Deadline for deciding
‘What!? No.’
Nathalie spoke in a loud voice, she could not help but to yell at alucas. tears crawled down on her cheeks as the lady had no clue how she could keep herself calm when her own husband had just spoken of divorce.
“No, I.. listen.”
She held his face once again and made an eye contact while Lucas tried to sound as if he did not care about her emotions hwn deep down the man was dying because he did not want that to himself.
“Listen to me honey, I know you are angry with me but splitting is not an option.’
the lady bent down and tried to caress his cheek, Nathalie sounded hysterical as if she might burst down in madness at any moment.
while lucas shrugged off her hand and gulped down the wine once again when nathalie wanted to shed tears as if her world had ended.
‘No. You can’t do this to me Lucas, I know you do not want Khal, I… I don’t know how to detach him from myself.’
She stood up from his lap and sat on the table in front of the man who had been giving her no expression other than a stone face. Lucas sounded and seemed so different from his usual simp appearance.
Nathalie had no idea that he would react so harshly over her truth which made her even more sad because Lucas was apparently a calm man who had never behaved brashly, not even with her family or anyone.
“Who is asking you to detach him from yourself? The boy does not already have you and does not live with you.’
Lucas leaned in towards her while putting his elbows on his knee as the bottle dangled in between his hands.
The man sounded stern and was determined in his plan he had made up his mind to ptr the things in the right places.
“He doesn’t have a family anyway. Do you want him to suffer like this whole life when you are unable to adopt him or even tell the world that he is your son!”
“For fucks sake Nathalie!”
Lucas knew he wanted Nathalie to have her son all to herself but he could not help but feel sympathetic towards Diego because the man was not guilty either.
“Diego wants to adopt him and I think it’s better if you decide fast about Khal, you have two choices now, Nathalie.”
Lucas gave her an ultimatum as the man lifted his finger up and pointed out at the calendar hanging on the wall near them.
The poor thing must have shivered if it were alive because everything in that room had been under Lucas’s mercy now.
What do you think Nathalie would do after knowing that Lucas had the power to set things right? If he wanted to use his sources and power, the man could easily adopt Khal but he did not want to do that!
“Either you adopt Khal and let the world know that he is your son, I’m willing to adopt the kid and you can tell the world that he is my son. The choice is yours whatever you want to do.”
The man paused and then rested his back on the sofa again while Nathalie stared at him blankly; she had never expected that Lucas would actually adopt khal. no man could stand someone else’s child and defitenly khal was not his own blood. (yes, that’s not the twist. khal is Diego’s son)Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“The other choice you have is to let Diego adopt Khal, he and his wife want a child and had been trying after their two miscarriages.”
Lucas had already run a DNA test and the results had confirmed that none of them, nor Nathalie or Diego were lying. Khal was indeed their son.
And now both of them had been struggling to adopt him.
But who will win the child? Was the child some kind of trophy? It means Diego knew that after Nathalie all the wealth would be passed on to khal.
“Are… are you really willing to adopt him?”
Nathalie spoke in disbelief that she had no clue that Lucas would actually agree to adopt him because that had never been in her mind that miracles actually happen.
The man had no idea how to tell her that he was willing to do whatever it would take to make her happy.
“Yes, it’s up to you to decide.’
The man put his feet on the table and gulped again.
Lucas knew how hard the choice was for Nathalie but the lady had to choose one and come up with some conclusion. Because Khal needed to have a family and a wholesome environment to grow up.
