The Billionaire's Pet Bride Novel - Chapter 84
Chapter 84: You Can’t Beat Me
Lucas was playing in the living room, but when he thought of Maisy, he was a little anxious. Ever since Maisy’s trip to the capital, he hadn’t seen his mother for a long time. Even though he had always thought of himself as a very capable child who could solve everything on his own, he still missed Maisy every night. Lucas glanced at the wall clock in the living room. It was already late, so he didn’t know why his mother still hadn’t come to see him.
Just as he finished reading the picture book in his hand, he suddenly realized that someone had come from outside. Although he got along well with his grandmother, he still felt that she was a little too intimidating, so Lucas still preferred to stay by himself. He secretly opened the door a crack — it was his mother! Before he could shout, a few people had already grabbed his mother.
“Mommy!” Lucas shouted and ran out.
“Lucas!” Maisy only heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine.
“Why did you guys grab my mommy?” Lucas was very confused. Wasn’t this person his grandmother? That meant that she was his father’s mother. They should be a family!
Madeline didn’t say anything. She just pulled Lucas to her side. Lucas was a child after all. There was no way for him to break free. “Don’t get involved in adults’ matters,” Madeline said to Lucas with a smile. Lucas only felt that his grandma was very scary.
“Don’t be afraid, Lucas,” Maisy quickly said. “1’m talking to Grandma about some things. We won’t hurt you.” Even though she knew Madeline’s attitude, Maisy didn’t want to hurt Lucas’s feelings. She hoped that Lucas would understand that his family loved him.
“Go play in the room.” Madeline let go of Lucas.
He nodded obediently but didn’t close the door. He wanted to know what this grandmother wanted to do.
“What do you want?” Maisy held back her anger and tried to speak as calmly as possible.
“1’m just afraid that you will do something overboard, so it’s safer to talk to you like this.” Madeline was still very relaxed, “Don’t you know what the Hamilton family is like? Jay lives a leisurely life every day, but do you know how many people are coveting our family’s assets? You’ll never be able to enter the Hamilton family.”
“1 won’t enter the Hamilton family.” As Maisy listened to her insulting her, she felt stifled. “I won’t enter your family. Return Lucas to me.”
‘You said the same thing a few years ago.” Madeline was very dissatisfied. “But now, you’re back.”
“What do you want from me?” Maisy felt like she was going crazy. Could it be that this woman wanted the child now?
‘You don’t need to enter our family, but Lucas is quite good.” Madeline praised. “He’s better than his peers in all aspects.”
‘You want my child?” Maisy’s voice suddenly became louder. For so many years, she and Lucas were dependent on each other. She wouldn’t allow anyone to take Lucas away! “I won’t allow it! Absolutely not!” Maisy’s voice trembled as she realized that she didn’t have the qualifications and ability to fight against her at all.
“You don’t have confidence, do you?” Madeline was unmoved. “Even if you have some money, you won’t be able to win against me. ”
Maisy’s tears had already fallen. She suddenly realized that she had no way to refute. Although she had Jay’s love, a job, and a child, now that Jay wasn’t here, in Madeline’s eyes, she was still a woman who could be easily manipulated, like she was a few years ago..
