Mrs. Woods rolled her eyes. "Which university are you sending Lucas to? Turlington University?" "I've contacted Turlington University, and it's not impossible to get Lucas in, but he will have to do so under a sports scholarship, and he might be reluctant to do so. After all, that means that he will need to go for training." "You sure care a lot about this son of yours!" Mrs. Woods said sarcastically. "Outside this family, he is a nobody, so I don't know why you are acting so carefully around him. Kasey Bennett is just having fun with the boy. I mean, she looks like the typical playgirl."

If he is that horrible at adapting to his surroundings, how is he going to survive in university? How is he going to keep a job once he graduates? Are you going to support him for the rest of his life?" Mrs. Woods sneered. "You have never been so caring toward Noah or Sam!

"Just because Lucas is rebellious, you are giving him more attention? How is that fair to Sam and Noah?"

"Stop it, Mom." Noah tapped his mother on the shoulder. "Lucas is my younger brother, and it's normal that Dad needs to pay more attention to him. Besides, Lucas is not great at studying and Dad needs to spend that much more effort in helping him find a great university, or he might not be able to get a job when he graduates. Wouldn't that be even more troublesome?" "Even Noah understands, yet you are here arguing withover this!" Furious, Mr. Woods slammed his spoon down onto the table and stormed out.

"I've contacted Turlington University, and if that's where you want to go..." "I'm not going to Turlington University," Lucas said with determination.
Seeing that Lycas seemed to have a plan in mind, Mr. Woods asked, "Where do you want to go, though You don't have good grades that would qualify you for top ver universities.
