Chapter 639

Chapter 639

The following day, Chloe made her way to the Moncada household. Linda and Lucas's newborn had spent two weeks in the NICU and had just been brought home the previous day. Emotions were running high for Tara. Linda had always been a challenge, but Tara never expected her to pass away, leaving a child behind. The thought of a baby starting life without a mother was truly heartbreaking. Lucas seemed to be taking it particularly hard. He had shut himself away in his room, refusing even to come out for meals, and had started drinking heavily, almost like a man who'd lost his way. Sensing Tara's need to let it all out, Chloe listened as she vented, "I don't know where I went wrong with Luca. It's been days, and he's still sulking around, sleeping all day, and drowning in alcohol. He's living like a ghost of himself."

Trying to offer some comfort, Chloe suggested, "Maybe he just needs a bit more time to wrap his head around everything."

Lucas had once confided in Chloe that Linda had tricked him, drugged him, and used him. He had even expressed a strong desire to be free of her. Yet, since her death, he was inconsolable. The true nature of his feelings for Linda was probably something only Lucas himself understood.

Tara sighed, expressing her frustration, "I know he's hurting, but he's a man and now a father. He needs to step up. What really gets to me is that he hasn't even looked at the baby since we brought him home."
