Miles could only glare at Lucas from the bed.“Have you lost your mind? You hit a woman. What kind of man does that?”Lucas gave a cold laugh.“You don’t get to lecture me about that. After the way she’s treated Grandma, one slap was me holding back.”“You bastard!”Serena was shaking with anger.She scrambled to her feet and lunged at Lucas.Until a few days ago, no one had ever laid a hand on her.Then Gina had slapped her.And now Lucas had too.Who did he think he was?He had only just found out he was an Owen, and he was already acting as if he could come in and push her around.Serena had never been in a real fight before. She was running purely on anger as she swung wildly at Lucas.She barely managed to touch him.Lucas quickly lost patience.He caught both of her wrists and held them still.When he tightened his grip slightly, Serena cried out in pain.“Lucas, let her go!”Miles was still too injured to get out of bed, so all he could do was shout.“You hit

Lucas’s expression darkened.“Tell me what it is first. Then I’ll decide whether I can agree to it.”Fiona narrowed her eyes slightly and studied him for a moment.Then she reached for the designer handbag beside her, opened it, and pulled out a document.There was nothing written on the cover.She placed it neatly on the table and slid it across to Lucas.Lucas looked down at the document.There was no way to tell what it was from the outside.He looked back at Fiona, waiting for an explanation.Her eyes stayed fixed on him as she said calmly, “Sign this contract and become my secret lover. In return, I can give you anything you want.”Lucas froze.For a moment, his mind went completely blank.Then his eyes widened in disbelief.Had she really just asked him to become her secret lover?Was she actually trying to buy him?Anger shot through him so fast that he nearly lost control and flipped the table.But the last bit of reason he had left stopped him.Gina was still

Lucas was speechless.Everything Fiona had just said sounded completely insane to him.She would focus on her career, he would take care of things at home, and they would just live happily ever after?Their relationship had already fallen apart so badly that they couldn’t even be friends anymore, much less spouses.Fiona had lost her memory, so she could look at him without any of the baggage from their past.Lucas could not.He remembered everything.His dark eyes turned cold as he looked at Fiona’s earnest expression.“Ms. Shaw, I think I’ve already made myself very clear.“I have a fiancée. We’re happy together, and we’re planning to get married next year. I’m not going to become your secret lover.“If lending me the medical team depends on me agreeing to that, then there’s nothing more for us to discuss.”Lucas stood up.“This conversation is over.”He turned to leave.“Wait!”Fiona shot to her feet and grabbed his sleeve.She looked at him stubbornly, but when she

Lucas and Vivian left the coffee shop together.Once they were far enough away, Vivian let go of his arm.“Sorry about that,” she said. “Fiona wouldn’t take no for an answer, and it was the only way I could think of to get you out of there. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable.”Lucas quickly shook his head.“I should be the one apologizing. You got dragged into this because of me.“If you hadn’t stepped in, I’d probably still be stuck in that coffee shop with Fiona making a scene in front of everyone.”He looked at her sincerely.“Thank you, Vivian. You’ve helped me more than once, and I’ve never really had a chance to return the favor.“Is there anything I can do for you? I’d really like to repay you somehow.”Lucas had never liked owing people favors.And when it came to Vivian, he already owed her several.He had told her before that she could come to him if she ever needed anything, but she never had.He figured she simply didn’t want to trouble him.Vivian was thou

Once Lucas sat down, he poured himself a glass of wine and raised it toward Mr. Quinn Sr.“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I’ve been so focused on my grandmother’s condition these past few days that I neglected everything here and made everyone worry.“I won’t let this happen again.”He lifted the glass slightly.“Let me apologize properly.”With that, Lucas drained the glass in one go.Seeing how openly Lucas admitted his mistake, some of Mr. Quinn Sr.’s lingering anger faded.He gave Lucas a slight nod before speaking in his usual stern tone.“It’s good that you understand what you did wrong.“But you need to remember something. Right now, the most important thing for you and Ivy is to start a family and have a child. Everything else comes second.“I’ll let it go this time. But if it happens again, I won’t be nearly so forgiving.”Lucas nodded obediently.“You’re right, Grandpa. It won’t happen again.”Then he turned to Ivy, his expression softening.“From now on, I’ll make sure I
