Illegitimate child
Nathalie took her leave and walked straight to the room, she closed the door behind her and tried to calm her pounding heart. Nathalie knew her heart was beating for only one man, who was returning her love the same way.
‘Whoa! So, this feeling is absolutely true. Is this how people feel in love?’
She raked through her hair and walked towards the washroom, the woman opened the tap and splashed water on her face. Nathalie started to wear makeup to impress him, but later on she completely stopped after Lucas praised her bare face.
The lady stared in the mirror in front of her and felt heat around her cheeks. Nathalie could see visible blush on her cheeks, which reminded her of Lucas and his words back in the lounge. Nathalie never imagine to have kids with him, after all their relationship had just begun and kids were the last thing she would think of.
‘I hope he would not treat Khal any different if we happened to have kids together.’
Nathalie had no idea or assumption about anything in that regard, since Lucas had always behaved and acted opposite to what she had always imagined. The woman walked out of the washroom and plopped in the bed, Nathalie recalled the whole thing when she met Lucas back on day one.
‘How fateful that day was, I’m really glad that you were there Lucas.’
Her heart whispered and admitted the feelings, Nathalie closed her eyes and inhaled deeply. It was the moment when she rushed towards the bathroom again, Nathalie felt nauseous and threw up in the wash basin.
Meanwhile on the other hand Lucas got a call from Diego. He had finally found the guy who put up the camera in that room, where Nathalie and he were framed. Lucas although didn’t believe him at first but he didn’t have any choice either.
‘Guess I have to agree for this meet up now.’
Lucas walked towards the exit and told one of Nathalie’s driver to drop him at some junction and leave. Lucas had to maintain his facade thus he told Diego to pick him up from there. A car approached him soon and Lucas board, both men exchanged a glance and kept quiet.
After all they were nemesis and both of them were connected to one woman and one child. Lucas finally broke the ice after he inquired about Khal.
“So, what have you decided about the child?”
Diego was taken aback by his question and sudden bringing up Khal, when the current issue was more about Nathalie. But he smiled bitterly and stated the news to Lucas who was not expecting that kind of reply.
“I’m not planning to adopt him now. My wife does not want him, she is correct on her stance. And I respect it, But I can also understand her guilt and frustration for not being able to have kids.”
Lucas could feel helplessness and sadness in his tone, that he shifted his gaze towards outside instead of looking at him. Lucas knew how he had been feeling since they both were no more than two simps, who loved their women to bits.
“Why don’t you two try surrogacy?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucas suggested the idea which could be the solution for their problem. Diego looked up and stared at him with wide eyes.
“Why did I never think of it?”
Diego’s shocked voice made Lucas beat himself, he felt like smacking his head in some wall. The man was clearly annoyed upon Diego’s reaction.
“Because you need a brain to think.”
Lucas crushed his ego in one blow, whereas Diego was happy enough not to bother his bitterness and laughed wholeheartedly. He was grateful to Lucas for solving his problem in just the matter of minutes.
“I’m just glad that Viviane came home, though I still want to prove my innocence to her.”
Lucas felt relieved upon the situation because he didn’t want to see Diego as a threat to his married life. Diego on the other hand disclosed something to Lucas as an exchange favor.
“Oh by the way, Mrs Jones is a suspicious woman. She hates Nathalie and blames her for the death of his husband.”
Diego went to meet the old hag because he wanted to get some information about Khal from her. But she was unaware of his existence thus Diego refused to tell her that Lucas was behind her husband’s death.
“Mhm. I will take care of her.”
Lucas had already sent his men to keep an eye on every member of Lancaster family after the news about Khal was leaked. The man had a prior hunch that something bad was gonna happen. And he didn’t want to take the risk of losing Khal, because it would hurt his woman.
