Samuel thought Lucas was fun. He was like he was when he was a kid. He was a little arrogant and
stubborn, and he didn't want to owe anyone else.
He used to think it was bad for him to do so, but now when he saw Lucas, he suddenly felt that there
was nothing wrong with doing so.
It should be a lot of fun to have such a cute little son, right?
It was a pity that he missed the five years of his growth, which was the regret of his life.
“Did your mother ever tell you that you are actually stubborn?”
Samuel teased Lucas.
Lucas was just hesitating whether to continue to hate Samuel. Hearing this, he was a little depressed.
“My mommy only told me that I was very much like my unreliable dad.”
“Unreliable?”
Samuel felt that he had been wronged.
Why was he unreliable?
But now that his son was a little stubborn donkey that needed to be gently stroked, Samuel was not
angry.
“Tell me about your mommy's life over the past five years.”
The saddest thing for Samuel was that he hadn't been with Nicole and their son for five years. He knew
more or less how much the fire had affected Nicole, but it was different to hear Lucas say it himself.
Lucas was a little angry, but he whispered, “I was young and didn't know very well. I just heard
Godfather say that in the first two years, Mommy never dared to close her eyes, go out or see
something with light. Godfather also said that Mommy suffered from depression for a period of time and
wanted to jump down from the 32nd floor. If Godfather hadn't found it in time, there might be no
Mommy now.”
Lucas’s voice was getting smaller and smaller, but Samuel's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
“Depression?”
“Yes, I checked it online. Depression is not easy to treat. Godfather said that if it wasn't for me, Mommy
would really not want to live.”
Nicole really suffered too much at that time. When the child she desperately gave birth to was
diagnosed with congenital renal failure and could only live for a few years, Nicole felt that her world had
collapsed.
Zoe was tortured by medical equipment at a young age. If it wasn't for Lucas, Nicole might have
jumped out of the building with Zoe in her arms.
At that time, she thought it was boring to live.
Her husband abandoned her and even wanted her and the baby to die. Her baby was born sick, and
she was burned by the fire and couldn't meet anyone. At the moment when the baby opened her eyes,
her appearance scared the baby to cry.
It was a fatal blow to Nicole that her hard-earned child rejected her embrace.
If it wasn't for Allen’s daily guard and company and Lucas's cleverness, maybe Nicole would not have
been able to hold on.
But Lucas didn't know about it and would not tell Samuel clearly, but Samuel could imagine it.
How desperate a woman needed to be to jump off a building with her baby!
The damage he did to Nicole was so great! Although he was unintentional.
At the thought of this, Samuel felt unable to forgive himself.
“Call Jacob and ask him to give everyone to Jason. I don’t care what the Don family does. I want to
know the truth, including what happened to the fire five years ago.”
At this time, the coldness of Samuel made Lucas a little stunned. He suddenly found that Samuel was
actually a very powerful man.
Lucas looked at Samuel and was a little dumbfounded.
Then Samuel realized that Lucas was not his subordinate but his son. He softened his tone and said,
“your mommy and you have suffered so much. I can't let those villains who hurt you go unpunished. I
have to let those people experience what your mother has suffered.”
Lucas was in a better mood when he heard this.
“I know who tried to kill my mommy, but you won't believe it.”
Lucas's words made Samuel a little confused.
“Why?”
“Because she's your son’s mommy.”
Lucas lowered his head and played with his fingers with both hands and frowned. He obviously
rejected the fact that Samuel had another son.
Samuel was very smart and immediately understood who Lucas was talking about.
“You heard something, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I've already recorded it and handed it to my mommy. I know you won't punish her, and I know
she's Joseph's mom. Joseph is my best friend, but I just don't feel well.”
Lucas himself was embarrassed and hesitant.
He didn’t know how he became good friends with Joseph. At first he decided to hate Joseph, but
Joseph was stupid and liked to play with him.
Unconsciously, he took Joseph as a good friend. Now Joseph's mommy has hurt his mommy. What
should he do?
