    Chapter 1417


    "I just hope that she will have a ce to stay before she finishes her studies.She’s a poor girl, so I have


    to be responsible while she grows up.I hope that you can help.After she grows up and is able to live by


    herself, she won''t ask for anything from your family anymore."


    Edward was surprised when he heard that.


    Women who remarried would usually want the man t o ept their children, but she was thinking about


    this from his perspective.He didn’t like the idea of Jenna bringing her daughter along.He was a


    businessman, so he would be worried that a woman who married him with a child would have bad


    intentions, and on top of that, he already had a daughter.


    After Jenna said all that, he asked if she was alright if he didn’t announce their rtionship with the


    Xaviers, and she agreed.


    Edward snapped out of that and looked at her, "It’s time to address me."


    Lucy was surprised.


    Seeing that she was just standing there, ine nudged her.


    "Why are you just standing there? Call him Dad."


    The ‘Mr.Xavier'' that she was calling him, turned into ‘ Dad’.


    Edward nodded.


    "Come back anytime you want.Our home is your home too."


    ‘Our home is your home too’ made Lucy tear up.Even though Lucy was a part of the Xaviers, she had


    always reminded herself that that wasn’t her home but just a temporary ce.ine hugged her by her


    shoulders.


    "You’re my sister from now on."


    Lucy lowered her head and wiped away her tears while smiling.


    Maisie was happy for Lucy.


    After the event, Lucy and the Xaviers walked to the door.


    Edward stopped and turned to look at her.


    "Lucy, your mother cares about you a lot.When she first married me, she was worried that I wouldn’t


    ept you, so she begged me and agreed not to announce to the world our rtionship.She did all


    that for you."


    Lucy was stunned.


    Edward patted her shoulder.


    "Go home and talk to her when you have time.She’s a good mother and wishes you will understand


    one day."


    Edward got into the car.


    ine turned back to look at her and whispered, "We''re going the opposite way, so we can’t drive


    you.You have a ride anyway."


    She then looked behind Lucy.


    Lucy stood there until the car drove away.She turned around, saw Hector walking down the stairs, and


    paused.


    "Y-You’re not back yet?"


    "No, I was talking to Maisie and Nn."


    Hector stopped in front of her and looked at his watch.


    "Want to take a walk?"


    Lucy paused.


    "You want to take a walk?"


    "Yes, I’ve had a bit too much to drink.I need to sober up."


    "I’ll go with you then."


    The neon lights at the pier looked beautiful.


    Cars drove on the wide streets, and the headlights shone.


    The two of them walked along the bridge as adim yellow light shone on them.


    Hector looked sideways at her, "Are you happy that your stepfather finally epted you into the


    family?"

    Lucy smiled, "Yes."


    She then looked down because it was unbelievable.


    "I never dared think that he would one day ept me, and I didn’t know that my mother begged him for


    me to stay with them."


    She had been under the impression that her mother never wanted to admit who she was and was


    afraid she would mess up her new life.
