Lucas POV

The day started bright and sunny when I opened my eyes to the realization that I was lying in bed, flanked on each side by my two favorite girls.

I smiled when I remembered my argument with our daughter last night.

After we got inside our hotel room, Erin was surprisingly awake and excitedly wanted to be put down. When her feet landed on the carpeted floor, she began to explore every corner of the room.

She was like a ball of energy, unlike earlier when drowsiness had overtaken her completely.

Erin dashed from one corner of the room to the other until the view outside caught her attention. She stood in front of the half-silvered glass windows, mouth agape as she stared at the city lights from neighboring high-rise buildings and other establishments below that formed the nighttime cityscape.

“It’s like the view in our apartment!” She exclaimed in undisguised awe.

Katherine persuaded her to sit down on the bed, but she was so hyper.

I stood next to her, allowing myself t

    Lucas POVI watched Oliver slouching on my office couch. His legs dangled on the couch’s armrest while his head was on the opposite armrest.In his stomach was his half-eaten sandwich. “Oliver, you are not listening.” I frustratedly called out his name when I thought that he was already sleeping. I nearly marched up to him to pull him up and throw him out of my office, but I couldn’t do that. I needed to talk to someone. Since this morning, when she learned that we were leaving for Disney after Erin’s school ended, she was not too happy with me. When we left the hotel and up until the ride to Erin’s school, she acted okay, but when Erin disappeared into her building, that’s when the cold treatment started. “Are you mad at me?” I asked when we stopped at a red light.I can’t stand her silence anymore. Katherine snorted. “What do you think?” She asked frostily. I sighed when the traffic light turned green, and I had to concentrate on driving, but from time to time, I would steal

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 186. Pregnant With Our Child

    Lucas POVThe merriment continued. My friends were having a good time. I watched Duke when he borrowed the microphone from the head singer before talking to the band to play his favorite rock song. Then, the four of them sang and jammed to the delight of my PR crew. Duke relished in the response he got, and he requested another song to be played. “Stop! You are taking the singer’s job!” Jacob commented. Duke snorted, and the microphone picked it up.“You are just jealous because you don’t know anything about singing.” Duke’s retort and the way he made a jab at Jacob’s atrocious singing turned all of us laughing our hearts out. Tears pooled in Katherine’s eyes, which made Erin worry.“Mommy, why are you crying? Does it hurt anymore?” She asked. Concern and alarm mingled in Erin's eyes. A distinct feeling of tenderness assailed me, seeing how our daughter reacted when she thought her mom was hurting. Their mother-and-daughter bond was amazing to watch. Erin jumped from my l

  • Goodbye Jerk, Hello Mr. Perfect?   Chapter 185. Pure Joy To My Heart

    Lucas POVThe remaining part of the interview was such a huge success that I decided to celebrate with the whole team after we wrapped up.We went to the Smith Hotel for the celebration. Coincidentally, my friends were also there. I invited them, too. The tables were filled with good food and wine. There was a smile on everyone’s faces.Erin sat on the table with us, looking prim and proper like her mother. The impish child earlier was a mere fraction of the refined girl she was now, dressed in a pink princess dress. She looked at us, mimicking the way her mother and I interacted with our guests. Then, her eyes lit up when she saw her third favorite person on the planet. “Uncle Ollie!” The refined act was abandoned, replaced by an excited child who pushed herself up to her seat and raised her arms to give her Uncle Oliver a hug. Oliver’s eyes lit up when he saw. He bent down to scoop her up in his arms and whirled her around.Erin’s giggles shattered the chatter mingled with t

    Lucas POV I watched Katherine when she invited the crew to a buffet-style lunch that she prepared all morning. She was in the outdoor kitchen preparing and cooking while the crew filmed her. At first, I thought she would not be comfortable in the area, but surprisingly, Katherine moved effortlessly and did most of the cooking, which amazed me. Initially, she had no idea how many people were coming in. Despite that, she was able to rustle-up a good meal plan in a short period of time and started working. Of course, she had help, but the recipe was all hers.I wondered how she learned all this.Katherine must have sensed my confusion, and was quick to explain. “Greg’s mom used to visit with a bevy of friends. Sometimes, they get to party in our large pool area.”It was just an offhand remark, but it made me resent Greg’s mother for making the last five years hard for Katherine. She may not say it, but I could guess how Greg’s mother treated her and my daughter in the past. I wonde

    Katherine POVI stared at him in disbelief, unable to process what he meant.“Lucas..” I called out his name in my confusion. He looked away, unable to meet my gaze. “What do you mean?” To me, Lucas is the epitome of invincibility. He was the perfect man, husband, and father. In my eyes, he can never do wrong. Well, if we won’t count how he treated me earlier in our relationship. He was a full-pledged a*sh*le at that time, but I get it.I understand perfectly. He was only acting that way because Lucas was hurting. He thought I betrayed him. “Shall we go in?” Lucas broke the mood between us. His head turned to the house, but I was not sure what he was looking at.“Our daughter must be awake and might be looking for us.”“Not so fast.” I tried to use the same words he used earlier when I was having cold feet about the interview. Lucas frowned, but he stopped when he heard me. “What?” “You can’t just say cryptic words and not explain,” I told him. He looked evasive and I can
