Chapter 54

Natasha’s words hit Lucas right in the soul.

The people who knew the inside story all widened their eyes, their faces twisted with complicated, almost strange expressions.

The rest of the crowd might have been clueless, but those who had witnessed the proposal in the past knew the truth.

Lucas and Natasha were never just childhood friends. They’d been entangled for over a decade, and their breakup was still recent. They used to be madly in love.

Now, hearing Natasha call him “brother–in–law“, people felt that she was quite bold.

They couldn’t quite describe it, but everyone felt that Natasha was savage.

Even Faye was left speechless by Natasha’s words. She felt that Natasha switched up so fast.

But when she saw Lucas’s face, like his whole world had just collapsed, she suddenly felt a

rush of satisfaction.

She said, “Of course, I believe you. Sorry, I was being nosy. No idea who started all those rumors. Turns out a bunch of us got played.

“So, you two never dated? He is your brother–in–law, right? I get it now.”

Faye grinned and slipped back into the crowd with her mom.

Lucas’s face was a mess of red and pale, embarrassment and anxiety battling for control.

He was about to rush over to Natasha. “Natasha, it’s not like that…”

But before he could get close, his parents each grabbed an arm, holding him back.

Emmanuel gave him a cold, warning look and said in a low, stern voice, “Enough! Haven’t you embarrassed us enough today?

“You disappeared to get cozy with Olivia, and now we’re stuck cleaning up your mess. What trouble are you trying to stir up now?”

Margot spoke gently. “The engagement’s already been announced. We already swapped the bride once, we can’t do it again.

“You need to think about the Wright family. And honestly, do you really think Natasha’s going to listen to you right now?”

Lucas’s eyes were red with frustration. “Why?”

He looked at his parents. “You both know exactly who I want to marry.”

He’d just finished dealing with things on Olivia’s end and rushed back.

His heart was pounding with nerves since he was afraid he’d be too late for the engagement

announcement.

He thought his parents would play it by ear and maybe delay that part a little.

But on his way, he ran into a bunch of people, all smiling and saying, “Congratulations.”

He let out a sigh of relief, his smile as warm as spring sunshine.
