“You’re not in your right mind now. You don’t know what you’re doing," Lucas said. Did Coco realize how much willpower it took for him to restrain himself from taking her? Coco propped herself up slightly and looked directly into Lucas’s eyes. Her eyes looked hazy as she said in a slurred voice, “I... I'm not drunk, Lucas. Not drunk at all!"Lucas couldn’t help but smile wryly at Coco who was insisting that she was clear-headed."You’re drunk. Come on, let me get up," he said, wanting to get out of this awkward position.Coco didn’t budge. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing closer to him. "I’m in my right mind, Lucas. I want to have kids with you... We don’t need triplets... Twins would be enough. I... I really want to make babies with you...” "Kids..." Lucas murmured, then smiled bitterly. It would be great if Coco was saying this while being sober. It meant that she was ready to entrust her life to him since she was willing to have children with him. Alas, sh
It was a perfect night for Lucas, but in a way, he had taken advantage of Coco. He knew she was drunk and that many of her actions might have been impulsive, but he let himself indulge in their love. Normally, Lucas was a rational person, yet Coco seemed to quietly crumble his walls and slide into his life. By the time he realized it, he couldn’t live without her."Coco..." Lucas murmured. Her scent still lingered on the pillow, making him crave more of her.When Coco came out of the bathroom, Lucas was getting dressed."Y-you're awake?" She asked, feeling a bit embarrassed."Yeah," Lucas replied. "How are you feeling? Is everything alright?"His question made her blush even more. "Yes, I'm fine," she hurriedly said.Seeing her flushed cheeks, Lucas pondered for a moment before saying, "I shouldn’t have done that with you last night.""No, it wasn’t your fault. It was me... I was the one... I shouldn't have taken advantage of you..." Coco wanted to bite her tongue realizing the nonse
Coco smiled and said, "Because I believe you will eventually fall in love with me, I might as well start exercising my rights to you early."Although it saddened her that Lucas hadn’t fallen for her yet, she preferred to spend her life with him rather than dwell on the sadness. She had a gut feeling that he would love her one day, and she was willing to wait for him. She would wait until the day he would say, "Coco, I love you!", and it would be the most beautiful sound she could ever hear.Lucas hugged Coco tightly. "Alright, then. We’ll get married if you’re pregnant. If you’re not, we’ll get married whenever you want.""Sure!" Coco hugged Lucas back.Right at that moment, she began to anticipate their life after marriage and what their children would be like. She was confident that their life would be filled with happiness. -Weston stayed in Solaria for a few more days after the banquet because of Frederick.Those few days, Frederick kept visiting the Valor Residence, so Weston n
If one day Jacqueline no longer wanted to listen to Frederick’s piano playing, he would stop then. Jackson clearly understood what Weston meant, so he didn't say anything further.Before leaving Solaria, Weston took Frederick to Jenny's gravesite.Weston felt like he was looking at a stranger, staring at Jenny's black and white photo on the tombstone. He had no feelings for this woman and could barely even recall her face. Still, she had given birth to the only child he would ever have, making his feelings toward her rather complex.Standing beside Weston, Frederick's small face was taut with tension. His eyes were fixed on the tombstone, and his hands were clenched into tight fists, showing his stress.“You should pay your respects. After all, she did give birth to you," Weston said."I don't want to," Frederick refused. To him, this woman he was supposed to call "Mommy" had never truly loved him. She had only used him till the end, deceiving others by using his background.Back then,
Jacqueline held a place in Fred’s heart far greater than anyone else.As the candles burned out, Weston said to his son, "Come on, let's go.""Okay," Frederick responded.Soon, they left Jenny's grave, and it might be a long time before they visited again. Everyone would end up as nothing more than a handful of dust in the end.-These days, Coco had been focusing on practicing her French. Her conversational skills had improved so rapidly that she couldn't believe it. She found herself capable of basic daily conversations in French, something she would have thought impossible not long ago. Now, she felt less anxious about attending the comic exchange event, knowing she wouldn't be completely at a loss during everyday interactions.However, her mind would wander off to whether she might be pregnant. She used to fear the idea of getting pregnant, but she found herself hoping for it now.Minnie teased Coco, saying, "Even if you’re not pregnant, you should just marry Lucas already. It’s b
However, the content was somewhat inappropriate for younger audiences, making Coco blush and her heart race. It detailed how men and women could increase their chances of conceiving and what to do after the deed. Coco was left stunned by the intricate details. She had no idea that preparing for pregnancy involved so many specifics.Just then, a voice sounded beside her, "So, you really want to get pregnant, huh?"Coco was startled and turned around, only to see Lucas's handsome face inches away from hers."N-no! This was something Minnie sent me. I was just taking a look at it," she quickly explained, though her flushed cheeks and stammering voice made her sound less convincing."Yeah, sure," Lucas said with a meaningful smile."It's true! Minnie sent it to me!" Coco repeated with a loud voice."Yeah, I know.” Lucas was still smiling.‘Why do I feel like the more I explain, the worse it sounds?’ Coco thought to herself.At that moment, another message popped up from Minnie. "So, how
Coco was at a loss for words. "All in all, you had a good time last night," Minnie said with a wink. "Just follow the instructions in the file I gave you, and I guarantee you'll get pregnant soon. My relatives tried it, and it worked like a charm."Coco’s mouth twitched. "Thanks for your enthusiasm.""No problem. Just remember to make me your baby’s godmother when the time comes," Minnie laughed.They chatted a bit more and then discussed the upcoming comic exchange event."The event lasts a week. The organizers will cover your flight and accommodation, so you won't need to pay anything. After you land, you'll have to make your own way to the hotel..." Minnie explained.Coco listened and took the various documents Minnie handed her."You'll be in Lanford for a week on your own. Will you be alright? Should I come over during the weekend to keep you company?" Minnie asked, feeling a bit worried."Don't worry, I'll be fine. It's not like I haven't traveled alone to unfamiliar cities befo
Lucas found Coco adorable when she was lively like this, almost like a fan meeting their favorite celebrities. Except, in her case, she was going to meet different cartoonists. "I’m not sure if I can get their autographs when I meet them. Especially from a few of the senior cartoonists that I grew up reading their comics. I never thought there would be a day when I could interact with them face-to-face. I wonder if someday I can create works as good as theirs.” Coco's eyes shone brightly as she talked passionately about her career. She looked incredibly beautiful from Lucas’s point of view. "Of course, you will!" Lucas assured her.On the day of their departure to Lanford, Lucas upgraded Coco's ticket to first class when they arrived at the airport. It was her first time flying first class.She didn't refuse his kind gesture, understanding that he wanted her to travel comfortably."Have you been to Lanford before?" Coco asked curiously."Yes," Lucas replied. "I once helped Serenity
