Chapter 25 Threat

As the car went farther and farther, Megan still didn't notice that pair of eyes, which had witnessed the whole process. She didn't know that the people whom Shelly sent had seen everything she was doing.

Shelly, who was waiting for Lucian at home, always felt a little flustered. She just received a message from the people whom she sent out to follow Lucian. The message saying that Lucian went to the police station with a child and he bought the child a balloon. She had a bad hunch and it was getting stronger and stronger. It was not until then her mobile phone rang and interrupted her thoughts.

"Miss Yao, I just found that the child that Mr. Lu brought to the police station is..."

Hearing this, Shelly couldn't help but become nervous. She had probably guessed that she was about to hear the name she didn't want to hear.

"Megan's son." The words coming from the other end of the phone made Shelly unconsciously clench her fists.

Why was it Megan again? Now she finally could stay with Lucian and would get married soon. Now Megan appeared with her son, which posed a great threat to her. Why she always had a hard time!

Shelly already felt something wrong when Lucian said he wanted to go out and take something. Shelly's goal was about to be achieved, and she couldn't lose it at the last moment. So she sent someone to follow him, but the last thing she wanted it to happen still happened.

However, fortunately, it seemed that Lucian didn't know that the child was Megan's son since he just took him to the police station.

"I'm back." A familiar voice rang in her ears.

"Lucian, let's have the dinner first. The food is getting cold," Shelly smiled. She didn't mention the child he met just now.

While eating, Lucian still thought of the child in his heart. Although it was the first time they met, he somehow felt familiar with him. Moreover, he always wanted to connect the child with Megan.

He remembered that he said he wanted to have a family with Megan and have a child with her. However, a few years later, he was no longer with Megan, and Megan had another man by her side. Even if Megan let him down again and again, she was still in his mind.

Looking at the man in front of her, Shelly swore to herself that no one could take the man she loved away from her. She must be with him, and as for the child, she would try her best to make him disappear forever.

At this time, Megan didn't realize all this. She didn't expect what her son would face in the coming days. When she returned home, she scolded Eric hard.

"Eric, how many times have I told you not to run outside by yourself? Why are you so disobedient?" Megan frowned and said, "Do you know how much I'm worried about you?"

Eric lowered his head and bit his lips tightly. He didn't know why his mother was so angry. It was the first time that she was so angry. He wanted to tell his mother that he met Lucian today and he found that he was not as bad as his mother and Uncle Aron said. He was good to him. However, he didn't dare to say anything after he found that Megan was so angry at him.

"What if you get lost and mommy can't find you? If the uncle you met today didn't take you to the police station but take you to somewhere else, do you know what it means?" Eric was Megan's only son, the most precious people in her life. Now the most frightening thing for her was to lose him. She had lost Lucian, and she couldn't lose Eric again.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't run around again." Eric looked up at Megan with an aggrieved face.

Even though Megan heard her son's apology, she was still angry. She wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Aron.

"Megan, look at Eric. He knows his fault now. And he is still a child," Aron persuaded, then squatted down and smiled at Eric.

"I just want him to know that it's wrong. He's my son. I can't let him get hurt," Megan said helplessly.

"I'm sorry, mommy. Don't be sad any more. I really knows my fault. I will never do it again." Eric held Megan's hand with his little hand, trying to smile at Megan.

Megan let go of his hand and walked to the window.

Neon lights were flashing outside the window. It seemed that no changes had happened to the city in the past few years. It was still the same as before. The only thing that had changed was people's hearts.

Lucian used to be her life. After she gave birth to her son alone, she was completely desperate for the person who she regarded as life before. If it weren't for Shelly, everything might be different. Now their family could live happily, and Eric would have a father, just like a normal child.

Looking at his mother's sad figure, Eric felt guilty and knew that he had made his mother worried.

"Eric, look at the toy I just bought for you. Do you like it?" Aron treated Eric as his own son.

In Aron's heart, he knew clearly that if Lucian didn't cherish Eric and Megan, he would regret someday.

"Yes, yes!" Eric took the toy happily.

