Virginity in second marriages by Angela
Chapter 1523What to work for.

He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and leaned into her, his breath exhaling on her face.

The child was being held by Samantha, still with crystalline tears at the corners of his eyes, as quiet as he had cried before, staring curiously with wide eyes at the two people in front of him. He continued to stare, without crying.

Samantha closed her eyes and said helplessly, "It's okay to talk, you don't have to hold me like this."

"It gives me some peace of mind to hold you and talk."

His words left Samantha speechless for a moment and then she fidgeted for a moment.

"The fact that you haven't kept the baby and haven't even bothered me lately is not at all because you're tired, it's because you want to leave me, isn't it?"

She did not answer.

Was that a tacit admission?

Luke sighed deeply and explained softly, "If it's because of what happened that day, then I haven't really done wrong."

No?. Samantha laughed coldly in her heart; she did not think she had wronged him.

"It was really a special situation that day, that's why I took her to the hospital, Samantha, do you believe me?" Luca's tone was humble to a point when he said this. Samantha finally looked him in the eye.

"Believe you? What do you want me to believe you about? I am changing inside with a big belly, people come and go from the supermarket, you are a man who would be bumped, what if I get bumped? And who will take me to the hospital?"

"But after I explained that day, you made it clear that you were fine. Why, if in Anna's place you would have been ......"

"Yes, it's true, that day was the past, I'm fine with you saving anyone but not Anna.

I'm so unreasonable, she's the one you put on the tip of your heart, of course you would leave me for her, it's something I should have known, I really have nothing to be angry about."

Speaking of this, Samantha laughed to herself, "I was my own guilty pleasure, after all, I knew you liked it from the beginning and I stayed with you, some positions can't be replaced, and now I'm tired and I don't want to continue, okay?"

At the end of his sentence, Samantha felt unbelievable and vicious, saving someone's life was supposed to be a good thing, but she was living as a jealous woman, insanely jealous of the only thing Luca had for Anna.

It was exclusive, she couldn't even steal it from him.

"Okay, I'm tired, let's go to bed if we're done talking."

With that said, Samantha was about to back away with the baby in her arms, but Luca wrapped his arms directly around her waist and held her a few inches tighter, not letting her back away. "Don't go, we're not done talking."

Luca stared at her seriously, "You can't leave until things are settled."

"Luca!"

Samantha shouted his name with some anger, Luca's heart ached for a moment, then said, "Whether you're angry with me or scolding me, you still want to leave, so I'll be a slacker and do whatever you want.' After saying this, Luke advanced a few stitches and hugged her even tighter.

Samantha still held the baby in her arms, and he continued to advance again, startling her and shouting at the top of his lungs; "Can you be a little lighter, what if you crush the baby?"

Luca reacted to her screams and took a few steps back; "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

Samantha looked at him fiercely and went to look at the baby again to replace that he was still obediently and flirtatiously held by her, his eyes falling on her face all the time.

"The baby loves you, he is still so small, are you willing to leave him?" Luca saw that she was focusing all her attention on the baby and decided to use him to play the emotion card. "Look, he stops crying when you hold him, if you leave he won't be able to sleep well every day."

"Stop." Samantha interrupted him, her breathing a bit unsteady, "You don't need to talk to me about the baby, if you piss me off I'll take him away with me."

At her words, Luca's eyes darkened a little, "Are you really willing to do that?"

Samantha did not respond to his words, she thought only of herself, "And if I can't, you still have Anna in your heart, and she too, wants her child.

"Let go."

"No let go."

Luca held her tightly and did not let her go halfway, Samantha was a little annoyed, "Are you going to let me go?"

Her expression was fierce, obviously already angry, and Luca, fearing her anger, slowly loosened his grip on her under the gaze of her eyes.

Samantha went next door with the baby in her arms, and Luca was left alone, his eyes a little confused and a little pained.

Samantha still seemed not to hear a word he had just said.

What was she supposed to do?

Had she decided to leave him? If so, how could she go on with her life?

She did not know how long she had been standing in the room when Flora entered, and as soon as she walked in she saw her stupid son standing in a daze, not to mention how angry she was. "Brat, did you just ask you to think of something and you couldn't even do it?"

Luca's eyes were downcast and he looked a little deflated.

"If Samantha leaves, what are you going to do next?"

Luca snapped his head up at those words-yes, what would he do if Samantha left? He was used to having her around, used to the girl smiling and calling his name in the middle of winter, and then when he turned around she would put her cold feet in his arms and shout, "Luca, cover me, I'm freezing to death."

She was used to suddenly crinkling her finger at him when she saw something funny on TV, and when Luca approached her, she threw her arms around his neck, rubbed and pinched his ears, and then she could see Luca's ears turn red.

Used to the warmth and laughter of her being in his arms, used to her cuddling, commanding, being cute, all of it.

Now, looking back, it was surprising how graphic it all was.

"It's true, I couldn't live without her."

Luca laughed bitterly, "But if she really wants to go, how can I stop her?"

"There are many ways to try to stop her, however just stay close to her and don't let her go."

Flora said in a serious tone, "You're not taking time off from work to stay home, are you? Be with her every day, follow her wherever she goes, then how will she leave?"

These words were so enlightening that Luke felt they made sense and nodded his head.

Later, Samantha noticed that Luca stopped going to work and started staying home all day, occasionally coming into the room to keep her company.

Only most of the time, Samantha was asleep, and when he came in she would turn around and have her back to him, doing everything to ignore him. When Luke listened to Flora, he had the nerve to go talk to Samantha every day, even when she ignored him, he was always there. Eventually, Samantha couldn't take it anymore.

"You're not going to give up your job just to keep me, are you?"

Hearing this, Luke smiled to himself, "If I don't have you, what do I need my job for?"
