Even today, despite her hatred for Lucas, she could not be cold to Lucas’ parents.
“Mom…” Madison called out awkwardly, “Lucas said over the phone that you were unwell. What’s wrong?”
Lucas’s mother glared at her,” If I didn’t say that, would you have thought to come by?”
Looking at her daughter-in-law’s expression, the wise and intelligent Lucas’s mother had a vague guess about what was going on.
Just as she was about to ask, the door was opened from outside.
The first thing the Brooks family saw was Lucas holding Sophia, who was pretending to be pregnant, as they entered with smiles on their faces.
ven had the nerve to call out, “Dad, Mom.”
early, Sophia’s addressing was permitted by Lucas.
Because Madison noticed that after listening to Sophia calling his parents, Lucas did not look displeased.
On the other hand, Brooks’ parents were stunned.
Soon, Lucas, with Sophia in tow, came over. He seemed guilty and didn’t dare to look at Madison sitting there. He got straight to the point, “Mom and Dad, Sophia is pregnant. As a man, I can’t abandon my responsibilities. You always told me to be a responsible man, I can’t let my child be fatherless. So, this time, whether you agree or not, I am going to marry Sophia.”
After Lucas finished speaking, he surprisingly knelt down.

Madison clearly saw Lucas’s knees pressing against the carpet.
In her memory, he was an extremely proud, even somewhat arrogant
man.
That he could beg on his knees to ensure Sophia’s smooth entry was indeed…
Madison finally laughed.
At this moment, there was no pain in her heart, only a sense of relief.
Such a man, it was good that she let go early.
It turns out that heartbreak could happen in an instant.
Just now, Brooks’ grandmother, who just came down, heard all of her grandson’s words. She was leaning on her cane, her snowy white hair, bearing the marks of time.

There was a swirl of tears and deep guilt in Brooks’ grandma’s eyes.
She was already eighty years old, what hasn’t she seen?
With this scene, it only took her a glance to understand.
The Brooks family was small, so in the past year, Brooks’ parents had been constantly urging Madison and Lucas to have a child.
However, Madison had her difficulties and could only ambiguously say that Lucas was busy with work.

Now, the words that Lucas said completely nailed Madison to the stage of a clown.
Brooks’ grandma sat down heavily, her gaze sharp and terrifying. She held the top of her cane, looking at her grandson who was kneeling on the ground and refusing to get up.
Lucas’s parents gradually regained their senses, particularly Lucas’ mother, whose face was extremely unpleasant.
“Lucas.”
Brooks’ grandma called out.
Behind them, Sophia was furious seeing Madison still sitting there.
But to marry Lucas and use his money to pave the way for her own stardom was important. So, she could endure this for now!
Just wait until she becomes an international superstar, all these people here have to look at her face!
“If you insist on marrying this woman, Grandma doesn’t mind letting your mother work a few more years to manage the company. After all, I don’t want to ruin the little foundation of the Brooks family in the hands of a fool!”
Brooks’ grandma spoke sharply, “You just talked about a man’s responsibility and duty?”
Lucas, unashamed, maintained his assertive posture, “Yes! Sophia is the woman I love, and now she is carrying my child. How can I ignore her?”
