Chapter 72 Lucas Brown ~•~ “They won’t stop calling me, but I’m not ready to deal with them. I just want to get this paternity test over with.” I groaned inwardly as I complained to Jamie while we drove to the hospital. Before she could say anything, I continued. “And don’t you dare answer their calls. I’ll kill you if they want to speak to me through your phone.” I warned my sister so she wouldn’t put me in an uncomfortable position. Jamie lifted her hands in mock surrender. “Fine, I won’t answer my parents’ call even though I miss them and want to speak to them.” I laughed. “Don’t make me seize your phone.” “You think I’m still the sixteen-year-old girl who allowed you to bully her?” She asked with a chuckle as she rolled her eyes at me. “Will Jamie ever let someone bully her? It wasn’t bullying, it was just discipline.” I defended myself from her false accusations. Jamie and I began talking about our childhood memories. As we laughed about them, I tempora

Chapter 74 Layla Patel ~•~ I crossed my hands over my chest defensively. “Yes, I did. Why do you sound like you have a problem with it?” I narrowed my eyes. Lucas let out a deep breath. “You know how I feel about you, Layla.” His voice was measured. “I’m sure you did it purposefully, just to spite me.” I held back my laughter. Apparently, I did it because of Lucas and Kaiden. Just to spite them. These men were really confident in themselves. “I wasn’t even thinking about you, Lucas.” My voice was cold. “I’m an adult who can go out with whoever I want,” I added. “You always make sure every aspect of your life is private, but suddenly, you made sure all the blogs talked about your date?” Lucas asked incredulously. “I don’t control the paparazzi, so if you don’t have anything else to say, I would like to end this conversation.” “No, no.” Lucas countered. “Who was the guy? Are you in a relationship with him?” I rolled my eyes. “My personal life is none of you

Chapter 76 Layla Patel ~•~ It was finally the holiday, and it was time for the kids to leave for New York. They had been so excited about the trip. If only I felt the same way. We made a quick detour on our way to the airport. Hana wasn’t feeling too good, and she wanted to see the kids before they left. As we got to her house, we spent a few minutes with her, then said our goodbyes before returning to the car. But just as I was about to step into the car, I saw my brother walking in my direction. A part of me wanted to enter the car and slam the door on his face. But I just stood there and decided to be polite. I had tried my best to avoid him, but somehow he managed to show his face. “I heard you are going to New York.” He said as his eyes raked over me from head to toe. “Do me a favor, don’t come back here.” I rolled my eyes at him before turning around to the car. I thought he would be reasonable for once, but I was wrong. Our mother was sick and he was sti

Chapter 78 Layla Patel ~•~ “I’m just calling to check in on you and the girls. How’s New York treating you?” Kaiden’s voice echoed from the other end of the line. I ran my fingers through my hair. “I can’t say yet, I’ve only been here for a day,” I responded as I walked to the balcony of my hotel suite. The city view was breathtaking, stretching out endlessly before me. “That’s great to hear. Can I talk to the girls?” I knew exactly why Kaiden requested to speak to the girls. He just wanted to confirm where I was staying. So I decided to tease him a little. “They are upstairs, sleeping in their room.” Kaiden gasped. “You mean you’re staying with Lucas?” I could sense the mixture of surprise and disappointment in his voice. I couldn’t help but laugh. “No, I’m just teasing you. The girls are with Lucas while I’m on the balcony of my room.” My eyes darted around the city as I explained. “Why do you even care?” I raised a brow even if he wasn’t present there with

Chapter 80 Layla Patel ~•~ The more I thought about my last encounter at the house, the more my anger simmered beneath the surface. Every corner held a memory I would rather forget. But I didn’t act on my anger. I stayed calm, focusing on getting through lunch. Besides, nobody had said any condescending words to me yet. But their presence alone was enough to stir the unease inside me. I took a deep breath and reminded myself that it wasn’t the time to let old wounds bleed again, especially not in front of the girls. At least, Lucas’s mother welcomed me warmly. Maybe they had changed into better people. Just as I started giving them the benefit of the doubt, she showed me exactly who she was. I knew she was just pretending, and still was a horrible person. What was her business with how Lucas and I would co-parent the girls? Why did she even have to ask the question in front of the kids? It took everything in me to hold back from giving her a rude response.
