"Later, Mario's parents asked Mario to marry into the Ford Family. Mario tried to escape the marriage,
but he failed and was imprisoned by his parents." Lucas then continued, "After Mario was imprisoned,
the Griffin and Ford Families announced their union to the public. After my mother knew about it, she
approached the Griffin Residence with her marriage certificate. It was only then that she knew that the
marriage certificate in her hand was fake. At that time, she was pregnant with me and was about to
give birth…"
"Your mother is so unlucky." Leigh showed sympathy. "If it were me, I would have poisoned Mario to kill
that scumbag!"
Lucas stayed silent at that remark.
Then, Leigh asked, "What happened after that?"
"After that?" Lucas sighed. "Later, Mario's fiancée knew my mother was pregnant with Mario's child, so
she went to my mother and asked Mom to abort the child. At that time, my mother was only a dozen
days away from giving birth, so she was reluctant to abort me. Hence, Mario's fiancée sent someone to
my grandparents' house to cause trouble. They also made everyone know that my mother was a
mistress and the child in her womb was an illegitimate child…"
Leigh didn't say anything as she couldn't comment on it.
What Mario's fiancée did should be acceptable from an unbiased standpoint.
It was because no one wanted their husband to have an illegitimate child before the marriage.
However, Lucas' mother was innocent.
She didn't mean to be a mistress and have an illegitimate child. She was deceived by Mario, after all.
She had always thought she was the first wife with a marriage certificate and was carrying a child from
wedlock. However, everything was fake.
Lucas' mother was deceived by the man she loved.
So, Leigh could imagine the despair in Lucas' mother's heart when she knew all this.
Aborting the child was the best choice for her, but the child would be born in ten days. After ten months
of pregnancy, how many women would be cruel enough to abort the child?
Mario's fiancée was right, and Lucas' mother was wrong for not being smart enough and trusting Mario
too much. The worst was Mario, who hurt both women at the same time.
Lucas sipped his wine and continued, "My grandparents are teachers. They abided by the law and
educated students for their whole lives. Suddenly, their good daughter became a mistress and was
pregnant with an illegitimate child. My grandpa was frail in health, so he fell ill on the day the Ford
Family came to look for trouble, and he passed away within a few days. My grandma loved Grandpa,
so she couldn't stand the blow and passed away soon after."
At that, Leigh could only say, "It's tragic."
"Yeah, it's tragic." Lucas sighed. "I was born on the day my grandpa died. Not long after I was born, my
grandma died. My mother didn't care for her health during her pregnancy, so her health failed after
giving birth to me. After slightly over two years, she passed away." Lucas then laughed at himself.
"Don't you think I'm more of a jinx than you are?"
"Didn't you say it yourself? Jinxes don't exist," Leigh stated.
"Do you believe it?" Lucas raised his eyebrows at her. "If you believe that the jinx doesn't exist, I will do
the same."
So, Leigh nodded firmly. "I believe in it. Jinxes don't exist. On the other hand, one's character
determines fate instead. Your grandpa valued his reputation too much. After your mother was deceived
and accidentally became the mistress everyone despised, he couldn't stand the humiliation to the point
his health failed and he passed away. Your grandma and grandpa were deeply in love, so she was
heartbroken and couldn't handle the sadness and passed away. As for your mother, she did not rest
well during her pregnancy and destroyed her body, so she must have been depressed. Her health and
worries mixed together for two years before it finally killed her. Hence, their characters decide their life;
it has nothing to do with you."
Lucas commented, "Then, the death of your adoptive parents has nothing to do with you too."
"I'm different!" Leigh shook her head. "My parents died violently… They died in a car accident."
"What about your grandpa and master?" Lucas asked, to which Leigh replied, "My grandpa also died in
a car accident. My master died of illness."
"There are more people who die from accidents than diseases in this world," Lucas murmured. "It can't
be said that their relatives are all jinxes, right?"
After thinking for a while, Leigh nodded. "Okay, you have a point." Then, she paused and continued, "I
won't believe it anymore, and neither should you."
To that, Lucas muttered, "I never believed it in the first place."
"That's great." Leigh stared at the man as she asked, "Did Mario ever look for you after your mother
passed away?"
