The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray

Chapter 1267 - 1267 New House in DC

1267 New House in DC

The following afternoon, a plane from Orange County touched down at the DC International Airport.

Lucas and the rest got inside a car and headed to their new home in DC.

It was Amelia’s first time in DC. In the backseat, she pressed her small face against the window and stared curiously at the high-rise buildings, bustling streets, and flowing traffic.

Of course, DC was much more lively and prosperous than Orange County. It had skyscrapers everywhere, which were few and far between in Orange County. Moreover, the skyscrapers each had a unique design and perfectly complemented the city’s distinctive urban planning and various green facilities. Amelia was enthralled, and she would exclaim with awe and surprise from time to time.

“Wow! Daddy, look how tall that building is! It’s just like a little mountain!

“Daddy, that garden over there is so pretty. There are so many pretty cherry blossoms!

“Mommy, look. There’s a huge inflated doll there. Can we go play there in the future?”

…

Amelia was excited.

Lucas and Cheyenne looked at Amelia with smiles and said dotingly, “Okay, we’ll bring you there to play in the future. Amelia, do you like it here in DC?”

Amelia nodded hard. “Yes, I like it! I want to take lots of photos and show them to Hailey and Matilda. I want to invite them to DC to play in the future. Daddy and Mommy, is this okay?”

Cheyenne stroked Amelia’s head gently. “Of course!”

William was smiling brightly as he looked out the window at the scenery outside.

It was his first time in DC too.

For the past few decades, he had stayed in Orange County and had almost never left California.

And thinking about it now, he found that there wasn’t much worth remembering in his earlier life.

He had lived with the Carters for years, but they hadn’t shown him any respect or kindness because he was a stepchild. There were no development opportunities for him either, so he had gradually lost his confidence and motivation to live life properly and went through many years confused and at a loss.

In addition, his ex-wife, Karen, was tough to deal with, and she had never really liked him. She had often mocked him for being worthless and not as competent as other men, and she had blamed him for wasting her youth. In the end, she had even tried to kill him for some benefits.

In hindsight, almost everything in his past was like a nightmare.

William had thought that he would live in Orange County for the rest of his life. But he didn’t expect that he would be able to spend his retirement in DC thanks to his daughter and son-in-law.

Seeing how blissful the family was, William smiled peacefully.

Soon, they arrived at their destination and stopped in front of a large villa near a lake.

There were a few exclaims of surprise when everyone saw the environment and surroundings.

Buying such a large lakeside villa with a mesmerizing view and great scenery in DC would cost several hundred million dollars.

Moreover, the villa had the same design and decoration style as their villa in the middle of Pearl Lake in Orange County. The white castle-like main building was hidden in a large area of lush flowers and plants, making the place incredibly beautiful and dreamy, like a castle by the lake.

“Daddy, is this our new home?” Amelia entered the gates of the residence and looked at the castle-like villa with wide eyes.

Lucas nodded with a smile. “How is it, Amelia? Do you like our new home?”

Amelia subconsciously nodded. “I’m going to take a look!”

She scurried into the villa like a little rabbit and began checking every room. From time to time, exclaims of astonishment rang out.

William said with awe, “This villa resembles ours in Orange County. It must have cost a lot, right?”

Lucas replied, “It’s indeed very similar in style because this place was constructed by the same architectural and design team as our Pearl Lake villa. With the similar style, we’ll be able to settle down sooner. The price wasn’t too bad, and Jordan helped with it. I didn’t pay much attention.”

William instantly knew that the villa probably cost peanuts to Lucas, which was why he didn’t pay much attention.

It left William in awe again.

Just half a year ago, he would have been extremely content with a house that cost a few hundred thousand dollars. He never thought that he would one day be able to live in a massive villa in DC worth several hundred million dollars.

Lucas and Cheyenne had previously stayed in this villa for a while, and their room and Amelia’s had been decorated well.

But William and Charlotte, who had just moved in, had much simpler rooms. There were no fancy decorations, and they looked like ordinary guest rooms.

Charlotte immediately pouted in dissatisfaction. “Why does my room look so simple? Cheyenne, Lucas, you guys don’t love me anymore!”

Lucas hurriedly explained, “I don’t know what decor styles you and William like, so I didn’t decorate your rooms much. You can decide what kind of decor you want in two days. Let the decor company help you with designing your rooms, and let me know what else you need.”

Charlotte finally felt better, but she nevertheless gave Lucas a look. “Hmph, I’ll spare you this time.”

“Charlotte!” William poked Cheyenne’s head while laughing.

The new home made everyone happy.

After everyone settled down, Lucas and Cheyenne returned to their room.

“Thank you so much, Honey!” Cheyenne said gratefully while leaning on Lucas.

Recalling everything they had experienced and the various changes over the last six months, Cheyenne felt as if she was dreaming.

If Lucas hadn’t returned, she and her family would probably still be living under the Carters, who had constantly bossed them around and upset them all the time.

If it wasn’t for Lucas, she wouldn’t have had the courage to sever ties with the Carters and completely get rid of these leeches.

If it wasn’t for Lucas, their family wouldn’t be living better and better. Not only did they have more and more money and assets, but they even moved to DC.

Now, they were living worry-free lives, and Lucas loved her so much with her, making Cheyenne feel extremely grateful and blissful.

He had said that he would make her the happiest woman in the world, and now, she really felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

“We’re married. You don’t need to thank me.” Lucas pulled Cheyenne into his arms and laid on the soft and fluffy bed behind them.

“If you insist on thanking me…”

“You… Mmph…”

Her following words disappeared into a kiss.