Looking at Eric, who was laughing and playing with Aron

, Megan couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Why did Lucian have to be so cruel to abandon them? Every time she saw Eric laugh, she would think of Lucian. She would think of the past that Lucian gave all his tenderness to her. He said that he hoped to have a child of theirs, and he would buy their child a lot of toys. He wanted to play with him and grow up with him, but he didn't do what he had said. All of the memories about his promise were a pain that she couldn't forget for so long.

Eric saw the sadness in his mother's eyes, which could only be seen when his mother talked about Lucian. He had heard a lot of stories about Lucian, and he seemed to understand a lot of things. He never cried for his father, but after getting along with Lucian for a short time today, he was more and more unable to understand what kind of person he was and why his mother hated him so much.

"Eric is back. Megan, just don't think too much. I think that Eric might be hungry. Let's have a meal." Aron came close to Megan and whispered, "Talk to Eric. He is still a child. But we both know that Eric is very smart and he will understand what you are talking about."

Megan nodded. Hearing what Aron said, she suddenly felt a little sad. She suddenly felt sorry for both Eric and Aron. She didn't know how to live in the future days. The only thing she could be sure was that she wanted to love Eric more in the future. Thinking of this, the expression on her face gradually recovered from sadness.

"Eric, are you hungry? Go wash your hands and have dinner after playing for a while. I'll cook for you now."

Aron felt sorry for Megan. He could remember that Megan was not like this before. Now he could no longer see the past Megan from her. Why did the kind-hearted Megan become like this? God was so unfair, and he hated the person who made her so sad. He swore in his heart that he would protect her well and gave her a family.

Although the atmosphere in Megan's home was depressing, it didn't mean that right now Lucian had a relaxed and easy time.

"What's wrong, Lucian? What are you thinking about? Hurry up and eat."

Shelly took the soup out of the kitchen and saw Lucian holding chopsticks, thinking about something.

A hint of gloom flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed. She raised a gentle smile, put down the soup, and walked to Lucian.

She shook his arm, her eyes full of worry.

"What's wrong, Lucian? Why don't you say something? Are you not feeling well?"

Then she reached out to touch Lucian's' forehead.

A smell of perfume went into Lucian's nose. He frowned by instinct and pushed away Shelly's hand on his head.

Looking at the woman in front of him, he said, "Nothing. Let's have the dinner."

Then he picked up a mouthful of rice by his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Next to him, Shelly looked at Lucian and bit her lips angrily. She didn't know since when he became more and more indifferent to her.

At the thought of that Lucian just met the son of Megan, even if he didn't know who that child was, Shelly still felt a sense of threat.

No way... She had to speed up her plan, or Lucian would be taken away by Megan sooner or later.

"Why haven't you eaten yet?"

After eating that mouthful of rice, Lucian found that the person who called him to have dinner was still standing beside him and didn't eat. He said to Shelly and there was a little unhappy in his tone.

"Oh, I'll eat right now."

It was not until she heard Lucian's voice that Shelly came to her senses. She said to him and then walked towards Lucian and sat down.

"Lucian, come and eat fish. It's good for your health."

Shelly attentively picked up food for Lucian, and her eyes were full of expectation. "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"Yes..."

Lucian put the piece of fish into his mouth and chewed it, casually dealing with Shelly.

Ignoring the disappointment on Shelly's face, he was just immersed in his own thoughts.

He was thinking about the boy he met in the afternoon. He didn't know if he had gone home or not. He really didn't know how his parents could let the boy outside alone and they even hadn't looked for him.

The thought of the boy's little face and big eyes made Lucian's heart melt.

He really wanted to have such a son. If he had such a son, would the three of them be happy to live together?

This kind of life seemed to be what he had been looking forward to, but it had never been realized. Back then, he wanted to have such a family and a son with Megan. But later, the person beside him was no longer Megan, and the person beside Megan was no longer him. Even if he would have a son in the future, it was only going to be the son of Shelly and him.

Thinking of this, Lucian looked up at the disappointed Shelly.

Somehow, when Lucian thought that he would have a son with Shelly in the future, a hint of disappointment flashed through his heart.

He thought that Shelly and he might not have a son as cute as the little boy he had met this afternoon.
