    Before James could speak, Nancy wiped at her red–rimmed eyes and snapped, “No–whether or not there’s a reconciliation, that’s Lily’s decision. She might not even want to patch things up! If it were me- pregnant and forced into blind dates, pushed into a divorce–I’d never forgive you!”


    Nancy had never experienced the horror of being forced to divorce while carrying a child.


    But she didn’t need to. Just imagining it made her blood boil.


    Especially when she looked at her eldest son’s face–so much like her husband’s–it made her even angrier. She scooted to the far end of the couch, putting space between them.


    “You…”


    nc immediately noticed the disdain in her eyes. He hadn’t done anything like James, yet he was catching k for it.


    But no matter how unreasonable her anger seemed, he couldn’t stand to see her upset. Quietly, he leaned over to her, softening his expression and trying tofort her.


    “Yes, Lily should decide whether they get back together or not,” Grace chimed in with full agreement. She shot a sharp re at James and added coolly, “Frankly, I think Lily shouldn’t even consider taking this brat back. It’s not like we can’t afford to raise a child. Once she gives birth, we’ll pay for everything, raise the baby together, and she won’t need to rely on some wandering bastard like him!”


    “Exactly!” Henry snorted. “If this little punk wants a kid so badly, he can go make one with one of his precious boyfriends.”


    He paused, then huffed again. “Let’s see him try. Let’s see if two men can actually make a baby.”


    James knew full well that he would never have physical intimacy with another man. And obviously, he had no way to make a child with one. There was no point pretending anymore.


    After a brief silence, he decided <i>to </i>tell the truth.


    “I don’t like men.”


    “What?!”


    Thest time Henry heard that his grandson wanted to be with a man, it had felt like a bolt of lightning. Now, hearing <i>this </i>new twist, he was just as furious.


    James understood their disbelief.


    Of course, he couldn’t tell them about how Lily once disguised herself as a man to date him. As always, he took all the me onto himself.


    “I lied. I said I liked men because I was furious about being forced into a marriage. When I woke urm thea and realized I had a wife I didn’t choose, I felt angry and disgusted. I couldn’t ept it. I why I pushed her away, lied to her, and tried to get a divorce. But now… I think I’ve developed feelings for Lily.”

    “You–1” Henry pped his thigh in frustration.

    So this whole thing–pretending to like men, trying to drive Lily away–it had all been some twisted scheme just to escape a marriage. And now that he’d seeded, and even forced her to leave pregnant, now he figured out he liked her?


    He was starting to wonder if there was something seriously wrong with the Luke family’s genes to produce a disaster like this.


    “You’re unbelievable!” Grace scowled. “You drove your own wife away and now you think you deserve her back? Serves you right if you end up alone!”


    “You better go bring Lily back!” she snapped. “If she doesn’te home… don’t bothering back yourself!”


    “Got it.”


    James had every intention of bringing Lily back. Now that everything had beenid out, he didn’t waste another second. His long legs carried him straight out of the living room.


    While he’d been in the room, the atmosphere had been one of chaos and fury–everyone had been itching to p him senseless or break his legs.


    But the moment he left, the mood in the living room flipped to joy and excitement.


    Ivan was the first to speak, practically jumping out of his seat. “Yes! I’m going <i>to </i>be an uncle! With how good–looking my brother and Lily are, I can’t even imagine how cute my little niece or nephew is gonna


    be!”


    “It’s going to be a niece!” Grace corrected him immediately.


    Not being able to have a granddaughter had always been a regret–both for Nancy and for Grace.


    Nancy had already given birth to three boys. Grace treated her like her own daughter and couldn’t bear the thought of her suffering through another pregnancy.


    If Lily had been unable to conceive, they would’ve epted it withoutint. But now that she <i>was </i>pregnant, Grace couldn’t help but pin all her hopes for a granddaughter on her.
