Semua Bab Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife : Bab 401 - Bab 410

One moment, Lucas was standing at the entrance, under the umbrella,And the next moment, he was out in the rain striding towards the large gates. As if sensing his presence, she looked away from the Old Man and faced him, a complicated look flashing in her eyes. “Lucas-”“Heidi, you're here.” Disregarding everyone else and all the watchful gazes, Lucas wanted to hug her, but a deep voice halted him-“Don't even think about it!”He looked at the Old Man, now recognizing him as Heidi's grandfather. Lucas collected himself. “My apologies, Grandpa…” He apologized and then greeted the Old Man and Heidi's parents. The couple answered him in a not so enthusiastic voice. Her father looked mad, in fact.And the man's anger must be directed towards Lucas because he looked as if he'd been forced to come.Lucas escorted them towards the large canopy, snatching Heidi's umbrella from the bodyguard walking beside her and holding it for her instead.“I almost lost hope you'd come,” He held her ha

The same look of confusion on her parents' faces as they left the ward was cascaded over Lucas's face as well.Thank goodness they didn't refuse her request or ask her questions because Heidi couldn't provide any answers. She didn't know what she was doing. “What's it that you want to speak about, Heidi…” Lucas sat beside her, his confusion replaced by the joy that glinted in his eyes. “I'm listening.”Heidi looked down, searching inside her heart for the anger and hate she'd been feeling for the past few days. Why was it that she couldn't feel any of them?What was with the slight feeling of remorse and heartache?She dared to stare into his eyes and she regretted it instantly. Heidi averted her gaze from his once more. “Time is running…” Lucas urged her on. “One minute will be up soon.”And once the minute was over, her parents might come barging in to send him out. “Did you give the speech?”Lucas nodded, his eyes filled with regret. “I shouldn't have asked you to do it. I'm so

A deafening silence descended upon the living room instantly, everyone quieted down at once, a look of shock and horror registered on their faces. Heidi's eyes snapped to the guy, and seeing the seriousness in his eyes, her heart sank.“Son-in-law, what did you just say?” Beatrice snapped out of the shock faster than the others. She chuckled, her smile a mix of nervousness and uncertainty. “You don't mean it…”Killian let out a frustrated air. “I mean what I said, okay? I'm not doing this marriage anymore.”Blood drained from Lilian's face as well as the other family members. “Honey-”“That's enough…” Killian raised his hand, halting her words. “People marry to find happiness, right? I can't set myself up for hell when it's not even my time yet.”“You're joking.”“Call it what you may…” Killian shrugged. “But Lilian, this is the end of our marriage.”Hearing his last words broke Heidi out of her reverie. She glanced at her parents who looked shocked also. Harold frowned deeply. “Are

“That's a horrible thing to say! Who says my marriage has ended? Killian just went out, he will return!” She cried. “Won't you pity my condition instead of rubbing it on my face?”Grandpa Jeffery shook his head. “I shouldn't have allowed Harold to raise you. See what he has made you, aren't you guilty of bringing shame to this family?”Lilian sat down, wiping her tears. “Whatever… you'll take back your words, Grandpa, once Killian returns and apologizes to me.”Heidi picked up her food tray and left for the stairs instead of the large doors. Jason was about to follow her and she paused. “This is bad timing. It's never gonna work.”“It has been many years, Heidi. You spoke the same words…” He held his forehead. “Don't tell me you're still obsessed with that man.”“I only want friendship from you.”“Our friendship ended right from the time our parents spoke about our marriage…” He leaned against the stair's railings. “Now I have a second chance-”“Not really.” Heidi shook her head. “Bu

Isla rose to her feet. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking from Heidi to Killian. “W-What are you here, Mr. Jonas?”“You know the answer…” Killian came forward. “I'm here to see you.”Covering her face, Isla cried helplessly. “Won't you leave me alone until the scandal escalates and tarnishes your image?”“What scandal?” Killian took her hands, moving them away from her face. “Believe me, that gossip won't spend the next minute on the media. I've ordered for it to be taken down.”“Is that supposed to make me happy?” Isla shook her head. “I've caused you your marriage; I can't live with this shame.”Killian pulled her into a hug. “Blaming yourself for everything is bad for your mental health. Why don't you put all your worries to sleep? I'm here for you.”Heidi wasn't able to calm Isla down, but Killian was able to.The couple hugged passionately, with Isla sobbing in his arms while Killian reassured her with words that came right from his heart.The sight was heart-warming, shakin
