Pregnant but Rejected as A Billionaire Wife 24. Dream too much
"Sir, my audit team and I have checked multiple times. Arinda, Mr. Daniel's wife, doesn't have any foreign accounts or suspected involvement in money laundering or anything of the sort. The investigation has been thorough. I can assure you we won't be wrong."In the office space in his home, Lucas received a report from Felix. One task had been successfully completed by his assistant. Now, it was up to him to slowly investigate Deasy. Whether his boss had foreign accounts suspected to be where Daniel had hidden the company's money."So, we can remove her from the list.""Yes, Sir. Now it's just Ms. Deasy. For her, I leave it entirely to you, Mr. Lucas."Lucas nodded his head and reached for the documents that Felix had provided earlier, reading them once more."At first glance, Deasy's documents are clean, white, like Eid clothes. There's no stain.""But, it doesn't rule out the possibility that she received illicit funds from Mr. Daniel, right?"Lucas nodded."Yeah, all those possibi

Discovering Deasy suddenly staggering, then losing consciousness, Lucas promptly reached out to catch her so she wouldn't fall to the floor.Exerting all his strength, Lucas then carried Deasy and brought her to the bedroom, where he gently laid her on the bed.For a moment, Lucas took a deep breath. Trying not to panic, he hurriedly contacted the apartment's receptionist, requesting assistance in summoning a doctor to examine Deasy's condition as soon as possible.Fortunately, in the apartment complex, there was a standby doctor. It only took five minutes for the doctor to arrive and begin the examination."So, how is she, doc?"Lucas and the doctor both stepped out of the room. They sat on the living room sofa, discussing Deasy's condition and the reasons she had lost consciousness."Actually, there's nothing to worry about. Pregnant women often experience various symptoms in the early trimester. Some feel nauseous and vomit frequently. They may also struggle to eat. Mood swings are

"You're really diligent, being at the office so early in the morning."Andromeda immediately addressed Lucas when she found him sitting neatly in his office at eight in the morning. Everyone knew that Lucas had officially resigned and was even going to leave for good in a few days. So, why bother being this diligent?Instead of hanging around the office early in the morning when no one was even there yet, Andromeda wondered why he didn't just come whenever he felt like it. After all, work attendance was no longer being counted."I want to hand over the remaining tasks to Mrs. Sofia."Lucas wasn't entirely boasting. Today, he did have to hand over the remaining work obligations as requested by the planning manager. The rest of his time, he used to investigate Daniel's financial data, which he could only access from Deasy's computer in the office.Unfortunately, despite coming early in the morning and sneaking around, he hadn't found anything yet. As his assistant had said, most likely

Lucas was taken aback. His hand was already poised to input the numbers to unlock Deasy's laptop. However, upon hearing his name being called, he turned. To his surprise, he found Deasy standing there, gazing at him with a look of curiosity."Lucas... what are you doing with my laptop?"Thinking quickly about how to respond, Lucas couldn't admit that he was currently inspecting his boss's laptop without permission. That would surely get him in trouble."Me? What am I doing? I'm just hunting down germs that might be lurking on Ms. Deasy's belongings."Deasy glared at him. Why did Lucas always respond with such silly answers whenever she asked something serious? Couldn't the guy stay focused on the matter at hand? It was baffling!"I'm serious. Why were you trying to access my laptop without permission? You're caught."Lucas then pulled out his phone, opened the messaging app, and showed something to Deasy for her to read.Sofia: Lucas, there's a missing LJ report. Can you send the rema

"Oh my... I thought it was Lucas who was coming."Veronica entered Deasy's apartment unit with a puzzled expression. She quickly sat down on the sofa, and Deasy followed suit."Lucas? Which Lucas are you talking about?""Lucas Orion. The nerdy Lucas."Veronica burst into laughter. However, seeing Deasy's annoyed expression, she quickly covered her mouth."Oops... sorry. But why did you think Lucas Orion was coming?"Deasy leaned against the back of the sofa, taking a deep breath as if she had just gone through something very exhausting."Just so you know, Lucas and I have made an agreement and a pact.""Huh?" Veronica was taken aback, but she quickly became curious. She wondered what kind of agreement had been made between her friend and the guy who had impregnated her."What kind of agreement?" Veronica's eyes widened. As if remembering something, she grabbed Deasy's wrist and exclaimed rather loudly, "Don't tell me you're getting married? Oh my... finally. So, are you really getting

