Chapter 470
Anya’s eyes twinkled, looking so naive and innocent. “No, Rosie. You must be overthinking it. Corinne is quite a nice
person.”
“Her? A nice person? If she’s a nice person, I wouldn’t have been imprisoned because of her!” Rosie sighed. She
could not help but feel even more worried about her pure and simple best friend. “Anya, you’re a mother now, yet
you’re still as foolish as a child, thinking that everybody is nice! I’m really worried about you!”
There was a pause before Anya laughed as she was “slow to react. Just as she was about to say something, she
heard the door to the restroom open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith mutual understanding, both of them did not continue the topic anymore. They turned to look at Lucas, who
just came out of the restroom, at the same time.
Rolling his sleeves up, Lucas walked over slowly, then said to his sister gently, “Anya, don’t you feel tired carrying
the child? Hurry up, have a seat, and take a break!”
Anya nodded. Carrying Joey in her arms, she sat down on the couch with Rosie. Then, she smiled sweetly and said
to the boy, “Here, Joey, say uncle! This is Uncle!”
The boy blinked his eyes as he looked at Lucas, then he obediently said, “An-angle.”
The adults were so amused by the child’s mispronunciation that they burst out laughing.
Anya corrected him, “It’s Uncle, not angle.”
Looking dazed, Joey tried calling out again, “An-ankle!”
Anya was speechless. “Joey, it’s not ankle! It’s Uncle!”
Joey was baffled. He had no idea why he just could not get it right. He frowned as he was troubled, then he tried to
pronounce it again, “Ungle!”
Lucas stroked Joey’s chubby cheeks. Because he loved his sister, he was fond of the child as well.” Enough, Anya.
He’s such a young boy. How accurate do you want his pronunciation to be?”
Perhaps it was truly some kind of fate. This boy was adopted, but if he looked carefully, the boy indeed looked a
little like his sister.
However, Lucas did not develop any familial affection for the child or wanted to carry him. He only cared
for him like how an adult would care for a child.
Rosie already started opening the container she brought. She took out all of the food and placed them nicely on the

taste!” xo.com fast update
“Thank you.” Lucas accepted the cutlery elegantly and politely. He took a bite of the food, then he nodded. “It’s
delicious!”
Just a simple praise from the man she liked was enough to make Rosie melt. “If you like the food I make, Lucas, I
can make them and bring them to you every day!”
Lucas rejected coldly, “No, thanks. I’m used to having simple meals alone when I’m working. You’ll interrupt my
work if you come over, and you’ll be wasting your time as well.”
She was just praised, but she was rejected again. The awkward expression on Rosie’s face was indescribable.
“Uhm, Lucas, I’m fine with wasting my time, but if it’s going to interrupt your work, I won’t come over! Whenever
you want to have the food I make, just let Anya tell me and I’ll make them and bring them to you immediately!”
