PopularNovelChapter 1900 The moment Molly first stared at Lucas, she was dazzled by his charming good looks. She stood up bashfully and held out her hand to Lucas.
"H-Hello, I'm Molly..." said the shy girl.
Lucas nodded but did not shake her hand. "Hi. Please, have a seat." Molly was so embarrassed with her hand still hanging in the air, so she took back her hand and sat down uneasily.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric and Beatrice exchanged glances, startled by Lucas' reaction. How could he embarrass the poor girl like that? Lucas sat gracefully on the armchair and started ssmall talk with the guests like a gentleman. He was polite yet somehow distant. The guests understood that he had no interest in entertaining them, so they excused themselves before long.
After Cedric and Beatrice saw the guests off, they turned and glared at Lucas.
"Lucas! You don't know what you're missing! Molly is such a nice girl, yet you wouldn't even show a friendly smile to her? How rude of you!" said Beatrice angrily.
"Grandma, I'm not ready to get married yet. You and Grandpa really should stop trying to setup with sgirls," replied Lucas indifferently.
Cedric scoffed and said, "You're not ready to get married, you say? When will you be ready for that? Are you planning to stay single for the rest of your life? You're over thirty, and it's tto start a family! Even Sunny and Moonie have found their other half. You're their elder brother, so you should start planning too!" Lucas shrugged. "I quite enjoy my single life now. What's there to plan?" "Y-You little brat..." Beatrice clutched her chest and started gasping.
Lucas quickly stood up to hold her. "Grandma, are you okay? Quick! Get Grandma's heart medicine!" "No! Leave it! I won't take it!" said Beatrice stubbornly.
Lucas frowned. "Grandma, you have a heart condition. How can you not take your medicine?" "You being single is the biggest cause of my heart condition! No medicine can cure that!" said Beatrice resentfully. "Lucas, if you don't like an arranged marriage, fine, your grandfather and I will stay out of it. But you have to bring ha decent wife for US within one month! Otherwise, I'd rather die of a heart attack than take those darn pills!" Beatrice's behavior startled Lucas. "Grandma, you're..." "Let's go, dear. We shouldn't bother talking to him as long as he doesn't bring US a granddaughter-in-law." Beatrice would not take any excuses from him, so she dragged Cedric away.
"Hmph! You ungrateful brat. All you know is to provoke your grandmother!" Cedric scoffed before he and Beatrice returned to their bedroom.

The following night, in a pub in New Capital City...
"Drink up! Showwhat you've got! That's right!" Wendy Sander pushed Melody Sander's arm and watched her finish the alcohol in the glass.
When Melody downed the alcohol in one gulp, she could feela pain in her throat as if the inside of her throat Επ was burning. "Wendy, I can't drink anymore."
"You promised to drink with me! You only drank a few glasses, and now you're quitting? Melody, I just broke up with my boyfriend! Isn't that sad enough? Are you trying to cause further upset to your heartbroken sister now?" whined Wendy as she took a bottle and poured Melody another glass of alcohol. Melody would not dare to upset her sister as Wendy might take it out on her mother if she disobeyed her.
"Fine, Wendy. But this will be my last drink."
Wendy thought of an idea. She took a different bottle of alcohol and poured it into the glass. "Sure, one last drink!"
