Chapter 228
At the moment of exposure, Thurston actually breathed a sigh of relief-the heavy stone pressing on his heart finally fell to the ground. There would be no more burden on his conscience going forward.
While Lucy was accompanying Seven to eat, she took her phone out of her bag.
Just after replying to Jane’s message, she caught a glimpse of the friend request. Without the slightest hesitation, she deleted it directly.
The moment she deleted it, only one thought crossed her mind: “At least he hasn’t completely forgotten how to be a human being p>
She reopened her chat with Jane and sent a message: [He’s gone back. He might go trouble your Mr. Thurston p>
Jane’s voice message came quickly, her tone full of indifference: [Let him! Let the men solve their own problems. It’s not like they’ll kill each other anyway p>
Immediately after, another voice message arrived: [Honestly, having Seven discovered isn’t necessarily bad. At least you don’t have to guard against him anymore. Most importantly, he wouldn’t dare try to snatch the child from you. Why don’t you just bring Seven back for the New Year p>
After listening, Lucy replied: [After we finish our vacation, I’ll bring him back to see you all p>
Just as she put away her phone, Seven beside her lifted his little head and asked, “Mommy, where are we going back to? Is it back to our own home p>
“After the vacation, Mommy will take you to meet Jane, Molly, and Locke.” Lucy pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth.
“Yay!” Seven’s eyes lit up, and he added, “And Uncle Sterling p>
Lucy couldn’t help but smile and nodded.
Ever since Wyatt Sterling had met Seven, he had been mailing all sorts of toys from home almost every other day, with toy cars being the most frequent.
Jules, hearing this, chimed in, “I’ll go back with you guys then p>
“You’re returning too?” Lucy raised an eyebrow at him.
“You’re all going back. It’s pointless for me to stay here alone p>
Jules took a sip of the juice in front of him, his tone relaxed. “Besides, I can be your tour guide when we get back p>
Lucy nodded slightly. “You might not be as familiar with the country as I am. Are you sure you can be a guide p>
Jules smiled somewhat awkwardly. After all, he had gone abroad right after reaching adulthood, so indeed, he wasn’t as familiar as Lucy.
Seven chewed on his food and mumbled indistinctly, “Mommy, I want to prepare gifts for Molly and Locke too p>
“Of course. When we get back, we’ll go pick them out together.” Lucy raised her hand and ruffled his soft hair.
Two days later, just as Kingsley stepped out of the airport, he saw Thurston waiting outside.
Ethan spotted Thurston at a glance and immediately leaned in to tease, “Yo, Mr. Thurston. Here specifically to offer a humble apology p>
Thurston glanced at him and retorted unceremoniously, “I’m here to pick up Kingsley, not you. Take a taxi back yourself later p>
“Sigh, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have wasted my breath p>
Ethan immediately put on a wounded expression and sighed exaggeratedly. “I was even speaking up for you in front of Kingsley What mistake to have such friends
At this moment, Kingsley walked forward. Thurston reached out and patted his shoulder, his voice

ene concern. Is your
health okay p>
He knew Kingsley had coughed up blood from acute stress before. As a brother, he was worried.
Kingsley glanced at him faintly and replied with a single sentence: “More than enough to deal with you p>
Thurston smiled helplessly, his tone
frank. “I’m not running. Wait until
your body is fully recovered.
However you want to handleat, I’ll
