A SUBSTITUTE BRIDE

Vincent poured the steeped milk into a cup and turned to look at Thomas.

– Before Anne died, she refused to say anything. The young master ran away because of his physical punishment. However, she insisted that Young Master was possessed because he went to the funeral home for a few hours.

Vincent clenched his fists. He frowned, his expression darkening.

After about five seconds, he calmed down. He turned to look at Thomas and said coldly:

– There are no ghosts in this world.

– Of course I know there are no ghosts in this world.

Thomas voiced his concerns hesitantly.

– I’m just very curious why the young master would go to a funeral home. Based on my previous investigations, whenever the young master goes missing, it’s very likely that he’s going to a funeral home. It’s really unbelievable.

Vincent’s eyes darkened. He seemed to remember something and said:

– Last year, I told him that his mother was already dead.

– But what is the relationship with the funeral home?

Thomas looked puzzled.

– Previously, I told him that his mother stayed at the funeral home because the funeral home is the door to another world, Vincent said calmly, his eyebrows furrowed.

– Could it be that the young master went to the funeral home to accompany his mother?

A trace of surprise shone in Thomas’s eyes. He continued:

– But the young master was only three years old last year. Can he remember what happened when he was three years old?

Vincent frowned. He had rarely spoken to Lucas in the past, so he wasn’t sure.

However, when he thought about how Lucas could remember what happened when he was young, and how Anne had once hurt Lucas, his breathing became heavy. He didn’t speak.

Seeing that he didn’t look well, Thomas said cautiously:

– But according to the DNA test, Florence Blanc is not the mother of the young master. In this case, the young master’s mother may still be alive. As long as we can find the young master’s mother, we may be able to make up for the motherly love he lacked.

Vincent’s expression improves a little. He continued:

– Investigate this case thoroughly. I don’t believe there is any record of what happened at the time.

At that moment, Thomas suddenly remembered something and hastened to say:

– Second young master, I found information. I heard that a week before your stay in this hotel, the young elder master stayed there for a month.

Vincent’s eyes lit up.

– My big brother ?

– Yes.

– Then why didn’t you say it sooner?”

Vincent’s expression darkened and he asked coldly.

Thomas hastened to explain:

– Security officers only confirmed that the young master stayed there after seeing his picture. However, the young master did not use his own ID card at the time.

Hearing Thomas’s words, Vincent fell into deep thought. Could it be that what happened back then is also related to Big Brother?

Shortly after the incident on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Big Brother disappeared in a car accident. Five years had passed since then, but we still had no news of him.

What was Big Brother’s motive at the time?

If big brother was behind this incident, it would be normal that he finds nothing after so long.

However, he hoped it had nothing to do with big brother.

– Follow this lead and continue the investigation. Vincent said coldly.

– Yes sir.

As soon as Thomas finished speaking, the two men heard footsteps.

Lucas was coming down the stairs sleeping. At that time, the long curly wig on her head was gone, revealing her fine hair and young, clean face.

Thomas was used to seeing the young master wearing a wig, so he didn’t react for a moment.

Vincent walked calmly towards Lucas and said in a low voice:

– Have you washed?

Lucas nodded obediently, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Vincent.

It was awesome. His father was at home!

– Come and have breakfast.

When Lucas heard Vincent’s words, his eyes lit up. He held out his hand to Vincent.

Vincent looked at Lucas’ tiny hand and was slightly surprised.

Seeing this, Lucas suddenly felt a wave of disappointment. He lowered his head, wanting to withdraw his hand.

The next moment, Vincent took her small hand and rubbed it gently. There was a vague sense of familiarity.

This feeling was similar to the one he had felt when he had held Lyana’s hand before.

She was small and sweet.

Lucas looked at his hand, which was held by his father. A slight smile appeared on his face.

In fact, what made Lucas the happiest was not his father holding his hand, but what he had just heard from his father and his uncle Thomas.

All this time, he had taken his mother for someone else. So his mother was still alive.

His mother must wait for him to find her.

He had to work hard to find his mother.

During the meal, Vincent’s gaze landed on Lucas’s face. In the past, he had always organized Lucas’ life directly. He had never asked her opinion.

This time, he wanted Lucas to make the decision, so he asked him:

– Do you want to go to school and study with other children?

Lucas stopped drinking his milk for a moment, then swallowed it. He looked at Vincent expectantly and asked cautiously:

– I can ?

– Of course.

Suppressing his laughter, he nodded.

Vincent turned to Thomas and said:

– Help Lucas with the admissions procedures today.

Vincent thought that if he let Lucas play with children his own age, Lucas’ reclusive character might improve.

Thomas replied:

– Yes.

Lucas finished his breakfast in silence and returned to his room.

Worried, Vincent sat down on the sofa in Lucas’ room. Seeing Lucas lower his head and do what he wanted, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Vincent looked at his watch. There were four hours left before Liam’s concert.

Lucas pulled out his phone and logged into his game. Someone’s private message box instantly hit 999 .

Lucas ignored the private messages and logged into the game room.

[Oh my god, the great god is here!]

[The great god is finally online!]

[I sent 500 messages to the great god, but the system blacklisted me. However, the great god did not respond]

[Great god distance is not something you can touch!]

He sat down and sent a voicemail.

– Where are the players who wanted me to score points with them previously?

[Look at me, Great God!]

[I raise my hands!]

[I am here, begging for mercy, great God!]

[Good God, I’ve been stuck in Starshine for three weeks. Save me !]

[Good God, my level 10 account allows me to share all my skins. Please take me to the national ranks!]

…

The chat box in the room refreshed very quickly. Lucas couldn’t read it at all.

He was still young and didn’t know many words. Looking at the complicated words, he frowned.

It ranked first on the national server every season. Many people in the game wanted him to help them score points, but he only played solo, so he ignored everyone’s requests to team up.

But the situation was different.

He already owed a whopping $15.

He wondered how many games he would have to play to win them back.

Lucas didn’t want to owe anyone money at all. In order to reimburse him as soon as possible, he sent a voice message.

– The highest bidder will have priority.

As soon as this message was sent, the game room chat room exploded.

In the concert box.

– Ahh!!! Lucia screamed in excitement.

When Lyana heard Lucia’s voice, she frowned slightly and asked in confusion:

– What’s wrong ?

– Do you know who ranked first on the national server?

She handed her phone to Lyana.

It was a nationally recognized competitive game, and she played there too.

– I know it. It’s Mr. Q.

Speaking of which, she had always been ranked second on the national server. The first place in the national server has always been occupied by MQ. Later, she studied plant cultivation and quit playing.
