Chapter 950: Sounds Like A Plan



After dinner, Tom and Lucy decided to take an evening stroll around the house while they waited for Lucas to arrive.

They walked side by side, their fingers entwined, "It's so funny and sweet that Lucas is in love with Amy," Lucy said, a smile playing on her lips.

"Why is it funny?" Tom asked, and she grinned.

"I remember how defensive he used to get whenever I asked or insinuated that he had feelings for her. I'm glad that he is finally going for it," she said and Tom smiled.

"You don't mind that your brother's girlfriend is your secretary?" Tom asked and Lucy raised a brow.

"Why should I? Amy is wonderful. You know I like her," Lucy said and Tom nodded.

"Yeah, I do. And I like you," Tom said and Lucy rolled her eyes but smiled.

"I want a piggy ride," Lucy said and Tom turned to look at her.

"That's so random," he said as he turned.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What's so random about wanting my man to carry me on his back when we are taking a stroll?" Lucy asked and Tom grinned.

"Ooh! Your man. I like that," he said, and she giggled.

Tom lowered himself so she could get on his back, and once she hopped on, Tom continued walking again.

They walked in companionable silence for a while and Lucy kissed Tom's cheek, "What are you thinking?"

Tom smiled, "I'm just thinking that I'd like to carry you this way fifty years from now. And I'm wondering if you'd weigh the same or more, or less. And then I'm trying to picture you looking fatter or frail," he said and Lucy smiled.

"I can't picture myself looking fatter. Will you love me less if I gain weight?" she asked and Tom shrugged.

"I will always love you, but I won't let you become fat," he said and she frowned.

"So, you're saying you won't love the fat version of me?"

"I'm saying I won't let that version exist. But I will always love you," Tom said patiently.

"What if you can't prevent it and that version comes into existence?" Lucy insisted.

"Then we will do all we can to get rid of it..."

"Let me down," Lucy said and Tom let her down.

Lucy stood facing him, wanting to see his face, "So, what if after we do everything we still can't get rid of the fat?" She asked and Tom sighed.

"Where is this question going, Jewel? Your mom isn't even fat. I don't think you're ever going

to be fat..."

"What if I become fat by chance? Are you going to leave me for someone else?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Seriously, Lucy, where is this question coming from or going to?" Tom asked, amused.

"From my head, of course. Where else would it be coming from? You could have left your answer at you'd always love me. Why did you have to add the part about not letting me become fat?" She asked with a scowl.

"That's to tell you I care, 'cause being obese isn't good for you. I mean health-wise. I want you to live really long and to be healthy," Tom said reasonably.

"So, you're saying you said that only because you care about my health and not because you'd find me less attractive if I gain excess weight," she said and Tom nodded.

"Of course. I'd love you in any form, shape, or color," he said, and she smiled, satisfied with his response.

"Okay. I want to get back," she said and he raised a brow.

"Get back where?" He asked, lost.

"On your back. Let's keep going," she said, and Tom chuckled, wondering what had come over her.

"Okay. Get on," he said, turning for her to hop on his back.

They walked in companionable silence for a while again and then Lucy broke the silence, "Ace?"

Tom's lips twitched with an amused smile as he wondered what she wanted to ask this time, "Yes?"

"What if we never met?" she asked and Tom chuckled.

As they talked, Lucy's thoughts drifted to their parents, and she looked at Lucas. "Do Mom and Dad know you're in Ludus?"

Lucas shook his head, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. "Nope. I haven't told them

yet."

Lucy clapped her hands together, a playful glint in her eyes as she reached for her phone. "Well, we should give them a call."

She quickly brought up their Mom's contact in her phone and initiated a video call. After a few rings, the screen lit up with the familiar faces of Andrew and Janet, their expressions

brightening at the sight of their daughter.

"Darling! We were just talking about you. What a pleasant surprise!" Janet greeted, her smile

warm.

"Hey, Princess!" Andrew greeted pleasantly.

Lucy grinned back, barely able to contain her excitement. "Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! Guess who's

with me?"

Before Andrew and Janet could make a guess, Lucas leaned into the frame, revealing his face with a broad smile. Their parents' reactions were immediate-wide smiles and a burst of laughter.

"Lucas! What are you doing in Ludus?" Andrew asked his tone a mix of surprise and delight.

Lucas shrugged casually, though his parents didn't miss the twinkle in his eye. "I was missing Lucy," he said with a playful smile.

Lucy couldn't resist chirping in, "That's not true. He's here because he got himself a new

girlfriend," she said excitedly, knowing the news would make their parents happy. Lucas shot her a mock glare, though there was no real heat behind it. "Lucy, really?" While Andrew looked at Lucas with interest, Janet, however, was all smiles at the news.

"A new girlfriend, you say? Who is she? Tell us everything!" Janet said happy to know that Lucas was finally moving on.

Lucas rubbed the back of his neck, clearly a bit embarrassed by the sudden attention. "I'll tell

you all about it another time, Mom," he promised.

Andrew, chuckled at his son's discomfort before his gaze shifted back to Lucy, "And how's

Tom doing?"

Lucy quickly turned the camera toward Tom, who had been sitting quietly beside her, and

Tom waved at the screen. "I'm doing well, thank you. How are you doing?" They exchanged pleasantries for a few more minutes, talking about Tom's parents and siblings, the conversation light and filled with warmth. Eventually, they said their goodbyes, and Lucy ended the call, placing her phone back on the table.

"Really, Lucy? You just had to tell them?" Lucas asked and she grinned.

"Yeah. I had to. They're going to see her anyway when we travel together. Is she not coming

home with us?" Lucy asked and Lucas winced.

"I didn't exactly think about taking her home. It didn't occur to me," he said and Lucy raised a

brow.

"Did you plan to stay in a hotel?" She asked and he shook his head.

"I actually didn't think or plan anything other than the fact that she would be traveling with me and attending the party with me," Lucas said with a grin and they all laughed. "What's your plan? Are you going to stay at Tom's place or a hotel?" Lucas asked curiously.

Tom and Lucy exchanged a smile, "We will stay at home with Mom and Dad," she said and Lucas smiled.

"That's cool then. We will stay at home too," Lucas said and Lucy let out a content sigh, leaning back in her chair.

"Sounds like a plan," Tom said, looking forward to the weekend with Lucy and her family.

"Mom and Dad are going to be so happy to have a full house. I can imagine their excitement," Lucy said with a grin and Lucas chuckled.

"I think I'm going to head in for the night now. I'm beginning to feel sleepy," Lucy said with a

yawn.

Tom reached over, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "I'll hang out with Lucas for a bit before

I join you." Lucy smiled, standing up from her seat. She leaned down to kiss Tom goodnight, her lips lingering on his for a moment before she pulled away. "Goodnight, Lucas," she said, giving her brother a pat on the back. "Don't stay up too late, you two." "We won't," Lucas promised with a grin as he watched her walk back into the house.
