Real Heiress: Flash Marriage With Boyfriend's Uncle - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Reminds me of your father Chapter 203: Reminds me of your father Alekis decided to send away Evelina and asked her to come with him.

“Dad, don’t.” It wasn’t a request but a command.

Lucius wanted to clear everything with his mother today, so that she would never see him again and make him feel miserable.

He stepped toward his mother and halted right in front of her.

“Now, tell me why you’ve come in Italy again?” Lucius probed, his intimidating gaze terrified Evelina and made him recall the person she didn’t want to.

Roderick stopped next to his mom as he had been watching this entire scene.

“Uncle finally admitted what he did to my dad,” he whispered in Fiona’s ears.

“Don’t say that,” Fiona told him while keeping her voice low.

“Why are you quiet suddenly?

Say it whatever is in your heart.

Say it you hate me and want me to live in guilt for the mistake my mother made years ago,” Lucius pronounced, his eyes didn’t waver for a single moment from his mother.

Evelina’s lips quivered, but words didn’t come out of her mouth.

She felt like everything would crumble if she would say the truth to him.

“You are making me annoyed by staying quiet again.

Just say it what you’ve buried in your heart for so many years.

If you think I’ll be hurt, then you are wrong because I may know what you’ve been hiding from me for so many years,” Lucius said, confusing both Evelina and Alekis.

“Tell me what scares you that you think I’ll become alone,” he demanded.

Evelina lowered her eyes, not able to bring that name on her mouth.

She couldn’t let him uncover the person she had spent so many years trying to shield him from.

For his sake, Lucius had to stay far away-far from the one name that could destroy everything.

“My return flight is getting late.

I’ll leave,” Evelina said as she turned on her heels, desperate to escape the situation she had created.

Lucius stood motionless while his eyes cold watched her retreating figure of his mother.

Alekis immediately followed her, but before they could take another step, Lucius’s voice echoed through the room, sharp and unrelenting.

“Whose son am I?” The question stopped Evelina mid-step while Alekis also froze beside her, his face clouded with unease.

“Tell me,” Lucius pressed, “who is my real father?” Fiona and Roderick exchanged shocked glances, their bewilderment evident on their faces.

“Say it,” Lucius pressed this time.

“Tell me the name of the man you’ve been running from your entire life.

The man who made you leave everything behind, including me.” Evelina’s shoulders tensed, her breath catching as she turned to face her son.

Her eyes were wide with shock and fear.

Alekis, too, turned slowly, his face pale as he struggled to comprehend how Lucius could have uncovered the truth.

“Once you tell me his name, you’re free to go.

That’s all I want,” Lucius told his mother.

“And if you don’t, then you don’t even have a right to feel worried for the person close to me.

You already have lost me years ago.” “Lucius, calm down,” Alekis intervened finally.

He felt he should take the charge and handle the situation on his own.

He didn’t wish Lucius to break his ties with him once Evelina say the name of the person who was Lucius’s father.

“Dad, don’t let me in dark.

At least, you should not,” Lucius requested humbly.

“Follow me and Alekis, please stay behind,” Evelina said and headed to the garden.

She didn’t wish Fiona and her son to listen to her conversation with Lucius.

Lucius was ready to face the truth and he followed his mother to the garden.

Once they reached at a point, where nobody could hear them, Evelina turned to look at Lucius.

“When did you find out?” Evelina asked.

“Does that matter?” Lucius answered her with a question.

“It does because you never once spoke about it,” Evelina said.

“And if I would have spoken about it, then what would you have pitied me and taken me with you?” Lucius again questioned.

“Lucius, it’s complicated.

You should have asked me if you knew,” Evelina asserted.

“Why did you always hate Matteo?” Lucius asked another question.

“Because of him you pulled into a world, where only evil lives,” Evelina replied.

“You aren’t less evil than them.

You always made me feel pathetic.

I am sure you are aware of how I felt toward my own mother.

Do you even know how I felt when you divorced Dad and left with some other man?

The last you told me was you would come for me.

You lied to your teenage son just to live a comfortable life, putting me into someone else’s house as his responsibility.

Wasn’t that the evilest thing a mother could do to her own child?” Lucius demanded answers from her for the questions he always wanted to ask.

“Fine.

I admit I am an evil mother to you.

That should end all of your questions here.

Your father was a drunkard, who abused me so much that I ran away from him and met Alekis.

I was hating myself because I ended up getting pregnant with you.

I am not running away from your real father, but you remind me of him,” Evelina revealed the truth to him with a neutral expression on her face.

“The moment you joined hands with a mafia’s son, Matteo, the lives of the people around you had already came into danger.

I don’t want me, or my happy family to get destroyed because of you.

Layla is a nice woman and I do care for her.

You reminds me of your father and I just want Layla to not suffer with you,” Evelina asserted, keeping her gaze fixed on him.

“Since I’ve answered all your questions, I will leave now.

You never gave anything to your mother, at least you should do this small thing for me.

You aren’t the sin that I carry.

But you are the sin of your father.

That’s how I have always seen you.” Evelina gave a final glance to her and walked away, leaving Lucius in his thoughts.
