Chapter 41: HE IS YOURS!

“Doctor Hale, can I take the rest of the day off? The school called. Lucas is sick. I need to make sure he is okay,” Shantelle asked, calling her superior.

“It’s okay, Doctor Shant. You had come in for surgery before five in the morning. Just leave your work phone open in case we have an emergency that Doctor Park cannot handle,” Doctor Hale said, and Shantelle confirmed.

She did not have time to have their family driver fetch her, but she instructed him to

meet her at the school.

Shantelle had walked out of the ladies’

room when a call came in. Her eyes widened, seeing it was Keith. She first scanned the restaurant and, after finding

Evan still in his seat, she lingered in one

corner and took the call.

“Shanty, where are you?” Keith asked on the other line. “I am in Warlington airport. We need to talk.”

She sighed and replied, “I am having

lunch with Evan -”

“What?” She heard him curse before

asking, “Did you already tell him about

Lucas?”

“No, we did not get to that part, and it will probably wait another day. I have to go to school and fetch Lucas. He has a fever. His teacher called me,” she

revealed.

“Does he know about me? About how I

knew where you were all along?” Keith

asked.

“No, and I’ll definitely have to talk to you about that, Keith,” Shantelle said.

“Good. I’ll see you at Lucas’ school. Let’s

talk about it. Let’s plan it out,” Keith

proposed.

Shantelle sucked in a deep breath and

replied, “Fine – fine. I need to go. I’ll see you at school.”

When Shantelle returned to their table, she told Evan she had an emergency.

She saw how disappointed Evan looked. He tried to reason with her, saying, ”

Doctor Shant. You promised we would have a proper talk.”1

“I know, but it really is an emergency,’ Shantelle replied.

11

Evan saw through the worry in her eyes. Realizing she was not just making

excuses, he asked, “Where? At the

hospital? I’ll take you –

“No. No.” Shantelle ran her fingers through her hair and said, “There is an

emergency with Lucas.”

“Oh.” Evan clenched his jaws. Suddenly,

he wasn’t willing to let Shantelle take her leave. “But what about your lunch? At

least, eat some of your meals. You barely touched your salad.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. I have to go,”

Shantelle replied.

Evan called for a server instead. He

suggested, “At least take the food with you. You can eat wherever it is you are going.”

He stood and grabbed Shantelle’s wrist, saying, “Please.”

The food attendant was quick to pack the food. Evan let Shantelle take everything, including his meal. He offered to hold the bags and said, “I’ll take you to Lucas.”

Shantelle was taken aback, and immediately, she rejected him. “No,

that’s not necessary. I’ll take the bags.

Thank you, Mister Thompson. I’ll take a

taxi.”

“When are we going to finish our talk, Doctor Shant?” Evan asked as they

walked out of the restaurant.

“If everything goes well tomorrow, then tomorrow,” Shantelle said without

looking back. She hailed a taxi, and when

the car stopped in front of her, she looked back at him and swore, “Look, Mister Thompson, I promise we will have that talk again.”

She paused and said, “But thank you for telling me about Nicole. I think I – I

needed to know that.”

Evan watched as Shantelle’s taxi drove

into the middle of the road. Just then, his hotel service pulled in front of him. An idea sneaked into his head; he wanted to see this man named Lucas.

He hopped in the car and ordered the

driver, “Follow that taxi. Be discreet.”

“Yes, Mister Thompson,” the driver

confirmed.

Minutes into the road, Evan was starting

to regret his decision. He shook his head, remembering how Shantelle had followed him in the past, shortly after learning of

Nicole’s return to Rose Hills.

Back then, Shantelle wanted to find out if he cheated on her. Now, he was doing the same, secretly following his ex-wife, only that Shantelle wasn’t hiding anything from him and they were no longer married. He simply wanted to check out the competition. That is, if Shantelle

would ever give him a chance. 1

‘What am I doing? Would I become a man who would try to ruin someone’s

relationship?’ He questioned his

character. Shantelle said she was happy

and in love with this man named Lucas.

1

Shouldn’t he be happy for her? ‘No, I

should at least find out if this Lucas is a good man, someone who deserves Shanty.

1

It took a little while for them to arrive at a

reputable school. Evan saw how Shantelle’s taxi had stopped at the front of the gate. She got off, carrying the bags in her hand, and walked toward another parked car.

His hotel service had parked across the street, where he had a perfect view of what was happening. Next, he saw an older man step out of the car. He took the bags of food from Shantelle and placed them in the trunk.

Relief overwhelmed him. It did not look

like the older man was Lucas. He was probably their driver, guessing how the same man regarded Shantelle with NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

respect.

Next, Evan saw Shantelle enter the school. It did not take long for her to come out, walking with a young boy, holding her hand.

Suddenly, he felt his heart race. He

wondered, ‘Who is that boy? Didn’t she

come to see Lucas?’

Before he could analyze everything, another car pulled over, covering the boy’s view. A man stepped out of the vehicle and immediately hugged Shantelle.

Evan’s heart drummed against his ribcage. He knew well who this man was. It was his friend, Keith Henderson.

Anger surged in his heart. Everything came rushing back. No wonder. No wonder he never found Shantelle. With how Shantelle and Keith were talking with familiarity. He realized his friend’s betrayal.

His hand balled into a fist as he

called the name, “KEITH!”

Forthwith, he got off the car. He bitterly marched across the street, his eyes

meeting Keith’s.

Shantelle must have also noticed him, for

she tried to hold Keith back. Evan could

tell they were debating, but he could not determine what they were arguing about.

“Let me tell him, Shanty,” he heard Keith suggest to Shantelle.

“No, Keith! Not as you suggest!” Shantelle reasoned with Keith.

As soon as Evan made it in front of his supposed friend, Keith said, “Evan, I’m sorry, but Shantelle and I are together. We have a son together, and his name is Lucas – ”

Evan punched Keith in the face! He did it once and gave him another blow. “How dare you, Keith? You knew I was looking

for Shanty! You knew I was miserable! How could you do this to me? How could

you touch Shanty! I thought you were my friend!” 7

“Evan, stop! Stop!” Shantelle screamed.

“You knew how regretful I was all those years, but you never told me! Instead, you touched her!” Evan held Keith’s shirt. He was about to throw another punch when Shantelle stood before Keith, saying, STOP IT! Evan, stop!”

Finally, she called his name, but not in the way he hoped.

“Evan, Stop! Please, listen to me!”

Shantelle had her hands up. She said, “I

don’t know what got into Keith, but he is lying!”

“Look at my son, Evan!” She pointed behind him. “Look at him. His name is Lucas.” 1

Evan was still full of anger. He wasn’t

ready to stop punching Keith, but what

Shantelle said next made his knees weak.

“Evan, Lucas is not Keith’s son. HE IS

YOURS!”
