All Chapters of Pregnant After The Contract Ended : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Lucas stood motionless inside the exhibition hall.People moved around him.Some laughed.Some took pictures.Others discussed paintings.But Lucas heard nothing.His eyes remained fixed on the painting before him.The blue lines.The soft colors.The quiet sadness mixed with hope.He knew that style.He would recognize it anywhere.Five years had passed.But some things never changed."Naomi…" he whispered.His chest tightened.He slowly walked closer.The title of the painting read:Beyond the GlassLucas swallowed hard.A man and a woman stood on opposite sides of a glass wall.Between them was distance.Pain.Silence.But on the brighter side, a little boy played happily in a garden.Lucas felt tears gathering in his eyes.His son.Their son.Even without seeing his face clearly, Lucas knew.This painting carried Naomi's heart.And somewhere inside that heart, she still carried memories.Not anger.Not revenge.Just memories.The investigator stood beside him."Mr. Ashford?"Lucas

The morning sun was bright.Children were running around the school playground during break time.Inside the classroom, Leo sat by the window, drawing another mountain.His teacher, Miss Emma, walked around checking everyone's work.Suddenly, Leo's eyes widened.He jumped from his chair."MISS EMMA!"The teacher almost dropped the papers in her hands."What is it, Leo?"Leo pointed excitedly through the window."Batman is back!"The whole class burst into laughter."Batman?" one boy asked.Miss Emma smiled."Where?"Leo pressed his face against the glass."The handsome man!"Miss Emma looked outside.Across the street stood a tall man in a navy suit.He wasn't doing anything strange.He was simply standing quietly with a cup of coffee.He looked calm.And strangely sad.Miss Emma smiled."Leo, I don't think Batman wears suits."The children laughed.Leo frowned."He might."That made everyone laugh harder.---Outside, Lucas smiled softly.He could see Leo from far away.The little bo

The entire exhibition hall became quiet.Students, teachers, guests, and reporters all turned toward the stage.The final results were ready.Sophie grabbed Naomi's arm so tightly that Naomi almost laughed."Sophie, you're hurting me.""I'm sorry!""No, you're not.""I'm not."Both women laughed nervously.Professor Evans smiled."Relax."Sophie looked at him."Professor, how can we relax?"Professor Evans chuckled."I've lived long enough to know something.""What?""Whether you win or lose, life continues."Naomi smiled softly.He was right.Winning would be wonderful.But losing wouldn't destroy her.Five years ago, she had lost much more important things.And she had survived.---Meanwhile, across the city, Lucas sat quietly in his hotel room.He wasn't thinking about business.He wasn't checking emails.Instead, he held a small paper in his hand.Leo's drawing.The mountain.The little house.And the empty space.Lucas smiled softly."My son."He touched the paper carefully.The

"BATMAN! YOU CAME BACK!"Leo's happy voice echoed across the sidewalk.Before Naomi could react, the little boy had already wrapped his arms around Lucas's legs.Lucas froze.His whole body became stiff.Then slowly, very slowly, he looked down.Leo was smiling brightly."You're late today."Lucas laughed softly."Am I?""Yes.""I waited yesterday."Lucas smiled."I'm sorry.""It's okay."Leo grinned."I forgive you."Lucas almost laughed and cried at the same time.This little boy.His son.His precious son.So warm.So kind.And then…Lucas lifted his eyes.And met Naomi's gaze.Everything stopped.The sounds of cars.The voices around them.The people passing by.Nothing existed.Only her.Naomi stood frozen.The smile on her face disappeared.Her shopping bag slipped from her hand.Apples rolled across the sidewalk.But she didn't notice.She couldn't.Because the man standing before her…Was Lucas.Her Lucas.Older.A little thinner.His hair shorter.His eyes more tired.But sti

Naomi froze.Leo sat beside her on the sofa, hugging his stuffed bear.The little boy blinked innocently."Mama?"Naomi smiled softly."Yes, sweetheart?""Why do you smile when you talk to Lucas?"Martha, who was arranging flowers nearby, quietly stopped and looked away.She suddenly became very interested in the flowers.Naomi laughed softly."What kind of question is that?"Leo shrugged."I don't know."He smiled."You smile differently."Naomi blinked."Differently?""Yes.""When Aunt Sophie talks to you, you smile.""When Professor Evans talks to you, you smile.""When Grandma Martha talks to you, you smile."He pointed at her face."But when Lucas talks to you…"He grinned."You smile like sunshine."Martha almost laughed out loud.Naomi's cheeks became red."Leo!""What?"The little boy looked confused."I'm just asking."Naomi hugged him and kissed his forehead."Eat your cookies."Leo giggled."You didn't answer."Naomi smiled helplessly."My little lion asks too many question
