His mother nodded awkwardly to each of them before hurriedly leaving with her son.Lucius's brows furrowed in irritation, realizing that his wife appealed to men of all ages, including kids.But Violet could care less about his thoughts as she touched her tummy and asked, "How could I possibly be pr
"Did you hear me?" Lucius repeated. As Violet broke out of her reverie and turned to face him, his tone became harsher again. It seemed like there was a large stone weighing down in his chest, nothing felt right. He would not have wasted a second glance at any other woman, whether or not she had a
"So, who do you like?"His gaze was fierce as it fastened on her face. He was determined to get a response from her.Violet flushed. She remarked, "Can't you tell?""I want to hear it from you!"She couldn't help but sigh at his insistence. Violet confessed. "It's you."Violet uttered it softly and
Violet gently asked to be put down a couple of times. When she received no answer, she knew he didn't want to let go and quit urging him entirely.The doctor could only offer so much advice so she made urgent arrangements for Violet's examination.Lucius confidently walked into the examination room.
"Why... are you here?" Violet asked hesitantly, her expression sorrowful."If I didn’t come over, were you planning to spend another night here alone?”He was taunting her, but his tone was incredibly gentle. Because she was in such a bad mood, Violet stuttered, "The baby... I'm not pregnant.""I k
This was the ultimate sweet talk, and coming from someone like Lucius made it nearly unbelievable.Violet turned abruptly, questioning her own hearing. She asked softly, "Really? Are you telling the truth?"This is the truth."He bent down and kissed her lips."Violet, you're killing me with your ho
It took Violet a while to understand Regina's questions. Her face burned with embarrassment, leaving her at a loss for words."Just be honest with me; don't be shy," Regina said as she patted her on the back encouragingly."Well... there are times we do and times we don't," Violet admitted while fid
Caught in the crossfire, Howard could only accept the blame silently.Lucius was lounging on the couch. He listened to everything in quiet silence, pouting his lips and evidently dissatisfied with the inherited traits from Howard.Howard glared at him. He was prepared for another round of debate, bu
Lucius simply nodded, glancing at the papers on his desk but not bothering to touch them. "Take those away and get the procedures done as fast as possible," he instructed."Sure thing, Master Lucius," Hector responded, collecting the papers. He hesitated for a moment before speaking up again. "Oh
"Is the child Lucius's?""Of course."Agatha didn't know how she managed to leave the building; she only felt a chill running through her body. When she said those words, she had no idea Violet was pregnant. What had she been trying to accomplish with her actions? Even she couldn't figure it out.
When they hopped into the car, it took Violet a while to compose herself. She gently pulled away from Oliver's grasp and said, "I'm okay now. Let me go.""How are you okay? I saw you in that accident; I can't just ignore it," Oliver retorted, his tone softening despite his frustration. He didn't wa
She couldn’t put aside her own feelings, but she had to think about the baby's health.Oliver managed a strained smile. He couldn't express what he wanted to say, so he simply helped her out of the hospital.Back at home, Violet ushered him toward the door, saying, "I'm back home now. You should go
"Master Lucius," whispered the assistant as he leaned in close to Lucius's ear.His voice was barely audible to anyone else, but Sarah watched as Lucius clenched his glass so tightly that it seemed like it might shatter.Lucius didn't say a word. After the assistant left, everything returned to norm
However, Sarah didn't seem in a hurry to leave. She maintained her smile and offered, "Is there something you need from Lucius? I can pass on the message to you."Her seemingly polite offer was clearly a jab at Violet.Violet's expression turned cold. She retorted, "Thank you, Ms. Meyer. But Lucius
Violet cried in Patrick's embrace, but she couldn't bring herself to tell him what had happened.Patrick didn’t push her, worried that she might feel worse. He left after making her a promise to reach out if she needed anything.Violet agreed, but she knew she should rely on Patrick less.After fini
The glass he held shattered due to his rage.Sarah leisurely sipped her wine, her eyes carrying a profound meaning. Lucius used her to provoke Violet, which was despicable, but she found solace in that woman's words.Swoosh! Lucius stood up abruptly."Master Lucius," a subordinate rushed into the ro
"Dad, don't worry. I'm okay," Violet reassured Patrick with a faint smile.Patrick noticed her weak smile. He wanted to ask more, but Violet quickly cut off the conversation, saying she had work to do."Okay." Patrick nodded reluctantly, deciding not to pry further. "Astrid mentioned you haven't bee
