LUCAS POVI couldn't get rid of my playful smile while walking into the building. A while ago when I called Luke's nanny, she said they were at the school supplies and were going to buy something for a while. I just want to surprise Adeline that is why I choose to come here. It was not part of my plan. I've not been a showy person ever since especially in a public place, but now I thought of doing this for her. I feel like there is a dominant force pushing me to do this sweet stuff which is why I am here today.“I hope she likes what I bought...” I mumbled as I sniffed the scent of her favorite flowers.I couldn't help to feel nervous right now as I approached their side. Now, both of my hands are already behind my back to hide the bouquet. “I am sure Adeline will appreciate it as she was not hard to please anymore,” I added.My paces halt for a moment as I enter the entrance where they are. From where I was, I could see Luke and Adeline. She was carrying our son, but that was not wh

Chapter 141

I stared at her in shock. It's not Adeline. She is not my wife. I believe she is a different person.“Why don't you want to be here?” Adeline tone of voice was high-pitched, it made Luke cry even louder. “Hey? Why are you crying?!”Hey? When did she start calling Luke hey?Luke tried to remove Adeline's hold on him while still crying loudly. I remained silent. Observing.“Madam!” Luke's nanny was in horror at her action, she was also shocked like me. “Please let him go and allow him to sit next to me. He looks sleepy that is why maybe he was a bit moody.” she forced herself to give a raw smile.“So what's the matter if he was sleepy? He can just be here and sleep with—”“Adeline!” I cut her sentence in a weak tone but full of authority, I saw how her eyes rolled.“Fine. Alright Luke, sit with Emily if that's what you want. I am sorry. Will you stop crying now?” she tried to wipe his tears but Luke pushed her hand harshly, making Adeline more irritated. When we arrived at the mansion

Chapter 142

Full of remorse and anger, I hardly pushed away her hand that was holding my face. I didn't like it. I couldn't paint the look on my face as I rushed out of our room. Both my shoulders continued to rise and fall due to the weight of my breathing. I even messed up my hair violently as if I was going insane. I just kept walking out until my feet took me inside my dark office. My mind is still confused. I don't know what to do. I need to drink alcohol to calm down myself. With that thought, I called the intercom directly to the kitchen to ask the maid to send a bottle of liquor to the office.“Just a moment, Mayor Romanov.” replied the maid whose already in panic in her voice.I didn't wait long. After a while, the maid came and knocked on the door thrice with a tray of what I ordered. After she left the office, I didn't bother to use glasses. I drank from the bottle. I was out of breath when I put it back on the center table. I thought back to what Adeline said earlier.What? They will

Chapter 143

Hurriedly, I slammed the door shut. I just got frustrated. I shouldn't be like this. That woman is a different person. I must love my real wife because we swore in front of everyone that we would live happily together in this lifetime. I don't even know how my heartbeat changed. How I'd learn to love others even though she has my real wife's face. Now that everything is clear to me and learned that she's a different person, I still want to be with her. I would still prefer her side compared to my wife.I was awake the whole night despite that I was a bit tipsy and my body and mind were exhausted. I continue to look for the solutions to my problem even if it seems that I don't have one. I just making it in my mind. I was awake planning the right thing to do. As the sun rises in the sky and dawn begins to shatter, I immediately deploy my men to the hospitals.“Mayor Romanov, did we hear it correctly? Do you want us to find the patient who looks exactly like Madam Adeline?”I called them

Chapter 144

“Mayor Romanov, we took Madam Adeline to the hospital right now. She collapsed a while ago after suddenly having trouble breathing—”I didn't let Luke's nanny finish the statement. I hurried to get inside my car. I didn't even call the driver. I drove myself to the hospital. Even if I treat her coldly as my wife, she is still a burden on my conscience and I must take care.“What happened to her?”“Suddenly her chest tightened and stopped breathing until she lost consciousness.”I pulled back the curtain in the emergency room where she was. There is oxygen attached to her nose. Her color was pale as white blank paper. Currently, still unconscious but not comatose.“Mayor Romanov, you're already here. Just wait a moment and I'll call the doctor to talk to you.” the nurse who saw me coming stated.I tried to be calm. It's not like the last time I went to the hospital to see her in worst.“We ran some lab tests on your wife Mayor Romanov, we also took an x-ray. Soon we will know the resul

