Chapter 741: Biological Mother
When Lucas was driven out of the Hutton family together with his mother twenty years ago, he was already seven years old, so he would never forget the scene back then.
He remembered clearly what kind of life his mother had lived afterward and the reason she had died so early!
That heartless man wasn’t worthy of being called a husband and a father!
Sensing the cold and terrifying aura coming from Lucas, the n.o.blewoman was shocked. The aura he was exuding wasn’t simple.
She sighed. “Then, have you ever thought that the reason your father did it is because he might have had difficulties? After all, all the Huttons had been against him marrying your mother…”
Lucas coldly interrupted her, “I don’t care what reasons he had. I only know that from the moment he drove us out, he was no longer my father!
“If he did it because he succ.u.mbed to the Huttons, he should have never messed with my mother in the first place, let alone get her pregnant!
“If he truly loved my mother, he could have given up everything in the Hutton family and taken my mother away to start a new life!
“But what did he do? In the end, he let my mother down and abandoned her for the sake of the Huttons’ power and the position as their helmsman. I will never acknowledge a weak, incompetent, and greedy sc.u.mbag who abandoned his wife and child as my father!”
Lucas’s tone was cold and full of hatred when speaking about Michael.
He looked at the n.o.blewoman with a trace of annoyance. “You probably didn’t invite me here to talk about these old matters of the Huttons, did you?”
Seeing that he didn’t want to talk about the Huttons, the n.o.blewoman decided to change the topic. “First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Florence Howard, and I’m here to talk to you about Cheyenne Carter.”
Lucas raised his eyebrows. “Cheyenne is my wife. You’re just from the Howard family who lives far away in DC. What do you have to say to me about her? She has nothing to do with you, right?”
Florence’s expression was complicated for a while. “How can I have nothing to do with her? Cheyenne Carter is my biological daughter!”
“What?!” The news was completely beyond Lucas’s expectations, causing him to lose his usual composure.
More than two weeks ago, he had already known that William and Karen were not Cheyenne’s biological parents. Cheyenne had been picked up outside and adopted by them.
After learning about this, Lucas had speculated about what Cheyenne’s biological parents were like. But 27 years had pa.s.sed, and the clues from back then had long been broken, without any way to recover them.
Besides, Cheyenne seemed to have been deliberately abandoned beside a garbage can.
Lucas thought that perhaps because Cheyenne’s parents didn’t want her, he didn’t even think about helping her find her biological parents.
But this n.o.blewoman of the Howards actually said that she was Cheyenne’s biological mother.
It was too shocking!
Lucas looked at Florence and began to scrutinize her carefully.
Florence’s real age should be around fifty years old, but she had maintained her looks well and seemed to be only in her early forties. There weren’t many fine lines on her face.
On closer look, Florence had beautiful features, with a small and exquisite face, large eyes, and fair skin. She had definitely been beautiful in her younger days.
Most importantly, the shape of her eyes, nose, and lips were indeed similar to Cheyenne’s.
But there were many people who looked alike in this world. So based on looks alone, he couldn’t be sure that Cheyenne was really Florence’s daughter.
“How can you prove that Cheyenne is your daughter?” Lucas asked, suppressing the shock within him.
Florence bit her lower lip. “I have already done a paternity test. It’s because I’ve determined that she’s my daughter that I came to see you.”
If a paternity test had been done, then Cheyenne being Florence’s daughter was a sure thing.
For a while, Lucas’s emotions were extremely complicated.
Cheyenne’s biological mother had appeared. Lucas wondered how Cheyenne would feel when she found out.
“Since you are her mother, then why did you come to me? You should have gone to see her first, right?” Lucas asked doubtfully.
Florence had a cold and indifferent look on her face. “That’s none of your business. I came to look for you today because I have a request for you.”
Her icy gaze was fixed on Lucas.
“What request?” An ominous hunch surged in his heart.
“I want you to divorce my daughter and leave her immediately,”
Sure enough, Florence made a request that Lucas absolutely couldn’t accept.
At the same time, Lucas found the request to be absurd and ridiculous.
At the beginning, Karen, his fake mother-in-law, had tried in every possible way to make him divorce Cheyenne. And now, Cheyenne’s biological mother had suddenly appeared in front of him with the same demand.
Could it be that I’m destined to be unable to get along with my mother-in-law?
When Lucas saw Florence’s hostile gaze and how she didn’t treat him as a son-in-law in the slightest, his face also turned cold as he said indifferently, “You don’t seem to be qualified to interfere in our marriage.”
A trace of anger appeared in Florence’s eyes as she said firmly, “I’m Cheyenne’s mother, so I naturally have the right to take care of her affairs!”
“Mother?” Luca’s face showed clear mockery and contempt. “A woman who has never been in Cheyenne’s life has the nerve to call herself Cheyenne’s mother?
“Have you ever shown any concern for Cheyenne? Have you ever raised her? Now, you suddenly showed up to disrupt Cheyenne’s life before even seeing her. Who are you to do that?
“Cheyenne is now in her twenties, and she is in charge of her own life. You’re in no place to make arrangements for her!
“Even if you’re really her biological mother, so what? Cheyenne is my wife and my daughter’s mother. No matter who you are, you can’t break up our family!”
With a dark expression, Lucas rejected Florence’s unreasonable request..
