Claiming Her Back

Chapter 173

Justin looked at Lucas with disappointment. He said, “I’ve already made a plan for you and Jessica. I’m

going to New York in a few days.

“I will meet with Jessica’s parents and apologize to them. Also, I will discuss the remarriage plan with

them, too.

“We didn’t know that Jessica was Morgan’s daughter, so we never paid attention to the formalities. This

time, we have to be polite!

“And you. You should propose to Jessica as soon as possible. If she refuses, you may try using a little

trick. I’ve got a perfect excuse for you. Tell you I’m dying and your wedding is on top of my bucket list.

You can say it’s just a wedding, only to fulfill my last wish.”

Lucas’ eyes turned cold as he learned about Justin’s idea. “Grandpa, I don’t want to remarry Jessica.”

With that, Justin slapped Lucas in the face. “Do you think you have a say in this? Ever since you di

vorced Jessica, people never stopped judging the Thomas family.

“The Davison family never gets along with us. If Jessica marries Terry, their families will combine and

suppress us. We will never be able to hold our heads high then. Do you want to see that happen?”

That was Justin’s only end. For the benefit of the Thomas family.

Marriage for love?

That was a joke to Justin.

Lucas pursed his lips. “Jessica doesn’t want to remarry me.”

“How do you know that she doesn’t want to? Did you tell Jessica that you’d fallen in love with her?”

Justin’s face darkened. He didn’t expect Lucas to be that tactless.

But anyway, given where the Thomas family was, Justin would never let Lucas step back.

Justin collected his emotions and softened his tone. “Lucas, I was too agitated. But think about what |

said. I made a good point. Jessica likes you. I can assure you that you will never meet another woman

who loves you as much as she does. She’s wealthy, pretty, and competent. Also, she has a good

personality. She’s like, one in a million, in Los Angeles.

“I know you are reserved and proud. But you have to man up. A man confesses when he meets his

woman. If you don’t tell Jessica, how can she know about your true thoughts?

“Besides, right after you and Jessica divorced, Terry started chasing Jessica with great fanfare. Do you

think he likes Jessica as much as he claims to? Aren’t you afraid that Jessica might be fooled? Some

times, women just love sweet nothings. Even if Jessica’s heart is with you, she will eventually fall for

that gallant.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Lucas still remained silent. Justin knew how rebellious Lucas was. He always had his own thoughts.

Thus, Justin stopped there. With a sigh, he said, “Well, it’s late now, You may leave now. Try to sleep

on what I said.”

With that, Lucas raised his head and tossed a glance at Justin. He responded with a blank face and

then left.

Seeing Lucas off, Justin couldn’t help but slam his hand on the bed and curse.

He thought Lucas was just too ignorant. Remarriage was not a childhood game anymore!

Lucas closed the door to Justin’s study and walked down the stairs.

When Lucas left, a small figure in a dress walked out of the shadow, right beside Justin’s study.

She sneaked to the other end of the corridor and went into her own bedroom.

That was Olivia

Lucas had found out what she did, and after having an intense fight with Justin, Lucas just left the

house.

And he hadn’t come home or mentioned how to punish Olivia in the past few days.

Justin did not bring that up, either. They acted as if nothing had happened.

But Olivia still felt nervous. She was scared by Lucas’ furious face.

So when she heard that Lucas was coming home, she sneaked to Justin’s study, eavesdropping on

their conversation.

Olivia planned to ask Rebecca for help if their conversation was about punishing Olivia

But what Lucas and Justin talked about surprised Olivia
