Their fight

Lucian's heart pounded in his chest as he took a step back, his eyes locked on Ava.

"He is... he is my son?.” Lucian managed to stammer, his voice filled with disbelief and confusion.

Nathan's words echoed in his mind.

(She said he never left us and... But honestly, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I can't help but feel like my mom is trying to defend his despicable actions. Why else would a father be absent from his son's life for eight years?".

"I suppose I just wanted to experience what it's like to be taken to a park by my own father."

"I never thought I needed to know who my father was. I believed I could thrive with just my mother's love.)

Lucian's voice trembled as he whispered, "Why? Why did you not tell me he was mine?".

Tears welled up in her eyes as she replied, "I wanted to tell you, but...".

Lucian's anger flared, his voice rising in frustration. "You wanted to tell me?." he shouted, cutting her off. The pain and betrayal he felt were overwhelming, clouding his judgement.
