Chapter 669


    “A year?” Lisa repeated in a low voice, then asked, “Does that mean that you’re going to postpone your


    wedding with Jackson?


    Serenity nodded, “I haven’t told him about it yet, though. I’ll do it tonight and see what he thinks about


    it.”


    Still, she had a hunch that he would agree to it because ever since they had started dating, he had


    always agreed to everything


    she asked.


    Lisa studied her friend’s wearied, worn–down face and then suggested, “Why don’t youe with me


    to the mall, Serenity? Terry wants me to attend a g with him, and he told me to pick up a dress he


    ordered for me in a boutique at the mall nearby.


    To be frank, Lisa had never had any desire to attend any banquets or gs at all because she hated to


    be the center of people’s attention, but Terry seemed to have gotten addicted to dragging her


    everywhere with him and just would not take no for an


    answer.


    What was even more exasperating was that when she gave him an excuse of being too busy having to


    work overtime, the guy just smiled and told her not to worry about it, that work was more important after


    all, but then she soon received a call from her boss at work, telling her not to work overtime anymore.


    Anybody could tell that it was clearly Terry who was behind all this!


    Soon afterward, Serenity and Lisa arrived at the mall in the neighborhood, and Lisa led her friend to the


    boutique where she was supposed to pick up her dress. Unsurprisingly, the dress Terry had chosen for


    her was not of any ordinary brand, but rather, a first–rate luxury brand whose cheapest item could cost


    as much as thousands of dors, and the more expensive ones could go up as high as millions, all of


    which were avable in this boutique


    Lisa mentioned Terry’s name to thedy at the counter, after which thedy’s face instantly bloomed


    into a bright smile and very politely showed Lisa the dress that had been picked out earlier so Lisa


    could try it on and tell them if there was anything about the dress she would like to alter.


    “Could you wait for me here for a little while, Serenity?”


    “Sure,” Serenity nodded.


    She then browsed casually through the other items in the boutique, and just then, she heard a voice


    coming from behind her at the entrance of the boutique.


    “Are you sure the things here aren’t too expensive for ine, Lucas? I don’t mind the cheaper stuff, you


    know.”


    “Since we’re already here,” replied a man’s voice, “let’s just buy the best stuff. You can choose anything


    you like.


    Lte smiled sweetly and said, “You really are so nice to me, Lucas!”


    “You saved my life before, so it’s only right that I’m nice to you.”

    Lucas turned his eyes away from Lte as he spoke, but when he caught the sight of a familiar figure


    in the boutique, his whole body instantly tensed up.


    Even just seeing her back was enough to make his eyes sting.


    Then, through the ss disy window of the boutique’s storefront, Lucas’s eyes suddenly met with


    that beautiful pair of almond–shaped eyes.


    He was looking at her! As soon as Serenity made eye contact withcas through the disy window,


    she could clearly sense that Lucas had been staring at her. As she kept her paze on the man, the


    Image of that dream she had hadst night shed in her mind. That boy in her dream. She had never


    gotten the chance to take a good look at that boy’s face, yet what the little girl and little boy had gone


    through in the dream plus the fact that the boy was called Laloe convinced her that the boy was


    definitely Lucas!


    Lte followed Lucas’s gaze and saw Serenity Too, and her expression made a dramatic tum.


    Yet only a fraction of a secondter, Lte quickly forced a smile and approached her cousin.


    “Serenity! Is that you? What a coincidence! I never thought I’d see you here!”


    Serenity turned toward Lte and replied, “You’re right. What a coincidence.”


    “Are you shopping for clothes here as well?” asked Lte. “That’s great! Lucas told me he wanted to


    buy me some clothes and handhags here. Why don’t you help me choose which ones to buy?”


    As she spoke, Lte very cordially held Serenity’s arm, acting as if they were doting sisters. Any


    onlooker would have thought that the two women were very close with one another.
