“You were busy dealing with Lauren’s problems back then.”

Lucas kept his tone restrained, but the implication between the lines was unmistakable.

This was Dominic’s own doing.

Dominic’s expression darkened further.

“Getting angry at me won’t help,” Lucas continued. “The way you acted before, it wasn’t just that you didn’t believe she miscarried. What you showed, very clearly, was that compared to Lauren, her miscarriage didn’t matter at all.”

Her miscarriage didn’t matter compared to Lauren?

As harsh as it sounded, Lucas had hit the core of the issue with surgical precision.

That was exactly the message Dominic had conveyed before.

The words stabbed straight into Dominic’s head, making it throb even more. “I didn’t know she had really miscarried.”

“Yes,” Lucas shot back, “and to you, next to Lauren, she was just making a fuss while Lauren was the one who matte X Close

Dominic fell silent.

Lucas pressed on. “You can deny it all you want, but tell me, when something happened to Lauren, when were you ever not invested?”

“I wasn’t invested in her,” Dominic snapped, frustration edging

into his voice.

Invested?

He felt like he was losing his mind.

Why did everyone interpret it this way, as if Lauren held some special place in his heart?

“Wasn’t it?” Lucas asked flatly.

“That was because of Adrian. Why do you think I looked after Lauren? It was because of him.”

When Adrian was mentioned, Dominic’s chest tightened instinctively.

He didn’t dare think back on how he had lived these past six

months.

Adrian’s death was like a massive stone crushing his hea

Everyone had told him that he had to take care of Lauren for

Adrian’s sake.

The pregnant Lauren eventually became synonymous with the word “responsibility,” a weight that pressed down relentlessly on him.

It had poured rain on the day of Adrian’s funeral. Pregnant Lauren had cried until she fainted more than once.

The entire Hawthorne family was thrown into chaos.

“Yes,” Lucas said, his voice calm but unforgiving, “so for Adrian, you took care of Lauren, and in the process, this is how you treated your own wife.”

Dominic tried to speak. “I-”

“You can choose whatever you want. That’s your right,” Lucas cut in. “But then, when Aurelia was pregnant, what was your

attitude?”

Dominic clenched his jaw. “She didn’t even know herself.”

The word “pregnant” had only been brought up by Aurelia repeatedly after the miscarriage.

When she was actually pregnant, she had said nothing.

When the child was gone, she kept telling him again and again that the child was gone.

“And after she miscarried?” Lucas asked. “She knew then, didn’t she? She told you.”

At that point, Dominic had nothing to say.

She had told him.

She had said it many times.

Seeing his silence, Lucas continued, “She told you, and you didn’t believe her. Right?”

Dominic lit another cigarette, irritation radiating off him.

“You’re done,” Lucas said bluntly. “She’s not going to forgive

you.”

Given Aurelia’s temperament, forgiveness was out of the question. And even for any other woman, this would have been difficult to forgive.

Even if someone did choose to forgive, the damage would never fully be undone.

At the time, it might look like the issue had passed, but

into the light again.

In short-

Either Dominic divorced, or he would never have a peaceful life again.

Hearing Lucas say, once more, that Aurelia would never forgive him, only made Dominic more agitated.

“I asked you here to tell me that?” he snapped. “To tell me she won’t forgive me?”

Lucas’ mouth twitched. “Then why did you call me over?”

Wasn’t he here to listen to Dominic complain?

And if anyone had the right to complain right now, it was Dominic.

But frankly, it was well deserved. He should have taken a good look at the mess he had made himself.

“I want a solution,” Dominic said.

“A solution?”

Lucas stiffened further.

“Bro… you’re asking too much of me.”

What solution could anyone possibly come up with?

And besides, back when he was busy suppressing her and keeping her from making a scene, he had never been short of ideas.

So now what? Suddenly, there were none?

Dominic took another hard drag on his cigarette. “If no one thinks, then who will? You’re always the one with ideas.”

It was true. Lucas had never lacked schemes. But this time, he saw it differently.

“This situation is different You messed up badly. She truly wants to cut you off completely. Once a woman makes up mind to be done with a man, no matter how much she loved him before, she will turn around and not even want to look at him again.”

Dominic fell silent.

The truth of that statement hit uncomfortably close.

Lucas continued, “I know I’m being cruel. But right now, you

can’t appease her, no matter what you do.”

“The only thing you can do is refuse to divorce her. But with Aurelia’s personality, that will only make her hate you more.”

That, at least, Lucas had gotten exactly right.

Aurelia was doing everything she could to divorce him. And because Dominic refused, she despised him even more.

“So there’s really no other way?” Dominic asked, his voice low.

“No,” Lucas replied. “Unless you can give that child back to her.”

The moment the word “child” was spoken, Dominic’s heart skipped.

A child…

For the past two years, Aurelia had put in no small amount of effort to have a child.

But in the past six months, ever since Adrian died and the Hawthorne Manor descended into chaos, her fixation on having children seemed to have faded.

Chapter 148 Pretending Not to Know

Lucas said, “Even if you gave her another child, I still don’t see her forgiving you.”

Aurelia’s temperament was something Lucas understood all too well.

Dominic frowned. “Then why did I even call you here?”

Lucas couldn’t come up with a single useful solution, and Dominic’s patience with him was clearly gone.

Lucas fell silent.

Dominic had no idea how to fix his own marriage, but blaming others came easily enough.

Lucas was displeased as well, but in the end, he didn’t push it further.

Instead, he asked, “So what’s Aurelia’s situation right now?”

“She doesn’t know that I already know about the pregnancy and the miscarriage,” Dominic replied.

“She doesn’t kn
