"You!" Seth immediately flew into a rage. No one had ever dared to be so arrogant toward him!
The Carters were just as furious as him as they angrily charged forward to surround Lucas, as though they were going to hit him.
Just as the conflict was getting heated, someone pushed the door open and entered.
"W-what's going on?"
Lucas's heart palpitated, and his body stiffened.
He had never dared to forget that familiar voice, which was already deeply etched in his mind.
He stood still in place without turning around.
He had imagined and even rehearsed the scene of meeting Cheyenne again countless times in his head. This time, he was here specifically to see her too. But when he heard her gentle voice, Lucas suddenly realized that he didn't know how he should face her.
What should I say to her?
However, Cheyenne didn't quite notice Lucas, who had his back facing the door.
As soon as she entered, she saw a large group of her relatives gathered together and surrounding Seth Miller.
Cheyenne's eyebrows furrowed. Lately, Seth had been declaring his love for her and resorting to all sorts of harassment, annoying her to no end. Just now, she saw Seth's extremely flashy sports car parked near the entrance of her home.
"Why are you here again? I've already said that I won't consider it," Cheyenne rebuked, looking upset.
"Watch your tone with Seth!" Karen reprimanded before hurriedly saying, "It's good that you're back. Since the courts are still open, hurry up and get a divorce with this good-for-nothing!"
"What?" Cheyenne was feeling confused when the little girl beside her leaped toward Lucas with glistening eyes. "Daddy! Daddy, are you here to see me?"
Daddy? Bewildered, Cheyenne shifted her gaze onto the back of the person whom she had neglected. This familiar height and silhouette... She came to a sudden realization and took a step back. It's... him?
Lucas squatted down, reached out, and wrapped his arm around the little girl, who was once again enthusiastically holding onto his thigh. He scrutinized her carefully.
She had thin eyebrows, beautiful glowing eyes, and tiny diamond-shaped lips. She was obviously beautiful even though her features had yet to develop fully.
So this kid is a Carter.
It turned out that he found her strangely familiar because her features were similar to Cheyenne's.
Could she be... As he thought of a certain possibility, his heart pounded vigorously.
Holding the little girl in his arms, he suddenly felt very close and affectionate with her.
He then took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the person in front of him, whom he had thought about countless times.
