Slowly she walks closer to him."What are you doing here? Why didn't you get inside the room? What time did you get home?" she asks what has been bothering her mind. But she got no reply even after she had taken a seat beside him. "Lucien..." she was suddenly bothered by how he looked. Heaving a sigh, she placed her hand on his knee, giving it a gentle squeeze. She stares at his loosened tie and disheveled hair. He looks dejected almost defeated, which is troubling her."I've been waiting for you since afternoon. I got out of work earlier. I played with Lucy around the pool, I bathe him and we ate dinner together. I put him to sleep and read him his favorite story" she recounted what she did earlier. She waited for his reply but after a while of silence, she got none. "I also tried to call. Lucy wanted to say goodnight to you...but your phone was quite busy" she added and waited again. W

She was just there beside me, but it doesn't bother me whether she was around or not. And I fear I will do the same with you" he added, sounding so conflicted."I was desperate to find an answer to my dilemma and I don't want to use you as I did to Ellen. You are...you are precious to me Zia. The first time I felt this kind of protectiveness but I was frightened of myself""These were all new to me. Everything in my life was easily offered, I can easily get anything I want...but for the first time...you gave me a difficult plight. A battle against myself""You were there for an easy take...but I don't want to just take you...I don't deserve you.

Turning towards the door, a familiar figure enters."Hello, Miss Montes""Hello, Mr. Simon" Lexie replies with the greetings of the all-smile Gabriel Simon."What sorcery have you done to make yourself this small CEO Lucien Wright" he turns to the boy on the couch who is gaping up at him."Mama, is he a silly man?" Lucy whispers to his mother after he averted his gaze away from the visitor."No, baby. He is papa's friend" softly, she assures the boy who looks afraid of the man."Hello there young CEO Lucien" Gab continues with his playfulness despite hearing what the boy called him."I am not my papa.

The rumor continues to float around but Lucien or any Wright ignores it like it doesn't exist. It has receded by the inattention of anyone from the family. The cold shoulder added to Ellen's resentment.Lucien did not bother to take down the document. He left everything unanswered and unverified. He left the decision to the public to believe it or not.With all his hectic schedule, he has no time to be bothered by insignificant matters, more so Lexie.She has become busy with the preparation of her brand and the design she will be launching.

His men reported Ellen's flight together with her parents and it's doesn't look like a short vacation."It would help her to leave for a moment," she said to him."Yes, it will do her good. I wonder what made her decide. She was a brat and spoiled to be convinced by her parents" he mumbles."Miss Ellen is a smart woman. She might have some realizations to make her life better" she smiles while snuggling close to him with closed eyes."I hope so" he mutters with a shrug.They just finished making love and they are ready to sleep while having a casual conversation.

Jason called.Turning to Jason, she turns to look at him and she narrow's her eyes upon seeing Jason's grim expression."What is it Jason?" she asks. She could sense everyone's hostility towards her."Someone lost a ring" Jason seriously stated.Earnestly listening and looking at him, she mulls with something."Oh...I found a ring in the powder room during lunch... it's here in my kit..." she immediately checks the bag and looks for it."This?"

Determining the gender of their fourth baby is an intimate event for Lexie and Lucien. Like her two previous pregnancies, they never did a gender reveal party. They both prefer it to be just between the family."Mama, I'm excited to know our baby" Xander whispers in his mother's ear while seated near her head. Lexie is already lying to undergo an ultrasound. "Yes, baby love. We will meet our new baby later" Lexie whispers and peck a kiss on her youngest's forehead. "I'm still a baby?" Xander softly asks. Insecurity reflects on his face. "Of course, my love. Lucy, Alek, and Xander will always be Mama and papa's babies. We will just have another baby love but we love you all equally" Lexie was surprised.

After the conference at the principal's office, all parties departed with an amicable settlement. Alek was somehow pacified by the assurance from the parents of the three boys. But not before he made another warning."You three must tell everyone around here that I won't be tolerant of any provocation. You all heed my warning or I will deal with all of you myself" Alek's last words to the boys who fearfully nod at him. He even coldly glares at them before turning away to join their parents who are still in conversation with the other parents and the principal."Lucy and Alek beat those boys?" Lucien asks the head security of his sons after he stayed outside to give his instructions. The boys were already with their mother inside the vehicle."Yes, boss. The food tray did the trick. The school might reconsider using those food trays and might regard them as deadly for the children" Allen proudly and amusingly relayed to Lucien.
