Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 1120:

“If they find out, then they won’t arrange any more blind dates for me.”noveldrama

Molly’s fingers twisted anxiously against one another as she voiced the question that had plagued her thoughts throughout the night. “Lucas, are we in a relationship now?”

“Huh?” His expression turned to one of genuine bewilderment. “We’ve already kissed. Am I not your boyfriend yet? You’re quite the player for someone so young.”

“What are you talking about?” Molly delivered another punch to his arm before straightening her posture defensively. “I just don’t want my family to know so soon.”

“Look at Aurora—her freedom has been completely restricted since my family discovered her relationship with Dunn. Besides, Dunn’s schedule is so demanding they barely see each other once a week.”

Lucas nodded, his earlier teasing giving way to understanding. “I heard that when they do manage to see each other, Dunn refuses to leave home all day, wishing he could be with Aurora twenty-four hours a day.”

“Exactly.” Molly fixed her gaze on him, a silent plea in her eyes. “So, can you not be too obvious in front of your parents?”

Lucas pressed his lips into a thin line, his silence eloquent with reluctance.

Sensing his disappointment, Molly reached for his hand, her voice softening into a gentle coax. “I will agree to whatever you say.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

“Then forget shopping. I’ll take you somewhere else.”

The “somewhere else” materialized as a pristine lakeside sanctuary, sheltered from the world by nature itself.

Vehicles weren’t permitted on the landscape. Molly remained in her seat, drinking in the panoramic solitude that stretched before them. In the vast emptiness, only a pair of birds cavorted against the sky, unwitting witnesses to their private moment.

The instant Lucas liberated himself from his seat belt, he turned to her with undisguised intent, cradling her face between his palms before claiming her lips with fervent urgency.

Molly jerked backward, her eyes wide with alarm as she pushed against his chest. “Are you crazy?”

“I just want this,” he murmured, his voice a velvet caress against her skin. “Let me kiss you, my princess…”

Though hesitation fluttered through her initially, Molly surrendered to the tender assault of his deepening kiss. Unbeknownst to the enraptured couple, movement stirred within the seemingly innocuous shrubbery nearby.

Disguised in matching oversized sunglasses and conspicuous hats, Allie and Rafael huddled behind the dense bushes.

“Wow, Lucas is such a pro at this,” Allie whispered appreciatively. “Rafael, you should learn from him.”

Rafael’s expression clouded with paternal indignation as he averted his gaze from the intimate scene. “Nonsense! That’s Joelle and Adrian’s daughter!”

Allie seized his arm. “So what? Lucas is our son! I fully support their relationship!”

Despite Lucas not being their biological son, Allie’s heart held no doubts—he stood equal to any child of blood. She’d always held firm to one truth: it wasn’t about who gave birth, but who poured their heart into raising the child.
