While Lucas went to the restroom, I stepped out onto the deck for some fresh air and to think about the baby situation.
His attitude towards Bella today left me confused.
I felt I should ask him directly. If he no longer had feelings for Bella, I wouldn’t consider divorce anymore.
But if he still harbored old feelings, then baby, mommy might have to say goodbye.
Blame your dad!

I turned to leave and found Bella standing right behind me. I Instinctively covered my belly.
“Are you really pregnant?” Bella’s face twisted. “Didn’t you say you were going to divorce Lucos?”
“That’s my business!” I snapped.
Bella’s gaze turned vicious. I didn’t want to argue with her and tried to leave, but she grabbed me tightly.
“You manipulative woman. I won’t let you get away with using Lucas.”
“Let go of me! You’ve gone crazy!”
Crazy women really do have tenfold strength. As Bella yanked on my arm, in the scuffle she shoved me hard. My stomach slammed into the

Lucas rushed over and helped me up. “Are you okay?”
Seeing the situation, Max was also stunned. He slapped Bella across the face. “You crazy woman! What did you do to Ava?!”
I stood up, discreetly checking my reflection in the glass. Sure enough, there was a dark spot on the back of my white dress.
“Lucas,” I asked, trying to hold back tears, “Can you check if there’s blood on the back of my

“Doctor,” Lucas shouted. “Call an ambulance now!”

I was fine.
It was just my period arriving…
After all that drama, it turned out to be a huge false alarm. Looking at the room full of people, I immediately hid my face in Lucas’s chest.
“I’m so embarrassed. This is mortifying.”
Big Head was the first to recover, trying to smooth things over. “No worries, no worries! False alarm, that’s all!”
Everyone made awkward excuses and the incident was swept under the rug.
Seeing the bruises on my legs, Lucas went to get some arnica oil from the doctor. Big Head stayed to keep me company.
“It’s okay, sis. You and Lucas are still young, don’t rush it.”
Just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Seeing this topic wasn’t going well, Big Head quickly changed the sublect. “You and Lucas have such a great relationship. I’ve never seen him
