Chapter 102 - FANS FANATIC
"Mr. Lucaaas!"
Before Martin could end his daydream, suddenly the sound of several people shouting at Lucas resounded in the air. This immediately caught their attention, including the owner of that name.
They were astonished to see a group of girls of Martin's age rushing towards them. Before they could dodge, the group of girls had already approached and surrounded Lucas. There were even some middle-aged women who took part there. Ah, I don't know what catastrophe will happen.
Seeing the action, Martin just slapped his forehead. Didn't expect what he was worried about would happen so quickly.
"Mr. Lucas, you are very handsome, may we ask for a photo with you?" asked a crow-shaped girl who was already standing in front of Lucas.
Of course Lucas was confused, didn't know what was happening to him. He seemed to scratch his temple which didn't itch at all, then looked at Martin. Shrugging as if to ask that.
"That's what happens if you don't tell me first," Martin sneered, looking annoyed.
Yes, since Lucas and Ellena's appearance on television, he has become the target of his neighbors and friends at school. Almost every day he was visited by them, to find out the truth about Ellena's marriage to the number one rich businessman.
It was not difficult for them to recognize Lucas' familiar face. Even though they usually only see it on the television screen, considering Lucas' real face is not too different, they can immediately recognize him.
"Mr. Lucas, come on ... take a picture with us," whined a tiny foreign girl as she tugged at Lucas' hand.
"Elle, what is this?" Lucas demanded an answer from his wife who was also still shocked by what had happened. Meanwhile, his hands were still the object of the two girls standing on his right and left.
"I don't know, Lucas." Ellena shook her head with an expression full of confusion.
"We are very happy that our hometown has a great person like Mr. Lucas. Come on, Sir, take a photo with us," said the crowbar girl.
Who doesn't know Lucas. Even the people who live in the village know him from children to the elderly. Just look at their enthusiasm when they found Lucas there. It was a very surprising thing for Lucas. How popular is he to be chased by village girls like that?
'Oh my God ... what is this ordeal again?' Lucas groaned inwardly.
"Sir, have mercy on me. I am pregnant, I wish I could have a child like you. Can I hug you for a moment?"
The request of a woman aged around 25 years who was pregnant immediately made Lucas perfectly rounded. How could he let another woman hug him like that. Only this time he found fans who were as enthusiastic as that woman. So far, his fans in the city have never asked for more than take a picture.
The woman seemed to gently rub her pregnant belly while waiting for an answer from Lucas. "I beg you, Sir. People say, if a pregnant woman's cravings are not fulfilled, then her child will salivate at birth. I don't want that to happen. Please help me, Sir. successful as you. I beg you!" She said, clasping her hands in front of her chest.
'Ah, what kind of joke is this? How could a woman have such cravings!' Lucas grunted inwardly.
Lucas then looked at Ellena and Martin as if asking for help. Somehow he had to dodge, while they were already surrounding him.
Instead of helping, Ellena giggled amused at Lucas' expression, which was hard to read. Even with Briana and Martin who also did the same thing.
"Miss, please help me. Let your husband hug me for a moment." The pregnant woman seemed to approach Ellena while begging for permission.
Things that Ellena never thought before. Not wanting to be angry, it was actually very funny to her. It turns out that there are women who have such strange cravings.
"Lucas, come on ... hug this woman. Too bad she's craving." Ellena pleaded trying to persuade her husband.
Lucas was getting more and more furious at getting ridiculous orders from his wife. How could Ellena allow himself to hug another woman. This cannot be allowed. He had to quickly get out of there.
"Poor Lucas. Just give him a hug, please!" said Ellena pleading.
'What is this? Why was she the one begging, shouldn't she be jealous of that woman? She's so weird. Am I not that important to her?' Lucas growled incessantly grumbling in his heart.
"But, Elle—"
"Come on, just a minute, Lucas." Ellena cut in, not even giving Lucas a chance to speak. "After that you give them a chance to take a picture with you." She added, which suddenly made Lucas roll his eyes, feeling embarrassed.
"I beg you, Sir. Even your wife has given permission. Don't you feel sorry for my future baby?" The woman whined again, still not wanting to give up, even though Lucas had not responded to her request.
'Oh, my God ... what calamity is this?' Lucas groaned in frustration.
