Chapter 166


    "Lucy''s going to inherit half of the fortune, meaning she''ll have to manage her share herself. To get


    the hang of it, she needs to live at my ce for a couple of years. My dad and I can guide her."


    "I can also give her some tips on the business side of things."


    Ethan fell silent for a moment before saying, "If you can''t stand being apart from Lucy, then move in


    with her at our ce. We''ve got plenty of room; one more won''t make a difference."


    Stefan didn''t respond.


    "Just giving you a heads-up, once the DNA test results are out, I''ll ask my dad toe over. After


    getting Lucy''s opinion, we''ll take her back to Skywatch. Once we''re back, we''ll have to do more


    paternity tests, and there''s a bunch of stuff to deal with. We can talk about how long Lucy will stay


    later."


    Ethan thought highly of Stefan and trusted himpletely with his sister.


    But he had been separated from his sister for over twenty years. Their mother had a breakdown


    after losing her daughter, and he hoped Lucinda could spend some time with their mother.


    He didn''t want to part with Lucinda either.


    Stefan knew it was premature to discuss these matters, so he just nodded and said, "We''ll talk


    about itter. But before you make any decisions, make sure to ask Lucy. You can''t force her if


    she''s not on board."


    He felt somewhat helpless.


    Before he married Lucinda, he and Ike Moore got along just fine. But once he married Lucinda, Ike''s


    attitude changed entirely.


    Ike always badmouthed him in front of Lucy and his inws, always trying to drag him down.


    Stefan could handle Ike.


    But he didn''t expect Lucinda to have a biological brother. This brother was even harder to deal with


    than Ike, considering he was an heir to a big family and was in no way inferior to Stefan. From now


    on, he would have to deal with both of Lucinda''s brothers.


    Stefan felt helpless just thinking about it.


    He had finally waited for Lucinda to grow up and was finally able to marry her, but her brothers had


    be his biggest obstacles.


    "Of course I will respect my sister''s wishes; I won''t force her to do anything she doesn''t want."


    Now that Ethan had found his biological sister, he would do everything he could to protect her. He


    wouldn''t force her to do anything she didn''t want.


    "Today, I entrust my wife''s safety to you."


    Ethan promised, "Don''t worry, as long as I''m here, they won''t be harmed."


    Not just his sister, but his mother too.


    They were both his responsibility.


    He couldn''t rely on his father; he had to be the one his mother and sister could rely on.


    Ethan worked extremely hard at Blue Corporation. Not just because he was the heir and had many


    responsibilities, but because he knew only by bing strong could he protect those he wanted to


    protect.


    If he were weak, his mother could be killed.


    Although his father was currently in love with Madeleine, Ethan was still grateful to him. At least


    when it came to his upbringing, his father had always been responsible and didn''t let others


    intervene.


    If it hadn''t been like that, those with ambitions might have turned him into a useless man long ago.


    "Lucy rose early to prepare a lot of delicious food for you guys; go back and eat it. Don''t waste her


    hard work. I''m her husband, and I get to taste her breakfast because of you guys."


    "But I was the first one to taste this soup, and it''s really good!"


    Ethan was speechless.


    What a domineering guy! And a jealous one too.


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    There was a high chance that he and his mother were Lucy''s biological mother and brother. Lucy


    had made soup and dishes for them, but Stefan was jealous. His level of envy was just too high.


    "You better leave, go to work, and earn more money so you can give more wedding gifts in the


    future."


    Ethan waved his hand, urging Stefan to leave.


    "I''m going back to drink the soup Lucy made for me; don''t worry, I''ll finish it and won''t leave a drop


    for you."


    Without even saying goodbye to Stefan, Ethan turned around and left.


    Watching Ethan''s retreating figure, Stefan muttered to himself, "Lucy said we''re spending a lifetime


    together. She has a lifetime to cook for me; even if you''re her real brother, you can only taste it


    asionally!"


    Ethan had gone too far to hear him.


    No matter how reluctant, Stefan had to go back to work.


    In Ethan''s words, he had to earn more money to give her wedding gifts and would never let Lucy


    suffer.


    Just as Stefan returned to his office, Ike arrived.


    Even when discussing business matters, seeing Ike walk in gave Stefan an urge to kick him out.


    Of course, it was just a thought. He would never dare act on it.


    Ethan was Lucy''s biological brother, but Ike and Lucinda had grown up together, and their bond was


    very strong.


    Back in their student days, everyone knew that Ike was extremely protective of his sister.


    If Stefan really kicked Ike out, he would have to start sleeping in the study tonight!


    "What''s up? You''re not happy to see me? You''re not weing me?"


    Ike sat down across from Stefan, staring at him, and asked with a smile, "Lucy''s not here; my


    coming here doesn''t bother you two. Who''s that serious face for?"


    Stefan, with a straight face, replied, "This is how I am at work."


    Ikeughed, saying, "You always had that ''no strangers allowed'' look at school. Both boys and girls


    found it hard to get close to you. I thought you were sort of nice to me because we were from the


    same city, now I see that you were just being nice because of my sister. I thought you were my


    friend, but all you wanted was to marry my sister."


    Stefan: "Who said ssmates can''t marry their ssmates'' sisters?"


    Ike paused for a bit, then said with augh, "Chill out, man. I''vee to terms with reality. I''m not


    going to try to butt in between you and Lucy. You''re slick as a fox, dude. Once Lucy met you, she


    was totally hooked. She''s into you, so there''s nothing I can do."


    Lucy''s already got a thing for Stefan. She''s ready to give her heart to him; what''s he going to do


    about it? He''s got to respect her choice.


    "Did you track down the jerk who kidnapped Lucy?"


    "Not yet, but we''re hot on the trail. I believe we''ll get to the bottom of it soon."


    In a deep voice, Stefan said, "Ike, there''s something you need to know. Your sister''s going to be


    swept off her feet by another guy soon."


    Hearing this, Ike''s eyes widened, saying, "Stefan, can''t you watch out for Lucy? You''re really letting


    me down!"
