A Relentless Pursuit for Love
Chapter 394

Chapter 394

There was a tea room on the floor below the hall. Lucas ordered a pot of tea to help them bounceback after drinking. The waiter filled the cup with tea. The tea fragrance overflowed and helped cleartheir mind.

"As you get older, you have to learn to take care of your body. It's better to drink more tea and lessalcohol.”

Lucas's voice was mellow and clear. His calin demeanor as he took a sip of tea showed the grace ofan elder. If it were not for those rough, calloused palms, no one would know that Lucas wasoriginally from the countryside.

It took him thirty years to change his image as a countryside man. The young generation would notthink of Lucas as the Yuriel family’s son-in-law. Instead, they recognized him as the famous andsuave Chief Spencer.

Jace was seated across Lucas. He sat for a long time without saying a word and remainedexpressionless.

The father and son were sitting face to face. If one looked carefully, their lips were the strongestsimilarity between them. Jace's facial features did not resemble his father, especially his eyes andeyebrows. He resembled his mother, Freya, more.

Freya and Jace both looked fierce, particularly when they stayed silent. They always exuded a senseof oppression and intimidated others. That was the reason why Lucas did not meet up with his sonvery often. Somehow, he could see the shadow of Freya in Jace's eyes.

His throat moved slightly. He asked inadvertently, “Is your mother well?”

"She's fine,” Jace finally spoke indifferently.

Lucas paused a little. Then, he asked, “About her leg...” Jace arched his eyebrows and cut him offright away. “Why are you here? Cut to the chase.” “That temper of yours... You're just like yourmother.” Lucas was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled nicely and looked at Jace gently. “You're myson. Can't we just sit down and chat?”

Jace could feel nothing but restlessness in him. People always said that a daughter was closer to herfather, while the son was closer to his mother. However, Jace was really close with his father whenhe was a child.

A gentle father was more amiable as compared with a strict mother. His father made small toys forhim and let him ride on his back like a horse. He even brought him out secretly to buy snacks andgo to the arcade to play games...

A tiger mom and a gentle dad were a true portrayal of his childhood family. The family of three livedhappily for a while, but things changed. When did it start to change? Did it start when his father'scareer prospered? Did it start when his parents saw each other less? Did it happen when theirneighbor Luna became Lucas's secretary?

He could barely remember anymore. He did not know when it started, but his parents oftenquarreled. This lasted for ten years and happened throughout his adolescence.

It was until one day when his mother came home drunk. She smashed, ripped, and cut everythingabout Lucas in the house. She even wanted to take the scissors to cut off his mouth.
