Chapter 429 Alice Is Pregnant
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 itsted only a moment. He looked at me
and said, "Without Cotton and Candy to keep youpany, 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 amodate
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 ck eyes. Alice was pregnant?
It had nothing to do with me, but he mentioned it specifically for me to hear. That meant it was
rted 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?
Lucas seemed to notice my reaction and leisurely enjoyed my expression. He spoke with vivid
emotion on his handsome face. "Yvette, do you think Idris will marry Alice? I mean, the woman is
carrying his child, and he''s so responsible. He should give her a proper status, right?"
This man knew how to inflict pain, and each word was like a deadly de. My heart felt heavy as I
grew more disgusted by the look in his eyes. I stared at him and sneered. "Lucas, did youe
here just to tell me this? Just to see the pain on the faces of me and Idris, two people in love, torn
apart by you? Even if Idris marries Alice, what of it? Do you want me to resent him? Or do you want
me to stop missing him? Hah..."
I continued to mock him, looking at him with a scornful smile. "You''ll be thoroughly disappointed. Let
me make it clear right now. I won''t resent Idris, and I won''t diminish my trust in him. I love him, so I
believe in any choice he makes. I believe none of this is what he truly wants. I understand all the
constraints he''s under. If I can''t spend my life with him, I hope more than anyone that he''ll find
someone to spend the rest of his life with instead. Lucas, a person like you may never understand
what love is."
"Yvette Scott!" Lucas suddenly stood up and grabbed my neck. Perhaps I had struck a nerve as his
eyes turned bloodshot, and he red at me intensely.
Over these days, I had stopped fearing him. Even with my throat being constricted, I did not
struggle. I instinctively gripped his hand, staring at him coldly as I said with a hoarse voice, "What?
Did I say something so wrong to upset you this much?"
"Do you really think I won''t do anything to you?" He spoke, his voice filled with menace. Even so,
the pressure around my neck slightly lessened.
I remained silent while looking at him indifferently, like I was observing an angry little dog that could
not do anything.
Perhaps my response had been a bit too boring for him, but he released his grip on my throat and
coldly stared at me. "Yes, I don''t understand what love is. But Yvette, aren''t you right here beside
me? Can''t you teach me, then?"
Staring at his sinister expression, I was momentarily stunned, feeling like the man had gone mad.
He straightened up, casually adjusting his wrinkled clothes. Then, he looked at me and said, "Since
you trust him so much, Yvette, let''s wait and see if he trusts you as much as you trust him."
