Chapter 1113 Mom and Dad Are Here
They spent nearly an hour at the meal. During the meal, Lucy and Ben kept asking questions anxiously, covering up
whenever Evelyn couldn't answer, as Huston smoothly took over. Their collaboration was seamless, and no one
suspected anything.
After the meal, they sat for a while, and when it was past three o'clock, approaching school dismissal time, Evelyn
and Huston decided to personally pick up Lucas from school.
On their way to the school, they arrived early and parked the car in front of an imported toy store. They went in
and selected two exquisite model sets before setting off again.
When they reached the school, it was already 4:20 in the afternoon. The school gate was wide open. As one of the

As soon as it was dismissal time, various luxury cars filled the area around the gate.
After a short while, the children, led by their teachers, formed orderly lines and walked out of the school gate.
Evelyn kept searching the crowd, trying to spot the familiar face she had seen countless times in videos. The wait
felt excruciating, and she began to feel anxious as she saw one group of children after another leaving, but Lucas
was nowhere in sight. Her palms were sweating with worry.
"Why hasn't he come out yet?" Evelyn couldn't help but ask the man beside her softly.
Perhaps he heard her internal call, even before Huston could respond, she saw a cute and eye-catching familiar
face appear in the crowd.
The handsome face that stood out from the other kids and the mature and composed aura emanating from him
immediately caught Evelyn's attention.
Who else could it be but Lucas?
He was wearing a well-fitted school uniform, a dark suit jacket over a white shirt, the school badge pinned to his
chest, and a blue tie neatly knotted at his collar, giving him a gentlemanly and adorable look.
Usually, it was Lucy who picked him up, so after leaving the school, Lucas stood under a big tree, quietly waiting for
Grandma Lucy.
While all the other kids had their parents by their side, he was the only one standing alone. His big eyes were filled
with envy as he looked around, and even from a distance, Evelyn could clearly sense it.
But he wasn't the only one feeling heartache, was he?
Seeing this scene, Huston felt a pang in his heart too. He almost immediately opened the car door and walked
toward his seemingly helpless son.
Evelyn followed closely, her little hand firmly held in his, finding some comfort in it.

"Lucas," As they got closer, Huston called out his name, and he was surprised to find that his voice sounded
somewhat hoarse. He cleared his throat and called out again, "Lucas."
Lucas, who was standing under the tree, waiting for Grandma Lucy, didn't seem to notice. Although he seemed to
have heard someone calling him, he didn't raise his head.
His parents weren't around, so it must be someone else's parents, he thought.
With this in mind, he remained still until Huston stood right in front of him. Only then did Lucas slowly raise his head.
When his gaze met that incredibly familiar face, he seemed almost unable to believe it and blinked his eyes rapidly.
He stood frozen in place, a mix of surprise, confusion, and disbelief appearing in his innocent eyes. Huston felt like
his heart was suddenly struck hard, causing him to breathe rapidly.
He half-crouched his tall body, reached out, and embraced the child gently, being careful not to frighten him,
"Lucas! Mom and Dad are here to pick you up."
