?276 Chapter 276
Lucas, after getting a warm hug and a collective interest of kisses stored for him, tried to wriggle his body to get out as he was almost feeling breathless.
"Mom, I am gonna choke at this rate," Lucas muttered trying to squeeze out his words.
"Oh Sorry," Vanessa spoke and loosened her grip.
Before Lucas could mutter anything, Vanessa held Lucas's wrist and pulled him inside while shutting the door with a loud bang.
"Mommmmmmm!" Lucas screamed as he was dragged like a paper doll.
'What the hell! Isn't she just a 3-Star Mage? What kind of strength is this?' Lucas panicked inwardly and felt as if he was being pulled by a monster.
In a flash, they passed through the hallway and appeared in the big central guest room which had a big dining table in the corner.
Vanessa stopped abruptly causing Lucas' face to hit her back.
"What happened?" Lucas complained and looked around to see his father Leonard Bright taking a piece of cake into his mouth but he had frozen like a statue before taking a bite.
Lucas didn't know why the atmosphere felt awkward and he felt heat rising inside the room even though it was the winter season.
"Honey!!!"
Leonard heard a sweet and delicate tone and gave a smile seeing Lucas but he was unable to control his emotions and burst into tears while his gaze changed from Lucas to the piece of cake and then to Vanessa.
"Lucas!!" He cried out and ran towards him with open arms with the hope of avoiding the crisis that had been on him but before he could hug Lucas.
BANG!
His figure was blown away and hit the wall but fortunately, nothing seemed to be broken.
Lucas blinked a couple of times, unable to comprehend what was going on, and looked at his mother who put up such an innocent smile as if she was an angel sent to this world.
"You see, your father has high sugar. The doctor has asked him to lower his carbs but your stupid father is sneaking behind me and eating food filled with sugar." Vanessa explained quite gracefully as if she was teaching a small child.
'High sugar! Carbs, what...how?'
An awakened warrior doesn't catch a cold nor does he have a disease like diabetes which affects normal people.
Even though he doubted her, Lucas nodded his head like an obedient child, after all, a mother's words are always right.
Obey her you will prosper, disobey her you will wither in the abyss.
'Maybe my father is a masochist.'
'Whatever may be, my family is not normal.' Lucas muttered inwardly.
Vanessa pulled Lucas and she sat on the sofa beside Lucas while Papa Lucas stood up straight after being beaten like a dog and sat on the sofa with an awkward expression.
With an awkward cough, he raised his hand and stroked Lucas' hair.
Lucas felt the rough and hard palms that had callus embedded in them passing over his head giving a sense of peace.
He stared at his father's face and compared it to his previous one.
His mother was beautiful, excessively beautiful. For him, Julian didn't stand a chance before his mother but that was just his inward thought.
Still, her core facial impression was quite the same as that of his mother from Earth.
But in the case of his father, he looked quite aged up.
"How are you doing, Lucas?"
"I know that you have surely gone through a hard time reaching here," Leonard spoke with a serious expression but Lucas could see the warmth in his eyes.
Lucas nodded his head with moist eyes,"It was hard. Still, I persisted somehow."
"For the first few days, I missed you a lot..a lot. I didn't have any friends, I didn't know anyone."
"There were people who shined dazzlingly while I was just a poor commoner seen as filth, I used to hide and train at night to not get caught in the eyes of bullies. The first few months were hard.." Lucas spoke as tears flowed down his cheeks as he let out all the pent-up expressions that had been bottled up inside.
His journey has never been smooth, just because one looks indifferent doesn't mean that he or she didn't feel anything, rather they have all bottled it inside instead of taking it out.
Vanessa wrapped her hands around Lucas' neck and rubbed her cheek with Lucas'.
"My baby, you have gone through a lot."
"Tough times don't last long and good times will be on the way if you don't give up," Vanessa said with a graceful tone.
After letting out everything, the atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Lucas wiped his tears and took a deep breath but remembering the deeds he had done just now, he was feeling embarrassed.
He smiled while looking at his mother Vanessa and seeing her face from close, he was stunned for a moment.
Her skin was flawless and delicate and she didn't seem to age.
Lucas always thought that she looked flawless on the phone due to filters but seeing her close even the filters of the phone don't do justice.
She looked more like his sister rather than his mother. Lucas took a glance at his father and whispered into Vanessa's ears.
''Mom, how did you catch up with the old man?"
Leonard, hearing this, choked and stared at Lucas in disbelief.
'What the hell, boy? You want to dig my grave?'
"It's my bad luck." Vanessa sighed, not speaking anymore.
Even though his father was the same age as her, if he stood beside her mother, he looked like an elder rather than her husband.
'Father, you must have it hard. You must have gone through a bloody battle to woo Mother.' Lucas muttered with sympathy while raising his thumbs.
Vanessa let go of Lucas and started to talk about all kinds of things.
"By the way, can you tell me about the girl Jeanette? I saw her in one of our calls."
Lucas, who was chatting with his father, suddenly felt a chill down his spine and turned around to see his mother with a twisted smile.
His angel mother looked more like a demoness who had his life.
'Jennette, how did she pop her? Did I pick up Mother's call while talking to her somewhere?'
Vanessa picked Lucas' ears and muttered,"Do you think I'm a fool? In the video call, I saw her looking at you seriously.''
"Tell me what did you do with her? Did you propose to her?''
Lucas' back was drenched in sweat seeing his mother's frightening senses and remembered that back in the station, he had picked up his mother's call and in that short video call, she managed to catch a glimpse of her.
"Just as a friend who needed some of my help." Lucas said with a straight face.
"I see!" Vanessa loosened the grip and sighed in relief.
"For a moment I thought you cheated on Julian," Vanessa muttered.
"Whattttt!" Lucas screamed as his face started to heat up.
"Mom, I have told you a thousand times that there is nothing between us." Lucas tried to clear the situation.
"Really? That means you don't like her. Should I look for a fiancee for you? Boys of your age are already engaged and I am worried that you can't woo a girl so let me help." Vanessa asked with a coquettish voice.
Lucas sweated buckets hearing this. He felt that the more he answered the more he would fall into her trap.
He looked at his father for help but Leonard just averted his gaze and whistled with a grin.
'You wanted to dig trouble for me, now karma strikes back.'
Lucas was unable to utter any words and just stood up and ran upstairs to his room while shouting back,"I am tired! I am going to rest."
He wanted to talk about the tournament and another thing but decided that it was better to take it slow.
Vanessa and Leonard burst into laughter after seeing Lucas' embarrassed expression which looked quite cute.
Leonard, who was laughing heartily, suddenly stopped and sighed heavily.
Vanessa frowned seeing his dead serious look as if something bad had happened and she reached out for his hand.
Holding Leonard's hand she asked with a worried tone,"What happened?"
Though she might be the boss of the place she knows how to behave when Leonard is serious.
Leonard raised his head and looked at the ceiling with an inexplicable expression as countless thoughts ran through his mind.
"Previously, I read that a test reported that Lucas had a golden bloodline, not a bronze bloodline," Leonard spoke and paused for a bit.
Vanessa's expression hardened at the sudden revelation and she wanted to scream, what report and when did you read it? Why didn't you tell me?
But she decides to wait patiently first.
After all, if she makes a move and makes her husband lose his consciousness or kill him, who will tell her everything?
As a caring wife, she shouldn't kill her husband.
"When I patted Lucas, I felt a resonance."
"Lucas had unlocked the bloodline ability." Leonard said, which astonished Vanessa.
