Lucas relayed to her the contents of his conversation with Isabella.

After speaking, he turned around when he noticed Elena struggling with the delicate strings of her dress.

Without a word, Lucas stepped forward.

His warm fingers brushed against her skin as he held the strings and carefully tied them.

When he finished, he leaned in and pressed a quick, soft kiss against her back.

He then turned her to face him. “Come with me to the main house.”

“Alright.”

At the Evans Estate.

The entire family had gathered in the living room after receiving Lucas’ call.

The tension in the room thickened.

With his arms crossed, Miles gave Lucas a sharp look. “What’s going on, Lucas? Why the hell do we need doctors on standby?”

Lucas’ gaze settled on his grandparents.

“I need you both to stay calm,” he said carefully. “What I’m about to tell

  • Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother   Pregnant

    “Brother,” Mike called out to him.Silence.Lucas’ fingers stilled on his phone screen.Lucas didn’t acknowledge him.Didn’t look up.Didn’t even pretend to entertain the thought.Growing up, the word “brother” was nothing but a mockery to him.Uttered by Andrew with contempt and jealousy, a reminder of betrayal and the family that turned their backs on him.Now, hearing Mike call him that, Lucas couldn’t help but feel suffocated.Mike sensed the sudden change in Lucas’ aura and instinctively shrank back.“I don’t have a brother,” Lucas said flatly before turning back to his phone.The temperature in the room dropped.Mike’s forced smile faltered.He clenched his fists but quickly relaxed them, reminding himself of his father’s warning to behave.He wasn’t used to being ignored, let alone hum

  • Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother   A Mother & a CEO

    Helen’s smile faltered. “Why not? The manor has everything you need. Doctors, caretakers, anything you can possibly want.”Elena exchanged a glance with Lucas before responding, “I appreciate it, really. But I want to stay at Serenity Mansion. It’s our home.”Lucas, who stood beside Elena, gently wrapped his arm around her waist. “Don’t worry, Grandma, we’ll be fine.”His tone was firm, leaving no room for argument.Helen sighed. “At least let me send a few caretakers over.”Harold, who had been listening quietly, patted Helen’s shoulder. “Let the young ones decide, Helen. They’re starting their own family now.”Reluctantly, Helen sighed. “Fine. But promise me, you’ll visit often. And if you feel unwell, come straight home.”Besides, Serenity Mansion wasn’t far from the Evans estate.They could visit any time,

    There was a deafening crash as the tires screeched against the asphalt.Lucas moved with lightning speed and pushed himself forward.He threw his arms around Elena, his entire body shielding hers.Elena gasped, clutching onto him as the car lurched again.“Knox,” Lucas called out, his voice tight with warning.Knox’s grip on the wheel tightened. “It looks like the car behind us is trying to knock us off the road!”“Lose them.” He ordered.Elena’s fingers dug into Lucas’s sleeve. “Lucas… what’s going on?”Lucas lowered his gaze and gently stroked her hair. “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”He then raised his head and looked into the mirror as he said in a chilling tone. “And Knox, If Elena so much as loses a single strand of hair, I’ll have your head.”Large beads of sweat immediately formed on Knox&r

    No one knew Lucas better than Harold.When it came to chasing his goals, Lucas had no bottom line.That was exactly why he needed him to stay rational.“I will be careful,” Lucas said, his tone steady and firm.Harold didn’t look convinced, but he didn’t argue.Instead, he poured himself a drink, the clink of ice against glass breaking the silence.“Good. Because if anything happens to Elena or the baby, it won’t just be the Walkers you’ll have to answer to.”Leaving the mansion, Lucas picked up Elena on the way back to Serenity Mansion.The drive was quiet, and Elena sat beside him, unaware of the storm brewing in the shadows.And he intended to keep it that way.She didn’t need that kind of worry gnawing at her, not now.Her only concern should be taking care of herself, staying safe, and bringing their child into the world without fear.He woul

  • Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother   The Betrayal

    "Mrs. Elliot, Sir is currently in a meeting and cannot take calls," said the secretary in a chilly voice.Before Elena could respond, the person on the other end hung up.Elena stared at her phone's blank screen and felt a sharp, throbbing pain run through her body.Important meeting - two words that shattered the thin veil of hope she had left.The cold evening air bit at her cheeks and tears welled in her eyes.When Andrew informed her earlier that he was running late for the dinner, Elena did not take it to heart.Andrew's work always took precedence.During their five years of relationship, she had always been accommodating and never been an unreasonable person.But tonight was their anniversary, and she hoped that for once, he would put their love before his demanding career.But alas...Elena stubbornly waited for him even though she knew he wouldn't show up.Because part of her still hoped he would not abandon her.The minutes seemed to last forever.Three hours had passed with

