Chapter 255
Lucas never saw that look on Lydia’s face before. It was overbearing, arrogant, and full of pride, just like a schemer who had pulled off a trick and couldn’t help but secretly gloat.
‘How could this expression possibly appear on Lydia?’ Lucas thought. ‘No, no way. I must have been mistaken.
Lydia was the kindest person he had ever met. She always wore a friendly smile for everyone. She had even saved his life
once.
Back then, everyone thought he was done for, but Lydia was the only one who insisted on finding him. She carried him all the way back by herself, her hands rubbed raw, and nearly got herself into trouble because of it.
‘How could someone as good as Lydia ever make a face like that?’ Lucas thought, still unable to believe it.
Lucas shook his head and blinked, then looked at Lydia. She was walking arm in arm with Emma toward the dining table, her face glowing with warmth and a gentle smile. There was no sign at all of that smug look from earlier.
Lucas let out a sigh of relief. ‘See? I was just seeing things,’ he thought.
Maybe to make up for the guilt of his earlier misunderstanding, Lucas was attentive to Lydia at the dinner table.
Lydia had no idea what had gotten into him, but it didn’t stop her from feeling pleased. She glanced over at Emily’s empty plate.
With a raise of her eyebrows and a tone of smugness, Lydia said, “Lucas, don’t just keep serving me. Emily’s been staring at my plate. Why don’t you give her some, too?”
Lucas glanced over at,Emily and noticed that her bowl had nothing but vegetables. He couldn’t help but frown. “Didn’t you use to hate eating vegetables?”
Emily shrugged and said, “My tastes have changed.” Lucas didn’t like her attitude at all. It was as if the whole world owed her something.
