Lucas Lee was so angry he nearly jumped out of his skin. 'She's drained by *me*?'
He was the one who was drained!
Their perfectly fine family had been thrown into utter chaos.
He couldn't control Cecilia Adler and couldn't influence Titus Shaw, so he vented all his frustration on Vivian Lee.
He stormed home and let her have it:
"I told you to marry Ian Quincy, but you just had to have your 'freedom to love.' And look what happened! Because that cheap tramp Cecilia Adler married up to get her revenge on me, I've been demoted two ranks in a row! So many people are laughing at me."
Vivian Lee's mind was currently consumed with thoughts of marrying Felix Flynn. After she was discharged from the hospital yesterday, Felix had come to see her in secret.
She had originally planned to tell him about her pregnancy and miscarriage.
But he spoke first, telling her that in a little while, he'd be able to hold his head high and marry her.
