Chapter 1181 Lingering Feelings
Soup? Marie realized that Lucius was serious. She hesitated before speaking, “I have to go to the railway station to pick someone up later. I’m afraid I won’t have time today.”
Upon hearing this, Lucius smiled faintly. “Who’s so important?”
“My daughter.” When Marie mentioned Wynter, her eyes softened in a way they rarely
did.
Lucius gazed at her for a while before speaking again, “You really seem like a mother
now. It’s hard to imagine.”
“That’s because I AM a mother.” Marie laughed heartily, finding his comment rather
peculiar.
Lucius withdrew his gaze, his demeanor becoming more distant. “I didn’t expect you to adapt so well to marriage and motherhood. I’ve just never pictured you being tied down by such trivial matters like this.”
Marie furrowed her brows. “My daughter is not a trivial matter.”
She sounded somewhat displeased. No one truly understood what Wynter’s return
meant to her. Marie often felt a sense of indebtedness, not just to Wynter who was
abducted, but also to her sons.
Lucius looked at his fingers with a hint of mockery, though it wasn’t clear what he
was mocking. “So, your focus now is entirely on your family.”
“That’s about right.” Marie felt that her old acquaintances seemed very concerned
about how she was doing now. They also liked to compare her past self with her
current self, and she suddenly felt a bit weary of it all.
Lucius spoke again, “It seems we’re already from two different worlds, class
president.”
Marie paused upon hearing this tile again. Before she had the time to react, Lucius instructed the driver, “Take Ms. Whitman to Summergrove Mansion.”
