Chapter 688


    Chapter 688


    There were already a lot of people gathered around Serenity, but because of his shout, even more


    wereing over.


    With a slight frown, Lucas led Serenity to a car that was parked nearby and drove away after they got


    into the car.


    The gathered crowd could only stare as the car drove off. They started to gossip about the rtionship


    between Serenity and


    Lucas.


    In the car, Serenity told Lucas, “Thanks for that. You can just put me down somewhere nearby.”


    However, Lucas did not stop the car. Instead, he asked, “What happened back there?”


    “A stranger recognized me. After all, my sessful appeal became a hot topic online because of


    Jenny’s apology,” Serenity said, “Can you stop the car here and let me out? My friend is still in the


    bookstore. I have to meet up with her!”


    Lucas pursed his lips lightly. Eventually, he stopped the car at the side of the road.


    When Serenity tried to get off the car, Lucas grabbed her arm and said, “We’re only 300 meters away


    from the bookstore, so if you get off now, those people earlier might see you and surround you again.


    You should call your friend and ask her to meet you here.”


    Serenity hesitated but nodded in the end. She looked down at Lucas‘ hand which was still holding her


    arm.


    Lucas‘ grip tightened slightly, then slowly loosened up. After he let go, Serenity took out her phone from


    her bag and called


    Lisa.


    “Lisa, I ran into a little trouble earlier, so I left the bookstore. I’m now about 300 meters away from the


    bookstore in front of


    the Radiance Tower. Can youe over…”


    Meanwhile, Lucas stared at Serenity, lost in thought.


    Earlier, when he drove past, he immediately recognized her among the crowd. It’s funny how he could


    notice her at a nce. even though she was merely standing there in the crowd.


    Every time he saw her, he would lose control of his eyes, his heart, and the blood that flowed in his


    veins.


    At first, he thought she was the person he was looking for. He thought she would not be able to deny it


    any more once he found proof! But the more he searched for evidence, the more the evidence showed


    that it was someone else.


    The woman he should be treasuring was Lte, not Serenity!


    Even though he told himself that over and over again, when he saw Serenity in trouble, he still


    immediately got out of the car


    and went over to help her.


    The empty feeling in his hand kept getting stronger!


    Lucas slowly retracted his hand and let it hang by his side. “When are you and Jackson getting


    married? I’ll definitely attend the marriage with a generous gift. You’re Lte’s cousin after all.”


    Serenity replied, “Probably next year. I want to mourn my grandmother for a year first.” After a slight


    pause, she added, “To be honest, you don’t have to treat me differently just because of Lte. Lte


    and I may be cousins, but we’re not that close. I don’t think I’ve ever helped her in any way.”


    Lucas‘ lips almost pursed into a straight line. An awkward silence filled the car.


    Lucas‘ eyes eventuallynded on the twow–rted books resting on her thighs. “You want to


    practicew again?”


    “I’m thinking about it, but I don’t know if I can still do it,” answered Serenity. However, the desire in her


    eyes betrayed how much she wanted to be awyer again.

    Lucas fell into a trance. The person in front of him was obviously not the girl he was looking for, but why


    did she look so much like “her“? The look in her eyes right now reminded him so strongly of the look in


    “her” eyes back then.


    Back then, “she” told him with a serious look in her eyes, “I have the best grades in my ss. My


    grandmother said you can


    only get the job you want if you have good grade”
