Chapter 18 The Secret Between Men

Listening to Shelly's constant crying and complaining to him, Lucian was even more depressed. In addition, he had just had a bad time with Megan, so now he only felt more upset.

"Can you stop crying?" Without the pampering as usual, such a suppressed and slightly angry warning in a low voice made Shelly stunned.

Seeing the impatience on Lucian's face, Shelly stopped crying and said, "Lucian, I'm not crying. I just feel uneasy."

She still nestled in Lucian's arms with a trace of sobbing, "When those people knew you and Megan, I was only a third party between you two. But now you have divorced with her. Can't you give me a real title?"

After hearing what Shelly said when she was still sobbing, Lucian felt a little depressed in his heart. Why did it seem that everything was his fault? But on second thought, Shelly had always been in poor health. After being hurt by Megan, she hadn't made new friends in the past few years.

After thinking for a while, he felt sorry for Shelly, but he still let go of her and said, "You must be tired, right? I really have something else to do. As for other matters, let's talk about them later."

Then he turned around and left. He went upstairs to the study and began to work.

Only Shelly was left in the living room. Now her weak and pitiful face was replaced by a face covered by jealousy and anger.

"Megan! Why did you come back after you left. You disturbed my life after you came back. I have been doing so many things for him for so many years, but I still can't replace you." Shelly lowered her voice and murmured to herself angrily.

She didn't dare to say it out loudly. After all, Lucian was upstairs right now. The anger in her heart had spread to her chest. Now she just wanted Megan to disappear, and even wanted her to die.

Before she came back, Lucian had never treated her like today, but everything changed as soon as she came back. "Megan, I want you to know that you will come to a bad end if you want to take away something from me."

However, Lucian, who was dealing with business in the study, couldn't calm down. All he thought about now was Megan.

Last night's passion made his heart racing, and Lucian understood one thing. Over the years, not only did he not forget her, but he liked her all the more.

Especially when they met this time, he felt that there was something he couldn't figure out on Megan's body, and that kind of charm that he couldn't see through was like a magic, deeply attracted him.

"Don't think about her. Lucian, it's been so many years!" Lucian murmured to himself, "Why can't I just let go of that wicked woman and forget her? I am living such a good life now. Why am I still thinking about her?"

Although he said that he should stop thinking about her, he still couldn't control himself in his mind.

'Why was there no man's daily supplies in the room except for the baby's things? Are they separated? Then what about the baby? Then why did Megan tell me that she was living a happy life?'

The more Lucian thought about it, the more headache he got. He took out his phone and wanted to call Megan to ask her about it.

However, he thought carefully. Even if he did call her to ask the question, she would only answer him that it was none of your business. Therefore, he put down the phone.

In the biggest amusement park of the Beauty City, Aron was wandering around with Eric.

But he didn't know what was going on today. Originally, Eric would have many fun when he arrived at the amusement park. However, today, no matter how Aron coaxed him, he seemed to have no spirit for anything.

"Eric, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Aron squatted down and looked at Eric.

Eric looked at him seriously, "Uncle Aron, take me to the coffee shop. I want to have a talk with you."

Aron was amused by his expression. "Hey, why are you talking to me so seriously? Don't pretend to be serious when you are with me." Then he touched Eric's head dotingly.

"You don't have to touch my hair. Don't laugh. I'm serious. I have something important to ask you." Eric dodged Aron's hand and looked serious. He looked exactly like Lucian.

"Well, then Eric means no marshmallow, sugarcoated haws, merry go round and roller coaster, right?" Aron continued to make fun of Eric.

But he knew Eric well. He was brought up by Megan alone and was very sensible. He was more mature than children of the same age. But it was this tenacity and maturity in Eric's heart that sometimes made Aron think Eric was really like Lucian.

"Yes!" Eric refused firmly. No matter how tempting those things were, they couldn't be compared with his mother's matter.

