The air in the kitchen was steaming hot and fragrant, but atmosphere was quite awkward because of their confrontation.

“But Uncle Jay doesn’t seem to be joking.” Lucas looked at Jay blankly and asked for confirmation, “Uncle Jay, being someone’s father is a very serious matter. You can’t joke around.”

Hearing her son’s fearless words, Maisy felt a headache coming on. She was afraid that Jay would reveal the truth of their past in the next second or make some unrealistic promise with Lucas. She hurriedly handed an orange to Lucas and diverted his attention. “Can you help me peel it?”
The little guy was still holding Jay’s hand. Seeing his mother was eager to ask him for help, he had no choice but to let go of Jay’s warm big hand. He said helplessly like a little adult, “Alright, what a coquettish woman.”

Jay was amused by this scene. He put down his usual cold attitude and gently placed his hand on Lucas’s forehead. He gently caressed it with some tendemess. “Give it to me. Lucas, Uncle Jay wants to drink some water. Can you help…”

“Tunderstand. I’ll go get you something to drink.” Before Jay finished his sentence, Lucas tactfully ran out, leaving the two of them some private space.

Maisy was not as relaxed as Jay. The kitchen was very small, and he was very tall, which made the space even more crowded. Even though Maisy subconsciously moved to the side, his presence was still hard to ignore. He was so eye-catching that she kept her attention on him.

‘The man’s every move was pulling her heart, and the refreshing smell of oranges exploded in the air. Maisy caught a glimpse of Jay’s hand. Jay pried open the peel of the orange and his slender fingertips formed a sharp contrast with the bright orange. Maisy could not help but recall what these hands had
done to her.

She still could not forget the past. Even though she pretended not to care, his handsome and gentle smile was always in her dreams. Now, the person she had been thinking about day and night was right in front of her. Even though it had been seven years, he still looked handsome and had an alluring
aura. The brand of his perfume had changed, but the feeling he gave her had not changed at all. She still remembered the feeling of being wrapped up by his warm and broad chest, as well as his scorching body heat.

However, the obstacles that stood in front of the two of them seven years ago had not been removed. She was an unremarkable single mother, and he was still as high and mighty as a king. This time, she would not be so stupid. She knew that there was no result for them, so she would not put her heart
and soul into it again. She had a son now, and she loved him very much. She was no longer the bold Maisy who didn’t care about consequences.

“Mr. Hamilton, is there anything you need?” Maisy asked estranged.
Mr. Hamilton? Jay heard how she politely addressed him and looked at her calm expression. He could not help but raise his eyebrows and smiled faintly. After not seeing her for a few years, her acting skills were still so bad, but she became much braver than before.
“Shouldn’t you give me a reasonable explanation for what happened back then?” Jay deliberately changed the way he addressed her and deliberately emphasized his tone, “Ms. Owen.”

‘When he mentioned that year she left him, Maisy’s attitude became colder. Back then, she was carrying Lucas in her belly, but Jay’s mother, Susan used money to pressure her up and drive her away. It also made her clearly realize the difference between the two of them. Not only in their statuses, their
social circle and way of doing things were also completely different. Susan would never accept a woman who came from the Aphrodite Club, let alone her child.

She thought that leaving was the best choice. However, she didn’t expect that after seven years, Jay would come looking for her. Why did he come? Was he came for Lucas? Thinking of this, Maisy was nervous and a little flustered. After all, Jay was Lucas’s biological father, and he had a high social status.
If he wanted to fight for Lucas’s custody, she had no chance of winning. She only hoped that Jay would not be so cruel and snatch the child she raised from her life.

“There’s nothing to explain.” Maisy directly changed the topic. Aren’t you engaged back then? How are you doing recently? You should already have a child, right?” what she meant was that she definitely did not need a surrogate like her.
“Yes, I have one.” Jay’s face darkened, and he looked at the woman in front of him with some anger. Seven years had passed, and she still knew how to provoke his anger, so he said it on purpose, “That child is Lucas. He needs a father. What do you think?”

Maisy’s expression froze as she looked at the man in front of her with sadness. He really came for Lucas.. Did he want to snatch her precious away from him?
