Chapter 77

    I didn’t know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I realized that Steven’s hand was still under my


    bead


    I rubbed my forehead and looked at Steven drowsily. Did he maintain that position the whole


    journey?


    That was more than three hours! Was he really a fool or just pretending to be one?


    “Where are we?” I asked quietly.


    “Tré old Lincoln residence,” Steven exined in a low voice. He took my hand in his, looking


    scared.


    The pitiful look in his beautiful eyes gave me the urge to protect him from all danger.


    “Don’t be afraid. I’m here,” I told him, patting the back of his hand. In all actuality, I was scared as


    well.


    What kind of ce was this? The house was surrounded by mountains and looked very deste.


    Not only that, the dim light from themps made it seem like a haunted house.


    1


    1 swallowed. After mustering up my courage, I pulled Steven out of the car.


    “Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln, pleasee this way.” Ewan stood by the door, waiting for us.


    I dragged Steven all the way to the door and followed Ewan inside to see Ignatius.


    Ignatius stood in front of a wall that had many photos liung neatly on it. He seemed to be saying


    something to them as we entered the ce.


    I saw Steven’s father, Andy Lincoln, in one of the photos. Although Steven was an illegitimate son,


    he


    was still Andy’s child.


    Steven stared deeply at the photo, his face expressionless.


    I nced around at all the photos. Beside Andy’s photo was a photo of Henry Lincoln, Ignatius‘


    eldest grandson.


    I heard that Andy, Alice, and Henry had all died in the car ident. Ignatius had put in a lot of effort


    preparing Andy and Henry to be his sessors.


    On the other hand, James was the son that Ignatius had paid the least attention to. James was


    ignorant and conceited, and he wasn’t smart or flexible. He wasn’t fit to be Ignatius‘


    sessor.


    However, fate had its own ns, and Andy and his family had all perished in the ident. Now,


    Ignatius only had one son left, James, but James was infertile.


    Ignatius had a traditional mindset, so it was a big deal for him not to have any descendants. How


    could he allow the family bloodline to end at his hands?


    von


    That was where Steven and I came into the picture. We were both there to carry on the family line.


    “Come over here. Pay your respects to Andy,” Ignatius said, turning around to look at Steven and


    me.


    1 stepped forward to take the flowers from him and handed some to Steven, but Steven didn’t


    move.


    His eyes never left Andy’s photo. From the look in his eyes, I could tell that he loathed Andy.


    An inexplicable emotion washed over me.


    1 was afraid that Ignatius would scold Steven again, so I gently said to him, “Steve,e here.”


    Steven finally turned away from the photo to look at me. With a hoarse voice, he said, “All of


    liars.”


    I was startled. There was such strong disappointment in his eyes.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Liars?


    Did Stephany lie to him before? What did Andy lie to him about?


    “Come and pay your respects.”


    Despite his reluctance, I still pulled him forward and handed him the flowers.


    you… are


    “Car ident…” Steven muttered as he put the flowers in front of Andy’s photo. He then looked at


    me, seeming like he had something to say.


    I waited for him to speak, but he didn’t say anything. So, I didn’t ask him about it.


    I knew very well that unfortunate events happened and that car idents were ruthless, because


    my parents had also died in a car ident.


    Ignatius seemed satisfied with how well–behaved Steven was. At least Steven listened to


    instructions and behaved more normally now.


    “I can see that Steven feally likes you and is willing to listen to you,” Ignatius said.