"He did." He then explained, "However, my mother hid me, so Mario couldn't find me. On the day she
passed away, she took me along and we met my brother and father. Before she passed on, she
begged my father and brother to help me find an orphanage. My brother liked me, so they did not send
me to the orphanage. Hence, my father adopted me. Before my mother passed away, she didn't tell my
father who my biological father was. She said I was an illegitimate child and begged my father to send
me to the orphanage…"
"Stop!" She woved her hond ot him to interrupt him. "You're drunk ond hove storted tolking nonsense. I
don't understond you onymore!"
Lucos frowned in silence. Hey! I'm not drunk! Alright, I did drink quite o lot, but i twos unknowingly.
Now, my mind is o little dizzy ond moybe I sounded incoherent. However, it feels greot to soy
everything thot is in my mind ofter bottling up these things for for too long.
So, he osked potiently, "Whot do you not understond? I'll exploin it to you."
However, Leigh held her chin in thought ond soid, "I forgot…"
At thot, Lucos poused for o beot before he muttered, "You should go to bed."
"I'm not tired yet." She tilted her heod to look ot him. "When did your fother know you were odopted by
Philip?"
"Two yeors ogo," come his reply.
"He only found out the yeor before?" Leigh widened her eyes in surprise. "Didn't he love your mother?
Didn't he look for you when your mother disoppeored with you?"
"Morio did." Lucos continued, "He's been looking for us oll this while. However, Mom took me into
hiding ond we lived in seclusion, so he couldn't find me. Morio's porents forbode him to moke o big deol
of it too. After my fother odopted me, he didn't wont onyone to know I wos on illegitimote child. He
erosed the clues obout my mother ond me, so Morio couldn't find me."
"If thot's the cose, how did he find you three yeors ogo?" she osked.
"After oll these yeors, Morio's fother hos grown old ond wonted o grondson. However, Morio's wife is
menopousol ond con no longer give birth to o child. Moreover, the Griffin Fomily needs o mon to corry
on the lineoge." As he soid, he sorcosticolly curled his lips. "So, Morio's fother thought of me, the
illegitimote son, ond devoted the fomily resources to feverishly seorch for me. My oppeoronce is similor
to Morio's. Although Morio's fother hod no evidence, he did not let go of the only clue he hod. He hired
someone to steol my hoir ond did o poternity test with Morio. So, my lineoge wos exposed."
Leigh then pressed, "After your birth wos reveoled, whot wos your stepmother's reoction?"
"Stop!" She waved her hand at him to interrupt him. "You're drunk and have started talking nonsense. I
don't understand you anymore!"
Lucas frowned in silence. Hey! I'm not drunk! Alright, I did drink quite a lot, but i twas unknowingly.
Now, my mind is a little dizzy and maybe I sounded incoherent. However, it feels great to say
everything that is in my mind after bottling up these things for far too long.
So, he asked patiently, "What do you not understand? I'll explain it to you."
However, Leigh held her chin in thought and said, "I forgot…"
At that, Lucas paused for a beat before he muttered, "You should go to bed."
"I'm not tired yet." She tilted her head to look at him. "When did your father know you were adopted by
Philip?"
"Two years ago," came his reply.
"He only found out the year before?" Leigh widened her eyes in surprise. "Didn't he love your mother?
Didn't he look for you when your mother disappeared with you?"
"Mario did." Lucas continued, "He's been looking for us all this while. However, Mom took me into
hiding and we lived in seclusion, so he couldn't find me. Mario's parents forbade him to make a big deal
of it too. After my father adopted me, he didn't want anyone to know I was an illegitimate child. He
erased the clues about my mother and me, so Mario couldn't find me."
"If that's the case, how did he find you three years ago?" she asked.
"After all these years, Mario's father has grown old and wanted a grandson. However, Mario's wife is
menopausal and can no longer give birth to a child. Moreover, the Griffin Family needs a man to carry
on the lineage." As he said, he sarcastically curled his lips. "So, Mario's father thought of me, the
illegitimate son, and devoted the family resources to feverishly search for me. My appearance is similar
to Mario's. Although Mario's father had no evidence, he did not let go of the only clue he had. He hired
someone to steal my hair and did a paternity test with Mario. So, my lineage was exposed."
Leigh then pressed, "After your birth was revealed, what was your stepmother's reaction?"