"Out of all the documents I copied, you didn't find a single piece of data we need?"Lucas rubbed his temples. He felt like his efforts had been in vain. He had gone to great lengths, sneaking around and even getting caught trying to access Deasy's laptop, only to discover that none of the data he had copied contained any clues to solve the Daniel case he had been working on.Felix and the audit team, who had been helping him all along, had spent the last two days frequently hanging out at Lucas's residence, meticulously reviewing the copied data. Now, after hoping for more, it turned out they hadn't found the desired results."We've checked multiple times, one by one, even the smallest details. But we still couldn't find anything suspicious, Sir. So, it can be concluded that there is no suspicious data at all," Felix explained in detail.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself in the face of disappointment. He had hoped for at least one piece of evidence to incriminate Danie

"Have you taken your medicine? Are you still feeling nauseous or vomiting like yesterday?"A few days later, Veronica visited Deasy again. She looked worried, considering that Deasy had previously experienced severe nausea and vomiting, which had left her pale and weak.Veronica wanted to take her to the hospital, but Deasy kept refusing, claiming she was fine."I've taken my medicine, actually. The nausea still comes and goes. The vomiting has lessened."Veronica then took something out of the paper bag she had brought with her. It was a box of healthy food that she had intentionally bought for Deasy to eat."Well, how about trying to eat now? You haven't eaten, right?"Deasy shook her head."No, not yet. Honestly, I haven't had much of an appetite these past few days. The smell of food makes me nauseous. And if I can't bear it, I'll vomit right away.""Alright, try the food I brought. Maybe you'll like it."Veronica slowly opened the bento box she was holding. However, before it cou

Compared to Deasy, Lucas was the one who seemed most enthusiastic about heading to the hospital. He couldn't wait to find out the results of today's obstetric examination. Along the way, Lucas also thought about consulting with the doctor. He really wanted to ask about what he should do as a ready and vigilant expectant father.From the beginning, he knew that Deasy was carrying his flesh and blood, and he was determined to be completely committed. He would do anything to care for, protect, and provide the best for their unborn child."Please step out, dear."Once they arrived at the hospital lobby, Lucas promptly got out of the car and opened the door for her. He reached for Deasy's wrist without being asked, and then casually held her hand as he guided her slowly toward the obstetrics department."What? Dear? No need to be so formal, Luc. Who allowed you to call me 'dear'?""Well, instead of calling you 'Ms. Deasy' or using other formal language, people might think something else. I

"Welcome to Japan, Sweetheart."Deasy smiled broadly as she arrived and finally set foot in Japan. As a woman from an affluent family, traveling to Japan shouldn't have been difficult for her.Throughout her life, she had traveled to several countries, both for leisure and work-related purposes.However, despite visiting many countries in Europe and Asia, she had never had the opportunity to visit Japan. It was quite ironic.Now, after harboring this desire for so long, Lucas had granted it. Turning this special trip into a birthday gift made Deasy feel even more delighted."Thank you so much, Luc. As a husband and life partner, you truly go above and beyond. If I had ten thumbs, I'd give them all to you.""With my pleasure, Honey," Lucas replied when they had arrived in Japan and were now at the hotel. "Your happiness and Jonas's are my current life goals. Whatever it takes, I'll do it to make both of you happy.""But how did you kno

"Lucas, what surprise do you actually want to give, huh?" Deasy wondered. Just from her expression, her curiosity was so evident.Since waking up, Lucas had been treating her very specially. From being accompanied to bathe, to picking out clothes for her. Cooking her favorite breakfast menu. And of course, feeding her as usual.Actually, this often happened on ordinary days. What made it extraordinary was the presence of Veronica, Darwin, and Sean who were sitting in the dining room together with them this morning to enjoy breakfast.Deasy was certainly surprised. She never expected Lucas to invite his friends so early in the morning to visit and have breakfast together. Because usually, inviting people to celebrate birthdays always happened in the evening or at night. What was even more impressive was that their friends willingly came even though it was very early and on a holiday."Well, this is one of the surprises. Inviting your close friends to have

It's already eleven o'clock at night, but Deasy still hasn't seen Lucas, who hasn't come home all day.In all her time as a wife, Deasy has never known Lucas to come home late, let alone this late. Even if he had to work overtime, Lucas had never come home later than nine in the evening. So, where is her husband tonight?Deasy has tried multiple times to contact him and send text messages, but he hasn't responded to any of her attempts. He hasn't even answered her calls.Deasy has started to wonder if Lucas is so angry that he's decided not to come home. Or perhaps he's still spending time with Devina.Oh, this is just so frustrating!Speaking of Devina, why does it feel so suffocating to imagine that Lucas might actually be with his ex-fiancée? Deasy is not okay with her husband being with another woman, whoever she may be.Because of overthinking, Deasy is getting frustrated with herself. She's been waiting for Lucas, who still hasn
Pregnant but Rejected as A Billionaire Wife 102. Her fate
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Veronica could tell that Lucas was the type of guy who didn't easily get angry. So far, from the moment he tried to win over Deasy, Veronica believed that Lucas was a gentle and caring man who truly respected women.Back then, when Deasy intentionally tried to provoke him, hurling insults and even deliberate humiliation, Lucas wasn't offended or deterred in the slightest. He remained faithful and continued to try to win over Deasy, who was as stubborn as a rock.So, if he was angry now, Veronica was sure there must have been something that Deasy had done that had crossed the line. After all, people don't get angry and sulk for no reason."Well... no, it's not just that.""Then what?""This Joseph guy initially praised me. He said I looked prettier than before. So, the two of us started chatting about various things. We even discussed how he's still not married to this day. So, I casually asked him if

