Lucas raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling into a smirk. "I thought you would like it."
Fed up with him, I had no patience and asked, "What's the matter?"
His brow furrowed slightly, showing some displeasure, but it lasted only a moment. He looked at me and said, "Without Cotton and Candy to keep you company, I was afraid you'd get bored all alone. So, I came to see you. Do you really despise me this much, Yvette?"
Not wanting to look at his annoying face, I lowered my gaze to the ground and replied indifferently, "Lucas, if you're enjoying your life too much and need to vent some frustration, I can accommodate you."
I expected him to explode, but to my surprise, he suddenly chuckled after a while. He got up, walked over to me, and crouched down in front of me. He tilted his head as he looked at me and said, "No need to rush, Yvette. Let's take it slow. People change over time."
I did not understand the meaning behind his words and looked at him with a puzzled frown.
He did not continue speaking at first. Then, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I came here today to share some good news with you. Becker sent a message—Alice is pregnant."
He said these words in a peculiar tone. I furrowed my brow while looking at him, but after a few seconds, I deciphered a different message from his mocking black eyes. Alice was pregnant?
It had nothing to do with me, but he mentioned it specifically for me to hear. That meant it was related to Idris.
I suddenly remembered what happened on New Year's Eve, and my heart sank. A sense of foreboding washed over me. Alice was pregnant with Idris' child?
