The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 498 Home

"Aunty..." Lucas muttered hesitantly. He did not know whether he should go over or not.

"Hurry up, Luca," Mandy urged him as she pushed Lucas forward.

Right now, Mandy just wanted the two of them to become fond of each other as soon as possible so that Lucas's life would be better if Susan decided to take in him in the future. Lucas carefully approached Susan at Mandy's instruction.

Susan then scooped him up from the ground and gave him a genial smile. "Luca, let's go and play at aunty's house for a few days, okay?"

"Alright." Lucas nodded obediently, making Susan's heart melt. She liked him even more upon seeing how obedient and soft he was.

After washing up and putting on some nice clothes that Susan had asked the servant to take to him last night, he looked just like a n adorable doll right now.

Susan could not help herself and moved forward to kiss Lucas' cheek.

Lucas blinked when Susan kissed him.

Then, after he thought for a while, he gave Susan a peck on the cheek as well, which delighted Susan even more.

A surge of relief rolled over Mandy when she saw the two of them getting along pretty well.

"Susie, you're tired. Pass him to me," Julian said. He could not bear looking at Lucas' pitiful and chubby face anymore.

After all, he had not kissed his wife in months, so he could not hold back when he saw her get kissed by an unfledged kid.

Jealousy began to flood his heart. Julian felt that he could become a millionaire if he built a vinegar factory.

Susan did not know about Julian's thoughts. She figured that since Lucas was going to live with them in the future, it would be good for them to bond.

Julian took Lucas and stared at him.

'This little sh*t just innocently kissed my wife...'

The more Julian thought about it, the more depressed he felt. In the end, he gave in to his inner demon and gave Lucas' cheek a pinch.

Lucas was a sensitive kid and could sense that Julian did not like him very much. After he was pinched by Julian, the alarm in his heart went off. His face crumpled, and his eyes scrunched up before tears came out of them.

Everyone looked at them.

Julian's fingers were still pinching Lucas's cheek, so he was caught red-handed.

"What the hell are you doing?" Susan grabbed Lucas from Julian exasperatedly." Luca is just a kid. How can you be so mean to a kid, huh?"

"I..." Just as Julian was about to say something, Chesney shot him a contemptuous glare and said, "Daddy is the worst. Not only did he mess up Chessie's hair in the morning, but he's bullying Luca right now." Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Mandy hastily went forward to comfort Lucas. "Luca, Uncle is not bullying you. Uncle likes you very much. That's why he pinched your cheek." 'He is not bullying Luca? He likes Luca?'

Lucas blinked at Julian and then said in his little boy voice, "Please forgive me, Uncle. Uncle likes Luca, so Luca shouldn't cry."

"It's okay. It's okay." Julian had no choice but to smile at him awkwardly.

"Luca is such a good boy." Susan could not resist planting another kiss on his cheek, which earned her a kiss from Lucas as well.

Julian was speechless. The jealousy in his heart ballooned so much that he was on the verge of exploding. As the green-eyed monster made him suffer, he lifted Chesney up from the ground and told her," Chessie, give daddy a kiss."

'Hmph! I have a little darling as well.'

"No way. Daddy's beard is prickly." Chesney refused without any qualms.

Julian was left speechless again.

The plane was soon ready, and they boarded.

Before she went on the plane, Mandy turned her head around to look at America and relapsed into a trance.

"What's wrong?" Susan asked softly.

Mandy turned her head back and then said in a low tone, "Susie, can I really see Luke when we get back to Canada?"

"Yes, I promise you," Susan assured her.

The troubled expression faded from her face, but the emotion in her eyes deepened.

It had been three years since she had come to the States. During these three years, she had left everything that was familiar to her behind and had come to America alone just to look for Luke. However, in the end, she had to return to Canada if she wanted to see Luke again. All the suffering she had experienced over the past three years felt like a joke to her.

Mandy forced this complex emotion back down to her stomach pit and boarded the plane.

When they reached Canada, the plane landed at the airport with a whoosh.

Julian had not informed anybody about their landing time, so no one had come to pick them up from the airport.

The moment Mandy set her foot on this familiar land, her eyes reddened around the rims.

She had only returned to Canada once over the years, and this was the second time she set her foot on the land where she had been born.

She figured that she would not leave again, but passing the rest of her life in her homeland until death came to pick her up was probably a form of happiness. "Why are you crying, mommy?" Lucas asked, looking confused.

"Luca " Mandy picked Lucas up and said warmly to him, "This is Canada. Here is where mommy was born and grew up.

From now on, this will be Luca's home as well."

"Luca's home?" Lucas mumbled as a baffled expression dawned on his face. "Then why didn't we come back here in the past?" 'Why didn't we come back here in the past?'

This was because there was someone who was more important to Mandy than her home.

Mandy wiped the tears off her eyes and said in a hushed voice, "Let's leave the past behind, Luca. From now on, this will be your home." "Alright. Luca will go wherever mommy goes." Lucas smiled, creating a small dimple on his cheek that made him look even more adorable. Mandy's heart melted.

She owed Lucas too much. Fortunately, Susan had promised her that she would help her take care of Lucas, and she reckoned that Lucas would be much happier living with Susan than with her. "The car is here. Let's go home first," Susan chimed in.

"Okay," Mandy said as she wiped the tear off her eyes.

All of them returned to the Shaw Mansion.

When Lucas saw the majestic building in front of him, he wrapped his arms even tighter around Mandy and looked around curiously with his little eyes.

Everything he had experienced in these two days was new to Lucas. Not only had he been given many good-looking clothes, but he'd also had a chance to board a massive plane. The food on the plane had been the most delicious food he had ever had in his entire life.

Now, there was a massive, beautiful house before him.

"Mommy, is Luca dreaming?" Lucas asked as he looked with dewy eyes at Mandy.

Mandy's heart trembled when she looked a t Lucas. Lucas should have lived a life like this, but she had destroyed his life.

Seeing that Mandy was going to cry again, Susan hastily pulled Lucas over and asked, "Do you like this place, Luca?"

"Yes, I like it very much." Lucas nodded obediently.

"Then do you want to stay here?" Susan asked softly.

"Can I?" Lucas' eyes glowed.

"Of course you can," Susan replied with a smile as she nodded.

"Then mommy... Is mommy staying here too?" Lucas asked.

Susan caressed his head gently. "Of course, your mommy is staying with us."

Lucas threw his hands up in the air happily. He turned around to hug Mandy's leg and said, "Mommy, mommy, we can stay in this big house."

"Yeah." Mandy nodded with tears in her eyes.
