Chapter 120: Chapter 120: In This Life, I Belong Only to You

Serena Summers pursed her lips and explained softly, "I’m not mad."

"Really?"

Lucas Shaw looked at Serena Summers skeptically, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes, "Your lips are so pouted, and you say you’re not mad?"

"I’m not!" Serena Summers quickly covered her mouth, glaring at him coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Can you tell me what happened now?"

Lucas Shaw stretched out his arm, his broad palm firmly clasping her slender, soft waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Suddenly lifted off the ground, Serena Summers couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around the man’s neck.

When she came back to her senses, Serena Summers found herself sitting on Lucas Shaw’s lap.

The man’s sturdy chest was close at hand, causing Serena Summers to blush.

The girl’s pale and delicate cheeks glowed with a faint pink, like a budding rose, delicate and dripping.

The color in Lucas Shaw’s eyes deepened, a dark glint flashing in their depths.

"Lucas Shaw."

"Hmm?"

Lucas Shaw raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Serena Summers rarely called him by his full name.

She must be really mad this time.

"Your childhood sweetheart is back."

Serena Summers glared at him fiercely, feeling both wronged and angry.

"What childhood sweetheart? When did I ever have a childhood sweetheart?" Lucas Shaw’s eyes were full of confusion.

He had been aloof since childhood, not to mention a childhood friend, he barely had any close friends.

The ones close to him were just Liam Shaw and Adrian Shaw.

"It’s Sylvia Lane! She personally said she was your childhood sweetheart!"

Lucas Shaw’s expression darkened, a cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Sylvia Lane is back?"

It was obvious whose idea this was.

Sylvia Lane wouldn’t dare to defy his decision, so it must’ve been Elena Ryan who called her back.

But none of that mattered now.

What mattered most now was to coax his darling wife.

"I didn’t call her back. It has nothing to do with me," Lucas Shaw explained in a low voice.

Serena Summers knew this matter had nothing to do with Lucas Shaw, but she couldn’t help feeling angry.

It felt like the little cabbage she had tenderly cared for was suddenly eyed by other pigs.

"Sylvia Lane said that if she hadn’t gone abroad three years ago, you would have married her, is that true?"

"No," Lucas Shaw said decisively, "Before meeting you, I never thought of marrying anyone."

In the past, Lucas Shaw had always been suffering from illness, and all the doctors predicted he wouldn’t live past twenty-five.

How could he dare dream of love?

The arrival of Serena Summers broke the silence in his heart that had lasted for over two decades.

He never thought he could have a normal relationship.

And all of this was brought to him by Serena Summers.

"Serena."

"Hmm?"

"In this lifetime, I belong only to you and love only you."

Serena Summers leaned on Lucas Shaw’s shoulder, her lips curling slightly upwards.

"Then I will just about believe you this time."

Serena Summers’ mood immediately improved after Lucas Shaw’s confession.

"Lucas Shaw, I’m quite possessive. If you dare to take another look at another woman, I will..."

"Will what?"

Lucas Shaw raised an eyebrow.

Serena Summers pondered for a moment, then said, "I will gouge out your eyes."

Looking at the feisty Serena Summers, Lucas Shaw was stunned, then couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"That harsh, huh?"

"Scared now? If you’re scared, be good. Listen to your elder sister, and she’ll insure you live a long, healthy life!" Serena Summers’ lips curled into a smile, a sly glint in her eyes.

Lucas Shaw was amused by Serena Summers’ serious demeanor.

He solemnly promised, "There will never be such a day."

After calming Serena Summers down, Lucas Shaw took her hand and went downstairs.

At this moment, The Shaw family was all sitting at the dining table.

Elena Ryan, who has always been strict about the rules, was unusually cheerful today, her face full of smiles.

She sat next to Sylvia Lane, enthusiastically serving her food.

"Sylvia, eat more. Look how thin you are."

"The food abroad must be hard for you to get used to, right? You really suffered these three years."

"I especially instructed the kitchen to prepare all these dishes; they are all your favorites."

Elena Ryan spoke gently, her well-maintained face filled with a tender smile.

Her gaze towards Sylvia Lane was full of affection, as if Sylvia was her own daughter.

In contrast, Lucas Shaw, who was indeed the child born to her after carrying him for ten months, was treated by her like an unwanted shoe.

Seeing this scene, Liam Shaw rarely showed a stern expression.

He put down his chopsticks, his eyes heavily fixed on Elena Ryan and Sylvia Lane, a sense of anger rising from the depths of his heart for no reason.

Sylvia Lane noticed Liam Shaw’s gaze and gave a gentle, warm smile.

"Big brother, long time no see. I have always missed you all while I was abroad."

Liam Shaw asked in a heavy tone, "Why did you suddenly decide to come back? Didn’t Lucas tell you to stay abroad?"

Liam Shaw did not like Sylvia Lane.

Previously, Sylvia Lane was merely an indifferent existence to him; he didn’t care at all.

But later, Sylvia Lane started to set her sights on Lucas.

Liam Shaw could never feel fond of her again.

Sylvia Lane smiled unnaturally and explained softly, "I heard Aunt Ryan was sick, I was worried about her health, so I came back to check on her."

Upon hearing this, Elena Ryan’s heart was full of emotion.

"Sylvia, you really thought it through this time, it’s rare for you to be so filial and always worried about my health. Unlike some people who only know how to upset me..."

As soon as Elena Ryan finished speaking, Lucas Shaw entered the dining room holding Serena’s hand.

The smile on Elena Ryan’s face stiffened for a moment when she saw him coming in.

She didn’t expect Lucas Shaw to come downstairs suddenly.

She wasn’t sure if he had heard what she just said.

But on second thought, even if he heard, what could Lucas do to her?

"Brother Lucas~"

Sylvia Lane raised her eyes, a flash of excitement and joy in her gaze.

Her voice was charming and melodious, with a seductive tone that was irresistibly enchanting.

However, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a chill.

Even the usually reserved Uncle Nathaniel Shaw couldn’t help but frown.

His gaze towards Sylvia Lane was full of disapproval.

The affection Sylvia Lane had for Lucas Shaw was well known to the entire Shaw family.

But Lucas Shaw was already married.

Continuing to talk in such a flirtatious and seductive tone was just inappropriate.

However, Sylvia Lane and Lucas Shaw both belonged to the main branch of the family, so he couldn’t really interject.

Thus, he could only silently watch the drama unfold.

But Sylvia Lane was oblivious to all this.

At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled with Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw’s expression turned cold, his icy gaze landing on her.

Seeing Lucas Shaw looking over, Sylvia Lane’s heart leaped with joy.

She shyly lifted her hand, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.

"Brother Lucas, come and sit down. You must be hungry after a long day."

Serena peeked out from behind Lucas Shaw, "Miss Lane, it seems you are sitting in my spot. Mrs. Shaw usually values manners the most, didn’t she teach you the basic etiquette of the dining table?"

Sylvia Lane’s face turned pale, and she looked anxiously at Lucas Shaw.

"Brother Lucas, I didn’t know this was Miss Summers’ spot. Miss Summers, I am truly sorry, it wasn’t intentional."

Sylvia Lane verbally apologized, but still sat unwaveringly in the chair.

Serena Summers narrowed her eyes slightly, sneering in her heart.

"Now that you know, Miss Lane?"
