Aveline said, “Braden is probably not interested.””Huh? Why?” Selena asked, confusion spreading across her face.Aveline explained, “Baron, Braden, and Maria all have a special bond with Lucas. No matter what, they wouldn’t betray him.”She paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting to Brian, the man who had always seen it as his duty to protect Lucas. She wondered how he was faring now.Selena shrugged. “Alright, I suppose. He’s helped me a lot recently, and if it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have handled everything so smoothly.”Aveline replied, “It’s all over now. Taking him with you wouldn’t really serve any purpose.””True,” Selena agreed, nodding as she let go of the subject.She ended up staying in Larbor City for a month.One night, Aveline suddenly went into labor. The family rushed to action-though there was some initial chaos, they quickly regained control. Drivers got the car ready, calls to the hospital were made, and everything unfolded smoothly. At the hospital, Lucas held Aveline’s hand tightly, watching her sweat through the pain. His eyes were full of deep concern.”I’m going to be fine,” Aveline said with a faint smile, trying to hold back the pain.Lucas muttered, “This is my fault.

Lucas didn’t even glance at the babies, his eyes fixed on the nurse as he asked, “How’smywife?”The nurse reassured him, “Don’t worry, Mr. Tudor, Mrs. Tudor is fine, but it will be a little while before she can come out.”Selena was the first to hold the babies, frozen stiff, barely daring to move.”Oh my God, they’re so ugly!” she exclaimed, looking at the wrinkled, red newborns.Gavin frowned at her. “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”Then, his gaze fell on the babies, and he too went silent.Gernard chuckled. “Newborns always look like that. Don’t be so surprised. With my sister and brother-in-law’s good looks, these two will definitely grow into stunners!” Wilfried came over, gently taking the babies. “Come on, let Grandpa have a look at you two.”Selena glanced at Lucas, noticing that he was still staring intently at the delivery room, not sparing a single glance at the babies.”Hey, those are your kids with Ave. Aren’t you going to take a look?”Lucas’ voice was hoarse as he replied, “I just want to see her right now.”Selena fell silent.

Fortunately, after everything was taken care of, Aveline came out soon after.
