Theodore Lucas was afraid Evelyn Bright might become suspicious, so he dared not delay even for a moment.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, he lowered his head and smiled, "Sure, I've actually always liked you too. I've even thought about how wonderful it would be if Evelyn weren't my daughter."
Theodore Lucas' words obviously pleased Evelyn Bright. She reached out to touch his face and stood on tiptoe...
Evelyn Bright was always bold and didn't care that her biological father and others were watching.
Just like that, she brought her lips close to Theodore Lucas' mouth.
Theodore Lucas' entire back stiffened, and he gritted his teeth, telling himself that it wouldn't hurt to sacrifice a bit.
He could just treat Evelyn Bright as an outsider offering herself.
A small sacrifice could buy time and ensure the successful rescue of his daughter-in-law and grandson.
Theodore Lucas slowly lowered his head, drawing closer, almost kissing Evelyn Bright's lips.
