Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 1110:

When she arrived, Rafael’s family embraced her with genuine warmth. Her family’s apprehension had been unnecessary. Molly possessed that remarkable ability to bloom wherever she was planted.

Rafael and Allie cherished her as their own daughter, dedicating several days to introducing her to the city’s wonders.

On the sixth day, she and Lucas finally carved out a precious moment of solitude. He guided her through the ivy-covered buildings of his esteemed university.

When curious peers inquired about her identity, Lucas answered with casual indifference, “She’s kind of my little sister.”

“Since when am I your sister?”

“If you’re not, then what are you?”

Molly felt her chest constrict, the air suddenly scarce. In a storm of wounded pride, she whirled around and fled down the unfamiliar pathway.

But she dared not venture too far. She feared Lucas wouldn’t come searching for her, or worse, that he wouldn’t find her.

Molly was all bark and no bite.

She kicked up a fuss, but in the end, she merely plopped down by the pond, her gaze transfixed on the shimmering fish beneath the surface. Lucas dashed after her, his chest heaving. “What’s wrong with you? Why did you bolt like that?”

Drawing her knees tight against her chest, Molly murmured, “These fish are only kept here because they’re pretty. What about the ones that aren’t? Do they just die?”

Laughter rippled from Lucas’ throat. “I get that you’re emotional, but isn’t this a little too much?”

Her eyes rose to lock with his, burning with unspoken intensity. Lucas sensed words trembling on the edge of release, but after several weighted seconds, nothing emerged.

“Let’s go.”

Choking down her frustration, Molly painted on a practiced smile. “I’m hungry. Take me to eat.”

Though Lucas registered the abrupt shift in her demeanor, he chose not to probe deeper.

“Okay.”

After dinner, they drifted through twilight-drenched streets.

A bicycle suddenly skidded past them, its wheel nearly clipping Molly’s side. Lucas’ arm snaked out instinctively, drawing her close to safety. “Walk on the inside.”

Memories flooded back—Lucas had always embodied this protective nature. But now, with adulthood casting its shadow between them, she couldn’t luxuriate in his care as freely as before.

“Lucas.”

“Yeah?”

“You’re older now. Do you like someone?”noveldrama

Lucas’ pulse jolted, his gaze skittering away. “Why are you asking that?”

“It’s my sister, isn’t it? You’ve always had feelings for her.” Fingers laced behind her back, Molly stretched her smile wider, desperate to mask the ache blooming in her chest. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
