Chapter 347 The Surprise Family Upgrade
Lucas carefully hung the two boxes of cookies and the box of pumpkin pies onto the scooter’s handlebars. He then moved toward the tiny back seat, eyeing the narrow perch and contemplating the proper way to
sit-
“ Beep! Hurry up, hop on!” Theresa urged.
In the end, Lucas chose the gentleman’s sitting style.
He sat like he was on a little stool, both legs pressed together, back straight, side–sitting on the narrow seat.
He would have preferred to sit astride, all manly and steady, but his suit pants didn’t allow that much. stretch.
Still. his years in the military kept his posture dignified enough.
But soon, a new problem emerged.
Where should I put my hands?
Normally, shouldn’t I hold the driver’s waist or wrap his arms around her?
After all, it’s a scooter. I need to hold on to something.
“All set?” Theresa glanced back at his slow and cautious movements. “Come on!”
After a long internal struggle, Lucas finally reached out and grabbed a tiny corner of her clothing.
He just used two fingers, pinching the very edge of her hem, not an inch more.
“I’m holding on,” he declared righteously, like a model soldier.
Theresa lowered her eyes to look at the corner of her jacket and the two trembling fingers. “Alright. If you’re holding on, we’re moving.
She twisted the throttle, and the scooter glided forward.
The cool evening breeze of the Thanksgiving Festival swept along the streets.
People who had finished work early were strolling in small groups.
And then they saw their alliance leader riding a scooter, carrying the KI Camp commander on the back.
The commander was only pinching her jacket hem, his face red like the sunset.
Lucas‘ heart pounded wildly the entire ride.
Before long, Theresa turned onto a southern street, For more chapters visıt

After joining the alliance, each camp had its own residential block, usually a whole street.
With the city secured and resources abundant, and the population so small, they no longer faced the crushing real estate pressure of the pre–apocalypse.
Now, people could live in whatever size home they wanted.
If someone wanted a large suite all to themselves, they could have it. No more being crushed by housing. prices.
Of course, for management and work purposes, residents stayed in their own camp’s zone.
This particular street was Kl Camp’s residential area.
Theresa turned off the main street onto a quieter lane.
Soon, a cluster of small garden villas appeared.
This was where Lucas and his grandfather lived.
As soon as Theresa entered the area, she heard bright, tinkling laughter from inside.
There were elderly chuckles and a woman’s voice.
“My aunt’s already here?” Theresa said as she parked the scooter by the gate.
“Yes. I sent someone to bring
your
Aunt Tania over early, Lucas replied.
Just as they spoke, the iron gate swung open, and a woman in her early thirties wearing a bodycon dress walked out with a beaming smile. “Terry is here! Come, let me give you a kiss!“.
“Aunt, we’re at someone else’s house. Mind yourself, Theresa said, exasperated.
“What’s someone else’s house? This is going to be your grandpa’s home and my home!”
Theresa and Lucas looked full of doubts.
“Tessa! Lucas! You’re finally back!” A cheerful, hearty laugh came from inside as Xavier walked out, his face full of delight.
“I’ve got big news for you!” he announced..
“I had such a great chat with Tania. I like her so much. I’ve decided to recognize her as my daughter.” He turned to Theresa.
“Tessa, Tania and I already registered it with the city hall. From now on, our family hierarchy is reorganized. In public, you can still call me Grandpa, but in private, you can call me Old Mr. Keaton.”
Theresa was speechless.
Oh my god!
What the heck is this?

But the real bombshell was for Lucas. He’d only stepped out for a bit, and now he had a new biological
aunt
Lucas, come on and greet her.
Lucas said, “Hello, Aunt Tania,”
“Good boy!” Tania’s eyes curved into happy crescents. “I made delicious food for both of you. From now on, you’re both my darlings,”
Lucas remained silent.
“Lucas, from now on, Tessa is your real sister. You must protect her well, Xavier said, beaming at Theresa. “I’ve always wanted a granddaughter like her, and now my wish has come true. Tessa, come drink with me?
Lucas said nothing.
Xavier happily led Tania and Theresa into the house, completely forgetting his grandson at the gate.
