Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Wife

Nathalie looked at him in horror filled face while the whole darn moment was slowed down. Their eyes met when she could clearly see that there was no hint of guilt or remorse over Lucas’ face. It made Nathalie rethink whether whatever she saw in the headlines was even true or not. But she kept quiet and waited for him to speak first to know what cards he had to play.

The woman was pulled out of the thoughts when Lucas spoke to her loudly, snagging her attention.

“Nathalie…. are you alright? Do you feel suffocated? Or dizzy?”

Lucas immediately leaped towards her and sat in front of Nathalie on the bed. There was an utter happy expression over his face which contrasted to what Nathalie expected.

It was the moment he glanced back at the TV and saw the news, his pictures with Kaya were running from that day. Lucas immediately realised that maybe that was the stimulus which made Nathalie rethink and go quiet. The man seized the chance and reached for her hands as he began to speak.

“Nathalie, I am really glad you are up and totally fine.”

Lucas began to pour out his heart as he had been talking to his wife after a lot of months. And he did not want to lose the chance to say how he felt all those past days. Nathalie looked straight into his eyes and all she could see was the suppression of tears.

“Nathalie…Nathalie…”

He tried to speak further but could not contain his happiness, Lucas reflexively lowered his head and chuckled. It was the moment when Nathalie lifted her hand and touched his cheek. She was still clueless about what the news meant or what even had been happening outside.

But at that moment it did not matter to both of them as the duo longed for each other. Lucas looked in her eyes and confessed as a tear crawled down his eyes.

“I missed you.”

He appeared no less than a baby at the moment as Lucas leaped towards her and hugged the woman tightly.

Due to the posture her pregnant tummy came in between, Lucas released her and suddenly recalled that he had to explain everything to his wife. He was aware that Nathalie must be in shock after waking up to horrible news about her husband. The man wiped off his tears and glanced at Nathalie who still seemed dumbfounded.

It did not make him feel sad or disappointed because Lucas could expect nothing different from her. After all, she had just woken up from a coma and so many realisations dawned upon her instantly. The most natural reaction was Nathalie becoming speechless, which she was.

“Oh right, I have so much to tell you Nathalie.”

Lucas seized the chance and resumed speaking, Nathalie just blankly looked at him and nodded. Whereas deep down she had been looking for ways to stay calm and not burst out in rage or tears upon an assumption.

After getting encouragement from his wife he began to speak ahead and was sure that Nathalie would understand his situation. However, Lucas did not imagine that he would have to reveal his identity like that. He lowered his head in shame and guilt for hiding the truth from her.

“The news you just saw…that…there is some truth in it.”

He did not clarify what part of the news was true but his words had already stirred a whirlpool of chaotic emotions within her. Nathalie had no clue what to feel because she was suffering from mixed emotions of rage and disappointment.

Lucas lifted his head and saw her teary eyes, he could not feel anything else other than immense regret. Mr and Mrs Petrakis had warned him about the consequences of lying to Nathalie about his identity. That too a straightforward, strong and calculative lady like Nathalie who might not be as forgiving as Lucas had expected.

“I…. I know this might be a shock to you but I am not what you think. I…I…”

As much as he did not want to or tried to, Lucas could not prevent himself from not trailing off. His hesitation confirmed the doubts of Nathalie, although she still could not believe that the man she finally started liking could do such a thing.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Nathalie wanted to push him away but for some reason she could not make any move due to the horrible realisation. She had no idea that just within such a short time Lucas could change so much. The woman just kept on staring at him blankly with a pale expression while Lucas resumed.

“I did not want to disclose it like this…but I guess it is the time. I am so darn terribly sorry, Nathalie.”

He clenched her hands and made sure that the certain action would display his thoughts and emotions. Lucas took the chance of body language to show how regretful he had been feeling.

“I…I…”

Just as he was about to speak after finally getting some courage to say the truth about himself the door snapped open. The whole movement was so sudden and quick that both of them did not get any chance to react. It was grandpa Lancaster who was brought in by a guy, this time Nathalie finally noticed that he was in a wheelchair.

“Nathalie, my pumpkin!”

The old man was brought closer to her bed as she tried to bend in towards his direction. Grandpa Lancaster flung his both arms out and hugged her as he stroked Nathalie’s hair and patted her back.

“My dear, I am so happy to see you again. We all waited patiently for this day, I knew it would come sooner. Hah, after all we prayed for your health.”

The old man could not control his tears and tried to chuckle to hide his emotional side so as not to upset Nathalie. Whereas Khal jumped the bed from the other side and sat in between Nathalie and Lucas. The boy held her face and turned it to himself as he cheerfully hugged her.

“Mommy!”