Lucas was still a child after all. Such an emotional choice put him in a dilemma.
Samuel looked at his son like this and was more or less distressed.
“Lucas, Joseph is not my own son. You are my only son.”
This made Lucas look up.
“But...”
“Joseph is the son of my twin brother, your own uncle. You are brothers anyway. Now my brother is
dead, and Joseph is a posthumous son. I can't let him be talked about by others, so he can only be my
son. You also have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you are brothers and have
to help each other, you know?”
Samuel knew that he said a lot of things, and Lucas may not understand them, but what he wanted to
express was clear to Lucas.
Lucas looked at Samuel blankly, but he suddenly understood Samuel's entrustment. He nodded his
head and firmly said, “don’t worry. I'll never let anyone bully Joseph in the future. He will always be my
brother.”
Samuel's eyes were a little wet. He seemed to see himself and Vincent decades ago. At that time,
Vincent also patted his chest and said, “Samuel, you are smarter than me. I will exercise more. If
anyone dares to bully you in the future, I will beat him up.”
Now those vows were still ringing in his ears, but Vincent was not here.
Samuel was a little sad.
Lucas sensed it sensitively.
“Did I say anything wrong?”
“No, I just think of my brother, who is not very clever but is very kind to me.”
Samuel wanted to smile at Lucas, but he couldn't.
In his heart, the most vulnerable place was always reserved for his family.
Lucas had never seen a man sad. He looked at Samuel in front of him and suddenly reached out his
little hand and whispered, “you can hold my hand. Mommy has said that one person's sorrow will be
shared with the other, and the two people will share the sorrow together, so your sorrow will be less.”
Samuel suddenly wanted to cry, but he was a man after all, and he still resisted.
He gently took Lucas’s hand and said with a smile, “your mommy taught you very well.”
“Yes, my mommy is the best in the world! Samuel, if you don’t cherish her, you will regret it!”
Lucas said it like a grown-up.
Samuel smiles.
“I'll treat you and your mommy like treasure”
“There is another person you should treat well. But now it’s a secret. Mommy will tell you! She is an
angel.”
Lucas smiled happily.
Thinking of Zoe, he couldn't help smiling.
Zoe was really an angel. She was an angel for him, Mommy and Godfather. He believed Zoe would be
Samuel's angel, too.
But Samuel didn’t know who Lucas was talking about. He thought it was Allen. For a moment, he was a
little jealous, but he thought of Allen's company and protection for them in the past five years. Samuel
could only restrain jealousy.
He should thank Allen!
But emotionally, he also knew that Allen is his rival. Obviously, Lucas liked Allen very much.
“Lucas, you like Allen, don't you?”
“Of course. Godfather is very kind to me. He has asked someone to teach me these skills.”
Lucas was particularly proud when he talked about Allen, which deeply hurt Samuel.
“In fact, your computer technology is not perfect. Although Allen has asked someone to teach you, it is
not good enough. I will teach you another day.”
Lucas just wanted to say no, but when he thought of his nearly disastrous defeat in the competition with
Samuel, he reluctantly said, “I'm still young. Don't bully young people.”
“You know a lot. Your language ability is improving very fast. Did your mommy teach you that?”
“I read by myself. There are a lot of books in Godfather’s house. I like to be there when I'm free.”
Lucas mentioned Allen from time to time. Samuel only felt that the thorn in his heart was getting more
and more painful.
“If you like, I'll buy you the whole library.”
“Godfather said that if you really like something, you can't take it for yourself. You should share it. In
particular, you can't be too selfish to share knowledge with others. So you don't need to buy the whole
library for me. I'll go to the library and read books myself.”
Lucas’ words made Samuel more and more depressed.
“Besides your godfather, do you admire others?”
“No, my godfather is really excellent! He’s good at business and fencing and running. My godfather can
do anything.”
The more Lucas said that, the more jealous Samuel was.
His wife had been taken care of by another man for five years, which was enough to make him
depressed. Besides, the man liked Nicole and his son adored his rival. Was that right?
What could he do to make Lucas look up to him?
