Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 75

The thought of kissing man made Arthur gag.

He thrust Lawrence’s hand away and turned his face aside, feeling nauseous.

Lawrence, however, was still as cold as he had always been. His face barely changed a little except for when he saw the saliva on the back of his hand.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Arthur thrust Lawrence forcibly.

“You want to kiss? Go to Lillian then. You just spoiled everything!”

Lillian feared that Lawrence would do something reckless and drag Amelia to him. So she trotted up to him before he said anything. She wrapped her hands around his arm, whispering to him. “Lawrence, do you have to make me sad?”

“And that is not even the important thing. Think of how your parents will feel if they know about you and Amelia. Lawrence, don’t let the people who love feel sad, please.”

Lawrence’s body stiffened. He turned around to avert his eyes from Amelia. What the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve…

Amelia was still in shock. Did Arthur just kiss Lawrence?

Why does he like being kissed by other man so much?

What a mentally ill man he is!

Noticing Lawrence’s anomaly, Arthur feared that he would do something wild again and take Amelia away from him. Hurriedly, he took Amelia’s hand and ran outwards the Repulse Bay.

If he loved a girl, he had to make the whole world know it.

Now the world had already known it. His goal of the day was achieved. So for the rest of the day, he would prefer to spend it with Amelia alone.

Lawrence’s hands coiled into fists as he watched them leave. He wouldn’t have resisted the impulse to chase them if Lillian weren’t clutching his arms tightly.

Among all the people in the yard, Heathway was shocked the most.

Her eyes were about to pop out.

She moved her eyes from the direction Arthur was leaving to Lawrence. Suddenly, her heart was filled with infinite melancholy.

She raised her face to look at Maximus. “Maximus, why would Lawrence interfere when Arthur tried to kiss Amelia and let Arthur kiss him instead?”

“You might have not seen what happened at the table just then, but I saw it. Lawrence crushed the cup in his hand when he saw Arthur fed Amelia.”

“Lawrence wouldn’t have some feeling s for Arthur, would he?”

Maximus twitched his mouth. Others might still be confused, but he had figured out what was going on among the young. But it never occurred to him that his wife would think that their son liked Arthur.

Maximus felt that it’s only going to make her more anxious if he told her the truth. So he kept silent.

“What’s the matter with you, Lawrence? Why did you keep sabotaging?”

“They aren’t compatible together.”

The thought of Amelia and Arthur making out at somewhere made his face dreadfully dark.

“That bitch doesn’t deserve Arthur.”

Heathway almost broke down when she heard Lawrence say so.

She was only suspicious about her son having a crush on Arthur, but now she’s certain. Her son was a gay.

He was impassive to Lillian. Heathway reflected. Lillian was only a guise to cover his sexual orientation.

It’s Lillian’s brother that he’s really coming after.

She kind of hated Lillian before, but now she felt sorry for her.

Heathway hammered at her own chest, groaned at Lawrence. “Even what you said is true, you still can’t be with Arthur!”

Lawrence peered at Heathway queerly. Why did he say that he wanted to be with Arthur.

It hurt Maximus to see how painful his wife was. He walked up and wrapped her in his arms. “Don’t be mad, it hurt me to see you like this.”

But his embrace somehow aggravated Heathway.

She wrenched his arms off her. She looked at Lawrence, and then noticed her other son and her daughter standing aside. For an instant, her anger exploded.

“Maximus, look what suckers have you raised.”

“Lawrence became a gay. Alfred was alright when he was a kid. But now? Allergic to women? What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“And Ellen too. Always screw things up. Spent half of her life chasing a man, but when she finally got him, what did she do? She dumped him just to preserve her stupid ego.”

“Tell me, Maximus. How and when can I have a grandchild with these mavericks of yours?”

Well, didn’t she have a part in having the kids? He couldn’t have a kid with his own effort.

Of course, Maximus wouldn't say that. He could only stoop meekly and tried to comfort his beloved.

“Heathway, how about we have one more kid since they don’t want one?”

“To heel with you.” Sullen, Heathway didn’t even feel like talking anymore. She gave the mavericks a furious glare each and then went back in her room.

Steven was the first one to take motion after Heathway left. Expressionlessly, he walked up to Lawrence.

“Lawrence, I want to tell you something.”

Lillian always wanted to make her presence felt every time she came here. But the men in the Dominic family were always so domineering and made her too frightened to talk. She stepped aside when Steven laid a cold glance at her.

“What?”

“Dad and mom may don’t know, but I know about your secret marriage.”

Few things in this world could go over Steven’s head. He’s just too smart.

“Lawrence, as your brother, I want to give you an advice. I told dad the same thing before, now, I tell it to you.”
