NovelOnlineLucas had run out of patience and did not want to continue the conversation. He thought that his father would just leave if he fell silent. To his bewilderment, Mr. Woods sat down on the couch and looked at him. "Chere. Let's talk." "What's there to talk about? Just say what you have to say." Lucas walked over in annoyance.
"Your mother called me." Mr. Woods watched as his son approached him. "Did you block your mother's number? She said she can't reach you, and when she tried to call you using a different number, you won't pick up." "Yeah, I blocked her number," Lucas admitted. "Is there anything else?" Mr. Woods took a few deep breaths and said, "Your mother was in tears when she called me. She toldthat—" "I don't want to hear it." Lucas interrupted him. "If that's all, I'm going back to my room." "Lucas!" Mr. Wood stood from the couch and hurried over to Lucas. "Your mother said a lot to me. She had toldthat she had purposely not told you anything when she hadpick you up. She toldthat you two have been arguing a lot, and you won't listen to her. She felt like she was no longer capable of educating you, and she only made such a decision because she didn't want you to go down the wrong path. If she had tried to discuss this with you, you wouldn't have listened and might have even run away from home." "She sure knows me," Lucas said sarcastically.

"I didn't abandon you on purpose either. When I broke up with your mom, I didn't even know that she was pregnant. She never even toldabout it after giving birth to you. I only heard about this from someone else. When I found out that you are my son, I wanted to bring you here right away, but your mom refused to hand you over and threatened to kill herself if I tried." Lucas clenched his fists as his mother had never said such things to him before.
"Your mother loves you. Why else would she raise you?" Mr. Woods sighed. "She is dating someone, but she only agreed to see that man to get you to leave with me. That man has treated her well, and hopefully, they will get married soon. Your mother wants you t-" "Impossible," Lucas said.
"Fine! You are your own person. Maybe you will know that your mother and aren't bad people when you have children of your own someday," Mr. Woods said. "Just letknow which university you would like to attend and I'll make the calls. If it's in the country, you will need to take the exam..." "I want to go overseas," Lucas said.
"Lucas, you are my son. Why would I want to see you go? Like your mom, I want you to succeed like your brothers." Mr. Wood tapped him on the shoulder. "If you want to travel overseas, you will need to learn a foreign language. Just think through and givethe nof the university once you make up your mind. I will find someone to give you language lessons," Mr.
Woods said before leaving. The next morning, Irene finished cooking, and she called Lucas for breakfast.

Mrs. Flores made the sauce. I had a taste, and it tastes great." Irene poured the sauce onto the pasta and pushed the plate toward Lucas.
"Mr. Lucas, about the secret I said that I was going to tell you..." she said hesitantly.
"I don't want to know." He took the plate to the dining room.
She watched as he walked away and knew that their friendship had ended.
She sat down on the chair inside the kitchen with her own portion of pasta. Shortly after, Lucas finished his food and strode back to his bedroom.
