Chapter 780: Chapter 780

Aurora grabbed Lucas’ hand warmly. “Let’s go see Molly!”

Lucas glanced at Rafael and Allie, seeking permission. With their nod, he smiled. “Okay!”

Hand in hand, the two children scampered off.

The adults trailed behind, making their way toward Molly.

Adrian was holding the baby. Aurora, still holding Lucas’ hand, instructed, “You can touch her, just be very gentle. Don’t hurt my sister.”

Lucas turned to Adrian and asked respectfully, “Sir, may I touch Aurora?”

Adrian gently set Molly down in the crib and brought the children closer.

For Lucas, this was his first encounter with such a small baby. He reached out a finger, finding her rather cute. He wished he had a sister too.

As his finger caressed her arm, he marveled at her softness and warmth, careful not to press too firmly for fear of causing her harm.

Suddenly, Molly reached out and caught Lucas’ finger.

Holding his breath, Lucas asked, “Sir, what should I do?”

Adrian carefully loosened Molly’s grip, and she let out a giggle, amused by the interaction.

“Molly seems to have taken a liking to you,” Adrian said, his voice tinged with sadness.

The thought of his daughters growing up and getting married one day was a bittersweet notion he knew he’d have to face.

Lucas, feeling a bit shy, admitted, “I like her too.”

Overwhelmed, Adrian said, “It’s time for Molly to sleep. Why don’t you children go and play outside?”

As the celebration wound down, Rafael found a moment to speak with Adrian privately. “Adrian, do you remember the Ricard family lately?”

“Jonathan Ricard?”

With a nod, Rafael continued, “He sent a letter for you.” Adrian thought of Jonathan’s mother, who had been close to his own biological mother, Raelyn, as he took the letter. Before he could open it, a distressed cry echoed from Molly’s room. “Help me!”

Rushing in, Adrian saw Lucas trying to comfort a crying Molly, carefully supporting her without squeezing too tightly.

He was on the floor, the crib dismantled around him.

By the time the adults arrived, Leah had already settled both children. But she was visibly shaken.

“This crib was supposed to be the best. How did it just collapse?”

Joelle and Adrian were far more concerned with Molly’s well-being than the crib. Their main worry was whether she had been hurt.

Fortunately, Lucas had quickly reacted, rescuing the newborn but scraping his arm badly in the process.
