“You mean, the 50% of genes that I provided are free?” Jay looked at her with some amusement. “Even if you think so, it’s probably not reasonable in terms of the law, right?”

Maisy widened her eyes. In fact, what she said just now was just so that Jay could understand her determination, but she didn’t expect him to react like this. “No, but I really love Lucas. I can’t live without Lucas.” Maisy’s tone was very forbearing, and her eyes were already a little teary.

“L know.” Jay still couldn’t bear to say anything that would hurt her. If she really cried, he would have to coax her. “Alright, I can give up Lucas’s custody, but you have to agree to some conditions.”

Maisy raised her head. She was on the verge of tears just now. Now, Jay had given her a glimmer of hope. She didn’t know if she would succeed if they really started fighting for custody of Lucas. However, she was really unwilling to take this risk. Moreover, she knew that she couldn’t win against Jay.
“What conditions do you have?” Maisy frowned. She mustered up a lot of courage before she dared to ask this question.

“Even if you can’t give me custody, I still have the right to spend more time with Lucas. So, I need more time with Lucas.” Jay knew that he must maintain his persona as a loving father, so he quickly brought up Lucas.

“That’s not a problem. You can come to our home to visit Lucas at any time.” Maisy let out a long sigh of relief. She thought that Jay would stipulate some demanding conditions.

It seemed that he really liked children. Maisy couldn’t help but think of the past. Although he didn’t admit that he was kind, Jay had saved her and changed her life.

“I don’t think this is enough.” Jay picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it, then covered the comer of his mouth.

“Then what do you want?” Maisy’s hands clutched the corner of her clothes tightly. She was afraid that Jay would bring up conditions that she couldn’t fulfill.

“I think it’s better for me to move into your home.” Jay’s tone was very sincere. “This way, I can spend time with Lucas every day, and I can even coax him to sleep.”

“But…” Maisy was a little troubled. Living under the same roof as Jay every day, no matter how she looked at it, was very dangerous.

“Do you want me to get custody of Lucas, or let me move into your home? It’s your choice,” Jay interrupted her, “Besides, you know me. If I fight for custody, are you sure you can win against me?”

Maisy wasn’t intimidated by him. “I’ve said it before. I won’t stop you from seeing the child. Even if you really want to fight for custody, I’m not afraid. Lucas’s opinion is also very important.”

Jay didn’t expect that Maisy didn’t fall for the threat. He was at a loss for words for a moment. He could only compromise. “If it really doesn’t work, you can move into my home. The villa is huge and it’s more comfortable to live in.”

Maisy could discern the hidden meaning of his words. If they really lived under the same roof, if something happened, she would be screwed.

“How about this? I’ll bring the child to see you once a week.” Maisy pondered. “This should work, right?”

“No, I want to see Lucas at all times.” Jay knew that he couldn’t persuade Maisy anymore, so he could only use Lucas, who had always been good at assisting him. “Why don’t we ask Lucas for his opinion?”

Maisy nodded. After all, he was Lucas’s biological father. It was time to ask Lucas what he wanted…
