Usually, Lucas was fiddling with things by himself at this time, waiting for her mother to come home. With Jay around, the atmosphere at home was surprisingly harmonious. The two of them were having a lot of fun until sunset. Perhaps it was the natural attraction between father and son. When Maisy
returned home, she heard Lucas’s laughter.
She took out her keys and opened the door. When she bent down to change her shoes, she asked, “What is it? You’re so happy.” Maisy turned around and was stunned the moment she saw Jay. It was like her blood have stopped flowing, she was paralyzed on the spot. The two of them looked at each other
from a distance.
The memories in Jay’s heart awakened. The time he spent with Maisy was still vivid in his mind.
“Long time no see,” Maisy greeted him awkwardly.
Lucas looked at the two of them, his eyes full of doubt. The two of them froze on the spot. Jay could not say a word at all.
“Mom, this is the uncle that looks like dad! I told you before!” Lucas could not care less. He rushed to Maisy and gave her a bear hug, “Mommy, I’m hungry. I want to eat. Uncle, do you want to stay for dinner?”
Jay nodded.
With Lucas around, Maisy had no choice but to go to the kitchen and put on an apron. Maisy was still in a daze. She was still immersed in the panic of meeting Jay again. Why would Jay appear here? Wasn’t seven years enough time to forget her? Was he here to look for his child?
Maisy did not dare to think too much about it. She had actually been paying attention to Jay’s movements. Jay was very outstanding, he often showed up in the finance and economics section of the newspaper. His company had expanded in a large scale and was well-managed.
Maisy was cooking based on her muscle memory. She was too absent-minded and accidentally cut her finger. She cried out in pain.
The father and son who were sitting in the living room immediately rushed in. When they saw Maisy’s finger that was bleeding, Lucas immediately carried the medical kit. He carefully treated Maisy’s wound. “Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look like you’ve lost your soul when you see Uncle
Jay? Could he really be my dad?” Lucas asked.
Maisy hugged Lucas and snapped at her forehead. “How is that possible? You read the newspaper and know how rich Uncle Jay is. Do I have to work so hard if he is your dad?” Maisy raised her head and looked at Jay. She explained, “This kid doesn’t know what he’s talking. Please don’t mind.”
Jay Hamilton looked at Maisy. Maisy had not changed much over the years. She was still the same. However, after giving birth, her innocence and tenderness had lessened, and she looked more mature. It was like a pot of wine that had been brewing for many years. Jay could already smell the mellow
fragrance of Maisy. How could he let her go again?
“Idon’t mind. Lucas said that he doesn’t have a father. I think I can be his father.” Jay said with a smile.
Lucas looked at Jay in surprise and pounced on him happily. “Mom, Uncle Jay said that he wants to be my father! I have a father too!”
Maisy quickly pulled her child to her side. When she looked at Jay, panic flashed in her eyes. She didn’t want Jay to take Lucas away from her. She had raised Lucas single-handedly, and they were inseparable. She had already lost her grandfather, so she could not lose Lucas as well! Therefore, she tactfully
rejected him, “Lucas, don’t talk nonsense. Uncle Jay is just joking. Hurry up and help mommy cook.”
As for Jay, he was pushed out of the kitchen. What Lucas said was right. As soon as she saw Jay, she would think of that unbearable period and become unlike herself. She was living very well now. She had a smart son and a stable life. She did not want to live the life she used to be.
She did not understand how Jay found her and what his purpose was. In any case, she would not compromise anymore.
