“What have you done to break my daughter’s heart, and you even don’t dare to let her know?”
Steven’s eyes became cold.
Lucas was Samuel’s son, but Steven would also end him if he dared to hurt Yasmeen.
In the past, Steven experienced lives in both legal and underworld means. Usually, seldom people
could stand his strong temperament, but Lucas stood upright and looked into his eyes. He said, “Let’s
wait until Aunt Ashley comes back. Probably, you should call all the members of the Bradford family
out. I can tell them all at the same time. Otherwise, they would delay the time for me to marry
Yasmeen.”
“You’ve done something to break my daughter’s heart, but you still want to marry my daughter. Lucas
Green, dream on.”
Steven’s was angrier.
Finally, Ashley came back. Steven calmed down a bit.
“I could hear you shouting before entering the house. Steve, you’d better pay attention to your identity
now. You are the lord of a country, not a gangster leader.”
Ashley glared at Steven in anger, and the latter quieted down immediately.
Lucas watched them without speaking. All the men had different ways to spoil their wives. He didn’t
need to remark on his future parents-in-law.
Ashley sat down next to Steven. Casting a glance at Lucas’s straightened back, Ashley thought about
his tone on the phone. She asked, “You didn’t bring Yasmeen back. Do you truly think we’ll allow you to
marry Yasmeen?”
“She’s the only woman I want to marry,” answered Lucas.
“Oops. Now you said that. When our Yasmeen chased after you and fawned on you back then, why
didn’t you say so?”
Since Ashley came in, Steven kept silent, letting her speak.
Honestly speaking, Steven preferred to deal with the matter violently.
Lucas answered, “I wasn’t sensible when I was young, so I didn’t understand what love was. Now I
know how to cherish her. If I missed her, I would regret it my whole life.”
Ashley frowned.
Honestly speaking, she didn’t like Lucas much.
Lucas was as scheming as Samuel. Besides, he grew up in the military since childhood, immersing in
the center of power for many years. If he wasn’t shrewd, he wouldn’t survive until now.
Besides, Lucas was quite intelligent with high EQ. Yasmeen was quite careless and worry-free. If
Lucas treated her well, it would be fine. If not, Ashley was afraid that Yasmeen would get hurt.
As Yasmeen’s mother, she didn’t expect to see that in the end.
Ashley frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “I disagree with letting Yasmeen marry you.”
“Aunt Ashley, do you have any concerns? As long as you can name it, I can give you a promise. I
swear with my moral quality and life. I will treat Yasmeen wholeheartedly and never betray her,” said
Lucas affirmatively.
Ashley didn’t have any feelings, but Steven was a little bit touched.
“Why don’t we give him a chance?” he suggested.
Ashley cast him a glance and said in a cold tone, “Don’t you miss your daughter? Who was the one
urging to take Yasmeen back? Think about it. Lucas lives in Capital City, Country Z. In the future, you
can only meet your daughter through the video conference. Can you fly over?”
“I can move to Country Y,” said Lucas when seeing that Steven was moved a bit.
Jasmine came in with Norman and Patrick. When they heard Lucas’s words, their eyes lit up.
“Dad, Mom, is Yasmeen coming back soon?” they asked.
“Shut up and sit down.”
Ashley glared at them seriously. Jasmine pulled her brothers to sit down aside.
Steven thought it was a good idea. If that was possible, he wouldn’t mind letting Lucas stay in their
house. However, Samuel would disagree.
Hence, inwardly, Steven blamed Yasmeen for falling in love with Lucas, Samuel’s son.
Steven realized that he was pretty passive now.
Even he wanted to teach Lucas a lesson, he must think about Samuel and Nicole first.
Thinking of that, Steven said to his children, “You guys, listen. In the future, if you dare to love anyone
from the Cawker or the Hawk family, I’ll break your legs. Especially the kids from the Green family, you
should stay away from them. Understand?”
The three children nodded hurriedly.
Ashley looked at Steven in disdain and said crossly, “Look at you.”
“Alas... Honey, I’m afraid to impact my friendships with my best friends.”
“Between your friendships and your children’s happiness, which one is more important? How can you
be so bossy to involve in your children’s personal lives? Do you think there would be a second Lucas
Green from those families?”
Although Ashley was scolding Steven, Lucas knew that Ashley was implying about him.
He had to admit that he had been too arrogant since childhood to appreciate Yasmeen’s love.
If he had known this girl would marry him in the end, he wouldn’t have played cool to get.
Lucas regretted it. However, since things had come this far, he lacked the time and wouldn’t retreat.
“Aunt Ashley, you are right. There is only one Lucas Green in this world, as well as only Yasmeen
Shaw. We’re a perfect match.”
“Shut up!”
Ashley had never known Lucas could be so sharp-tongued.
He hadn’t married Yasmeen yet, but he didn’t know how to pawn on his future mother-in-law. How did
he deserve Yasmeen?
“You said you had something to tell us. Now, we’re all here. Please go ahead,” Steven chimed in when
seeing that his wife was a bit angry.
However, he saw Lucas look sorry and frustrated.
“Yasmeen has been hiding a matter from you all and me. She doesn’t hope me to know it. Hence, after
I’ve known it, I still pretend I don’t know anything. However, I want to tell you, Uncle Steven, Aunt
Ashley. After all, Yasmeen is your daughter. She doesn’t want to tell you about it, but I must.”
Lucas’s words made Steven and Ashley worried. They had bad hunches. In a hurry, they asked, “What
has Yasmeen been hiding from us?”
“Do you remember I was in the hospital because of a serious injury half a year ago? A bullet was shot
across my kidney, so I needed a kidney transplant. There were limited renal sources at that time, so
Yasmeen donated her kidney to me while hiding it from everyone. That was why I survived. To be
exact, she had brought me back to life with her own life. In the past six months, she has been in poor
health condition. I want to marry her and take care of her all my life. I also hope you could agree with
me to marry her.”
“I won’t agree!”
Steven was enraged. He grabbed the ashtray next to him and smashed it onto Lucas’s face.
“Did my daughter donate a kidney to you? No wonder you suddenly changed to treat her well. It turns
out to be because of this. How dare you come to ask us for our permission to marry her! You have a
death wish, don’t you?”
Steven stood up in anger, and so did Norman and Patrick. The three men gazed at Lucas, wishing they
could cut him into pieces.
