Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 514: Sick Again.



Chapter 514: Sick Again.

The following morning, Lucas ended up waking up earlier than he had intended to because of Jen's morning sickness. It was only now that he realised that they might have a hard time hiding her condition from their mothers. It did not help that she had plans with them later.

He now had the job of holding her hair as she dry heaved into the toilet. He had a frown on his face, as just looking at her made him uncomfortable. She was having a hard time, and the feeling of helplessness overwhelmed him.

He rubbed her back and stuck close to her the whole time until she felt a bit better. Lucas sighed to himself after she kicked him out of the bathroom. Jen was already reluctant to let him see her in such a condition.

Lucas didn't idle around and went to pick out his work clothes and start the coffee. By the time he walked back into the room, Jen had already climbed back into bed. He sat down next to her and held her hand in his.

"Are you feeling any better?" Lucas asked as he carefully studied her expression.

"Mmmh, I just need to rest for a bit longer," Jen said after opening her eyes to look at him.

"If you don't think you can have lunch with our moms later, just tell them you promised we'd have lunch together. Don't push yourself," Lucas said as he worried about her enduring discomfort.

"Mmmh, I will," Jen agreed.

"Sleep some more, if you have anything you want to eat later as the restaurant to prepare it for you," Lucas said and Jen nodded to show that she heard.

"Before you leave, free up some time on Thursday. We are going to have a wedding photoshoot," Jen said and watched as a smile suddenly appeared on Lucas's previously serious face. She was glad that he looked excited about it.

"I definitely will, rest some more, babe," Lucas said and kissed her forehead before he got up and went to the bathroom to take a quick shower. He didn't bother making any breakfast because he didn't want to risk Jen feeling sick again.

Lucas quickly got ready and talked to his assistant as he had his coffee. Since he had to free up Thursday, his schedule was going to have to be shuffled around to free up a day. Martin was already numb at this point. He didn't even secretly complain when he received Lucas's call.

After he had his coffee, Lucas went to check on Jen again and reminded her to take her medication later, before he left for work.

Jen slept for another three hours before she woke up. She was feeling much better than she was earlier. She was even a bit hungry. She took a shower and went to make herself some lemonade. She still had some time before she went to meet the photographers later.

Fortunately, after that morning, Jen was fine for the rest of the day. She didn't even have any issues when she was having lunch with Hellen and Diane. Hellen had managed to send wedding invitations to her mailing list and even sent a copy to Noah, just in case she forgot to invite anyone.

Diane, on the other hand, already knew who she was going to invite, so she did not feel much pressure. Her network was not that wide, to begin with. In fact, she felt like it may increase after meeting Hellen.

After they all had their lunches, Jen packed some for Lucas and separated with the two women and went to his office. She knew he did not have breakfast in the morning because he was trying not to aggravate her morning sickness.

She arrived at the company looking as fresh and pretty as ever. All the staff at the company were already familiar with her, so they let her in without much hustle. When she arrived at his floor, Martin ushered her to his office.

He knew Lucas didn't like it when someone interrupted his work. However, with Jen around, he knew that he will stop pushing them around like slaves. At least long enough for them to go out and have lunch.

Jen walked in to see the very focused Lucas, who had only looked with annoyance only for his expression to change as a big smile appeared on his face. Martin scoffed internally before walking out of the office. He was unwilling to stay there just to be reminded of how single he actually was.

"Busy?" Jen asked as she went to put his lunch on the coffee table. Lucas put everything aside and got up from his chair. He walked towards her and hugged her. Jen buried her face in his chest as she hugged him back.

"Not with you here. Did you have lunch?" Lucas asked her, and Jen nodded as she tilted her head back to look at him.

"Feeling better?" He asked as he gave her some space but continued to hold on to her waist.

"Much better. I brought you lunch. You must be hungry," Jen said and tried to step back from him but was held by him again.

"I didn't get a morning kiss today," Lucas said with a cheeky smile and leaned forward to steal a kiss. Jen was surprised by the sudden action, but by the time she came back to her senses, Lucas was already seated on the sofa.

Jen went to sit down next to him and unpacked the lunch that she had ordered for him. Lucas helped her out and watched as she went to his refrigerator to get him something to drink. She came back with juice and an empty glass.

"Go ahead and eat," Jen said as she poured the juice into his glass.

"Mmmh," Lucas responded, and picked up the cutlery to eat. As he ate, Jen pulled out the ice cream she bought on the way there and started to eat, too. Lucas watched as she gleefully closed her eyes after getting a taste of the sweetness, and he couldn't help but laugh at her expression. She was too cute.
