Apologize?
Visions of that scene from years ago flashed before the Duchess's eyes, her heart ached as if slashed by a knife, and her hand was tightly clenched into a fist, but she couldn't utter a word.
It took her a while to get her emotions under control.
"KING... it's getting late, you should go and sleep as well."
Lucas Walker frowned and looked at her complexion, then reached out to hold her hand.
"But you haven't told me, what exactly is the matter…" Before going to the Gardner Family, she was fine, but after arriving, she acted out of character several times; Lucas Walker couldn't help but be suspicious, "Could it be... related to Ivana's father?"
The Duchess was startled, not expecting that her son had seen right through her, and she hung her head and gritted her teeth.
"KING, I'm begging you… give up on Ivana, okay? Her... family is really not suitable for you."
