Chapter: 854
Lukas lowered his eyes and continued, "The girl didn't explain anything. Instead, she just knelt down on the floor and apologized.

Moreover, she quit her job and left the house. It was raining heavily at that time, but she still chose to leave."

Joey felt so upset that he didn't want to hear the story anymore.

“Sir, what does your story have to do with Mr. Sullivan? It doesn't interest me. It's just too depressing."

"What does it have to do with Mr. Sullivan? Everything. .

"What do you mean?" Joey asked, extremely confused at this point.

Lukas paused for a moment, breathed deeply, and said, "The girl and the young man from the story are actually Mr. Sullivan's parents."

Hearing this, Joey was stunned.

In a helpless and distressing tone, Lukas added, “Mr. Sullivan was born without being blessed. He grew up living with his mother since he was born. Because of their situation, it resulted to his indifference when it comes to love."

It was late at night and the room was dim.

Joey sat at the edge of the bed and looked out of the window at the dark scenery. His mind went back to what Lukas had said in the baby's room.

Lukas said that Victor's birth wasn't a joyous one. His mother got pregnant accidentally, and his father detested the mere thought of his existence. Because of this, his mother sacrificed everything she had, to give birth to him in good health.

Joey could remember Lukas' words.

"Although Mr. Sullivan didn't tell anyone and doesn't show it, his grandma and I know that he has never stopped blaming himself for his own mother's death. Now that he is

CEO, outsiders think he has reached the height of his glory. But they don't know what goes on in his head. He feels like he has no business living in this world, and he hates himself for being alive when his mother died for him. This is why he is unwilling to open his heart to others. He is practically scared of accepting people."

Lukas couldn't stop his tears from flowing as he spoke.

"His grandma was the only person he accepted and allowed to get close enough to him. Unfortunately, she died when he least expected it. She didn't want him to be alone. Knowing Mr. Sullivan well, she was afraid that he would do something stupid after she died. That was why she had been in such a hurry to marry him off to Rachel at that time. She was hoping that he would at least have his family to help him, if it all became too much for him and he had a breakdown." Lukas sighed with a bitter smile, looked at his feet, and shook his head.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Sullivan's wish wasn't finally fulfilled. After Mrs.

Sullivan passed away, and the two-year period contract expired, Mr.

Sullivan presented his wife with a divorce agreement. Soon enough, the news of their divorce spread all over the city like a wild fire.

I was sure Mr. Sullivan would never let anyone else get close to him.

So, I vowed to take care of him. At least in that way, I wouldn't disappoint Mrs. Sullivan, and Mr. Sullivan would have someone to accompany him. However, no one expected that Miss Bennet would be pregnant when all of this happened. When we discovered this, she was brought back to the house. From then, Mr. Sullivan's attitude towards

Miss Bennet visibly changed. He kept aside his coldness and even took her for walks around the city just to make her smile." Lukas smiled as he recounted this part.

"That was the first time I ever saw Mr.

Sullivan act kind and patient to someone who wasn't his grandma. He had slowly begun to accept Miss Bennet, and had let her in. It didn't stay for long, though. Miss Bennet soon lost her child, and the relationship between her and Mr. Sullivan severed as though it had never existed."
