    Grace could only sigh again and again. “Lily’s such a wonderful girl… How could you be so blind? Why insist on being with a…” She couldn’t even finish her sentence.


    Nancy was fuming, trying to calm herself down as she rubbed her chest. Her usually radiant face was clouded with deep worry.


    Sure, each generation should live their own life—but when she thought about her eldest son choosing to be with a man, her chest just tightened unbearably.


    She spoke weakly, “Being with a man… it’s not good for your health either. You really should-”


    “Lily’s pregnant.”


    Nancy hadn’t finished her sentence when her son’s voice interrupted, shocking her so much her eyes flew wide open. Shepletely forgot what she was going to say next.


    The others–Grace, Henry, nc, Ivan–were all visibly stunned as well.


    After all, they believed Lily was unable to conceive. To hear this out of nowhere was unbelievable.


    Once the shock passed, suspicion settled in.


    If Lily <i>was </i>pregnant… whose child could it be?


    It couldn’t possibly belong to their son, who was supposedly only interested in men.


    But even if Lily was pregnant with another man’s child, none of them med her. After all, marrying James had been the worst luck of her life.


    What kind of husband introduces his own wife to other men?


    If she’d ended up with someone else’s child, James was surely to me.


    “Bastard!”


    Henry was about to rip off his other slipper to hurl at him again–when James spoke once more:


    “It’s my child.”


    “What?!”


    They all shouted at once.


    Ivan was so shocked he slipped off the couch and crashed to the floor.


    nc mmed his hand on the coffee table. “You little punk–what did you just say?! Say it again!”


    James knew he had to be honest. This wasn’t something he could hide from his family.


    He held out the medical report. “I found this in Lily’s room tonight. She didn’t tell me about the pregnancy, but the child is mine. That night–when Wesley drugged me–Ashton called <i>Lily </i>toe help.

    I… I wasn’t in my right mind. I forced myself on her. I told her to call the police. But she <b>said </b>you all <b>had </b>been good to her, so she didn’t press charges.”


    “Animal!”


    Henry couldn’t take it anymore. He yanked off his slipper and threw it again. “Ivan! Call the cops and get this beast locked up!”


    Grace was so enraged she couldn’t even speak.


    The Luke family had always held themselves to the highest moral standards. They were upright, honest people.


    She couldn’t believe it. Her grandson–who always imed to only like men–had assaulted Lily?


    And after everything, instead of taking responsibility, he tried to set Lily up with another man. Even dragged Jackson into it, forcing Lily to fake a rtionship with him…


    What kind of person did something like that?


    He wasn’t even human!


    The more she thought about it, the more furious she became. Gritting her teeth, she turned to Ivan and said, “Call the police. Now. We can’t let a monster like this stay in our family. The Luke family won’t shelter filth!”


    But Ivan didn’t call.


    Because he knew–if Lily chose not to press charges, then no matter how angry they were, the police wouldn’t arrest James.


    Still, the disappointment in Ivan’s eyes was sharp and clear as he looked at his older brother. “Lily’s so kind. After everything, how could you still force her into a divorce? You really can’t tell the difference between trash and treasure.”


    Even Henry didn’t feel satisfied after beating James with a slipper. He turned and kicked his own son in the shin. “What the hell did you raise?!”


    “Bastard!”


    nc was just as furious. “What have I always taught you? A real man takes responsibility. You–starting something and abandoning it, selfish, cold–hearted–this is what you call ountability? Lily… she’s I suffered so much.”


    Nancy’s face was streaked with tears. She was heartbroken over her son’s cruelty and deeply pained for Lily. “She left so suddenly today–did you chase her out? You’d better make yourself clear right now. Are you really going to keep messing around with random men, or are you finally going to step up and do right by Lily?”