"Why is your face all scrunched up like that? Another fight? World War? Or what?"Having just met Deasy, Veronica could already guess what was happening with her friend. Deasy, who had been very busy, was called and asked to join her at their favorite coffee shop."Just annoyed," Deasy replied casually. Her face looked extremely sour. It was evident that she was not in a good mood."Annoyed about what again? Did Lucas ask for permission to get married again?"Deasy immediately looked up, glared at Veronica disapprovingly. She couldn't believe her longtime friend was talking so carelessly.Oh, Deasy forgot.Veronica's behavior was quite similar to her mother's. She often spoke without thinking and lacked empathy towards others."Gosh, you love speaking so recklessly, don't you?" Deasy scolded. She was clearly annoyed. "Don't forget how you used to talk when I first got married to Darwin. Your comments were way worse, Des."Deasy

Deasy continued to observe. She watched as Lucas, engrossed in playing with Jonas, interacted with him before heading off to work.This was indeed a routine that her husband always followed. No matter how busy or tired he was, Lucas made it a point to find time to play, chat, or carry Jonas around.The same applied to how he treated Deasy. Regardless of how occupied he was, Lucas always made an effort to give her attention.This morning, after playing with Jonas, Lucas still found time to have breakfast with Deasy. Instead of being overly dramatic, when Deasy asked to be fed, Lucas readily complied with his wife's request."Luc... Are you still angry?"Deasy intentionally inquired. Since the incident where Lucas had caught her engaging in a conversation with Joseph, her husband seemed deliberately silent.Yes, Deasy was aware that what she had done was a grave mistake. However, she had apologized repeatedly.Although he continued to s

Lucas: Honey, are you waiting for me right now? As soon as my client leaves, I'll come pick you up. I promise.Lucas waited anxiously for a response to the text message he sent to Deasy. He hoped his wife would understand and forgive his current situation.Deasy: Relax, Luc. I'm almost done here. I need to pick up some medicine and vitamins. Jonas is fine with me. When you're completely done with work, just come over here.Lucas: Alright, please be patient and wait for me. Later, we can have lunch together outside.Deasy: Sure, my beloved husband. I'll be waiting for your arrival.Earlier, Lucas had been in a meeting. Once his work was finished and he made sure his client had left the office, he quickly grabbed his car keys and prepared to pick up Deasy.Lucas knew today was the day their son was scheduled for vaccinations at the hospital. He had also promised his wife that, no matter how busy he was, he would make time to pick them up from

"Hey, Dad. How's it going? Sorry I couldn't visit sooner. This time, Deasy came to visit you along with the new addition to the family."Deasy smiled as she touched the gravestone with Anton Winterborne's name inscribed on it. Three months after giving birth, she finally had some free time to visit her father's grave, and once again, she was accompanied by her beloved mother, Diana.Before this, Deasy had visited her father's grave a few times shortly before giving birth. Today, she intentionally stopped by when Jonas had just turned three months old."Say hi, Dad. Deasy's new bodyguard is named Jonas. Jonas Fernando Morales. He's three months old now. If you look closely, he has a resemblance to you."Diana, sitting beside Deasy, smiled too. She touched her husband's gravestone and started talking, just like Deasy."Your favorite princess finally has a child, Dad," the woman said casually. "I bet you never thought that the spoiled, lazy, food-lovi
Pregnant but Rejected as A Billionaire Wife 97. Being Normal
After waking up from his long slumber a while ago, Lucas immediately called the medical team to examine Deasy's condition.Since he was allowed to watch, Lucas continued to observe how the doctor was currently examining each of his wife's bodily functions and ensuring that everything was in good condition."How is it, doc?" Lucas asked after the doctor finished the examination."Congratulations, Mr. Lucas. Finally, Mrs. Deasy is fully conscious. After reevaluation, I can assure you that her condition is very good and normal. For the time being, let her undergo intensive treatment in the hospital for a day or two. If her progress continues to be good, there's a possibility she can come home soon."After hearing the doctor's explanation, Lucas hurriedly approached Deasy, who was lying down. Without saying much, the shadowy-eyed man immediately embraced her. He held her tightly, as if pouring out the longing that had accumulated so high in the past few days.
