Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 95

The week that followed was haunting for Lana. She kept up with more alcohol, less food and didn't even go for

her scheduled checkups.

Despite how badly she wanted to believe everything would be fine, a part of her knew she was lying. Lancelot's

return couldn't mean well for her.

For

one week, she kept dreading and anticipating his confrontation. And finally, he did.

She was in a deep slumber that afternoon when her phone rang. There was an empty bottle of alcohol on the

floor beside her bed, while she laid carelessly.

It took her a minute to gather herself, then take the call when the unknown number called for the second time.

"Hello?" Her voice cout sleepy.

"Missed me?"

Her eyes widened when she heard the voice. She sat up instantly the remnants of sleep and drowsiness quickly

abandoning her.

Her

grip tightened around the phone; her tongue was too heavy to get any more words out.

"Oh, I'm sure you did." He laughed. "Well, we have a a lot of catching up to do, don't we? | need you to come

over to Ember and Vine in one hour. Not even a minute late, and | mean it, Lana." He ended the call. Lana's heart

was in her throat. For several minutes, she was frozen in bed, her heart racing in her chest as though, it was

being chased.

A while later, she was dressed despite how difficult it had been. She had selected the clothes at random and

didn't put color into consideration.

She ran to her mother's room, telling her what had happened.

"Okay? And what do you wantto do?" Rebecca asked. She was standing in her closet, sorting her things.

"Mum, con! | need your help. | don't...I don't know, anything at all! What can we do in this situation?"

"We?" Rebecca looked at her. "Did you say 'we'?" She burst out laughing.

Lana was dumbstruck for a moment.

"M... Mum, please. I... | know | messed up, but | was just being scared. | don't know what to do now."

her mother a long stare, but the woman wasn't changing her mind. Chapter 95

Sniffling, she wiped hertears and left to fight her battles alone.

She met Lancelot at the restaurant he'd given. But fortunately, he was in the garden which was private with just

him in it.

He smiled as she approached. "Oh, I've definitely missed you."

Lana was disgusted having to be near him. She was even more disgusted with herself for ever sleeping with him.

He may good-looking, but Lana would chose an animal over him at this point. She kept her gaze low when she

reached the table.

"Hmm." Lancelot accessed her. "Pregnancy sure looks good on you. Are you as curious as | am to meet the

baby?"

**%g lie to me, b***h!" He slammed his hands on the table.

Lana jumped back in fright, her eyes burning with wrath.

Reflecting the pain and terror he' 'd passed through, Lancelot was so close to strangling her.

"A very thin line separatedfrom death, b**h," he gritted. "I understand that | held your secret, but was it

worth my life? | could've been dead!"

Lana dug her nails into her palms. "I didn't try to kill you. Why would | do that?"

Lancelot's face was threatening until his lips stretched into a smile. "You didn't. Right?"

She quickly turned, and her heart sank into the very pit of her stomach when she found Kage approaching.

"Oh," Lancelot chuckled. "He's here already."

If Lana could have one wish fulfilled, she'd wish the ground could open up and swallow her whole.

"Welcome, brother. We've been waiting." Lancelot said with a wide smile.

Lana swallowed dryly, turning to Lancelot. "What're you doing?"

"Me? Oh, nothing serious. Just trying to make sure you two get along well."

"What's going on?" Kage demanded in a bored tone. He looked at Lana. "Why are you here?"

Her smile was so fake and nervous, even a toddler would be able to tell it was fake. "Uh... nothing serious.
