Chapter 823: Conflicted

Chapter 821 Conflicted

Florence’s threat made Lucas extremely uncomfortable.

She knew that Cheyenne was extremely important to Lucas, so she used her to threaten him.

But Lucas really had no solution to this.

Just as Florence said, it was impossible for Lucas to make her shut up. No matter what, she was Cheyenne’s biological mother, so there was no way he could go overboard with her.

But if she told Cheyenne about these things, with her gentle personality, she would most likely choose to help Florence. If that happened, Lucas would have no choice but to stand on their side and help Florence take revenge.

Florence was indeed extremely smart but extremely heartless as well.

Even after Florence’s car drove far away, Lucas was still standing in front of the Stardust Corporation’s office building with a conflicted look. What should I do?

Florence didn’t actually love Cheyenne at all, and now, she just wanted to use Cheyenne and her relationship with Lucas to get him involved so that he would help her take revenge.

So from this perspective, Lucas didn’t want to help her at all.

If other people dared to make use of Cheyenne to threaten him, he would have long killed them.

But because she was Cheyenne’s biological mother, Lucas didn’t want to cross the line and cause Cheyenne any sadness.

Moreover, although Cheyenne had indeed had an unhappy conflict with Florence, Lucas knew Cheyenne’s character well and was aware that she couldn’t completely ignore her biological mother. He knew that she would reunite with her sooner or later.

Lucas actually fell into a dilemma, which was rare for him.

At five in the afternoon, Lucas drove to the Brilliance Corporation’s office building as usual and picked Cheyenne up.

After getting inside the car, Cheyenne suddenly said, “Honey, that woman contacted me again today.”

Without needing to think further, Lucas immediately knew that the woman Cheyenne was talking about was Florence.

“What does she want this time?” Lucas frowned while driving.

Florence had clearly told him to give her an answer before night fell. He wondered if she had already come and informed Cheyenne about the matter in advance.

His heart tensed up.

“She… she said that she still loves me and wants to reunite with me. But she still isn’t willing to tell me why she abandoned me, so I rejected her,” Cheyenne said with disappointment, pain, and dejection on her beautiful face.

“She abandoned me so many years ago, and now, she suddenly came looking for me and said that she loves me. But I… I don’t know how I should treat her. She isn’t even willing to tell me the truth about what happened back then. How can I trust her?”

Lucas finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Cheyenne say this.

It seemed that Florence hadn’t gone mad to the extent of spouting nonsense to Cheyenne. Otherwise, Lucas would never let her off.

“Hubby, you… Why… is she hiding it from me? Why won’t she tell me the truth regardless of how much I ask?

“I’ve actually thought about it. Even if she abandoned me for the sake of gaining power, I might forgive her, but… she refuses to tell me anything.”

Cheyenne’s eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them.

In fact, she eagerly yearned to reconcile with her birth mother and find out about her roots, but Florence’s behavior made Cheyenne extremely disappointed.

She was completely different from the mother she had imagined!

When Lucas saw Cheyenne forcing herself not to cry, his heart tensed up, and he felt really sorry for her.

Cheyenne was a kindhearted and sensitive person. If she learned about the truth of the past, she definitely wouldn’t be able to take it.

Furthermore, because Florence was pregnant with Cheyenne, her father had taken the risk to go and plead with the Howards’ helmsman for mercy, only to end up losing his life.

Because of this, Florence hated and resented Cheyenne. She felt that Cheyenne’s appearance was the reason her lover had died tragically and her life had turned into a mess.

If Cheyenne knew about all of this, she would probably also feel that she was at fault and that her appearance had caused her father’s death and her mother’s misery.

Cheyenne would probably be overwhelmed with agony and guilt and never be able to recover from it.

This was the last thing Lucas wanted to see.

Thus, he couldn’t let Cheyenne know about what happened back then!

“Honey, I don’t know what I should do anymore. Should I reconcile with her? Or should I never see her again and take it that she never appeared in my life again? I… I’m in so much pain!”

Cheyenne finally couldn’t endure it anymore and burst into tears.

Lucas felt as though his heart was being stabbed. He sighed, pulled over by the side of the road, turned around to look at Cheyenne, and reached out to gently wipe away the tears on her face.

“You’re conflicted now because she refuses to tell you about why she abandoned you.

“But what if… what if she refuses to tell you because the truth is really extremely cruel, and she doesn’t want you to be in misery because of it?

“In that case, would you forgive her and reunite with her?” Lucas asked seriously while holding Cheyenne’s shoulders.

After some thought, Cheyenne suddenly asked, “Honey, do you already know something?”

She had always been a very smart woman, so she immediately sensed something from what Lucas said.

But Lucas didn’t plan to tell Cheyenne about those cruel matters.

He shook his head. “I don’t. It’s just my guess. But it’s up to you to decide if you want to reconcile with her or remain as strangers in the future. I will support your choice.”

In fact, Lucas hoped that Cheyenne would steer clear of Florence, but kinship and blood ties were predestined. Lucas respected Cheyenne’s wishes and didn’t want to meddle too much.

Cheyenne’s eyes showed intense conflict.

Because she couldn’t decide for herself, she hoped Lucas could make a decision for her. Unfortunately, he left the choice in her hands.

Lucas could only sigh helplessly, start the car, and drive to Amelia’s kindergarten.

After picking up Amelia, Cheyenne forced a smile and said a few words to her. For the rest of the journey, she remained silent with a heavy heart.

After returning to their home at Pearl Lakeside Villa, Cheyenne even locked herself in the room in low spirits.

After hesitating for a long time, Lucas finally decided to step into the room and sit down beside Cheyenne.

He had some things to say to her.
