His Ex-Luna Is A Famous Doctor by Caroline Above Story Novel

Chapter 0028 Lucian , Julia scolded .

You should be more considerate to Aria .

Sheilas presence in my home has nothing to do with Aria Lucian replied .

My home , hed said .

Not , our home .

That hurt more than it should have , especially now , after Id left .

He really mustnt miss me at all .

And he was right , more than he knew .

Sheilas presence really did have nothing to do with me , because as far as I was concerned , Lucian and I were already divorced .

He was the one holding everything up by refusing to sign the paperwork .

Id already checked out .

Just like now .

I didnt want to hear any more of this argument .

Not Julias accusations , or Lucians defense .

It was nice seeing you again , I said to Julia and Harold .

If youll excuse me … Before they could stop me , I turned and walked away .

I didnt really have anywhere to go .

No one here , other than maybe Jasper , who wasnt anywhere to be seen , actually wanted to talk with me .

So 1 simply moved to another corner and stood there alone , sipping my water .

Id intended to finish my drink and then leave .

Lucian had insisted that I come tonight , and I had .

If his plan had been to get his parents to convince me to take him back , then he would be disappointed .

Yet , before I could finish my drink , Lucian , leaving his parents , returned to my side .

Aria , we should talk .

I dont have anything to say .

Then listen .

After a moment , haltingly , he added , Please .

I looked over at him , giving my attention without gifting him any more of my words .

Im not in a romantic entanglement with Sheila , he said Sure , I said , not believing him .

Im being genuine .

I looked away .

He watched me a moment , and then sighed .

I should have come to you and talked to you about what was going on with Sheila .

I should have prepared you first before inviting Sheila into my home , Η My home .

Again , he didnt consider it ours .

Also , with the way he was talking , the words he was using … Prepared , not asked .

He wished he had warned me first .

He never had any intention of making sure Id be okay with Sheilas presence .

What goes on in your home isnt my concern anymore , aid and sipped my drink .

The weight of his gaze pressed down into me , testing my resolve , but I held to my words .

Eventually , he looked away .

It took everything in me not to sigh in relief .

They are cutting the cake inside , he said .

Ill get you a plece .

I didnt stop him , somewhat pleased to see him go .

I needed a moment to breathe before I faced him m again .

glass against mine .

I rolled my eyes at him , and he laughed .

Even though I teased him , his presence did lift my spirits somewhat .

With Jasper , I didnt have to try so hard to be anyone other than myself , and given the many tense conversations I already had at this party , that was an immense relief .

I feared that tenseness had already taken a toll on my pregnant body .

I was feeling lightheaded and my stomach hurt .

I probably needed to sit down for a while , preferably away from all of these people .

But I didnt know how to ask for that , even from Jasper , without making a scene or giving myself away .

I didnt want anyone who didnt already know to learn about my pregnancy .

That included Jasper , Julia , Harold , Lucian , and everyone else at this party .

You alright ? Jasper asked .

Im fine , I unintentionally snapped .

Whoa , okay , Jasper said and laughed .

He lifted his arm forward as if to keep me from falling .

I think you might be lying to me .

I dont feel good , I admitted .

Yeah , thats more in line with what I thought .

Here .

He plucked the water from my hand and set it aside with his own on a nearby table .

Then he returned to my side .

Maybe we should get you away from these people … I just need to sit down for a moment … I thought I might pass out .

In my haze , I wondered where Lucian was .

What was taking him so long to get dessert ?
