After ending the call, Mr. Woods paced back and forth in the living room.
"Butler!" he roared.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe butler hurried over. "Yes, Sir. What do you need?" "Hurry! Tell the kitchen that we have an important guest visiting. Tell them to prepare. I don't know what Ms. Bennett likes to eat... Go ask my wife!" "Understood! Is Ms. Bennett coming?" the butler asked.
"Yes! She has unique tastes! She saw the video of Lucas getting into a fight and is now interested in him! I really don't understand youngsters these days! I'm happy about it regardless! Hahaha! I should go see Lucas now," Mr. Woods said before heading toward the South Block.
When the bodyguards guarding the South Block saw Mr. Woods, they immediately opened the door.
Mrs. Flores quickly approached Mr. Woods. "Mr. Woods, Mr. Lucas has not eaten in two days! No matter how hard I've tried to get him to eat, he just won't eat. He locked his door, and I can't deliver his food. Even if he's strong, he can't survive without food!" Mr. Woods frowned and went to look for the spare keys.
Shortly after, he found the keys and opened the door to the bedroom to find Lucas lying on his bed, unmoving.
Remembering the way he punished Lucas, Mr. Woods felt slightly embarrassed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Lucas, I heard that you haven't eaten for the past two days. I ordered the servants to make you ssoup. Have slater!" Mr. Woods said before tapping Lucas on the arm.
Lucas shoved his hand away and sat up, glaring at his father warily. "Just spit it out. Enough with your pretenses!" Relieved that Lucas was still alive, Mr. Woods said, "I admit that I was too hard on you a few days ago. I apologize. I shouldn't have locked you up in here. I didn't want you running around. Terrytown is big, unlike the town your mom lives in. If you get lost, what am I to say to your mother?" "Mom called you?" Lucas asked, his stomach twitching in pain. Having starved for two days, he had lost the strength to fight with his father.
"She hasn't. Your mom has no tfor you now that she has a new boyfriend. They might just give you a younger sibling any day now!" Mr. Woods said. "The daughter of the Bennett family is coming here as a guest later, and she specifically said that she wants to see you, so..." "I see. I was wondering why you are playing the caring father now," Lucas sneered. "Look at that smile on your face. I bet that the Bennett family must be richer than ours!" "Watch your tongue! Lucas, I brought you back and kept you fed. I even assigned servants to look after you. Had you not caused that much trouble, do you think I would have punished you? Do you think I enjoy punishing you? You are my son, and I only want the best for you. How could I ever harm you? I know that your stepmother doesn't like you and has been bullying you, but you will soon go to college and won't have to see her that often," Mr. Woods said, noticing Mrs. Flores entering the room with a bowl of soup. "Even if Ms. Bennett isn't coming today, I would have dropped by tomorrow." Mr. Woods took the bowl of soup and tried to feed Lucas.
Disgusted, Lucas shoved him away. "What do you wantto do? Talk to her? Marry her?" "She just wants to meet you. Who said that she will be willing to marry you? Dream on! If she wants to marry you, this will be a once-in-a-lifetchance for our family!" Mr. Woods was overjoyed with the fancies conjured up by his imagination. "Lucas, grab your chance. The Bennett family is extremely wealthy, and they spoil this daughter with all they have. If you date her, you won't have to work for a few decades! Finish your soup, take a shower, and change into sclean clothes. Oh, do you have decent clothes? Should I buy you snow?" Lucas was the best-looking son amongst Mr. Woods' sons because he looked like his mother.
"I have one request, and if you refuse, I am not meeting anyone today." Not allowing his father the tto think, Lucas said, "Find Irene, take her back, and promise that none of you get to will chase her out again so long as she wishes to stay. You will have to keep the promise of paying her double as well!"
