Chapter 2582
As the tutor explained the content, Irene spotted Lucas walking toward the kitchen from the corner of her eye. She immediately told the tutor to wait before running off to the kitchen."Mr. Lucas, are you hungry? I made pancakes for you. I think it's gone cold now. I will heat it up in the microwave." She knew that Lucas had come to the kitchen because he was starving and darted into the kitchen to get to work."I made some stew as well. You said you didn't want too much meat, so I didn't put much in. It's mostly vegetables. Have a taste." Irene placed the pancakes into the microwave before filling a bowl with stew from the pot."Mr. Lucas, there's pasta in that pot over there. Do you want some?""I'll do it myself." Lucas was facing the microwave and had his back toward Irene. Irene felt helpless when she could not see his face. "Mr. Lucas, I'm sorry! I know that I was wrong. Please don't be mad.""You are just a servant. Remember your place. Apart from cooking and cleaning, do

"He is just so unappreciative. It's rare enough that Kasey expresses interest in him, and he just ignores her. I would be over the moon if Kasey was interested in Noah." Mrs. Woods rolled her eyes. "Which university are you sending Lucas to? Turlington University?""I've contacted Turlington University, and it's not impossible to get Lucas in, but he will have to do so under a sports scholarship, and he might be reluctant to do so. After all, that means that he will need to go for training.""You sure care a lot about this son of yours!" Mrs. Woods said sarcastically. "Outside this family, he is a nobody, so I don't know why you are acting so carefully around him. Kasey Bennett is just having fun with the boy. I mean, she looks like the typical playgirl.""I'm not scared of him if that is what you are insinuating. He has recently been brought into this family and hasn't gotten used to everything..." Mr. Woods argued."He's been back for almost half a year and he still hasn't gotten

Lucas had run out of patience and did not want to continue the conversation. He thought that his father would just leave if he fell silent. To his bewilderment, Mr. Woods sat down on the couch and looked at him. "Come here. Let's talk.""What's there to talk about? Just say what you have to say." Lucas walked over in annoyance."Your mother called me." Mr. Woods watched as his son approached him. "Did you block your mother's number? She said she can't reach you, and when she tried to call you using a different number, you won't pick up.""Yeah, I blocked her number," Lucas admitted. "Is there anything else?"Mr. Woods took a few deep breaths and said, "Your mother was in tears when she called me. She told me that—""I don't want to hear it." Lucas interrupted him. "If that's all, I'm going back to my room.""Lucas!" Mr. Wood stood from the couch and hurried over to Lucas. "Your mother said a lot to me. She had told me that she had purposely not told you anything when she had me p

Irene had thought that he would remain in his room like he usually did, but he walked out carrying a black backpack."Mr. Lucas, are you going out?" She set the bowl down and walked toward Lucas.Lucas did not stop. He exited the front door. She had no clue as to where he was going.She stood by the door and watched as Lucas got into a car. The car drove off, vanishing into the distance, and she stared at it till it disappeared from sight. She felt that she and Lucas were heading down very different paths as she watched the car vanish from sight. She stood there, feeling the wind brush against her, then she returned to the kitchen, washed the dishes, and left for the Main Block's kitchen since she did not know if Lucas would come home for lunch.Lucas had completely shut her off, and their interaction was so limited that even normal employers would communicate with their servants more often."Mrs. Flores, let me help you with that!""Is Mr. Lucas out? I heard that he is traveli

There were quite a few countries between the two countries. Even if she took a flight, it would be a long flight."Irene, you don't have to help out in the kitchen anymore either. You can return home and rest. You can go to school, too. After all, you have to sit for your exams soon," the butler said. "If you can get into Turlington University, you don't have to return the money you owe me. I know that it was your grandmother's wish, while she was alive, for you to get into a good university.""Sir, thank you. No matter whether I get into Turlington University or not, I will surely repay you," Irene said gratefully before leaving the Woods' mansion.Just like the butler said, her exams were coming up. She needed to use the time she had and study.When she returned to school after her long break, a few of her classmates approached her while she was at her desk. "Irene, I heard that your grandmother passed away, and you have always been working."Naturally, it was the teacher who

Irene placed a basin of water before Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, the things I said to Mr. Sam… they were not true. You know how people say things they don't mean when they are angry. I think that as long as you work hard, you won't be worse than Mr. Noah or Mr. Sam."Lucas finished washing his hands. He said coolly, "I don't care about your opinions on any of us.""That's good. Mr. Lucas, you should be like that. Just focus on your studies. Don't care about what other people say." Irene placed the basin aside and spooned some soup into a bowl for Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, you have to eat more. If you don't, I'll be embarrassed to take my pay."Lucas was speechless.Cooking a single meal was indeed easy work. Lucas did not have a huge appetite. Usually, Irene only needed to cook up two dishes and a soup."Mr. Lucas, are you good in foreign languages?" Irene asked when he had finished his food and began drinking his soup. "If you're going to Edelweiss, you have to learn their language."Lucas

In Aryadelle, after the preliminary screening of the candidates was over, Layla grew busy. Every day, when she was tired of working, or during her lunch break, she would randomly pick a guy from her email list and start chatting with them via video call.She had still been a little uneasy when she had spoken to the first two men, but after that, she relaxed into the process. There was a famous trend on the internet where an algorithm would match you up with random people to talk to. As long as she treated this as some sort of a game, she would feel more relaxed.At night, Layla complained to her mother about the day's men."Mom, do you know how absurd the guy I was talking to this afternoon was?" At that, Layla chuckled. "I suspect he is just here for Hayden because when I was almost done chatting with him, he told me that he felt that we are not compatible, and he hoped that he could be friends with Hayden instead."Avery replied, "Hayden is indeed amazing. He did not rely on

Layla said, "Dad, we haven't spoken about marriage yet! I just find him interesting. I want to get to know him better. Even if we don't end up together, being friends isn't too bad either. You all wanted me to get to know more boys, right?"Avery said, "I support you. Nothing bad could come out of getting to know more motivated friends."Elliot said, "Layla, you have to make sure to stay safe. Make sure you keep your bodyguards with you when you leave to meet him. You cannot go alone, let alone meet with him at night. Before you see him, let me know."Avery was speechless.Layla said, "Dad, I know. I'll get Robert to accompany me!"Elliot said, "Robert is slightly weaker. If anything were to happen to you. I don't think he can protect you. It's better that you take the bodyguards along."Layla was speechless. After having her meal, she left.When Avery saw that Layla had left, she said to Elliot, "Eric is preparing to go to a university to be a music professor. Before he started
