More than two hours later, shivering with cold, I finally arrived outside the Bradford Family villa.
Through the fence, I saw that the lights were on inside and laughter could be heard from time to time.
A servant noticed me and immediately opened the door. “Sir, why are you here so late?”
I did not explain, but asked, “Where's Meghan? Has she arrived yet?”
“The young lady arrived a long time ago, with Mr. Spence,” The servant spoke carefully, afraid of irritating me.
He knew about an old incident many years ago, when Raquel snatched Lorene away at the wedding and my mother was angered to death. It caused an uproar in Harlette at that time.
I looked bitter.
Even a servant knew the taboo, but Meghan did not care about my feelings at all.
When they came to the living room, Raquel was sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing closely with Meghan.
As soon as they saw me, they immediately distanced themselves from each other.
“Lucas, why are you so late? I was so worried. Why is your phone always turned off when the driver calls you?”
I said calmly, “The battery is out.”
In weather of more than ten degrees below zero, the battery of a mobile phone could not last long outdoors.
