Alexei curled his lips.

He pulled Natasha, still squatting in a daze, to her feet, then touched her stomach. “You have to be careful with your body.”
Natasha shot him a glance, an indescribable look on her face.
However, Lucas was clearly overthinking it.
His lips were trembling. The next moment, he charged forward without warning, swinging
his fist.
He said, “Alexei, she’s only 23!”
He thought of the scene where Alexei had just dragged Natasha, who was fiercely resisting, into the gynecology clinic.
Lucas’s voice was brimming with overwhelming rage, every word squeezed out through clenched teeth, as if he were spitting blood.
He said, “You are forcing her to get an abortion? How shameless can you be?”
Alexei quickly pulled Natasha back two steps and effortlessly caught his fist.
He asked, “Mr. Wright, what right do you meddle in our affairs? Don’t you think you are being inappropriate?”
Lucas’s hand was almost twisted off, but he stubbornly looked at Natasha.
He said, “Even if we broke up, I’ve been like a brother to her for over ten years. You are a monster. You will never understand what responsibility means.”
Alexei thought, ‘Responsibility?
‘So Lucas was taking responsibility of Olivia back then?‘
Alexei was truly amused. “Mr. Wright, you certainly have the heart of a saint.”
He released his hand, skillfully pushing him back a bit, then bent down and kissed Natasha on the forehead.
Her eyes widened, and she wore a surprised look since she was shocked by the scene.
Alexei said, “But Natasha loves me, what can I do? Even if I’m an unforgivable scoundrel, she

can’t bear to leave me.”

Lucas refused to engage with the shameless man. With reddened eyes, he reached out his hand to Natasha.
He said, “Natasha, don’t be afraid. Come to me.”
He thought, ‘It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t broken Natasha’s heart, a manipulative person like Alexei would never have had the chance to take advantage of her.
How could a monster who would hurt his father and kin genuinely care for a woman?‘
Lucas’s heart bled with regret.
His eyes held profound sorrow and pity, along with a fierce determination to take her away.
Natasha, who was being pitied, mumbled confusedly.
She said, “What?”
Lucas pursed his lips. “Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you away. If you don’t want to terminate this pregnancy, you don’t have to.”
Natasha said, “I am not…”
Lucas saw her hand unconsciously rest on Alexei’s hand, which was covering her belly, and pain flickered in Lucas’s eyes.
As if making a profound decision, he stated, “When the child is born, I can be its father.”
Natasha was truly taken aback this time.
She scrutinized him, as if seeing him from a completely new perspective.
However, she shook her head firmly. “There’s no need. My child will naturally have a loving father, and that person won’t be you.”
Lucas was provoked by her words. “Who will the father be? Will it be this man who forced and coerced you?”
Natasha’s expression turned cold. “Lucas, stop letting prejudice and malice color your assumptions about our relationship.
“For the very last time, there has never been any coercion or conspiracy between Alexei and me. Only those involved can truly feel if it’s genuine.

“Your baseless conjectures simply mean you’re unwilling to accept the truth.

“Furthermore, your engagement with Olivia is still valid. Be mindful of your status. You’ve already crossed the line once. Are you going to do it a second time?”
Alexei’s thousand boasts could not compare to Natasha’s single retort.
Alexei, who was initially annoyed by Lucas’s audacious remark, enjoyed Natasha’s defense, and his face instantly brightened.
He looked at Lucas, who seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow, and curved his lips. “Mr. Wright, make way.”
Lucas stood rooted to the spot, his legs heavy, unable to move a single step.
He thought, ‘Natasha is right. I can feel it. Between these two, the atmosphere and physical contact are much more intimate and natural than at the last birthday party!
He was unwilling to admit that Natasha’s favor had fallen upon another man.
He swallowed the blood in his throat, forcing back the tears in his eyes.
He chuckled, feigning indifference, as if convincing himself. “It’s alright, Natasha. You are young, and you are too impulsive. I can wait for you to come through.”
He gazed at her gently. “Did you receive the flowers I sent you? How about I send them to you every day from now on?”
Natasha thought, ‘I never heard anything about that.’
She glanced at Alexei.
Alexei’s gaze flickered, and he casually looked towards the corner of the nearby wall.
Natasha smiled slightly, took Alexei’s hand, and said calmly, “I threw them away.”
These words were like the last straw for Lucas.
He said, “Why?”
Natasha said, “I don’t like those flowers. You sent them because you knew their flower language meant apology, didn’t you?
“You sent so many that you actually thought I liked them. Don’t you know that every time they appear, it means you hurt me again.

“Lucas, I never needed an apology. I just wanted to be treated fairly.”

She impatiently cut him off, “Don’t send anything else. I hate them, not for their appearance or meaning, but simply because they came from you.
“My house doesn’t need gifts from a third party. Lucas, such persistence is truly despicable.”
She spoke quickly, every word a stab to the heart.
Lucas had never so clearly witnessed what Natasha looked like when she was truly heartless.
His heart felt like a gaping void. He heard the wind howling.
Alexei gripped Natasha’s hand, leading her past the stunned Lucas.
However, after taking a few steps, he stopped again. “Natasha is not pregnant.”
Lucas looked at him in surprise.
Alexei, however, was composed. “Only an incompetent man would allow his woman to get pregnant out of wedlock and then force her to have an abortion.
“I’m telling you this not to make you happy, but merely to warn you not to spread rumors. Natasha always deserves the most sincere and cherished treatment.”
