In the photos, Summer's expression was calm, almost as if she didn’t have any feelings for Harry. It didn’t seem like she wanted to get back together with Harry as the comments online suggested. On the contrary, Harry looked like he was filled with jealousy as if he had been dumped by someone he loved dearly. The reporter wondered if Harry was still deeply in love with Summer. However, it was none of his business anyway. He was satisfied with the money he had gotten.-The day of the trial was getting closer. Summer knew that Lucas was leaving, so she especially saw him off with the Gerhold family at the airport.“Thanks for your help, Mr. Gomez.” Summer was grateful to Lucas. He had agreed to help her without any hesitation, and he also got Gary to testify in court. Summer might not have been able to do that if she had gone to see Gary herself. “You are Serenity’s friend. Of course, I’ll help you.” At the mention of Serenity’s name, Lucas wondered about her current condition. H
“Right,” North said and looked at Summer. “Why don’t you come with us? I would like to discuss what you said last time.” Summer’s eyes widened, and she smiled. “Sure.” Yelena looked at Summer, wanting to say something.When they arrived at the Gerhold residence, North dismissed the servants. Only the three of them were left in the living room. “Are you still planning to do what you mentioned previously?” North asked. “You don’t have to do so even if you feel indebted to Nathan.” North had hated Summer once. However, after seeing how hard she worked to find the truth behind the car accident, his hatred for her had faded unconsciously. The person he should hate now was Joyce. “I’m not doing this out of guilt, but because I… love Nathan,” Summer said softly. “It’s to make our wish come true.” “You’re still young and have plenty of time to find someone you love,” North said. Summer smiled bitterly. “Nathan was the only one who loved me the most in this world, and I don't want to lov
Serenity aimed to protect the child in her belly now. “Didn’t we say that we would pick up the kids after you finish your business?” Jackson asked as he looked at the time.“I’ve told Elliot to pick them up. Jackson, I’ve got something to talk to you about,” Serenity said. “Is it something urgent?” Jackson asked.“Uhh… Lucas might be back in Solaria because of my pregnancy.” Serenity told Jackson about the events leading up to Summer's phone call. Since they had agreed to be honest with each other in the first place, she didn't want to hide it.Jackson listened with a straight face. “So, are you afraid that I'll think too much about it?” Jackson smiled. Serenity nodded.He got up and wrapped his arms around her. “Don’t worry, I won’t. It’s his business if he still can't let go of his feelings for you.” Serenity sighed in relief. She feared that they would have unnecessary misunderstandings.“But… are you willing to sacrifice so much for the child?” Jackson asked. “Yes,” Serenit
She was experiencing more severe morning sickness during this pregnancy compared to the last one. Typically, morning sickness symptoms subsided after the first three months, but unfortunately, her symptoms had not only persisted but worsened.Every time he saw her pale face, his mood darkened. Jackson stood outside the bathroom door, listening to the sounds of her dry heaving. He lowered his gaze."Lucas Gomez..." he murmured, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes. Even if Lucas returned to Solaria, it would not affect his relationship with Serenity. He would not allow it!To Jackson's surprise, Lucas came looking for him the very next day."Why do you let Serenity continue with the pregnancy?" Lucas got straight to the point as soon as he saw Jackson.Jackson stared at him coldly. "This is between Serenity and me. You have no right to ask.""But do you realize how dangerous it is for her to continue the pregnancy? She might not be able to keep her uterus!" Lucas took a
"There's no possibility of that ever happening!" Jackson cut Lucas short, forcefully pinning him against the wall. "It doesn't matter if you had recognized Serenity sooner or not, she will always be mine.""Bullsh*t!" Lucas retaliated, pushing Jackson to the side, refusing to back down.The two men started fighting in the spacious office.When Serenity received a phone call and arrived at the office, she saw Jackson sitting at the desk, while Lucas was sitting on the couch. Both had visible injuries on their faces as well as disheveled hair and clothes, indicating a fight had taken place.The two men were visibly surprised to see her. After a few seconds, Jackson asked, "What are you doing here?""Your secretary mentioned some 'commotion' in the office, but he didn't dare to intervene, so I came to check," Serenity said. "What happened between the two of you?""Nothing. We just did a little exercise," Jackson said with a smile. "I'll ask the driver to take you back. The doctor ad
Lucas did not leave in the car he arrived in; instead, he aimlessly wandered the streets, feeling lost and uncertain. The path ahead seemed bleak to him. Perhaps, he had already reached the end of the road in this path called 'life'.He couldn't help but question all his actions and choices up until this point.He wanted to forget Serenity so badly, but he couldn't do it. He wanted to protect her, but now that she was in danger, he couldn't do anything. He could only watch helplessly as she dived head-first into the danger.When she told him that the reason she was willing to take such a huge risk to bear the child was simply because it was hers and Jackson's child, despair filled his heart. He should have expected that answer. He knew she loved Jackson. Meanwhile, to her, he was merely a childhood friend who had shared hardships. His love had always been one-sided.He knew this, but why did it hurt so much? The pain was suffocating him.Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the
The woman had only one umbrella. Because she was shielding Lucas from the rain, she ended up getting partially soaked herself."I don't like being followed," Lucas coldly remarked."But...," the woman hesitated, "Are you really alright?"Why would he not be alright? Lucas turned away and continued walking as if he had lost all interest in her.Yet, the umbrella kept following him like a shadow, protecting him from the rain.He turned around once more, casting a cold gaze at the woman. "I told you I don't like being followed."It’s not as if she liked following other people! Coco Souza complained inwardly. She was not a busybody who liked to poke her nose in other people's affairs. However, when she saw this man walking in the rain and noticed the expression on his face, she suddenly felt uneasy. That's why she decided to shield him from the rain with her umbrella."Listen... It's normal to have problems in life. As long as you overcome the challenges, things will get better," sh
After all, his wealth and background were undeniably enticing. What about this woman? Did she recognize him?But the woman said no more. She simply stood next to him silently, holding the umbrella without making him uncomfortable.Lucas stopped walking. He stood still, gazing into the distance.The rain continued to pour down, as if it was trying to cleanse all the impurities from the world."Have you ever loved someone with all your heart?" the words slipped out of his mouth, surprising even himself. Why was he discussing this with a stranger?Coco froze, her grip on the umbrella tightening. Then, she responded with just two words, "I have.""Really?""But my love turned out to be a joke. He never loved me back. It was just a bet he made with other people, and I’m just a pawn in their game. What a cliché story, right?" Coco chuckled self-deprecatingly.Although it happened a long time ago, it remained a scar in her heart. In front of familiar faces, she always pretended to
