73. Meet Lucas
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Since he had been dismissed, Lucas decided to leave. Just as he arrived at his car, his phone rang. It turned out to be Devina calling.
"Yes? What's up?"
"Luc, can we meet right now?"
"What's the matter?"
"There's something important I want to discuss."
"Alright, just come to my office. We can talk in my room, how about that?"
"Okay. I'll be there in thirty minutes or an hour."
After the call with Devina, Lucas hurriedly decided to return to the office. It had only been about fifteen minutes since he sat down when he heard a knock on his office door.
Suspicious, Lucas immediately invited whoever was outside to enter. He assumed it was Devina. However, when he looked up, he found Deasy standing before him.
"What are you doing in my office?" Lucas asked, his voice sounding cold.
Deasy slowly raised her head, attempting to meet Lucas's gaze, then took a few steps forward to place a red and brown folder that she had i

Accidentally bumping into Lucas at the obstetrician's office weighed heavily on Deasy's mind for three whole days. In reality, whether Lucas hung out in the ER, the cardiologist's practice, or even the operating room shouldn't have been an issue for Deasy at all.However, what really irked Deasy was that instead of accompanying her, a clearly pregnant woman, Lucas was escorting another lady. Who is it that's carrying Lucas's child, anyway? Deasy or Devina? Or could it be that Devina has also invested in her fiancé's womb all this time?Beyond that, whether intentional or not, Lucas's warm and attentive attitude toward Devina infuriated Deasy.Yes, Deasy knew that Lucas had always been a gentle and caring man. His acts of service were exceptional, to say the least. But that didn't mean he had to be that way with every woman. Deasy thought that such special treatment should be reserved for her alone, but that wasn't the case.Before Deasy's very eyes

"What else do you want by coming here?" Andreas asked with a cold tone. He stared sharply at Deasy, who now stood before him with her head bowed.Following her mother's request, Deasy had finally mustered the courage to meet Andreas at his office. Luckily, the middle-aged man was in his office. Even more fortunate, although his secretary had informed him of the visitor's identity, Andreas had no intention of chasing her away. He still welcomed her in, eager to hear why the late friend's daughter had bothered to come to his office."I-I have something to tell you, Sir."Andreas nodded. He raised his hand and gestured for Deasy to sit on the sofa in front of him."Just go ahead and tell me your purpose and intention for coming here. I don't have much time to listen to lengthy explanations."Deasy took a deep breath. She swallowed hard and tried to find the right words to convey to the man she had insulted and targeted for revenge just a few days ago.

"I'm also pregnant. Pregnant with Lucas' child. Next week, the two of us are even going to have a wedding. If you have time, don't forget to come."Upon hearing those words, throughout the journey, Deasy felt like cursing continuously. Honestly, she was furious to hear the news that Lucas would be having a wedding party in just a few days. Not with her. But with the woman who had intentionally approached and looked down on her earlier.Damn!If we rewind about four to five months, Deasy's life could be considered peaceful. Yes, despite feeling hurt because she had to face the fact that Daniel the Sneaky MagigCom was openly cheating, and even dumped her, at least Deasy's life was still within reasonable limits.It all started because of the luck-nut alcohol she had sipped at Daniel's wedding party. If only she hadn't met Lucas and been brought there by his subordinate, she might not have ended up having a one-night stand with a random person. Let

"Des, why are you spaced out? Thinking about the national debt or something? You've been quiet since I started talking."Veronica sounded a bit annoyed. After all, this weekend, she had deliberately invited Deasy to go shopping at the mall, just to stroll around, have some food, and look at baby supplies, so her friend wouldn't continue to feel stuck.Veronica understood.She understood very well what Deasy was going through and probably thinking about right now. Without needing an explanation, Veronica could sense the frustration, sadness, anxiety, and confusion that seemed to be mixed up inside Deasy.Moreover, anyone would react the same way. Just imagine, when you've just fallen in love again. You were about to weave a beautiful and happy life together.

"Lucas... how's it going? Does this white dress I'm wearing and chose look good?"Lucas crossed his arms and observed with great attention. The man then cast a scanning gaze from head to toe, carefully assessing Devina's appearance as she swayed in front of him.Currently, the two of them were in one of the renowned designer workshops for wedding dress fittings and all related matters. While Lucas remained comfortably seated, Devina, who had been busy from the beginning, was trying on various dresses presented to her.Lucas couldn't deny that Devina looked very beautiful. In almost every dress the woman tried on, it seemed to fit and suit her tall and graceful figure. Lucas was actually getting confused about which one to choose."I think the last one seems better than the ones before.""Yeah, I agree. I also prefer this one. It feels more comfortable and easy to move in. So, should we go with this one?"Lucas nodded repeatedly, agreeing wit

It's just that she felt really sad having to remember and accept the fact that her father was truly gone.Undoubtedly, compared to her mother, Deasy was closer and more familiar with her father.That's why, when her father had to depart suddenly, Deasy felt upset and lost.She thought her father was perfectly fine at the time. Why did he suddenly drop and then lose his life?After all, there were still many plans they had together that hadn't been realized. That's why Deasy truly felt sad."Pa, how are you?

Deasy fell silent for a moment. Once again, she took a deeper breath than before, as if releasing the burden that had been gnawing at her heart.Her hand didn't stop rubbing her father's tombstone repeatedly. Acting as if the person who had been gone for so long was right in front of her, listening to what she was saying."Deasy has committed a grave mistake, Pa. How can I redeem myself?""Just repent, Des. Confess your sins to God," Diana chimed in again. Then she averted her gaze, acting indifferent. Even though her daughter seemed annoyed because her words were constantly interrupted."Many staff members lost their livelihoods because of what Deasy did. I swear to God, I regret it. But... Papa, don't worry, I've apologized. I've confessed my sins to Mr. Andreas as well. I've apologized to him for my past actions, which were also Papa's.

His entire extended family was probably already gathered in the hotel's main ballroom, which he had chosen as the venue for this lavish event, celebrating this historic and sacred day in his life.Not only that, but even his father had been pacing in and out of the hotel room, double-checking Lucas's appearance and readiness. He was making sure with great seriousness that after this, he would be prepared to embark on a new life with his wife."Mr. Lucas," Felix addressed him, who had been in the room with Lucas, waiting. "How long do you plan to keep gazing at yourself, Mr. Lucas?

"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

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.

"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

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.
