Chapter 738

Anya was completely shocked because Lucas had never spoken so harshly to her before.

“But I really, really love him… You of all people should know that…”

Lucas knitted his brows together. “It takes two to make a relationship work. Yours is a one- sided love. If the other

party doesn’t love you, then it doesn’t matter what you do, he still won’t love you. Why don’t you let him go, Anya?

Time will heal all wounds and you’ll definitely come out better for it.”

Anya’s eyes immediately reddened as tears spilled out of her eyes. “Lucas, what’s the matter with you? Did Corinne

say something to you? Why does it feel like you have completely become another person? Don’t you love me

anymore?”

No matter how annoyed Lucas was with Anya, there was one thing he could not stand to see and that was her

crying. She was still his baby sister after all. ‘Maybe I was a little too harsh on her…‘ he thought.

Lucas patted Anya on the shoulder in a bid to comfort her, “Come now, don’t cry. I only want what’s good for you,

Anya. Do you know how much it hurts me to see you losing yourself over Jeremy?”

Anya rubbed her tear–stained face against Lucas‘ arm. “But I really, really love him! I can’t help myself…”

Lucas put his hand to his forehead to quell the throbbing headache that was starting to show itself. ‘The gods must

be playing a joke on me! Why did both of my sisters have to fall for the same man? Why do I have to be caught in

the middle?‘

After sending Anya, who was tired out by all the crying, home, Lucas went straight to his office. Now that there

were only the two of them, Edmund deigned to ask, “Mister Lucas, how did the talk with Miss Corinne go? Did she

accept you as her brother?”

Lucas threw his head back and pinched the space between his brows. “What do you think?” After a few seconds of

silence, Edmund said comfortingly, “Miss Corinne went through a lot when she was growing up in the countryside

which gave way to her strong independent character so it’s perfectly understandable if she needs some time to

process the sudden news.”

Lucas closed his tired eyes and chuckled self–deprecatingly. “No, that’s not it. She knew I was her brother a long

time ago.”

“She knew before you told her?” Edmund asked with a frown.

“Yeah,” replied Lucas with a heavy sigh. “She knew from the very beginning and yet she didn’t say anything in all

the times I treated her harshly. She only sees me as a stranger so… knowing all this, do you think she’ll ever come

to accept me as her brother?”

“Well… if you put it that way, it would be kinda hard for that to happen. But why didn’t she say anything if she

knew? Does she not want to be welcomed back to the family and to know what it feels like to be loved by the

people who shared the same blood as her?”

“Maybe that just goes to show how much she hates me…” Lucas curled his lips into a self- mocking smile.

Edmund had witnessed for himself the lengths Lucas would go to to protect Anya from

Corinne and to be honest, he did think Lucas went overboard a little. Thus, he sighed heavily and said, “Have

patience, Mister Lucas. I’m sure Miss Corinne would slowly come to accept you eventually.”

Lucas remained silent because he knew the chances of that happening were very, very slim. ‘ Luna isn’t doing this

because she’s mad at me… She’s doing this because she doesn’t need me at all! She doesn’t care to have a rich

and powerful brother or father… No, if she did, she would have come running to tell us she’s Luna the first second

she found out who she really is. And yet here I am… always thinking she’s a scheming social climber who’s h*llbent

of marrying a rich guy…‘
