Chapter 29 – Lucas' Pov

• I was taken aback to discover that Giselle had returned to the country, reaching out to spend my birthday with me. Caught up in a whirlwind of office tasks, her request left me torn. After all, I had promised my son that this day would be dedicated solely to him. Disappointing him was the last thing I wanted.
• “Please, just a brief moment, babe,” Giselle pleaded on the phone. “I want to congratulate you and mend things, Lucas. I'll be back. If you're too busy, I understand, but it's truly just for a moment.”
• Sighing, I reluctantly agreed, “Alright, but only after an hour. I'm swamped with work.”
