“Alright. Lucas, you’re a brave boy.”
Shaun squatted down and patted him on the shoulder. “I believe in you.”
Lucas pouted. “I’m doing this for Mommy. I want Mommy to hurry up and divorce Wesley. I don’t want people to keep calling her Wesley’s wife.”
Cate’s throat was feeling tight. She looked down at Lucas. “Lucas, it’ll be dangerous tonight. Are you sure?”
“I’m not scared, Mommy. I don’t want to hide behind you all the time. It’ll make me look useless,” Lucas said seriously.
Cate smiled bitterly. She really did not want the children to give themselves too much pressure, but Lucas was determined. She was helpless.
“Cate, I promise you with my life. I’ll ensure Lucas ¡® safety.”
Shaun swore solemnly.
Cate’s mind was in turmoil. “Will the Mead family agree if you only bring one of them?”
“Hannah hasn’t gotten me yet, so she’ll speak up for me.” A mocking smile appeared on Shaun’s face.
Cate was slightly speechless.
However, when she looked at his handsome face, she could somewhat understand Hannah’s thoughts.
Shaun had rejected Hanah before, and she was unhappy that she could not obtain him. Moreover, Shaun really was the cream of the crop. After all, he was once the richest man in the country. Any woman would want to conquer him.
She stopped paying attention to him and lowered her head to hug Lucas. “Promise me this. No matter what happens, your safety is the most important.”
“Okay. Don’t worry, Mommy.”
Lucas kissed her and turned around to give Shaun a side glance. “Let’s go.”
Shaun did not move. He looked at Cate a little unnaturally. “Cate, do you have anything to say to me?”
“Like what?” Cate’s face was indifferent as she pretended not to see the expectant light in his eyes.
Shaun, “…”
“Your safety is not that important to my mom.” Lucas stabbed him coolly.
Shaun gritted his teeth. Forget it. After he finished solving the matter at hand, he would pursue her again.
After they left, Cate dialed Eliza’s phone number. “I’m sorry. I… can’t leave tonight…”
Even-ing, 6:3o p.m.
Outside the manor, there were rows of luxurious but low-key cars parked.
Shaun parked the car and opened the passenger door. Lucas jumped out from inside while dressed in a handsome little suit.
“Darling, you’re here.” Hannah walked over in a long blue dress, looking elegant and dignified.
When she saw Lucas, a dark glint of displeasure flashed in the depths of her eyes.
This was her first time seeing Shaun’s son. He looked so much like Cate.
She was deeply revolted.
However, it did not matter. As long as she was around, this child’s life would not be easy in the future.
“Why did you only bring one? Aren’t they twins?” Hannah held Shaun’s arm and said unhappily, “I told my parents that you’ll bring a son and a daughter over.”
“Do you think I didn’t want to? Cate refused. I even argued with her.” Shaun looked at Hannah meaningfully. “Besides, is a daughter or a son more important?”
“You’re right. ” Hannah immediately understood. The richer people were, the more they valued sons.
Since Shaun had brought his son here, it was clear that he was putting his heart into expressing his loyalty to the Mead family.
She bent down and looked at Lucas. “What’s your name?”
“Lucas Cox,” he said expressionlessly.
“What a good boy.” Hannah grinned. “How about I be your stepmother in the future? Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well.”
Lucas was shocked by this woman’s shamelessness.
“I think he’s overjoyed to hear that, ” Shaun rubbed Lucas’ head and said with a doting face.
Lucas, “..”
This man was also quite shameless.
“I’ll bring you guys in.” Hannah held Shaun’s hand and walked inside. “There are many guests tonight. Prime Minister Snow’s family is here too, as well as Wesley… You won’t mind, right?”
She stole a glance at Shaun and said helplessly, “My dad trusts Wesley a lot. You’d better avoid Wesley later.”
“I know.” Shaun nodded and smiled mockingly. “I don’t remember much about the past, but the winner makes the rules while the losers live by them. I’m willing to gamble.”
“Look at how sensible you are now. You were too stubborn before. ” Hannah grinned. “Back then, I was the one who pursued you but you didn’t like me. If you had gotten together with me back then, you’d be my dad’s favorite now. Wesley wouldn’t even be in the picture.”
Shaun smiled without saying anything.
After entering the banquet hall, he was amazed by the luxurious scene inside.
It was a buffet, but every dish was incredibly expensive. Each dish was worth a house, and some of the snacks were even more expensive than diamonds.
A female guest on the side held a plate of chocolate cake and said emotionally, “This cake is so delicious. I’ve never had such a delicious cake before.”
The waiter said, “These desserts were all handmade by the top patissiers in Country Y, and the ingredients used, from chocolate to caviar, are all top quality. This Fortress Stilt Fisherman Indulgence also uses the best cream from the country of Aller. They’re all fresh ingredients that were flown in this morning.”
“I see. It seems like I’ll be able to enjoy some delicacies thanks to Minister Mead tonight.”
The guests all ate extremely happily and had a new perception of the Mead family’s status.
Hannah also said to Shaun proudly, “My dad invited the world-famous chef, Charles. Most of the dishes tonight were prepared by him. You definitely haven’t tried them before, so I’ll let you try them now.”
“Wait.” Shaun held her hand. “Since I’m here, I should go and congratulate your father first.
Otherwise, it would seem too rude.”
Maybe later. My dad is meeting a guest upstairs. It’s not a good idea to go up and disturb him now.”
Hannah glanced at the second floor and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
“Okay.” Shaun pretended not to notice. After nodding, he bent down and said to Lucas, “I’ll get you something to eat.”
Lucas was not interested in the food but nodded obediently.
After eating some seafood, he could not help but think that it would be good if Suzie were here. That glutton would definitely love to be able to eat these things.
It seemed that he would have to bring some food back with him when things were over.
After he was full, Hannah said to Shaun, “There’s a small playground at the back where many of the guests’ children are playing. I’ll ask the waiter to bring him there and let him play.”
“It’s fine for him to stay by my side.” Shaun looked at Hannah with a deep gaze.
“We’ll be meeting my dad later. There’ll be many dignitaries and celebrities. It won’t be convenient to bring the child along. Let him go and play. Boys should experience more. My little nephews are also there, so don’t worry.”
Hannah finished with a smile and called a waiter over. ” Bring little Lucas to the playground at the back.”
Shaun’s eyes could not help but darken, but Lucas suddenly stood up. “I’ll go and play, then. It’s boring to stay here anyway.”
“… Take care. ” Shaun tightened his grip on the arm of the chair and stared closely at his young son.
