He's Busy Tricking? I'm Busy Winning

Synopsis

My name was Sophia Lane. After our third time having sex tonight, Edward Graham, still out of breath, wrapped me in his arms, clearly not done yet. He then proposed, "Honey, how about we hold off on having kids after we tie the knot? Maybe we could adopt Lucas instead." Considering his insatiable nature, I just brushed it off as a joke, assuming he was reluctant to leave our cozy two-person world. However, an unexpected eavesdrop on his phone call made me realize his words were no laughing matter but a carefully laid plan. "Dad, don't worry! I've already talked to Sophia. We're putting off getting a marriage license for now. As soon as Lena and Lucas touch down this afternoon, I'll head to City Hall with them." This left me scratching my head. Could it be that his visit to the City Hall was to adopt Lucas? But then again, the City Hall didn't handle such adoption-related affairs. "I'll bond with Lucas. If he's up for living with me, with our ace lawyer on board, getting custody will be a walk in the park," he added. Lucas was the child Edward's older brother left behind when he passed away, and Lena was his brother's girlfriend. As these facts pieced together in my mind, it felt like a thunderbolt had hit me. I staggered into the elevator in a daze. Once I reached the ground floor, I fished out my phone. "Emily, is that cooperation deal with your cousin still valid? I'll bring my contest entry to meet him in three days."
