Chapter 288
Honestly, Lucas kept running away not just because he was mad or didn’t know how to face the Bennett Family; deep down, it was mostly fear.
He had never been treated this way by the Bennett Family before, and for the first time, he truly realized just how much Emily had been wronged by them.
And Lucas was actually one of the main reasons she had to suffer like that.
With all these tangled emotions, Lucas drifted around outside for days, completely out of it. During that time, it was as if the Bennett Family had totally forgotten he even existed, not a single call, not a word of concern.
For the very first time, Lucas felt lost and even a little scared about the home he’d grown up in. He couldn’t help but feel like he was turning into another Emily.
While Lucas was feeling lost, scared, and completely out of sorts, the first one from the Bennett Family to come looking for him was actually Lydia.

Looking at her eyes, all red from crying, he actually started to feel a little guilty.
Honestly, these past few days, Lucas still held a bit of a grudge against Lydia. After all, if it hadn’t been for her, he wouldn’t have gotten chewed out by his parents and Andrew.
But not only did Lydia not get mad at him for what he’d said, but she’d also even come to him first to apologize and make peace. He felt like he was the one being petty here.
Once Lucas promised he really wasn’t mad. Lydia let out a big sigh of relief and couldn’t help but rest her head on his
