Chapter 622
ra could not afford to take the slightest risk. She simply could not lose Yanny because Yanny had
be the only reason she kept on living!
Serenity knew that this was not the kind of matter she could meddle with as an outsider, so she could
only simply suggest, “If you ever need my help. I’m always here for you, okay?”
“Thanks!” ra smiled. “Actually, you’ve been helping me a lot, you know. Without you, perhaps Yanny
might never be able
to…”
Just then, a man barged into the restaurant and cut off what ra was going to say.
Lucas had just rushed in and was almost out of breath as he grabbed Serenity’s wrist, to the shock of
ra and Serenity herself, and asked her, “Are you really going to marry Jackson?!”
Serenity was stunned. They had not publicly announced this yet, and she had only talked to Lisa and
ra about it.
“Yes,” she answered firmly.
“Why?”
“Because I love him,” she replied, calmly looking at him, “and he loves me too, so there’s nothing
surprising about us marrying each other. Please let go of my hand, Mr. Gomez!”
Fortunately, it waste in the evening and almost closing time, so there were very few customers in the
restaurant, otherwise, Lucas’s sudden appearance might cause amotion again.
“You love him?” Lucas asked, feeling like someone had just stabbed his heart over and over again. The
pain was so unbearable that it almost choked him. “But back then you told me that you’d be with me
forever!”
Serenity’s brows furrowed. She stared at him in confusion and argued, “I never said such a thing!”
“You did!” he countered. “Back then, you told me you meant nothing to anyone, but I said you were
wrong, because you’re very important to me. Then you told me that it would be great if you could be
with me forever!”
He was repeating the words they had said to each other all those years ago. It was the first time he had
ever said such things to anyone because back then, he did not think that anyone was important to him,
not even his parents. Yet when he saw her lonely and forlorn, somehow it made him blurt out those
words without even thinking.
And then, when she had smiled, her smile was so beautiful that it had been deeply engraved in his
memories ever since then.
When she told him that it would be great if she could be with him forever, his first thought was that if he
could be with her, his days would never be dull or boring again.
Because he wanted to see her beautiful smile every day.
Serenity frowned even more deeply now. She meant nothing to anyone… She had certainly felt that
way when she was a child because when her father had remarried and had Aria, she was quickly sent
to her grandma’s house. Although her grandma was kind to her, everyone else treated her as if she
was an inconvenience and a burden. She could easily sense this because all children were very
sensitive to the way adults regarded them.
In fact, she had once even thought how great it would be if she could follow her mother to heaven!

But she did not remember saying all these things to Lucas before! Perhaps it was all just a coincidence!
“I told you before, Mr. Gomez. You’ve got the wrong person.”
“But I’m sure that I got it right!” Lucas insisted, “Serenity, please don’t marry Jackson! I don’t know why
you wouldn’t admit that you met me before. Is it because of Jackson? Or have you forgotten all about
it? But I’ve been searching for you all these years, and ever since west separated, not a day go that I
don’t think of you…..”
As he murmured those words, he raised a hand to try to touch her face. He wanted to tell her how
much he missed her and how much he regretted letting go of her hand so easily back then at the
hospital.
But she swiftly turned her face away, leaving his hand touching nothing but the empty air.
