The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 152: Unboxing Lucas’ Gift

Wendell and his friends crowded around Shantelle outside the venue of Milan’s party. It was because she howled in tears when she arrived.

Wendell had to fetch her from the car because no matter how Miguel urged her to join the party, her heart felt like it was being squeezed by a hand.

“We all want to be there for him, Shanty,” Wendell said. “But he needs his isolation, right?”

Shantelle nodded and replied, “Yes, he does.”

Karise quickly got a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Shantelle’s face. She hugged Shantelle and said, “It’s okay. You can cry it out. We are all here for you.”

From Keith to Sean and Brooklyn, they gave Shantelle a comforting hug. Milan was the last to embrace Shantelle. She said, “Even if I had only known Lucas for a short time, I know he will survive this.”

“This is supposed to be your happy night. I’m sorry,” Shantelle said to Milan.

“That’s okay. I understand,” Milan replied. She smiled and added, “I would also be in tears if I were in your shoes.”

“I’m so glad I have you guys. Since I won’t see Evan often, I need those bear hugs,” Shantelle said.

“You are free to bear hug us anytime, Shanty,” Sean said, embracing her again.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Shantelle said, “Thank you, guys. I love you all. We better join the gathering. It would be a strange party without the celebrant.”

The intimate party was held at the Diamond Hotel Rose Hills. Milan’s

family was there, a few executives at the company and the Francos were also present. Only Rowan did not attend the celebration, which was understandable since he wasn’t invited in the first place.

Throughout the event, Shantelle and those around her table were in a video conference with Evan and Lucas. Shantelle had a tablet for everyone to chat with her husband and son.

“What are you eating there, Lucas? That looks yummy!” Keith said, leaning onto the tablet’s view.

“It’s broccoli, Uncle Keith. Earlier, the hospital gave me pork, but I wanted vegetables. Mommy said I should eat more so I can be healthy!” Lucas said.
