Chapter 2529: Chapter 2: For the Engagement Banquet
"Miss Molly, you’ve finally returned... Hurry, hurry inside, the second heir is back, and he’s talking with Mr. Lucas and Madam in the living room."
Molly Wellington had just been taken home from school by the driver to the Lucas family. At the doorway, she heard the happy voice of the elderly servant Ellie.
The second heir, Abraham Redington, who had left Eastonia ten years ago, suddenly returned to the Lucas family so unexpectedly.
Molly Wellington, still carrying her schoolbag, tightened her grip on its straps unconsciously.
Abraham Redington...
"Miss Molly, what’s wrong, are you so happy that you’re stunned? When you were little, you had the best relationship with the second heir. If it weren’t for your and the eldest heir’s engagement banquet, he might not have found time to come back at all. You really have a huge influence."
Ellie couldn’t stop smiling. She watched these children grow up and loved each and every one of them dearly.
Even though Molly Wellington wasn’t a child of the Lucas family, Mr. Wellington and Mr. Lucas had a brotherly relationship, and Molly’s mother, Skye Brown, was a close friend of Mrs. Lucas, Lily Redington.
The two families were very intimately connected, and Ellie had long treated Molly Wellington as the future Young Lady of the household, speaking to her without reserve.
Molly Wellington forced a smile, revealing faint dimples.
"Ellie, you don’t need to wait for me; go on inside... I’m going upstairs to change my clothes and wash my face before coming over." The girl said nonchalantly, bending down to change her shoes, hiding the flickering emotions in her almond-shaped eyes.
Her parents were on another honeymoon abroad.
Her brother was studying abroad, and Molly Wellington remained in the country. The Wellington couple didn’t feel comfortable leaving her alone in the house, so they ’fostered’ her with the Lucas family.
The relationship between the Wellington and Lucas families was indeed very close, and Molly Wellington spent almost half of her time growing up at the Lucas family mansion.
This was nothing new, except now, for the first time, she felt her heart was beating like a drum, a bit at a loss.
Abraham Redington is back... he actually came back...
After leaving for ten years, never setting foot in Eastonia, this person, he actually showed up!

In Molly Wellington’s room, she changed into a casual dress and let down her tied-up black hair, washing her face in front of the mirror.
Water droplets slide down the girl’s delicate and fair face, gathering at the tip of her chin before dripping into the sink.
Looking at herself in the mirror, her black hair soft, eyelashes curled, almond-shaped eyes enchanting, her dimples faint.
This is a young, beautiful, full of vitality face.
No one could tell that the owner of this face was currently feeling anxious.
In the past ten years, she had countless opportunities to travel to Europe with her parents or the Lucas couple, just needing to find an excuse, she could meet him again.
But Abraham Redington left without a word ten years ago, clearly showing no interest in her.
"Phew..." The girl took a deep breath in front of the mirror.
"Calm down, Molly Wellington! You are the fiancée of Jordan Lancaster, Abraham Redington left ten years ago, and he has nothing to do with you. Just stay calm!"
Yes, staying calm would be fine, once she got through the college entrance exams, she’d officially hold an engagement banquet with Jordan Lancaster.
Such a great man, she didn’t have the right to disappoint him.
...
Downstairs at the Lucas family’s mansion, voices of conversation could be heard.
Lily Redington, who hadn’t seen her youngest son for a long time, refused to let him leave again this time.
She was pulling Abraham Redington into conversation, with her youngest daughter, Yana Lucas, sitting beside her.
Yana Lucas was a quiet and indifferent natured person, though she was accompanying them, her mind was elsewhere, idly playing with her cell phone.
As for the head of the household, Aidan Lucas, he had already gone into the study room.
The eldest son, Jordan Lancaster, was still at the military department and hadn’t returned home, while the eldest daughter, Tiffany Lucas, was studying abroad.
When Molly Wellington went downstairs, she heard Lily Redington telling Abraham Redington: "After Molly’s college entrance exams, she will have an engagement banquet with your elder brother. Meanwhile, you should assist your father at the company; you’re not allowed to leave until your elder brother and Molly’s engagement banquet has ended."
