Chapter 212


    Though Justin cared about benefits a lot, he had admitted that Louis couldn’t marry a wife with a better


    family background than Reba. Louis’ reputation was already ruined.


    But Reba was too weak to control her husband. Her son was not close to her, and she couldn’t


    teach her daughter well, either.


    If Max was still alive, Justin would still take his daughter-inw seriously, but now that Max was gone


    and Lucas was not close to Reba, Justin could just vent his anger on her.


    He paused for a moment and said, “Whatever. I don’t care if she heard it or not.”


    Even if Justin decided to wee Louis’ wife to the Thomas family, Reba wouldn’t dare to have any


    objections.


    Dwayne looked at Justin, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Thomas, actually,


    Lucas still respects Mrs. Thomas.”


    Justin frowned and said, “Fine. Tell her toe upter.”


    After all, Reba was Lucas’ mother.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Reba only caught up with Lucas when they almost reached the first floor.


    Lucas had just quarreled with Justin, and now his face looked stern.


    But Reba did have something to say. “Lucas.”


    Lucas was in a particrly bad mood, but Reba was his mother. He nced at her and suppressed


    his impatience. “What’s the matter?”


    The two of them stood on the stairs on the first floor. That was not a ce for talking.


    “Let’s go to the garden and talk there.”


    Reba then hurried to go downstairs, afraid that Lucas might refuse her.


    Lucas frowned and followed Reba.


    The two walked to the corner of the garden. The servants had done trimming the nts, so no one was


    there. It was quiet, a perfect ce for talking.


    Reba looked up at Lucas. Lucas had been very indifferent since he was a child, so Reba rarely


    had close conversations with her youngest son.


    Reba thought for a while and then carefully said, “I saw the news online today. It says Jessica…”


    Lucas frowned and said, “What’s your point?”


    Reba saw Lucas frown and was even more at a loss. “Lucas, don’t misunderstand me. I just want


    you to be happy. If you and Jessica get married again, you two can move out. There will be fewer


    conflicts in that case. Well, you must have your own thoughts. I won’t interfere. I’m just offering a piece


    of advice.”


    Lucas looked at Reba and thought of what Justin had said.


    In fact, Reba was quite miserable. She had been married into the Thomas family for forty years. Her


    husband could not stay with her, and her father-inw did not like her.


    Sometimes, Lucas wondered what kept Reba here. If Reba had been half ambitious as Jessica,


    the Thomas family wouldn’t have been so suffocating.


    Reba waited for a while, yet Lucas still did not say anything. He just gazed at Reba.


    Lucas’ gaze made Reba feel guilty. She smiled awkwardly. “Lucas, I just want you to be happy.”


    “Have you been happy all these years here?”


    Reba did not expect Lucas to suddenly ask such a question. She paused for a moment and thought


    of what Justin had just said. Her face paled. “Lucas, your grandfather…”


    “Instead of worrying about me and Jessica, why don’t you think about how to deal with Louis’ mistress?


    If her son got into this house, would you live a happy life?”


    Lucas didn’t feel like discussing his parents’ marriage. Of course, he didn’t want Reba to mind his


    business, either.


    Still, as Reba’s son, Lucas wanted her mom to stay tough.


    Even if Reba’s family was waning, it still had its clout. Reba had plenty of dowries back then.


    After getting married, she never lived a luxurious life and even became deeply religious, so she must


    have a great sum of fortune, enough to support her life even if she left the Thomas family. Lucas didn’t


    understand why she hung in.


    However, Reba didn’t think that way. She thought Lucas was despising her. Reba’s face paled


    and lowered her head, not daring to look at Lucas. “I know I’m too useless.”


    Lucas couldn’t bear to see Reba like this. He didn’t know why a noble youngdy like her would


    be someone like this. Even Olivia’s personality was much better than Reba’s.
