I carefully controlled my facial expressions, afraid he might see through something.
But his first words made me break down.
He said: “Ava, I’m sorry, I only recently realized how much I’ve hurt you by being with other people. I won’t do that anymore…”
“I’ve checked out of the hotel I was staying at, I’m moving in with you. We’ll have another child soon.”

The position of fiancée, all of Lucas’s favors towards me, were exchanged with that child’s life.
Back then, Lucas actively pursued me, and I played hard to get for three months to hook him.
Lucas thought someone like me must have already been experienced.
But I was a virgin.
I whimpered like a hurt puppy beneath him, in pain.
Lucas panicked, very panicked.
He was extremely gentle with me, whispering many sweet words in my ear.
I knew those were just words to enhance the mood, but I still cried.
Afterwards, Lucas quietly got out of bed.
I thought he was going to leave.
Lucas turned on the bathroom light. He didn’t act like a rich kid at all, carefully using disposable soap to wash my underwear.
After washing, he turned on the smallest setting of the fan, covering

the noise with his palm, patiently helping me dry them bit by bit.
Noah would never do something like this for me in eight lifetimes.
The next day at 8 AM, Lucas held my hand as we crossed the street, the pharmacy was on the other side.
I swallowed the pill decisively.
Lucas’s gaze shifted, and he handed me a bank card.
“I don’t want to settle things with you, I want you to owe me, so you’ll remember me a little longer…”
I stuffed the card back into his pocket, my eyes red as I got into a taxi.
In the rearview mirror, Lucas stood stunned, suddenly starting to chase the car…
I didn’t tell the driver to stop, calmly spitting out the pill I had hidden behind my teeth.
I blocked all of Lucas’s contacts.
We met again by chance three months later, at the hospital.
My lips were pale, like a broken and withered gardenia.
I sat on a plastic chair, Lucas crouched in front of me.
He reproached me for not reaching out to him for such a big matter.
There was restraint and stubbornness on my face.
“You’re still young, I couldn’t trouble you…”
Tears welled up in Lucas’s eyes.
“But that was our baby, maybe I would have wanted to keep it? You gave me your first time, and now you’ve lost our first child for me, aren’t you
unlucky Ava

Sorry, the child’s death was more valuable to me.
I had checked, Lucas was also that child who was almost aborted years ago.
Me and the dead child in my womb were the first things in this world that completely belonged to Lucas.
He might not love me, but guilt would make him protect me forever.
I was eventually settled in Lucas’s villa to recover, and he took my pregnancy test report and abortion papers.
He said: “I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”
A week later, William, in a straight–lined smoke–gray coat, elegantly and nobly sat down on the first–floor sofa.
He looked down on me from above, his gaze contemptuous, but didn’t make things difficult for me.
He only focused on asking about one thing, because it would affect the Lucas family’s reputation.
“The scandal with Jack?”
I squeezed my palm, it was covered in sweat.

“He tried to take advantage of me, I resisted fiercely, but a colleague caught us and made a big deal out of it. He and his wife did damage control to clear their names, and I was powerless, so I could only suffer in silence.”
William spoke impartially: “Whether you’re innocent or not, I’ll investigate thoroughly.”
Not long after, all the negative news about me was completely erased.
Jack was exposed for sexual misconduct by several female subordinates who joined forces.
The news of the second young master Lucas’s engagement followed closely behind.