  • Return of the Heiress: I married my ex-husband's brother   Not a big deal

    The room spun, and Elena stumbled backward, landing unceremoniously on the couch.Amidst the charged atmosphere behind the door, Elena struggled to stand up. Her legs felt unsteady as she moved towards the bedroom exit.No. No, no.Andrew would never do this to her. He would never.He loved her so much.He would never…She still believed that the person inside was not him.That’s right, he must be someone who had a similar voice.Besides, Chloe never liked Andrew to begin with, so why would she…Yes, she must be overthinking because of her disappointment earlier.Elena’s hand quivered as she reached for the doorknob.However, just as she was about to turn the handle, she stopped.She did not dare enter the room and confront the two people inside.The thought of confronting her husband's adultery and her best friend's betrayal was excruciating, and it was too much for her to bear.In fact, Elena had never felt so terrified before.Even when she had broken ties with her family, even whe

    Chloe wanted to force Elena into a corner.However, if the latter was disobedient, then she didn’t mind using a crooked approach.Hearing Chloe’s words, Andrew’s eyes lit up.Initially, he had been racking his brains, thinking about how to clean up the mess, but Chloe’s suggestion enlightened him.That’s right. As long as Elena turned a blind eye to his affairs, everything would be fine!Sure enough, hooking up with Chloe was the best decision. She always prioritized him first and never caused him any inconvenience.“Serve him together? Are you trying to disgust me to death?” Elena was so repulsed by her words she wanted to throw up. “I never knew you could stoop so low. What makes you think that after everything, I’d still want this trash?”Elena’s words stung Andrew, and he immediately leaped to his defense. “Who do you think you’re calling trash?”“Still asking?” Elena glared at him fiercely.“Andrew, please, calm down,” Chloe urged, her voice laced with concern. “Elena is angry ri

    “It’s just that… my heart is fluttering.”The darkness in the man’s eyes disappeared, and the corner of his lips curled up.His tall figure leaned closer to the counter and stopped when there was only an inch’s space between them.“Does your heart flutter after seeing me?” The man deliberately lowered his voice.The last syllable he said was seductive, as if it could move the wind by her ear.Elena nodded her head subconsciously.The man was pleased by her response and reached out his hand.Elena’s breath hitched as the man brushed his warm fingertips across her hair, removing a small piece of confetti that had gotten stuck.Ba-dump!At that moment, Elena’s heart started to pound violently against her chest.Currently, the two of them were very close, and Elena could smell a faint scent of agarwood on him.It made one feel calm and refreshing.The man lowered his eyelashes and noticed the woman still holding her breath.Her face was soft, and her lips were full and red, enticing him t

    Elena stepped forward, pointing a finger at her. “Lucas didn’t owe you anything. Not his forgiveness, not his love, and certainly not his mercy. And yet, despite everything, he was the one who took action for you. He was the one who made the Elliots pay for what they did. And you’re upset because of Richard?” She scoffed, shaking her head in disgust. “The same Richard who made your life a living hell? The same man who pushed you to the edge?”Isabella flinched at Elena’s words, her face paling.Elena stared Isabella down, her fury radiating off her in waves.“Did your conscience never prick you, not even once? Did you ever stop and wonder what kind of life Lucas had to live after you left?”Elena’s hands curled into fists. “You knew what kind of people the Elliots were. And yet, you still left him behind, your own child! What kind of mother does that?”“You say you didn&r

    The question hung in the air.Isabella froze.She hesitated before replying. “T-Three years after Billy rescued me.”Lucas stared at her, unmoving.Then his lips curled into a mocking smirk.“Eighteen years,” he repeated slowly. “You remembered everything for eighteen years… and yet, you never came back?”Isabella’s face turned pale.Her hands trembled as she tried to explain, “Lucas… I—”“Why?” Lucas cut her off, his voice rising with suppressed anger. “Why did you let me suffer alone? Why did you let me believe you were dead?”Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes. “I… I was afraid. I didn’t know how to face you… or my family. I thought you’d hate me.”Lucas let out a bitter laugh, his heart aching with years of suppressed pain.“Hate you? I spent my entire childhood longing for you.

    “Lucas!” she called out and chased after him.However, Lucas did not stop.It was as if his entire focus was locked onto the fleeting image of that person from before.In his hurry, he didn’t even notice the stretcher being wheeled in his path until a slender arm forcefully grabbed him and pulled him behind.Elena’s heart pounded against her chest as she held him tightly.“Lucas… what’s wrong?”Lucas finally snapped back to his senses.His breathin

    Upon arrival, before heading to their own home, they made their way to the Evans estate to meet the elders.At the end of the dinner, the head chef stepped forward. “Young Madam personally prepared this special dessert for the family. Please enjoy.”The maids placed small plates in front of each person.A delicate chocolate soufflé sat in the center, garnished with fresh berries and a light dusting of powdered sugar.Everyone turned to Elena in surprise.“Elena, dear, you shouldn’t tire yourself with these trivial things. You’re the lady of the house now. Leave these tasks to the chefs,” Jane said with a kind yet slightly disapproving tone.Elena, however, smiled warmly. “I actually enjoy cooking,” she replied. “And since this is my first dinner at my in-laws’ home, I wanted to make something for the family with my own hands.”Her words, spoken with sincerity, softened Jane&rs
