Chapter 267: In your son’s favor
"Why is it raining so bad?" Layla complained looking at the weather outside from the window.
Lucius’s arm hung on her one shoulder while on the other he rested his chin. "It’s the month of rain, Wife. Milan isn’t far from here, so don’t be so worried," Lucius stated. "So, are we ready to go?" he asked.
"Yes. Let’s go!" Layla said with enthusiasm and hooked her arm with his. As they made their way to the car, Layla asked, "Did you talk to Roger? Do you think he’s doing well?"
"Roger needs time. I think I shouldn’t disturb him for a while. Rest, Aiden is here so he will take care of everything. Now, Sylvia has gone to her own house, so the situation is better here," Lucius stated.
At the car, Lucius reached for the umbrella a bodyguard handed him, shielding them both from the rain. He escorted her to the vehicle, opening the backseat door and letting her step in first.
Once Layla was comfortably seated, Lucius folded the umbrella and handed it back to the bodyguard before sliding in beside her. The bodyguard quietly closed the door, and the car pulled away.
"I do feel Roger didn’t tell the entire truth while Sylvia chose to hide it," Layla said and rested her head on his shoulder. "I want Roger to be happy. He doesn’t look good when he keeps that serious look on his face," she murmured.
Lucius took out the phone from his pocket and checked the message he sent to Roger last night. This was the first time Roger didn’t give him a response. He texted Aiden asking him to go and see Roger.
"I thought Sylvia became such a person because Matteo died. I didn’t know she would hold the past grudges like this and keep inflicting pain on Roger. Do you think she will keep troubling in the future too?" Layla tilted her head up to look at him.
