"What? There's something like this?" Sylvia Scott's anger flared up as soon as she heard Aidan Lucas mention that Theodore Lucas wanted to rejoin the family tree.
"These mistresses and illegitimate children are truly shameless. Snatching your dad was bad enough, but now they even want to kick your mother out of the family tree! How outrageous—how could there be such people... And your father as well, how could he..."
Sylvia's outspoken nature did not shy away from her feelings, but her words stumbled as she suddenly remembered that Theodore Lucas was Aidan's father, after all.
It felt inappropriate to speak so harshly in front of him.
"Sorry, I've said too much. I shouldn't have spoken of your father like that."
"It's fine." Aidan Lucas curled his lips, his smile carrying a hint of coldness.
