All Chapters of Out of the box love stories: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

When Faith arrived at the mansion, Lucian and Emily were sitting in the living room and watching a Walt Disney movie. She stood in the doorway unnoticed and watched the two of them. Emily was sitting on the couch, Lucian on the floor in front of her, and she was feeding him popcorn.Involuntarily she had to smile, an intimate affection rose in her and she had the inexplicable feeling of really coming home.Suddenly Lucian turned his head and looked at her as if he had sensed her presence. Their eyes met, he smiled at her, and his eyes shone.The warmth inside increased and she suddenly felt the urge to throw herself into his arms, hold him tight and never let go."Hey," she said, embarrassed, and sat down on the couch with Emily."Hey."Emily immediately crawled into her lap, shoved popcorn into her mouth, and then snuggled up against her.So they watched the film to the end, then they had dinner, then Faith put Emily to bed.A

What's going on?" She asked worriedly."She wants Emily back," he said darkly.She stared at him in shock. "You can't be serious.""I'm afraid so," he muttered bitterly, and told her briefly what had happened in the consulting room."So what do we do now?" Faith asked, horrified. "We can't just leave Emily to her like that."“I don't intend to. I've already phoned my lawyer and I'll be going to London today to get everything started. I need to get a paternity test as soon as possible. ""Even a blind man can see that Emily is your daughter.""Sure, but unfortunately it has no evidential value in court.""Court," she murmured, affected, "do you think she would really go that far?""You may not, but I do," he replied belligerently. "I will apply for sole custody.""Okay," she nodded in agreement, "okay, do that. I'll try to cancel your appointments and call Dr. Edwards in Penzance to represent you. "&l

After the ceremony, the wedding ceremony took place in the hall of the parish hall right next to the church. Almost all the women from St. Albury had cooked and baked, so that there was an opulent buffet. The tables were festive and Shane had hired a few of his band friends for the musical entertainment.After a lot of congratulations, speeches and several rounds of champagne, it was demanded that the bride and groom should open the dance. So Faith and Lucian had no choice but to go to the dance floor.Lucian stepped up to one of the musicians, whispered something to him, and seconds later the first notes rang out."Only you can make all this world seem right ..." came the Platters' love song, and Faith's heart pounded a little faster."I thought we've at least practiced that before," smiled Lucian when he saw her surprised face, "after all, we don't want to be embarrassed."He gently pulled her into his arms and they moved slowly to the beat of th

After the wedding, Faith and Lucian's life went on as usual. During the day they worked together, at night they slept together, just as passionately as before and just as before they never talked about what moved them inside.Even though it still pained Faith that Lucian didn't reciprocate her feelings, she still enjoyed every day by his side, every night in his arms.Just a few weeks later, the trial for custody took place.In the meantime, Lucian had the result of a paternity test, which, as expected, proved beyond any doubt that he was Emily's father. His lawyer had arranged the necessary steps and after learning that Lucian was married he was optimistic about the trial.Although it was not usually customary for children of this age to be heard, the lawyer had recommended bringing Emily with you. "Just in case there should be trouble," he had reassured Lucian, who wanted to spare Emily this situation.The afternoon before the trial, they drove t

A few weeks passed and gradually the events surrounding the custody trial faded. Faith no longer thought about the observation in front of the courthouse, and Lucian seemed to have forgotten his plan for the trip together, or at least he didn't talk about it any further.As usual, everyday life took its course, and although Faith enjoyed life with Lucian and Emily very much, she always had in the back of her mind the question of how long it would go on. Now that Lucian had custody of Emily, there was no reason for him to stay married to her any longer. She noticed that he looked at her strangely at times, with a strange look that made her fear every time that he would come to her and ask her for a divorce.At some point this fear gnawed at her so much that she decided to speak to him about it herself.“Lucian,” she said timidly one night, as they hugged each other exhaustedly, “now that this is done with Emily, we don't really need to be marrie
