Pregnant After The Contract Ended Chapter 211
Lucas stood still at the airport.People walked past him with their suitcases.Some were laughing.Some were talking on their phones.But Lucas heard none of it.His eyes stayed on the message."Stay away from Naomi and the boy... or next time, you won't find them."His heart began to beat faster.He read the message again.Then a third time.It came from an unknown number.There was no name.No picture.Nothing.Lucas quickly called the number."The number you have dialed is switched off."He frowned.He tried again.The same answer.The phone was already off.Who sent it?How did they know he was in London?How did they know about Naomi and Leo?His mind filled with questions.For one moment, he almost turned around.He wanted to leave the airport.He wanted to go straight back to Naomi's apartment.He wanted to make sure she and Leo were safe.His feet refused to move.Then he remembered the company.If he stayed in London now, Victor would use the company to force him back later.

Lucas stayed on the balcony for another minute.He looked up at the clear London sky.Just a few hours ago, he had been laughing with Leo.Now work had found him again.He took a deep breath."Where are you?" he asked his assistant."I'm at a hotel near your apartment.""I have all the documents with me."Lucas nodded."I'll come and meet you.""Thank you, Mr. Ashford."The call ended.Lucas did not move.He stood there quietly.He wished he could forget about business for a little longer.But he knew he could not.The Ashford Group was not just a company.Thousands of people worked there.Thousands of families depended on it.If the merger failed, many innocent people could suffer.Lucas closed his eyes."I have to do the right thing.He walked back into the apartment.Leo was sitting on the floor with Captain, the little wooden horse.He looked up and smiled."Batman!"Lucas smiled back."What are you two doing?""We're climbing a mountain."Lucas laughed."Captain is very brave.""

Inside the Ashford mansion, only one light was still on.Victor Ashford stood beside the large window in his study.His hands were behind his back.His face was dark.The photographs were still lying on his desk.Lucas laughing with Naomi.Lucas carrying Leo on his shoulders.The four of them eating together.Every picture made Victor angrier.He picked up one photo.It showed Lucas smiling.Victor frowned."I haven't seen him smile like this in years."He threw the photo back onto the desk."This woman is ruining everything."A few seconds later, someone knocked on the door."Come in."The family lawyer entered.Behind him came two senior board members.They all looked worried.Victor sat down."Tell me."The lawyer opened a file."The Harrison Group called again."Victor's face became serious."What did they say?""They want to speak with Mr. Lucas Ashford before signing the merger."Victor hit the table lightly."I already spoke with them.""They said only Lucas can make the final

The apartment felt warm the moment everyone walked inside.Leo ran ahead, still holding the little wooden horse."Captain, this is our home," he said to the toy.Lucas smiled."He has a big imagination."Naomi laughed softly."He talks to his toys every day.""I heard that!" Leo shouted from the living room.Everyone laughed.The tension in the room became a little lighter.Martha walked into the kitchen."I'll make some hot chocolate.""I'll help," Naomi said.Lucas stood up too."I'll help."Martha smiled."No.""You've helped enough today.""You sit."Lucas laughed."I keep getting chased out of the kitchen.""You do," Naomi said with a smile."It suits you."Lucas pretended to sigh."I've lost my position.""You never had one," Martha teased.The three of them laughed.Meanwhile, Leo climbed onto the sofa beside Evelyn.He looked at the wooden horse again."I like him.""I'm happy you do," Evelyn said gently."Did you buy him today?"Evelyn smiled."No.""I chose him yesterday.""

Lucas stared across the street.His heart skipped a beat."Mother..."Naomi slowly turned.The woman standing beside the black car looked different from the Evelyn she remembered.She was still elegant.Still well dressed.But her shoulders looked lower.Her face looked tired.There were small lines around her eyes that had not been there five years ago.She was holding a small gift bag in one hand.The other hand was shaking slightly.For a few seconds, nobody moved.Finally, Evelyn took one slow step forward.Then another.She stopped a few feet away from Lucas and Naomi.Her eyes rested on Naomi.They quickly became wet."Naomi..."Naomi did not answer immediately.She simply looked at the woman who had changed the course of her life.There was no anger in her eyes.Only caution.Evelyn lowered her head."I know I have no right to come here without asking."Lucas sighed softly."Mother..."Evelyn raised a hand."Please.""Let me speak first."Lucas nodded.He stayed quiet.Evelyn l

Lucas slowly opened his eyes.For a long moment, he did not speak.The words Naomi had just said stayed in his heart."I never hated you."He had waited five years to hear those words.Five long years.He let out a small breath and smiled."Thank you."Naomi looked at him."For what?""For telling me the truth."She nodded gently."I think... we both deserve the truth now."Lucas agreed."No more lies.""No more secrets.""No more people speaking for us."Naomi looked at the small lake in front of them.The water was calm."I wanted to tell you everything."Lucas turned to her."When?""The day I left."She smiled sadly."But your mother came before I could."Lucas lowered his head."I know.""I found out later."Naomi sighed."That day...""I was scared.""I wasn't thinking about myself anymore."Lucas knew exactly what she meant."You were thinking about Leo."She nodded."I had another life to protect."Lucas smiled softly."And you protected him well."Naomi looked surprised."You
