Aurora Walton and Lucas Carter novel Chapter 1387

Lucas was speechless.

Why did his father always have to bring up the one thing best left unsaid?

That matter had long since passed–what was the point of dredging it up now?

Besides, Aurora had already forgiven him.

Edward, amused by Lucas‘ rare discomfort, couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, it’s in the past. I was only teasing.”

“That joke isn’t funny at all.”

Lucas‘ face instantly darkened.

To the others watching, it almost looked as though something serious had happened.

Diana noticed his expression and scolded, “Wipe that look off your face. And when you see your grandfather, mind your manners.”

“I know, Mom.”

Aurora pressed her lips into a smile. Sure enough, in front of his parents, Lucas was just like a child.

No matter what they said, he answered obediently and respectfully, never showing a trace of impatience.

To Aurora, it was the truest sign of devotion. That contrast in him—so cold to the world, yet so gentle at heart— was something she treasured deeply.

Before long, the group reached Philip.

Aurora studied him closely. He was a dignified, imposing elder leaning on a cane. Though his age showed, he still carried himself with remarkable vigor.

Dressed in a traditional suit, he looked sharp and full of spirit.

When his gaze fell on Aurora, there was a flicker of doubt in his eyes,

Lucas stepped forward at once to explain, “Grandpa, this is the granddaughter–in–law I’ve chosen for you.”

At those words, the old man’s eyes widened. “And when did you manage to whisk this young lady away?”

The room fell silent.

Aurora let out an awkward laugh, caught off guard by how humorous Philip could be, teasing his grandson in front of so many people.

Lucas rubbed his forehead helplessly. “Grandpa, can’t she just be my properly wedded wife?”

“When did you get married without telling us?” Philip’s mustache bristled as he glared.
