Chapter 1120 Part Of The Royal Family
Crystal's POV:
I said goodbye to Lucy and made my way back to my residence. Arron was busy drawing when I arrived, but the moment he saw me, he got up and greeted me enthusiastically.
I put down the things I was holding and held him in my arms. "What do you want for dinner, sweetie?"
After thinking for a while, Arron responded in a soft voice, "Black truffle pasta and tomato soup.”
"Okay, then. Mommy will cook it for you." I rubbed his head, kissed him on the cheek, and headed into the kitchen The dinner was great and my son ate a lot. After I cleaned up, I played with Arron and his building blocks.
That was when the phone rang. It was Laura. When I picked up, the first thing she asked about how things were going today. She never took a liking on Adela, and so whenever she heard that Adela met with Rufus, her immediate reaction was to disturb them. And sometimes she would also make me do it instead and tell her everything later.
The whole debacle amused me to no end, and so I decided to tell Laura everything that had transpired at Rufus’ place. After that, I asked her about Lucy, Laura seemed taken aback. "You met with Lucy?" she askedAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yes," I answered carefully. "She helped me out today. I don't think she recognized me though. In fact, I must say her way of doing things is already so different from before.” I paused and thought for a while. "She actually looked a lot gentler. Way less arrogant than she was before.” "How can she still be arrogant?” Laura asked, sounding annoyed. "Richard already fell from grace. If she doesn't change her ways and lead a more low -profile life with her child, I really don't think they'd have a place to stay in this imperial palace. Everyone, even her father, had abandoned her." Laura sounded exasperated
But I still felt a little uneasy. "I don't know... Her sudden appearance still feels so strafge. In the past few years, shes-been very careful and, > rarely soeial with anyone. What made her show up today? What compelled her to offer to help: me out? She doesn't know me, taura. She might've wanted to get acquainted with me for Firman's sake, but..."
There was silence on Laura's end. After a few moments, she spoke again. "You know what? It was indeed a bit strange. I'll have more people to keep an eye on Lucy. Just in case.”
"Lucy's child, Firman..." I hesitated, not knowing how Laura was going to react.
Firman was pitiable. If there was no friction between his parents, he might have a life way better than what he currently had.
"He isnt Richard's child. Ethan and I had him testedwhen he was born. We wanted do something, but you tampered-with Rufus’ memory so hie only remembered Firman to be his true nephew. We wouldn't knowhow to explain things to him if wesent theboy away. And besides; {the palace hasn't had a childin so many years. I became soft-hearted, and so I let him stay."
I didn't expect Laura to tell me the truth that directly. Without any hesitation, I said, "Firman is a poor child. Richard killed his biological father, Kyle. But no matter what happened, the boy has nothing to do with anything."
"That makes sense. The kid is cute and incredibly polite. Whenever he sees me, he greets me so sweetly. I think as long:as Lucy doesn't do anything reckless anymore, Firman will still ké brought up as Richard's son. After all, it's already been annaunced that he is part of the royal family. We can't reallyctel the pablic now that Richard's wife cheated on him and gave birth to a bastard son, can we?" Laura sighed. Her tone dropped and her voice became serious, penetrating. "But if Lucy decides to play any kind of trick ever again, I won't hesitate to act.”
I felt helpless. Laura was a woman of her word. One reckless move from Lucy and Laura will be onto her like a wolf would stalk and kill its prey.
l just hoped that Lucy would keep her head level. Because if she would not, poor Firman would be forced to live in shame for the rest of his life.
