Chapter 1745
"Lufian is usually very well-behaved. He doesn't cause a fuss and is easy to handle."
"Is his name Lufian?"
"That's right. Lufian Hart."
Gloria's gaze flickered briefly but quickly returned to normal. "Have you given him a nickname?"
"Not yet," Vicky replied.
Gloria did not say anything further.
After playing with the child for a while, she carefully placed the necklace she had prepared around Lufian's neck.
The baby played for a while and soon fell asleep.
Gloria then gently returned Lufian to his stroller.
Leaving the nursery, Vicky and Gloria engaged in casual conversation. They had no deep-seated grudges, and over
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, their past love and hatred gradually faded away.
Vicky smiled and remarked, "You seem to really like children. How about having one yourself? A kid would make a
good companion for Lufian."
"I'd like to, but I haven't found the right person," Gloria lamented.
Gloria had been single for years. It was not because she
could not forget Tyler or was waiting for him, but she just had not met anyone who truly captured her heart, and
she was not one to settle for less.
"Harvey isn't bad. Have you considered him?" Vicky suggested
Gloria shook her head and smiled. "Harvey and I can't be lovers; we can only be friends. We have different interests
and hobbies. He doesn't share my passions. As for you... Children always need a father. Are you planning to be a
single parent forever?"
Vicky smiled. "A child can only have one father, but he won't lack fatherly love."
Aurora and Noah had grown fond of Lufian and became his godparents. They showered him with love and care, no
less than what his biological mother provided.
Gloria understood Vicky's meaning and sighed silently.
After chatting for a while longer, Gloria left.
Just as Vicky saw Gloria off, a disheveled middle-aged woman appeared at her doorstep.
"Vicky, you wicked wench! Give me back my sons!"
The woman was none other than Valencia.
After Tyler and Lincoln's disappearance, the situation in the Hart family plummeted. With no one to oversee the
family's affairs, the Harts descended into chaos, and their stock value hit an all-time low.
The Hart family was vast and had a deep foundation.
Despite these years of turmoil, it had yet to collapse entirely. However, it was barely holding on after Tyler's
destructive choices.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmValencia, who once lived as a wealthy aristocrat, fell into the ranks of ordinary people. The transition was difficult
for her, having been accustomed to a life of luxury and privilege.
Vicky gave her a cold glance and said indifferently, "What you want isn't your sons but a life of luxury and wealth."
When Tyler had first gone missing, the entire Hart family rejoiced, thinking that without him, they could do as they
pleased and divide up the Hart family’s assets. However, as time passed, they realized how wrong they had been as
they were powerless against the attacks of external competitors and could only struggle to survive.
In these years, the Hart family had been embroiled in internal strife, completely neglecting the changes happening
in the world outside.
Tyler's disappearance had made their situation even more challenging than when he had been around.
Vicky completely ignored Valencia and went back inside.
The situation at the Hart family was far from optimistic, but Vicky's career was thriving with branches opening
globally.
Anthony, with his financial prowess, made Jennifer a stakeholder in Vicky's studio. A branch of the studio was
opened in Lovian, too.