Chapter 145

I know soon Adeline will know everything because it was her body, but right now I don't want to tell her about it. I want her to have a glimpse of hope that soon she will be alright. Adeline might become even weaker when she finds out everything. It's also impossible for me to bring Luke close to her right now, especially since her illness is her lungs. Our son might get infected if I do that. But I'll give her a day so she can be with our son. I don't want her to think that she is a burden to everyone.“Thank you, Lucas, as you have forgiven me...”The next day, I sent Luke over but because he had a phobia of her presence, he didn't want to come near her. He just hides behind his nanny.“Luke? Come close to Mommy. You will see, next time the child is not allowed to come here. You will not be able to visit her again. You like that?”No matter how hard I tried, he only just shook his head. It was the opposite when Adeline had an accident. Luke doesn't want to leave the room.“Come here

Chapter 146

ANNIKA POV“How was your vacation with Iris, Madam? Did you two enjoy it?” Sol, one of the staff, asked me an opening question as I made my way inside.“Hmmm, yes. As usual. Look at my skin. I'll become tan. We are soaked in the sun almost the whole day. She didn't even want to get out of the water. I don't know if she has a breed of fish.” I replied with a tone of a joke.She laughed loudly at my response. I received the important documents I requested yesterday from her as she handed to me.“It's a good thing, Madam. It is good for mental health to sometimes relieve stress by going on vacation. You're always just dealing with stress here, anyway. Good thing that you were able to have a good time with Iris.”“You're right, we always need that in life.”I glanced at Iris who was now standing near the door of the shop with a small smile on her face. Some strands of her hair spread over her face. Seeing her face now relaxed and not frowning was new to me. She doesn't seem to be the Ir

Chapter 147

She always reminded me of Luke. At the age of five, she was very mature in thinking and speaking. Sometimes I think they are twins when they are the same age. She is the female version of her older brother. I pulled a profound sigh. How is that boy doing now?“You can start to eat now, Iris,” I replied while gesturing my hands. “I'm sorry baby. I'm just a little out of my mind. Just ignore me. Go ahead. Eat and after that, you must go home and take a bath. I told you not to come with me earlier.”Her mouth twitched before she started eating. Her eyes never leave my face. It was obvious that she wanted to say something more, but I took a bite of my food so she couldn't continue. Yes, she was the result of Lucas project to Luke a sibling. It's just that he didn't know about her. I always imagined while I was pregnant what reaction Lucas could give when he learned that we had a child. Does he know that Adeline and I have switched? Does he know me? Maybe not. Adeline had no reason to me

LUCAS POV“Luke, are you sure that in that distant place where you want to buy flowers for your Mom?”He nods. So sure of what he wants to happen. “That's far, son. How many hours will it take to get there? Of course, we don't know. We will probably get tired on the way. It's not easy to drive on a long way.” “We can bring the family driver, Dad.”Oh, damn! He is a genius for being sarcastic. I didn't pay attention to what he replied.“You know what, we can also buy a bouquet nearby for your Mom not only at that flower shop.” I decided after a quite long pause, I knew something was not right. Is he cooking something behind my back? “Tell me the truth. What are you up to these days? I know you have a reason to go to that place, Luke.”“Dad, please? I'll prove that our time to go there is worth it. Look at this? Their flowers are fresh and beautiful. Don't you want it for Mommy? Mom in heaven will be happy when she sees the beautiful flowers we will bring to her tomb. She might thin

Chapter 149

Almost six months had passed after Adeline died when I checked the identification card of the person she said she had pretended to be her. I don't know why it came to that long extent. Maybe because my body is also mourning the loss of my wife even though our relationship is not that good. When my eyes first darted at her picture, I couldn't understand why my heart was throbbing so fast. Her face is simple and common, yet it is attractive. I didn't waste any time. I instantly went to the address indicated on the card. I risked my life to find her but I was not lucky enough. Maybe that day was not the day for me as I was immediately unhappy by what I found out about her family.“We've been looking for her for a long time too,” the old woman replied, I guess it's her mother.“Didn't she ever come here?” I raised a question again as if I did not hear what she said earlier.“No, never even once. We don't know where she is right now. No one knows. We are extremely worried too. We knew her
