Chapter 622: Do You Regret It Now?

At this moment, Lucas naturally didn’t know that Wendy had been so ruthless and even killed her biological nephew just to get the Smiths to send someone to deal with him.

But with Lucas’s combat skills and abilities, he didn’t care what kind of an expert the Smiths would send.

In this world, there were very few experts on par with him. And even experts from the eight top families of DC would probably be far from rivaling Lucas.

After settling the matter with Eli, he went straight to the parking lot outside the Lion Restaurant and took Cheyenne, who was obviously relieved, back to the villa.

Charlotte had picked up Amelia long ago, and the family enjoyed a relaxing and pleasant evening together.

Since it was Sunday tomorrow, Lucas looked at Amelia obediently lying on the bed and listening to Cheyenne’s story and suddenly remembered what Karen had said when she tried to trick her. “Let’s take Amelia to the amusement park tomorrow.”

Amelia was stunned for a moment before exclaiming in joy and asking with glistening eyes, “Really? Really? Can we really go to the amusement park?”

Her tender face was full of anticipation as she looked at Lucas and then at Cheyenne. “Mommy said she would take me there last time, but she’s been really busy and telling me that she doesn’t have time…”

Cheyenne immediately seemed guilty. She had indeed made such a promise to Amelia before. But due to William’s accident, she had no choice but to renege. She touched Amelia’s head apologetically and said gently, “Amelia, I was just too busy before and couldn’t find any time to accompany you. But Mommy and Daddy will definitely take you to play to your hearts’ content tomorrow, okay?”

“Wow! Yay! I can finally go to the amusement park! Mommy, you’re the best! I love you so much!” Amelia jumped up on the bed happily, wrapped her arms around Cheyenne’s neck, and kissed her face.

“Haha, Daddy, I love you too!”

Before Lucas could get jealous, Amelia jumped into his arms and kissed him on the same spot on his face. She then held one of their hands in each hand and smiled gleefully. “Daddy, Mommy, I feel like the happiest person in the world! I’m the happiest person in the world! I’m so happy!”

Seeing their well-behaved and adorable daughter being so joyful because they fulfilled a small request of hers, Lucas and Cheyenne looked at each other with love and bliss in their eyes.

The next day, Lucas got up before dawn.

He took a glance at his sleeping wife and daughter and smiled faintly without disturbing them. He quietly put on his clothes and quickly drove to the airport.

Just last night, Maddy had sent him a text to inform him that she would be returning to DC at seven in the morning.

She had initially come to Orange County to help Lucas with William’s treatment and also with Grace’s mother’s condition, treating all her post-surgical symptoms.

Maddy had done Lucas such a huge favor, and as her former comrade, he thought that he had to come personally to see her off.

After parking his car in the parking lot outside the airport and entering the terminal building, he scanned around and immediately saw Maddy and Jordan inside.

The two were standing together and whispering to each other. But given the distance between them, he understood that there was still not much progress between them.

Come to think of it, Maddy has always been a very opinionated, smart, and independent woman, not the type to let love hinder her progress in life. Besides, she only stayed in Orange County for a few short days, and it’s basically impossible for her relationship with Jordan to progress to that extent.

At the thought of this, Lucas sighed slightly in his head and walked over.

“Lucas, you’re here!”

“Lucas.”

When Jordan and Maddy saw Lucas walking over, they immediately greeted him.

“It’s too early, and Cheyenne is still taking care of Amelia at home. I didn’t ask her to come with me, but she told me to thank you properly. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid my father-in-law wouldn’t have regained consciousness yet. But you have a tight schedule. When you come to Orange County again, we will definitely host you properly!” Lucas said with a smile.

Maddy smiled without restraint. “We’re so close. You don’t have to be so polite to me! Besides, when you’re both free, you can bring Amelia to DC to visit me!”

“Sure, it’s a deal!” Lucas smiled.

In fact, he also wanted to persuade Maddy to stay for a few days longer. But he also knew clearly that one of the major reasons why Maddy was rushing back to DC was to find out about her family’s attitude.

It was her family and life, so he couldn’t interfere much.

“Attention all passengers, boarding for flight CA788 from Orange County will begin soon. Please proceed to gate A1 for check-in…” At this moment, a gentle announcement voice rang out in the terminal.

Both Lucas and Jordan knew that it was time for Maddy to leave.

Lucas looked into Maddy’s eyes and said solemnly, “When you get back to DC, remember to take care of yourself. If anything happens, give us a call. Don’t ever be out of touch.

“If you don’t want to marry that kid from the Smith family, Jordan and I will rush over to support you even if your family forces you!”

Jordan nodded very seriously and assured, “Maddy, we’ll definitely rush to you, stand on your side, and help you without any hesitation as long as you need our help!”

Feeling touched, Maddy smiled and opened her arms to hug Lucas, followed by Jordan. “Okay, I will remember. If I really need your help, I’ll call you. Bye!”

With that, she waved her hand and turned away suavely without even looking back.

Jordan subconsciously started raising his fingers. But in the end, he could only slowly put them down with a sorrowful expression.

Maddy would probably marry someone else.

After all, her family was the one who wanted her to get married and have children!

But he couldn’t do anything except watch her leave. In fact, he didn’t even tell Maddy how he felt about her.

All of a sudden, Jordan felt bitter.

“Do you regret it now?” Lucas suddenly asked.
