Soon, Cheyenne came out of the washroom.

She just rinsed her face with cold water and stopped her tears from flowing, but her eyes were still red. Besides, despite being barefaced, she was still incredibly beautiful now.

Lucas recalled what Amelia said just now and couldn’t help feeling a little uneasy. After coughing gently, he looked away.

But Amelia tugged on Lucas’s sleeve in displeasure and urged, “Daddy, hurry up!”

Lucas was instantly even more shy.

Cheyenne had gotten a grip on her emotions, and when she saw their strange behavior, she couldn’t help asking curiously, “What are you two playing?”

Amelia immediately looked at Lucas with her large eyes that seemed to have the ability to speak, urging him to hurry up and coax Cheyenne.

Lucas sighed helplessly and pretended not to be bothered. “Amelia is telling me how to coax you!”

“Huh? Coax me? How?” Cheyenne asked curiously.

Lucas coughed a little. Of course, he wouldn’t tell her what Amelia said. He merely glanced at Amelia to show that it was her idea.

Cheyenne sat beside Amelia and asked amusedly, “Amelia, you’re still a little child, but you already know how to coax me?”

Hanging on Lucas’s neck, Amelia grinned and said, “Of course I do! Mommy, I usually stop crying after you hug and kiss me! So I asked Daddy to hug and kiss you too so that you won’t cry anymore!”

Cheyenne froze in shock.

By the time she processed what Amelia said, she immediately blushed shyly in amusement.

She finally understood why Lucas didn’t tell her how he was going to coax her.

Caught between laughter and tears and blushing shyly, Cheyenne reached out to pinch Amelia’s soft and tender cheeks, only to catch a glimpse of the redness on Lucas’s ears. Her heart skipped a beat and soon began ricocheting against her chest.

In an instant, Cheyenne and Lucas both felt uneasy.

Sitting between Lucas and Cheyenne, Amelia looked up at the both of them and asked in surprise, “Dad, Mom, why are you two blushing? Is it because it’s too hot here?”

After hearing Amelia’s puerile voice, they immediately felt even more embarrassed.

But the misery and aggrievance Cheyenne felt because of Karen’s behavior had unknowingly dissipated as a warm and fuzzy feeling arose in her heart.

Knock knock.

There was rhythmic knocking on the door of their bedroom.

Lucas held Amelia in his arms while Cheyenne immediately stood up and walked over to open the door. She saw William standing outside the room, seemingly hesitant to speak.

“Dad, it’s so late now. Is there something wrong?” Cheyenne hurriedly let William into the room.

After entering, William hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, “Lucas, Cheyenne, I’ve already made up my mind. I will move out with your mother early tomorrow morning.”

Both of them were extremely surprised to hear this. But they knew that it had to be because of what Karen had just done during dinner that made William decide to move out with her.

Lucas quickly said, “William, you don’t have to think too much about it. This villa is huge, and it’s more than enough for us. Why bother moving out?”

Cheyenne chimed in and tried to dissuade him, “Yes, Dad, our old house is no longer habitable. Where can you move to now?”

William sighed, held Lucas’s hand, and said sincerely, “Lucas, I know you’re a great kid. Despite all the terrible things we’ve done to you in the past, you didn’t hold it against us and even spared a thought for us in every aspect. You’re such a good son-in-law!

“However, I can’t just take advantage of your kindness and good intentions and shamelessly pretend that nothing has happened. When I think about those things in the past, I feel really sorry to have let you down. How can I have the cheek to continue living in your home?”

Lucas hurriedly shook William’s hand and said very seriously, “William, let’s leave those things in the past. We are now a family. It’s good enough if we can live together harmoniously in joy. If you move out, Cheyenne and I will be really worried.”

William shook his head and said bitterly, “I know you’re filial, but it’s because of how obedient you two are that I can’t bring myself to continue staying here anymore. I don’t want to let this mess affect and disturb your lives.

“Besides, I’ve finally figured out a lot of things now, and I want to try living on my own terms by relying on my own abilities. I’ve already made up my mind. I just looked at some properties for rent on the internet, and the rent isn’t expensive. We’ll move out tomorrow.”

Lucas still wanted to continue persuading him to stay, but Cheyenne suddenly stopped him and said, “Lucas, don’t try to stop Dad anymore. Since he’s already decided, we should respect his wishes!”

Actually, she could tell that while Karen was certainly one of the reasons William insisted on moving out, it was also because he wanted to make some achievements with his own abilities after he came to his senses a while ago.

For example, he wanted to work hard to sustain a livelihood for himself. Previously, he lived in the old residence belonging to the Carters, and now, he was living in his son-in-law’s house. So he wanted to move out and rely on his own efforts to have a roof over his head. Even if he had to rent a place temporarily, he had at least earned the money for the rent himself.

Hearing that Cheyenne understood his intentions, William felt heartened, and he said with a smile, “Cheyenne understands me best. Don’t worry. Even if we move out, we are still a family. We can visit each other when we’re free. That makes it more comfortable for all of us.”

Seeing that they had both made up their minds, Lucas could only sigh inwardly.

In fact, it was not that he didn’t understand what William was thinking. His luxurious villa did offer an excellent shelter and living environment, but it didn’t belong to William at the end of the day. So he would inevitably feel uncomfortable about living under someone else’s roof.

In the past, William probably would have never felt like that. All he used to want was to have a roof over his head, a source of entertainment, and a steady supply of alcohol while he muddled through life.

But William had now come to his senses and developed his own views and determination to achieve some of his personal goals. Thus, all Lucas could do was give him his support.
