At this point, Jennifer found many things to be extra weird. Her eyes held the narrow glint but she had kept it to minimal. 

Stepping inside the hall, they saw a lady, with a bit of her belly, standing in the middle of everyone. 

A certain distance away from her in the left direction, Lucas was pacing around. His fingers were already formed into a fist, where he was scratching his forehead in worry. ‘”God God….I can’t believe you did this..Seren.” 

“Bu-But Lucas, this is your child! How can you so ruthlessly say that you don’t want this?” Seren yelled, with her face filled with evident displeasure. 

Tears were on the edge of coming out via her cheeks.. Even the nose turned like that of a tomato and the redness had spread all over her face. “This is OUR BLOOD! We both..have..made it possible..why..are you so..” 

“Because I never wanted to have children with you!” came the stern reply, a ruthless reply one could anticipate from Lucas’s side. 

He was breaching on the peak of his anger, where his eyes had turned red from the evident fury that had played a game on his mind. “I was never interested in raising a child! I told you, to take contraceptive pills to avoid this..but you? You fucking.” 

“I….I love you, Lucas..” Seren nodded her head while caressing her stomach slowly. “This…is..the evidence of our..love… Why do you have so much hatred towards this..” 

To this, Lucas didn’t give any response. 

He had kept his head on his forehead. Turning around, he was already finished with all the blunder and the unexpected situation that arose in his sight. 

But then, his eyes caught the presence of another person at the entrance. “Jennifer..” The widened eyes were the evidence that he was filled with horror. 

At this point, she was the last person he had to interact with. Yet without delay, he ran in Jennifer’s direction to come across the disbelief written on her face. 

Pulling her close to his body, Lucas instantly hugged her while keeping his head in the pocket of her neck. “Jennifer..Jennifer..please..don’t get me wrong.”

“I..never wanted a child. Never..you are the only one with whom I wish to marry and start a family..” 

“Please Jennifer..don’t get upset. I..did just..I don’t know.” saying this, he had pulled himself away from her embrace. Without even staring at Jennifer, Lucas had rotated himself to point out at Seren. “This is the lady who climbed my bed. I never had any idea that she would do this.” 

“I never climbed your bed, Lucas! We both did everything willingly!” Seren once again shouted. 

She was taken aback by whatsoever Lucas said. It was putting all the blame on her head, which was country to her expectation. Moreover, Jennifer’s presence was itself very much new for her.

‘When did this fake fiance of his return back? And is he interested in marrying her? From when?’ Seren was totally standing in the mud with doubts and confusion. 

But Lucas didn’t spare her any glance. Rather he had focused himself in Jenifer’s direction, to once again say, “Jenifer….please keep your trust on my head. I had no idea.” 

“Lucas….” 

“What brilliant acting you do, Lucas Smith!” It was none other than the voice of another heir of the Smith family, Jack. 

On hearing his voice, all of their attention went straight away to find Jack at the corner bar. He was clapping his hands, in appreciation for Lucas, carrying a mocking smile on his face. ” I can’t believe that you had the audacity to get this lady pregnant and don’t acknowledge her.” 

“I never saw this trait coming from our family. Where have you learned this?” 

Jack’s sharp answer was directed at the sour wound of the entire Smith family. 

Even Mrs. Smith, Amara as well as grandfather Smith were shocked. Whereas grandfather Smith had sat at the center of the hall where the mess was being created.

Throughout the talks, he had decided to keep quiet, until he had the reason to differentiate. 

On the other hand, lines on Amara’s forehead deepened. “Hey, You Jack! Shut your fucking mouth! You don’t have any knowledge of the situation so don’t spout nonsense.”

“I’m doing nonsense? I think you need to train your son well Mrs. Smith. As the heir of the Smith family, whatever he has done and created such a large mess, who will clean it for him?” Jack’s brows had lifted with his malicious words. 

He wasn’t stepping back, which made Amara even sourer. She was ready to strangle him to death, but before her, Lucas had decided to come to say, “I don’t find Jack’s any requirement in this matter. Why don’t you show yourself the way to the door?” 

“He is the Smith family member, Lucas!” It was grandfather Smith, whose words simply were the next slap on Lucas’s existing face. 

He was left in no position, to go against Jack, regarding his own issue. ‘From when did he become the men of the Smith family? hah, now that you have reasons against me, you are actually declaring him as the heir?’ Lucas can’t believe his ears 

Meanwhile, Jennifer had easily removed Lucas’s hand from her waist. Till now, she had already noted that there were all the important members present in the house today. ‘Simple breaking news has made all of them step here? Interesting..’ 

Her eyes traced to find the presence of Veronica, Olivia, Amara, grandfather Smith and the one and only Jack. Including the lady who is pregnant, she was the most centered person today. 

A sneer passed from Jennifer’s lips before she came ahead to stand just in front of the lady Seren. While Seren had flawless skin, Jennifer saw the makeup being plastering on the lady’s face. Moreover, the deep makeup was making her skin look extra rough.

There was deep silence between them, a thick environment already created. Moreover, the expressionless face Jennifer didn’t give any hints. It was all blank, in contrast to the one of Seren, who had multiple emotions at depicting. 

“You are a famous actor.. you have fame, name, money…Yet you got pregnant with Lucas’s child. Didn’t you?” Jennifer enquired, with her statement, to which she got a nod from Seren’s side. “I’m pregnant and the child belongs to Lucas. You can ask him..and match the dates.” 

“But why are you giving up your career for a man like Lucas? You know that we both are going to marry sooner or later. I am his fiance. We were just a step away from marrying each other. And this….you are nothing but considered to be a mistress. You know what it means?” 

“You are pregnant with someone, who will never take you as his wife. An affair…out of the marriage…. With a married man.. and this child will be illegitimate one.”
