She turned her head to ask for Lucas‘ opinion, but before she could even speak, he seemed to anticipate her thoughts.

Without hesitation, he said, “Sure, let’s stay the night. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to get you to the studio on time tomorrow, so you won’t be late.”

Aurora was still hesitant in her heart.

But Diana immediately took her hand and said, “Alright, don’t overthink it. I like you, that’s why I want you by my side more. Usually, I only have this old man keeping me company, but I’ve long since grown tired of him.”

Edward was speechless.

Clearly, her love for him was gone. It hadn’t even been that long, and his wife was already tired of him.

Still, he couldn’t show it. After all, Aurora had just married into the family, and if he revealed his feelings, others would laugh at him.

How could he possibly compete for attention with a junior?

Just thinking about it felt ridiculous.

Seeing that Lucas had already agreed, Aurora couldn’t say much more. She nodded and replied, “If you don’t think it’s an inconvenience, then Lucas and I will stay here tonight.”

Diana was overjoyed at her words.

She quickly waved her hand. “How could it be an inconvenience? I couldn’t ask for more. It’s been a long time since this house felt so alive.”

“Exactly. I haven’t seen Mom this happy in ages. She’s been traveling all this time,” Lucas added at the right

moment.

Only Edward stood silently to the side, watching Diana.

He hadn’t been mistaken–his wife truly was happy.

Whenever guests came by before, or when blind dates were introduced to Lucas, Diana’s eyes never lit up.

She knew her son didn’t like those women.

Forcing him would make her no different from those parents who pressured their children into marriage.

She wanted to be a more rational mother.

So, she chose to respect her child’s wishes.

But not many people understood this, even the elders from the powerful families kept urging her.

After all, now that Lucas had taken over the company, he was practically the head of the family.

If the head didn’t marry soon, then the Carter family couldn’t continue its line.

In fact, Edward and Diana both knew about Lucas keeping his identity hidden.

If he didn’t hide it while looking for a partner, how could he be sure the other person wasn’t only after his

status?

These days, there were far too many people with ulterior motives. For such a big family, choosing someone to become the lady of the house was no trivial matter.

This was absolutely not a joke.

The reason Diana could be so relaxed now was only because she had endured too much hardship when she was young, surviving with Edward under the watchful eyes of so many waiting to see them fall.

The two of them had suffered plenty in their youth, which was why Edward suggested retiring early and grooming Lucas to take charge.

Lucas understood this well. That was why, though he made a few casual complaints when he first stepped into the company, deep down, he never truly resented it.

What’s more, he genuinely enjoyed the thrill of business.

So, there was no sense of being forced. His complaints were only words.

In truth, he didn’t mind at all. His mother had endured enough hardship in her youth–now that she was older, he only wanted her to finally have some peace.
