Another month passed so quickly that Savannah didn't realize it. They had gotten closer, so much closer for colleagues. The kids had been enrolled in kindergarten together.It's like a routine for them, Charlie picking up the two from school at lunch and dropped them off at Savannah's house, or sometimes they stayed near Charlie's side, so the two wouldn't disturb any employees.This time, they stayed in the office.

They were sleeping on the rooftop. Dimmed light emanating from around them, creating a comfortable atmosphere as they gazed at the marvelous stars in the night.It's was very late, almost midnight. So, no wonder that Savannah and Lucas were the only two people awake right now. Charlie had been dead asleep in front of the television as soon as they finished the dinner.

Savannah was fast asleep with Amara in her embrace, Adrian beside the little girl.Amara, was she really her daughter? The question made him watched the two like a creep the entire night. He admitted that they got some similarities, the same color of eyes and hair. But, were those enough to prove that she was really her biological daughter?As much as Lucas wanted to deny it, they did act like mother and child in front of him. There was a little, faint hope in his chest that maybe Amara was adopted, and that those physical similarities were just a mere coincidence. He could just hope.Lucas wanted to ask the woman directly, but he wasn't so sure about that himself.

His assistant had been hanging around her a lot.Just like right now, they were discussing the new project that possibly would be a tremendous benefit to the company. Savannah was standing beside Andrew around the table near where Charlie currently sat.Lucas stood in front of Charlie, subconsciously glaring at the two.

He was wearing a black suit, looking at the window in deep thoughts. Yet, in the silent atmosphere, he still couldn’t think straight. Something was bothering him.After some moments, Lucas sighed deeply. His body falling into the chair behind him. A few minutes passed as a frown decorated his handsome face.Lucas took off his suit, changing it into more comfortable clothes, a black T-shirt that was neither too tight nor too loose.

Now, he was regretting it all.He was too arrogant in the past, and it unknowingly has become his weakness. It made him judge people without a clear head and looking at things from another person’s perspective.Lucas threw his body in the bed, clearly frustrated. His head hit the wooden table near the bed, yet he ignored the pain. Both his hands were covering his face. He felt numb, and in his heart, he realized that he had been such a fool.The marriage at that time indeed wasn’t held in a grand manner. Only the close work colleagues and distant relatives came to the wedding. Still, it must still be hu