Given the shorter time, Lucas was forced to comply with the woman's request, with the permission of his wife. Dealing with rabid fans has always overwhelmed him to serve them.
Their requests were often unreasonable, but this was the first time Lucas had been asked to hug a pregnant woman. Unfortunately, his wife supports this. Ellena should have just let that woman's ridiculous request go.
'Luckily he just wanted to be hugged, not married.' Again Lucas grumbled inwardly.
"Thank you, Sir. Finally I can hug a man as handsome as you. I hope my child will be like you," said the pregnant woman, smiling happily, showing a row of white teeth.
Lucas only responded by nodding his head and being flat, while Ellena who was standing next to Lucas seemed to be giggling amused at the intimate scene of her husband with the pregnant woman. Especially when the woman tightened her hug on her husband's stomach.
Lucas who realized this immediately threw a piercing gaze. However, it meant absolutely nothing to Ellena. The woman was still laughing at what was happening to her husband at this time.
After that, Lucas served other girls who were already in line asking for a group photo.
"Mr, can you smile just a little bit?" protested the little girl who was now taking pictures with him.
'God ... I'm not an actor. Why be like this. I shouldn't have been to Martin's farewell party.' Lucas muttered.
Sorry. Yes, Lucas is very sorry. It would just be a waste of time for him. However, that was the only thing he could do instead of having to accept their painful tug, because he was the one who didn't fulfill the demands of his rabid fans.
Lucas forced a smile as the girl took a snap of the two of them. Ah, even he had never done such a thing with his wife.
Not only that. Even Lucas's fans also asked for a photo with Ellena, which overwhelmed the woman. Worse yet, they also asked for their autographs. Lucas and Ellena instantly turned into rising artists. However, they were lucky to be able to handle the fans well.
"Hey, wait!" called Lucas after his fans were satisfied and were about to leave in front of him.
"What is it, Sir?" asked the little girl curiously.
"Please take a photo of the two of us!" Lucas asked while embracing his wife.
The girl smiled and turned back to Lucas and Ellena. "Very well, Sir. With pleasure." She replied.
"Use it!" Lucas handed his cell phone to the girl.
Suddenly the girl stared at Lucas' luxurious cellphone. Even her hands trembled slightly with nervousness when she was about to take the luxury item. Only this time she found such a luxurious cell phone. I don't know how much it costs maybe hundreds of millions.
Lucas tightened his grip on Ellena's shoulder, getting ready to do his first photo shoot with his wife. Yes, it was the first time they took casual photos together, apart from wedding photos.
Meanwhile, Ellena just smiled at her husband's behavior.

They spent quite a lot of time on their farewell party. Their presence at the event was not in vain. They are very proud of Martin who was named the best graduate in his school.
"Congratulations, My brother. You're really amazing. I'm proud of you," said Ellena, hugging Martin with slightly teary eyes.
"Thank you, Sis. This is all thanks to you and Mother's hard work. Thank you for all your sacrifices," replied Martin, touched.
Martin did not expect if he would be chosen as the best graduate. Since sitting on the bench in kindergarten, he has always achieved achievements. Not even once from his friends who managed to take over the first rank which he always achieved.
It was a matter of pride for him. He is very lucky to have such a good mother and sister. Although their relationship is not biological, Briana and Ellena are like mother and sister to him.
"I'm so proud of you, Son. Congratulations on your success." Briana did the same thing by hugging her son, after Martin ended the hug with Ellena.
"Thank you, Ma'am. Thank you for your hard work all this time, for my sake." Martin replied, a little dripping of the clear liquid he had been trying to hold back.
Martin wiped a few tears from his eyes, before his mother let go of the hug. Of course he didn't want to look crybaby in front of anyone, especially in front of his mother. After ending the hug with his mother, he then looked at Lucas who was standing beside to Ellena.
"You don't want to congratulate me?" Martin said when he found Lucas who was just staring at him with a proud smile.
Getting a striking question from his brother-in-law, Lucas immediately chuckled. However, it didn't last long. He turned his attention back to Martin. He stood up straight while putting his hands in the pockets of the pants he was wearing.
"Prepare yourself, because maybe this week you will take the selection test for new students at Harvard University!" the message was so firm, it suddenly made Martin suddenly chuckle in annoyance.
