearly.
Mr. Lucas organized people to investigate clues.
At that mont, Ellie ca upstairs and knocked on the door, saying Simon Taylor had arrived.
“Madam, Andrew has hidden Paul Davidson inside his room. Simon Taylor has co to take him away, saying he wants to bring Paul back with him.”
“He… how does he still have the audacity to co here!?” Emily was stunned.
Lily and Aidan exchanged glances.
It seed Simon Taylor had made a special trip, but the thing he wanted wasn’t Paul Davidson—it was the Transforrs toy in Paul’s possession.
“Mom, don’t worry. I’ll go and take a look.”
Aidan handed what he was holding to Lily, gave her a aningful look, and then headed downstairs.
Lily quickly instructed Ellie to take Andrew, Lulu, and Paul to Emily’s room.
Seeing Paul, Emily’s heart ached with sadness yet held a touch of reluctance.
Though the child was mischievous, he was, after all, still young, and in recent days he had beco much more sensible.
His parents’ mistakes shouldn’t be blad on him.
Emily secretly wiped her tears but hadn’t yet managed to plead for Paul when she saw Lily summoning Paul to her side.
Lily retrieved the Transforrs toy from Paul’s hands.
In front of Emily, she opened the ‘compartnt’ on its chest and tossed a small black object inside.
Emily was shocked. “That… that’s…”
