Chapter 1316 He Loves My Mom

It was at this moment that Lucius realized that Wynter was already aware of things, especially his feelings. Hence, he didn’t bother hiding it anymore and turned his gaze back at Wynter.

“I’ve done something that displeased your mother. She probably sees me as a rogue who disrupted another family and tore them apart now.”

“Forgive me for speaking bluntly, but even if my mother hadn’t divorced, you probably wouldn’t have given up on her, right?” Wynter added, “You’re way better than that father of mine.”

It was this comment that restored Lucius‘ confidence. Really?”

“Absolutely. If we judge solely by appearance, you’re definitely more handsome than him. I’m sure you have more money, too.” She counted on her fingers thoughtfully before continuing, “But most importantly, you care about my mother.”

Lucius didn’t deny it and instead lowered his voice. “So, by having this discussion, are you suggesting that you can assist me in pursuing your mother?”

Wynter didn’t reply to that.

Lucius continued, “I don’t see her as someone to be bartered over.”

Wynter smiled, her tear mole shining brighter than ever. “I’m glad we’re on the same page, Mr. Luce. I don’t think my mother should be part of any kind of exchange, either.”

It seemed clear to Wynter now that Lucius truly loved Marie deeply. She’d heard that he had never married to this day. Wynter couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been waiting for Marie all along.

Lucius looked puzzled. “Then what is this discussion for?”

“We’re both businesspeople. I’m here to discuss a deal with you–one that benefits us both.” Wynter tapped on her phone as a smile tugged at the corner of her lips.

Lucius raised an eyebrow. “A deal?”

Wynter leaned in and lowered her voice. Her words were inaudible to everyone except Lucius. In just a few seconds, the bodyguards could see that her words sparked clear interest on Lucius‘ face.

In the world of business, someone like Lucius, who took matters seriously, was the epitome of it.

His eyes grew darker with interest. “That sounds very promising and quite bold. When Marie told me that you wanted to deal with the Wray family, I didn’t quite believe it. After all, few have the audacity you do.”

“It’s just the Wrays,” Wynter said with a slight smile. “Now it’s up to you. Mr. Luce, are you in or not?”

Lucius lowered his gaze and pondered briefly.

Wynter reminded him at the right time, “My grandfather is watching. I’m sure you heard earlier how the Wray family spoke about my mother. They’ve also been taking advantage of my grandfather’s age to seize resources and connections from the Whitman family.”

The implication was clear. It was time for Lucius to prove himself and not miss this opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Lucius looked up and glanced at Wynter. “You’re sly. This is quite different from her.”

“My mother has a pure heart. So, Mr. Luce, you’ll have to deal with the consequences of your actions.” Wynter smiled. “Here’s a hint. I actually think you should focus your efforts on my grandfather.”

Lucius sighed deeply internally. Did he really need that hint? Reuben had always been wary of foreign

investments in the Chamber of Commerce and was even less likely to have a favorable view of him.

So, Wynter was right. He needed to make a good impression.

“I’ll do as you suggest,” Lucius said, seeming to think of something else before adding, “Can you guarantee that my intentions won’t be misunderstood by your mother and the Whitman family?”

Wynter nodded. “Don’t worry, Mr. Luce. There won’t be any misunderstandings with me around.”

“I’ll be the bad guy, then,” Lucius said thoughtfully. His voice was low as he continued, “About what happened last night… Please help me explain to your mother.”

Wynter was puzzled. She had no idea what had transpired the previous night. Despite this, she nodded. After all, she had already extracted all the necessary information from their conversation.
