Two sides of coin
Lucas and Sandro had made up with each other, Nathalie and Khal had already settled their emotions. The next day Lucas cooked food for both of them. The man walked out of the kitchen holding a soup bowl for the hungry tummies.
“Here let me pour for you. be careful, it’s hot.”
Nathalie poured out a spoonful for him and shoved the small bowl towards Khal. Whereas Lucas shook his head that he hadn’t been getting the same attention from her now.
It had been a day and Nathalie didn’t ask him how he was.
‘Tsk, I made so much effort but all I get is negligence towards me.”
The man was jealous from the kid, who had never met his mother before. Lucas took his seat when he stared at old Lancaster, who had been suppressing his laughter seeing at Lucas’s situation.
Lucas mouthed something to him, something that the man laughed wholeheartedly. The act snagged Nathalie’s attention who shifted her gaze towards him, and that was the moment when she realized how badly she had been ignoring Lucas.
The man who had done so much for her and for her happiness. Nathalie extended her arm and mouthed something to Lucas, as she squeezed his hand gently. The man leaned in and kissed her cheek, while Khal covered his eyes with a red face.
“Haha, it seems you have to learn so much young man!”
Lucas eased him while Nathalie elbowed him, Lucas pretended to get hurt while the old lancaster stared at the family in front of him. He heaved a sigh and recalled Nathalie’s mother as he looked heavensward.
‘I have fulfilled my promise, your daughter is safe and happy with her husband and child.’
He closed his eyes wit h relief after seeing Nathalie smiling with her family. She had suffered a lot due to family conspiracies and stuff.
But the old man knew that now she was in safe hands.
‘I’m sure Lucas will protect you no matter what. Even if I’m not around to protect you, you have someone to be your shield now, Nathalie. I hope you cherish him.’
The old man caressed his own beard upon seeing Nathalie feeding Lucas a spoonful of soup, he knew that Nathalie was still unaware of his identity. But he was assured that Lucas would fix things if they turn out worse.
“You are such a drama king!”
Nathalie teased him as she pulled Khal’s cheek, she was happy that the boy had been mingling with Lucas even after knowing that he wasn’t his father.
But perhaps the boy had already figured it out that his parents didn’t live together. It wasn’t hard fro Khal to see this since he witnessed Lucas’s behaviour with Nathalie. And he was just happy that he met his mother, but something was still empty in his heart.
Maybe he wanted a family, just like Nathalie. Lucas and Khal both continued to pull Nathalie’s leg as she began to tend to both of them. She didn’t notice when grandpa Lancaster left the dining hall, leaving the three of them all alne to spend family time.

On the other hand in Switzerland, Diego walked inside the mansion. The guards armed with weapons tried to stop him but they weren’t allowed to harm the man. Diego smacked one guard and pushed another away, he seemed angry as he strode inside.
“Viviane!”
The man called out to his wife who didn’t expect him to show up after getting the divororce papers. But to her surprise Diego was there in front of her eyes, as she saw him from the second floor.
“You still dared to show up here? How shameless can you be?”
she sounded infuriated as she mocked him bluntly without caring about his reputation in front of the guards. Diego smiled and ascended the staircase hurriedly.
“As much as you want me to be, my love!”
His words made her scoff and rolled her eyes upon his audacity to flirt with her even after so many things. The man leaned towards her and grabbed her wrist and dragged the lady towards her room.
Whereas Viviane’s parents heard the noises and appeared in the downhall. the guards filled them in and none of them interrupted Diego, they too knew that Viviane loved him to bits.
It was all just a misunderstanding between both of them, and they wanted the duo to sort it out on their own. Since they knew Diego and trusted him, they let him do the talk.
“Leave me! How dare you come here after whatever had happened?”
Viviane shouted at him as they both reached the room, Diego pinned her to the door after he closed it. The lady could feel his heated stare on her face and their breaths collided inducing a sensation in both of them.
“Will you give me a chance to say my part?”
Diego asked her genuinely while she stared in his eyes. and a tear crawled down on her cheek. Diego felt as if someone had stabbed his heart once again, the man loosened his grip on her hands.
“Don’t…”
He pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her waist, Viviane burst into tears and couldn’t hold back her true emotions. Diego caressed her cheek and wiped off her tears with a gentle handling.
“Don’t do this, let’s just talk. Let our hearts talk, Viviane. Please.”Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He sounded disheartened and lost with his words, all Diego knew was that he didn’t want his wife to divorce him.
