Chapter 1036 - 1033: Surrogate Wife (Part 1)
"Back then, she was just after your power, selling her body to be your woman, to sleep with you, and that’s how Ivy and Lili came to be.""She was just a woman who sold her body for money, not worth your thoughts..."
"Lucas, you became the President long ago; what kind of woman can’t you have? Why do you keep thinking about that woman?!"
"Back then, she abandoned Ivy and Lili, and you, right after giving birth. You were at death’s door, lying unconscious for a week after returning from the Northern Europe forest. The ones who stayed by your side were the Admiral, Young Master Bai, and me!!"
"That woman only gave you children, there was no affection between you. It’s been three years, why keep remembering her and tormenting yourself like this?"
Isabel Grant spoke with good intentions for him.
After all, back then Eva Nightingale indeed had a contract with him, and then, to help Eva save the failing Nightingale Group, he transferred a large sum of money from the Emperor Grand Group to Eva’s name.
In fact, it was him who helped Eva recapture the Nightingale Group, an ultimate display of his affection for that woman.
Now that she’s dead, Isabel had no choice, she couldn’t let Lucas be distracted by going back to the Northern Europe forest to find her, so she could only let him give up and focus on taking care of the little one.
More so, back when Eva and Lucas were together, she utterly broke him apart. Even if she were still here, Isabel wouldn’t agree to that marriage.
She couldn’t take his life for comfort as a gamble! It was something she resolutely refused, something she absolutely couldn’t allow to happen again!!
Isabel said, "Lucas, with your noble status now, there are plenty of women. Moreover, Grandfather’s wish is for you to quickly find a First Lady. After all, you often travel and need a woman by your side."
"What’s more, the Emperor Grand Group under the Knight Clan needs a Young Madam, one who is of pure family background and elegance. I also agree with Grandfather’s opinion, and I believe you won’t go against it, right?"
Lucas Knight looked at Isabel with a faint gaze, not saying a word.
After a two-second pause, he suddenly stood up, "I’m leaving, sleep early."
Isabel: "..."
Why did she sense a hint of restrained anger from his cold tone?
He was very angry at the moment, but didn’t express it outright?
"Lucas, I’m reminding you now, hoping you’ll fulfill Grandfather’s wish soon." After all, Grandfather has cancer, and no one knows when he’ll pass, so he hopes to see a beautiful ending in his lifetime.
Before, it seemed like having heirs was enough.
But with Ming Shuai and Lili still young, the Emperor Grand Group certainly needs a Young Madam!
Grandfather truly has a lot to worry about.
Lucas Knight responded, "I don’t like anyone directing my life."
He has never been one to be led around by the nose, let alone by Grandfather! The first marriage was such a failure; the second needs to be approached with utmost caution.
As for Grandfather, he’ll definitely find the best hospitals and medical equipment for his treatment, hoping to cure him and extend his life.
Ever filial, he ended up going against Isabel’s wishes, leaving her standing there, livid: "Lucas, this is all for your own good and for the sake of our family."
"..." Lucas Knight didn’t reply and just walked away directly.
