Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1177

Chapter 1177 Did Lucy Feel Heartbroken?
Silence filled the phone. Finally, Lennon mumbled, "Uh, well... have you noticed... if your mom seems a little down lately?"

The boy scoffed. "Nope, she's fine. As long as you stay away and she doesn't have to see your mug,"

Lennon sputtered, speechless. 'This little brat!'

Another awkward silence stretched before Lennon took a deep breath. "What about your new dad? Getting along okay?"

"Yeah, we're great," Alexis replied nonchalantly, flipping through a comic book. "We hit it off right away."

Colin's action-packed comics were exactly his jam!

"Hey, just hypothetically," Lennon started cautiously, "what if your new dad isn't exactly who you think he is? Like, not good to your mom? I mean, if he's not a good guy, you need to look after your mom, okay?"

Alexis raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Excuse me, but you're in no position to meddle in our business. And seriously? Who could be worse than you?"

Alexis had picked up bits and pieces about Lucy and Lennon's past from the servants at home.

"Mr. Belcourt, you're the last one who should be worried about Mom," he added, emphasizing his last name with another jab.

"Hand it over," Lucy said, her eyes calm and unwavering. She extended her hand towards Alexis.

Alexis pursed his lips and instinctively hid the phone behind his back. "Mr. Gray gave it to me."
