Chapter 470

Anya’s eyes twinkled, looking so naive and innocent. “No, Rosie. You must be overthinking it. Corinne

is quite a nice person.”

“Her? A nice person? If she’s a nice person, I wouldn’t have been imprisoned because of her!” Rosie

sighed. She could not help but feel even more worried about her pure and simple best friend. “Anya,

you’re a mother now, yet you’re still as foolish as a child, thinking that everybody is nice! I’m really

worried about you!”

There was a pause before Anya laughed as she was “slow to react. Just as she was about to say

something, she heard the door to the restroom open.

With mutual understanding, both of them did not continue the topic anymore. They turned to look at

Lucas, who just came out of the restroom, at the same time.

Rolling his sleeves up, Lucas walked over slowly, then said to his sister gently, “Anya, don’t you feel

tired carrying the child? Hurry up, have a seat, and take a break!”

Anya nodded. Carrying Joey in her arms, she sat down on the couch with Rosie. Then, she smiled

sweetly and said to the boy, “Here, Joey, say uncle! This is Uncle!”

The boy blinked his eyes as he looked at Lucas, then he obediently said, “An-angle.”

The adults were so amused by the child’s mispronunciation that they burst out laughing.

Anya corrected him, “It’s Uncle, not angle.”

Looking dazed, Joey tried calling out again, “An-ankle!”

Anya was speechless. “Joey, it’s not ankle! It’s Uncle!”

Joey was baffled. He had no idea why he just could not get it right. He frowned as he was troubled,

then he tried to pronounce it again, “Ungle!”

Lucas stroked Joey’s chubby cheeks. Because he loved his sister, he was fond of the child as well.”

Enough, Anya. He’s such a young boy. How accurate do you want his pronunciation to be?”

Perhaps it was truly some kind of fate. This boy was adopted, but if he looked carefully, the boy indeed

looked a little like his sister.

However, Lucas did not develop any familial affection for the child or wanted to carry him. He only

cared

for him like how an adult would care for a child.

Rosie already started opening the container she brought. She took out all of the food and placed them

nicely on the table, then she thoughtfully handed the cutlery to Lucas. “Lucas, try and see if it’s to your

taste!”

“Thank you.” Lucas accepted the cutlery elegantly and politely. He took a bite of the food, then he

nodded. “It’s delicious!”

Just a simple praise from the man she liked was enough to make Rosie melt. “If you like the food I

make, Lucas, I can make them and bring them to you every day!”

Lucas rejected coldly, “No, thanks. I’m used to having simple meals alone when I’m working. You’ll

interrupt my work if you come over, and you’ll be wasting your time as well.”

She was just praised, but she was rejected again. The awkward expression on Rosie’s face was

indescribable.

“Uhm, Lucas, I’m fine with wasting my time, but if it’s going to interrupt your work, I won’t come over!

Whenever you want to have the food I make, just let Anya tell me and I’ll make them and bring them to

you immediately!”
