All Chapters of Pregnant After The Contract Ended : Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Lucas stood outside the apartment door.His heart was beating so fast that he could hear it.Five years ago, he had lost everything.Five years ago, he had watched Naomi walk out of his life.And now...The door was open.Leo stood in front of him, smiling brightly."Batman!"Lucas laughed softly.Before he could react, Leo grabbed his hand and pulled him inside."Come in!"Lucas allowed himself to be dragged into the apartment.The moment he stepped inside, he became quiet.Very quiet.It wasn't a big apartment.It wasn't luxurious.There were no expensive decorations.No fancy furniture.But it felt warm.It felt alive.The walls were covered with drawings.Books filled the shelves.Paintings stood in different corners.And everywhere he looked, he saw signs of Naomi and Leo.A real home.A happy home.Lucas swallowed hard.For years, he had lived in a mansion bigger than most hotels.Yet somehow...This small apartment felt richer.Because it was full of love.---"Mama!"Leo shout

Leo looked from Lucas to Naomi.His small face was full of curiosity."Are you... my uncle?"For a second, nobody answered.Lucas felt his heart beating hard.Naomi looked at her son and forced a gentle smile."What made you think that, sweetheart?"Leo pointed at Lucas."You look like me."Then he took the old photograph out of his backpack."And he looked like me when he was little."Lucas slowly knelt until he was at Leo's height.He smiled gently."I think... we should talk about that another day."Leo frowned."Why?"Lucas chose his words carefully."Because some stories are very big.""And big stories need enough time."Leo thought for a few seconds.Then he nodded."Okay."He smiled again."But don't forget."Lucas smiled."I won't."Miss Emma called from the school gate."Leo, your lunch box!"Leo ran back to collect it.Naomi quietly let out a long breath.Lucas looked at her."I'm sorry."She shook her head."You didn't do anything wrong.""He is growing up.""He notices eve

Lucas stood in the hallway outside his hotel room.His phone was still in his hand.Victor's words echoed in his ears."Come back immediately.""The board meeting cannot wait.""Your family needs you here."Lucas looked at the phone for a long moment.Then he switched it off.The hallway became silent.He smiled to himself."For once...""I'm choosing my own family."He slipped the phone into his pocket and walked into his room.The board meeting could wait.Naomi and Leo could not.---Back at Naomi's apartment, the evening was peaceful.Leo was lying on the living room floor, building a castle with wooden blocks."This tower is too short," he said.Martha smiled."Then build another one.""I need help.""I think your mama is better at building castles than I am."Leo laughed."Mama!"Naomi looked up from her sketchbook."What happened?""My castle is falling."She walked over and sat beside him."Let's see."Together they built the tower again.This time, it stood tall.Leo clapped

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

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
