Five years later.
In the banquet held by the Foster Group…
Lucas stood on the second floor of the Foster family. This was just a small banquet that was prepared for some long-term partners in the company. But unexpectedly, someone of the Cooper family, which had always wanted to be isolated from the Foster family all their lives also came.
His eyes turned to look at the middle-aged man in the crowd. The man’s eyebrows vaguely looked like Olivia’s.
He was Owen, Olivia’s elder brother. He had seen this man at his wedding with Olivia.
Thinking of Olivia, a flash of gloom flashed in Lucas’s eyes.
This word was still taboo to him.
He observed others, unaware that he was also being observed by others.
“Lucas! Oh my God! There he is!”
“So handsome, in your opinion, why he doesn’t have a spouse yet!”
“I heard that he is very fond of his ex-wife. After his ex-wife passed away, he doesn’t have any other woman!”
“He’s so good. He’s handsome, wealthy and even loyal of love…”
A few women in dresses were whispering. Their eyes lit up when they looked at Lucas. In their view, Lucas was undoubtedly the first choice among wealthy men that could be their husband. Even if he had a marriage before, but with such great wealth, was this considered a problem?
When Owen heard the women’s discussion around him, sarcasm flashed in his eyes. Look, Olivia, this was how Lucas, whom you had been missing very much looked like. He was still an extremely arrogant person in people’s view.
Whereas, even if you rotted in the soil, nobody knew also.
The bottom part of his clothes was suddenly tugged. He looked down and saw a little girl in a goose yellow dress with wonder in her eyes, “Owen…”
Owen quickly glanced around and whispered when no one was looking, “Why are you here alone?”
“Dr. Blake said he was going to meet an old friend so he asked me to come and find you.” The little girl blinked her big eyes in pure innocence.
Her facial features were very similar to Olivia’s but her face was more rounded. She was more lovely and splendid than Olivia.
She was exactly like Olivia who had not encountered obstacles when she was in her childhood. She was exactly the same as Olivia when she was young.
Lucas’s gaze fell on the little girl in the crowd. He suddenly could not utter a word. The glass in his hand was gripped so tightly that it had creaking sounds.
His eyes were stern. As if he had thought of something, he casually dropped the wine glass and rushed down the stairs.
Owen was teaching Janet, “Don’t run around alone next time. There are many people here. If you get lost, what can we do to find you?”
Janet pouted her lips. Although she was young, she was very understanding, “Dr. Blake is over there. I saw you’re here so I came over.”
Her fingers pointed at the snack area beside her. It was indeed not far from here and could be seen in a glance. But, this glance made Owen’s face change.
Lucas was running towards them!
“Go quickly!” He immediately pushed Janet towards the door but it was still too late.
Lucas had already grabbed Janet’s arm.
His face was fierce and was with urgency as if he had been rescued from a desperate situation, “Who are you, what is your relationship with Olivia!”
His words were sonorous. All the people in the hall became quiet and looked at the scene in front of them in shock.
Those who knew Olivia revealed an expression with dawning realization while the others were bewildered. Janet’s face, on the other hand, turned pale. She was frightened.
Owen hid her behind himself and when he was facing Lucas, he did not show any weakness, “Mr. Foster, what do you want to do to my daughter?”
“She…is your daughter?” Lucas looked at them in shock until Owen nodded. The light in his eyes went out little by little.
It was normal that her elder brother’s child looked like her, right.
However, he kept feeling that there was something wrong with…that child…
Lucas looked at the little girl who poked out her head behind Owen. Looking at her curious eyes and timid look, he felt that she looked very much like Olivia.
If she did not die, was it that their child would also be at this age?