Seeing the firmer expression on Eric's face, Aron had to nod, "Let's go."

When they arrived at the coffee shop, Aron ordered a cup of matcha ice cream for Eric. "Well, my dear Eric, what can I do for you?"

After all, Eric was still a child. Eric couldn't help swallowing when he saw the delicious ice cream, but he still resist the temptation of delicious food. "Uncle Aron, I know you're good to me. Besides mother, you are the one who love me most, aren't you?"

Seeing the symbolic smile on Eric's face, Aron knew that this little fox must want to beg him for something again. He immediately became vigilant. Although Eric was only four years old now, Aron had suffered a lot from him.

"What do you want to do this time? I'm not as easy to fool as you were before. I won't fall for it this time. Don't think I'm going to promise you anything just because you're pretending cute with me," Aron said decisively.

Seeing that it didn't work, Eric rolled his eyes and knew that he had to change another way. "Mr. Aron, I'm already four years old this year. I'll be five in four months and eight days. So I'm a big boy now. I have the right to know something."

"Okay." Aron became vigilant, "So what do you want to know?"

"I want to know who my father is." Eric's serious face was a little desolate. It's really heartbreaking to see such a small child acting like this.

Although Eric was not born here, and Aron would take care of Eric from time to time when they were in Britain, Eric still knew that he didn't have a father. When he saw that other children all had a father and he only had his mother, it made him felt very uncomfortable and upset.

Eric had asked his mother before, but every time he asked his mother this question, she would be very unhappy.

Eric didn't ask any more questions when he saw his mother like this. He knew it was not easy for his mother to take care of him since childhood. Therefore, unlike other children, Eric was more sensible and obedient.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Aron didn't expect that Eric would ask him this question.

"Because since we came back from abroad, mommy was always very unhappy and sometimes she would cry secretly. It's rare, but I do hear her crying," Eric pouted and said to Aron.

"Cry?" Aron knew that the man still had a position in Megan's heart, but he did not expect that Megan would cry because of him.

"Well, in fact, it's enough for me to have mommy, because mommy is really good. I just want to know who hurt mommy so bad. So Uncle Aron, would you please tell me who he is?"

Eric raised his eyes and gave him a sincere look, which made Aron feel embarrassed to refuse. But as for the matter between Megan and Lucian, he really didn't know how to tell the four year old child.

But he didn't have the heart to refuse, because Eric was much more precocious than ordinary children. Since Eric asked him about this, Aron believed that Eric must be able to bear the truth.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me that it's a small secret between the two of us. You can't tell your mommy," Aron said to Eric seriously and sincerely.

"Yes, it's a secret between men." Eric was the spitting image of Lucian when he looked serious every time.

"Your mommy was badly hurt by that man. When your mommy was pregnant with you, she went to British for protecting you and making sure you were born successfully. That man didn't want you to stay in the world, and your grandmother's death was also related to that man." Aron tried to make it as simple as possible.

Although Eric was confused, he felt a little sad. It turned out that his father, whom he had never seen before, didn't want him to come to this world.

"Then... Does Uncle Aron know who that person is? Do you have his picture?" Hearing what Aron said, Eric was curious about the man's appearance and identity.

Aron found a photo of Lucian on the internet and handed it to Eric, "Here is it."

Looking at the man in the photo carefully, Eric felt that he did look a little like him, but after hearing what he had done to his mother, he still hated this man.

He tried hard to imprint this man's face on his brain. Eric wanted to remember him. He firmly believed that he would see him face to face one day.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Aron," Eric said to Aron with a smile.

"Eric, you promise me just now. You can't tell your mommy that I tell you this." Aron was still worried.

Because he knew that Megan still didn't want Eric to know the existence of that man, but since Eric had asked him so, he chose to take the risk to tell him.

Although he knew what would happen to him if Megan knew about it. But anyway, Eric had grown up and had his own ideas. It was better to let him know what had happened before rather than hide everything from him.
