Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 173: You Once Belonged to Me, Too

For someone with Lachlan Wyatt’s personality, it’s truly like having his brain squeezed by a door to hand over such an important black card to Felix Crawford.

Moreover, Lachlan Wyatt hadn’t even thoroughly investigated Felix Crawford’s past. Based solely on those dark blue eyes and that face resembling his own, he made such a grand gesture?

Iris Crawford was stunned, but she didn’t stop her son from interacting with Lachlan Wyatt.

After a moment of silence, she said, "Lachlan Wyatt has already been kicked out by his own father. You should return his money."

The implication was that Lachlan Wyatt might be in a tough spot recently.

"Indeed, where has Lachlan Wyatt been staying recently? Is he short of money?" When speaking of this, Orion Crawford’s eyebrow twitched. Lachlan Wyatt always had a sharp tongue and a bad temper. In matters concerning his sister, Orion Crawford often wanted to punch him in anger. But then he thought of how Lachlan Wyatt had fallen out with his own father for Felix Crawford and even left The Wyatt Group, giving up the position of CEO...

Orion Crawford felt a complex mix of emotions again.

What kind of feelings did Lachlan Wyatt have for Iris Crawford and Felix Crawford?

Is he even capable of loving someone?

Or perhaps, having never been loved, even the semblance and way of loving are ugly and foolish...

"I thought you’d be angry," Felix Crawford seriously looked at his mother’s face. "After all, you hate Lachlan Wyatt. If I’m good to Lachlan Wyatt, I’m afraid you’d be upset."

"Do whatever you want to do," Iris Crawford touched Felix Crawford’s face. "If you want to contact Lachlan Wyatt, you can call him openly. After all, you are an independent individual. However, you should still be cautious..."

Felix Crawford listened to his mother’s guidance, his fair little face filled with a maturity beyond his years.

Iris Crawford looked at the ceiling, perhaps recalling her past with Lachlan Wyatt, filled with emotion—

"Human hearts change at any time, emotions do not count as part of conscience."

Felix Crawford was jolted.

Emotions do not count as part of conscience.

What kind of experiences would lead a woman to speak such ruthless and seasoned words? Clearly, his mother appeared to be the one betrayed multiple times, yet when she spoke these words, it was more like she was the one doing the abandoning.

"It’s precisely because I’ve been abandoned, that I know the kind of face someone shows when they abandon another person."

Iris Crawford tugged at the corner of her mouth, "But you are still young, Felix. I will use everything I have to pave the way for your future, so you can live more comfortably and have a wider space to advance and strive. As for your emotions, your loves and hates..."

She gently poked Felix Crawford’s chest, "You should personally experience and decide it for yourself. I won’t guide you to love or hate anyone."

Orion Crawford listened from the side, stunned by Iris Crawford’s method of education. What kind of free-range education is this, that Iris Crawford didn’t speak a word against Lachlan Wyatt in front of Felix?

Iris Crawford only wanted to cultivate Felix’s ability and talent, with no intention to pass hatred onto the next generation.

No wonder she chose to give birth to Felix after careful consideration, perhaps because she had already made up her mind back then?

Prepared to turn the page for Felix and start anew.

With a sigh in his heart, Orion Crawford stepped forward and picked up Felix Crawford, "You are both my precious ones, and no one will make you suffer, not even Lachlan Wyatt!"

Felix Crawford chuckled, "Then Uncle, you can’t get married! You have to be my bodyguard!"

Orion Crawford was momentarily startled, "Marriage is an important life event!"

Felix Crawford held his belly and laughed, kicking his little legs. The house was filled with liveliness. Though Skye Lockwood wasn’t present, they had just video-called her. For the past five years, she and Cynthia had been living a slow-paced life in another city, which was considered happy and fulfilling.

Outside the brightly lit villa, a man stood there for a long time with a straight posture, like an outsider out of place. The laughter and joy from the Crawford family floated to his ears. The man’s eyelashes trembled slightly, yet he never pressed the doorbell to enter.

In his pocket, the phone vibrated, and Lachlan Wyatt took it out to glance. He found it was a message from Leo Langdon.

Hugh Wyatt was gradually freezing all funds related to Lachlan Wyatt and the Wyatt Family, truly enraged, determined to make Lachlan suffer.

He even threatened in the circle that whoever dared to help Lachlan Wyatt was against him.

With a sneer, facing Hugh Wyatt’s threat, Lachlan Wyatt indifferently put his phone away.

He had never for a moment felt that those fame, wealth, and money truly belonged to him.

He had long seen through his hypocritical and selfish father and his equally hypocritical and selfish self, which he inherited entirely.

Iris Crawford.

Only holding you did I feel that you once, momentarily, belonged to me.
