“Lucas, the Nolan family is different from others. We may have parents, but they never cared about us. We would’ve starved to death if it weren’t for our grandparents who brought us up. After our grandparents passed away, Ashlyn treated Blair and me very well. It was her who settled the issue when Blair fought with Tinsor. She was also the one who dealt with the matter when Blair fought with others in the school. Every time I got into trouble or almost got conned, she was the one who helped me. Even this time, Ashlyn was the one who saved me.”
Naomi’s suppressed emotions erupted all of a sudden. She pretended to be happy and strong in front of Ashlyn and Blair, but that facade came crashing down in front of Lucas. Naomi sobbed pitifully and asked, “Lucas, why can’t you get Ashlyn back? Why did you get divorced from Ashlyn?”
Lucas held back whatever he was about to say and stared at the crying girl in front of him, dumbstruck.
Naomi was still young and had just reached adulthood not long ago. All that had happened that day was all caused by his negligence.
She was right. Things would have been irreparable if it had not been for Ashlyn.
Lucas sighed, and pain flashed across his deep eyes.
He extended his arms and took the initiative to hug his sister for the first time despite knowing that they were not related by blood.
However, Naomi and Blair did not know that. They had always treated Lucas as their brother, respecting and fearing him.
Lucas pulled Naomi into an embrace and patted her back softly, saying, “I’ve wronged all of you. I’m sorry. I’ve also wronged Ashlyn. It’s all my fault.”
All of a sudden, the almighty Lucas got off his high horse.
Naomi gazed at him in disbelief with tears in her eyes.
She was distraught that day. Naomi was filled with hurt, regret, guilt, and hatred that she was dumb enough to fall into Marcus’ trap.
However, she was grateful that Ashlyn had arrived there in time.
“I’ll leave a few bodyguards with you and send an assistant from Nolan Entertainment to take care of you. Since you want to be an actress and have Ashlyn’s support, I’ll no longer stop you, but safety is always the priority. No one can bully a daughter of the Nolan family,” said Lucas, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.
Marcus, you dared to bully my sister. It seems you have a death wish!
At the Field residence, Fae was helping Charlotte pack her luggage.
“Bring more clothes. You must bring these skincare products too.”
Fae could not bear the thought of not seeing Charlotte for some time.
Joseph was shocked when he saw the two big luggage bags. He asked, “Mom, why is there so much luggage?”
“One to store clothes, the other to keep daily necessities and some snacks that Lottie likes. I’m afraid she won’t be accustomed to the food overseas as they have different tastes, so I prepared more food for her.” Fae became more upset as she spoke.
“Joseph and I will be back soon, Mum.” Charlotte sat beside Fae and consoled her.
“Joseph and I will be back soon, Mum.” Charlotte sat beside Fae and consoled her.
They were leaving for Maredania in the afternoon.
Charlotte was reluctant to part with Fae as the latter treated her well and cared for her as a mother would.
“Let’s get something to eat.” Fae patted Charlotte’s hand and headed toward the kitchen.
The dishes were served very soon.
Charlotte’s eyes lit up and formed crescents as she smiled when she saw the familiar chicken soup. “It’s good,” she said.
That was her favorite soup, and it made her feel at home.
Fae smiled and said, “Ashlyn likes this chicken soup too.”
At two o’clock in the afternoon, Joseph and Charlotte got into the car and left for the airport.
Charlotte felt awkward at the thought that she would soon need to be alone with Joseph for an extended period of time.
She sat in the backseat with him and did not dare to look at him, so she could only pretend to watch the scenery outside the window.
His fresh scent occasionally wafted into her nose, causing her to blush, and her heart beat quickly.
