Chapter 329
Sweet Subterfuge
âCanât you tell that my momâs angry?â he asked coldly.
âOf course, I can!â Ceciliaâs anger was obvious. Anyone could tell, Lana included. âBut I havenât dealt with my thing with Larissa yet! I canât nor She dragged Lucas back toward the private room âDo you even know what the occasion is? And you come here to deal with your thing with Larissa?
Lucas did not know if Lana was really innocent or stupid. âCan you have a little bit of observational skills?â
With the way he shouted at her, Lana froze. Lucas froze too.
Ever since they got to know each other. Lucas had never spoken harshly to Lana. She had always been his precious little princess. Even she was unreasonable on multiple occasions, he was always gently tolerating her.
Lana was struck speechless in an instant, her eyes filled with tears once again, âYouâre shouting at me â Her voice was so soft and filled with endless grievances, which immediately caused Lucas to go soft.
He quickly pulled her into his embrace and coed. âSorry, sorry I didnât mean to Iâm just really stressed out these days. I didnât manage to control my temper His stress largely came from his parents. Because of the crisis that Cosmic Entertainment was in, they no longer agreed to his relationship with Lana. Other than that, his career progress was not going well eitherâall the projects he invested in behind his parentsâ backs were making heavy losses. His savings were almost completely gone.
But Lana kept making him tip those two anchors managed by her as well as buying all sorts of branded clothes and bags for her.
He did not dare let her know that he was going to run out of money soon, afraid that she might scom him and leave him, Lana cried for a good while before pretending to let Lucas succeed in soothing her. He promised. âI will make sure to create an opportunity for you to meet Larissa.â
After Lana left, the atmosphere in the private room could no longer go back to the way it was, Even Mia did everything she could to change the subject and get people involved with chatting, and even If the guests did their best to cooperate with her, it was awkward. When they looked at Larissa, their gazes would have a hint of curiosity.
Larissa thought to herself, âLana still got what she wanted.â The only fortunate thing was that Violet never changed the way she treated herâexcept for taking her with her whenever she went for fear of Larissa being bullied by someone else.
Lucasâ parents also came over to apologize to her. âLucas brought Lana here. We have the responsibility to bear any mistakes that she has made.â
Larissa did not fuss with them over this. She could tell that they were not happy with Lana either.
So, the party ended on this rather strange note. Before leaving. Larissa held Chris for a bit, which got him attached to her all over again. and she could not let go. Later, she barely managed to get him to sleep. Only then could Rebecca lake him away.
On their way home, Violet rode in the same car as them.
âI didnât think that youâd be so popular with childrent Violet deliberately exclaimed.
arissa smiled and said. âItâs kinda amazing. But to be liked by kids like this really does put one in a good mood.â âIndeed!â Violet patted her hand and praised her. âYou will most definitely be a good mother in the future!â
