    Although his eyes were looking at her, his gaze appeared to be looking through her. Just who was he


    looking to substitute?


    There was a time when he kept imagining what the little girl would look lilor after she had grown up.


    The women that he dated would more or less bear some semnce to that imaginary woman.


    However, Serenity wasn’t the one who had saved him all those years ago. It was actually Lte, the


    lady sitting before him.


    He had seen her photos from when she was around 8 or 9. Sure enough, she looked a lot like the girl


    from his memories.


    However, the grown–up Lte waspletely unlilor what she used to look like. She shared simr


    facial features with Serenity, especially their eyebrows and jaw, but he could still easily tell these two


    people apart.


    What’s more, the aura they gave off waspletely different.


    “Luras?”


    The sound of Lte’s voice snapped him out of his thoughts. “You’re not a substitute,” he said.


    “Then.. were you really looking for a substitute back then? Or is it just gossip by the media?” asked


    Lte as she feigned. innocent curiosity.


    Being a seasoned veteran in the showbiz industry, Lucas easily saw through her facade.


    It looked like time changes everything, including one’s personality. Heughed at himself pathetically.


    After spending years thinking and longing for this person, he felt incredibly disappointed when they


    finally met.


    The girl used to be someone with an indomitable sense of justice, someone who held his hand tightly


    when faced with danger. Could she really have turned into someone who was willing to put money over


    her dignity?


    However, from his investigation and based on Lte’s old photographs and personal ounts,


    everything seemed consistent. He had no choice but to ept this reality.


    Perhaps he was being too persistent or maybe he was overly obsessed, but his heart felt like a


    stagnant pool. All of a sudden, he seemed to have lost the purpose of his life.


    “Alright, here are the documents for your college admission. You can go through the registration


    procedures tomorrow,” said


    Lucas


    “ch, got it.”


    Lte epted the documents, but she was still dissatisfied with his response. She asked again,


    “The thing about you and substitutes, is it true?”


    Lucas responded by pursing his lips. He stared firmly at her with his pitch–ck eyes.


    A sense of guilt rose up in her heart instantly.


    “You saved my life, and I’m thankful for that. That’s why I’m willing to help you now. However, I still think


    there are some boundaries you need to respect.”


    Both his tone and facial expression remained indifferent. The level of alienation in his eyes shocked


    Lte.


    It was at this point that she realized that although she had seeded in Impersonating the person he


    was looking for, Lacas was not an ordinary person.


    His status in the showbiz industry was well–carned.


    His eyes seemed to be capable of seeing through hier lies. What he had sald earlier was a warning for


    her to troul carefully. He was only willing to talk to her and help her out because she had saved his life


    mure.


    Should the daye when he found out that she had lied to him. Lte didn’t dare to imagine what


    would happen to her.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
